Hey beautiful humans! 👋

So... remember us? The ones who made your skin smell like dessert and feel like silk? Yeah, we kind of vanished into thin air last January.

Let me paint you a picture of what REALLY happened behind the scenes (grab some popcorn 🍿):

Plot Twist #1: Family Drama Edition You know how they say "family first"? Well, mine took that VERY literally and decided to become a full-time reality TV show. Between managing family crises that made soap operas look boring and trying to keep my sanity intact, something had to give. Spoiler alert: it was my ability to make body butter without stress-crying into the kokum butter. 😅

Plot Twist #2: The Great Summer Meltdown (Literally) Then summer hit and I had a horrifying realization: our beautiful, creamy body butters turned into soup the moment it got above 75°F. Picture this: customers opening packages to find what looked like expensive vanilla pudding instead of luxurious body butter. Not exactly the "melt into your skin" experience we were going for! 🫠

The 8-Month Glow-Up Journey: Instead of panicking (okay, I panicked a little), I decided to use this "forced break" to level up EVERYTHING:

✨ Figured out the family situation (therapy works, y'all!)
✨ Perfected our recipes because if I'm going to stress-test ingredients, might as well make them PERFECT ✨ Upgraded our whole operation - new website, better shipping, prettier everything

The Bottom Line:Sometimes you need to step back to leap forward. Sometimes your family needs you to adult harder than you thought possible. And sometimes your body butter melting in a Texas summer is the universe telling you to slow down and get it RIGHT.
