I began making natural bath & body products in my kitchen in 2000 as a way to make family and friends homemade, practical gifts. Shortly thereafter, I began teaching classes. It seemed only natural for me to combine my passion for my new hobby with my training and love for teaching. I have a Master's Degree in Speech Communication from the University of Hawaii (which has nothing to do with making natural products, but I always knew I would end up teaching in some capacity). I currently teach the following product making classes: lotions & creams, 3 types of body butters, bath salts & body scrubs, spa facial products, fresh facials from the fridge, lip balm, bath melts & solid salt scrubs, fizzy bath bombs & herbal tub tea, massage oils, body powders & milk baths, cold process soap making, hot process soapmaking, melt & pour soap crafting, eco-friendly candle making, natural baby products, and making natural perfumes.
