First off... Thank you for stopping by & viewing my website :)
Now, let me tell you a little bit about me.
My parents growing up, they lived in the city & after they got married & had their first child (my oldest sister) they decided to move out to the country... this was in the 70's.
Growing up in the country in Southern Ohio, I remember as a kid we had chickens, rabbits, a couple cows here & there and a couple ducks. I remember me & my sisters going out & getting eggs, helping feed the animals & do whatever else mom & dad needed help with. Every summer mom & dad would plant a vegetable garden and of course, us kids would get the lovely job of pulling weeds, which is everyone's favorite chore right? LOL..
Of course it isn't, but the rewards came at the end of summer when we got to pick the fruits of our labor.
Nice big red tomatoes, green beans, pumpkins strawberries and pears... just to name a few. At the end of summer I remember my mom in the kitchen canning everything she could and storing them away for later. I can still hear the sound of the rocker from the pressure cooker as well as the wonderful aromas filling the kitchen. I am very grateful that I was able to learn a lot from my mom, whom I dearly miss, but now this is something that I can teach and pass down to my children & I am very thankful for that!
Throughout my life I have worked in restaurants, telemarketing, sales, retail, peer counseling and being a caregiver to my parents. I'm married, have beautiful & wonderful girls & I have always had a love for art & crafting.
In the past I have tried my hand at painting, drawing, crocheting & making greeting cards & candles but lately, my passion has been working with pottery, hand crafting soap & skin care products like luscious lip balms, whipped body butters that melt right into your skin, moisturizing lotion bars, moisturizing body butters that will kick your dry, cracked skin to the curb and wax melts that will fill your rooms with wonderful smelling aromas. Who doesn't love walking into a house that smells like Cinnamon Apple Pie or Fresh Laundry? I sure do..
I also remember as a kid, that I have always had extremely dry skin & was diagnosed as an adult with having eczema and psoriasis. Anyone who has these skin issues knows exactly what I'm talking about. I didn't want to use prescription medicine to treat my conditions because for one, who really knows what goes into making prescriptions for skin conditions, plus, all the side effects that come with it and second, I knew there was a better & healthier alternative out there.
This is when I turned to diving deep into researching how beneficial all natural butters & oils are for your skin. I was amazed & I just had to try it out. I've been making and using my own skin care products for the past 9 years & this has helped my skin more than anything else I have tried, plus... I have no idea what really goes into the creams and lotions that you get from the store. When I make it.. I know exactly what goes into my items... natural butters, oils, pure essential oils & fragrances that are FREE of harmful chemicals & alcohol.
I have always wanted my own personal business where I could offer great quality handmade items and be able to stay home with my children, now, I have that opportunity as well as doing something that I absolutely love :)
I hope you enjoy as much as I do.
PLEASE KNOW that any information that I provide is from personal experience and research that I have done regarding each topic. Nothing I write about should be mistaken for any type of professional or medical advice.

The Mental Wellness Company (Amare) the makers of Happy Juice is my other passion & is a big part of my story.
For most of my adult life (after having my twins in 2002) I have struggled with depressive thoughts, a super dooper active brain, as well as difficulties concentrating. Reluctantly.... I went to the Dr & I decided to try prescription meds to see if they would help. After trying many different ones, none helped me like I thought they should & I wasn't really digging the side effects that comes with it so, I just learned to live with my issues... Divorce strikes in 2010.
Fast forward to Twelve years ago (2012) my mom has a series of strokes & her health diminishes rapidly & she ends up passing away in April of 2012. This was a HUGE setback for me. For anyone who was really close to their mom, I know you know this type of pain.
Two years later (2014) I had an unexpected pregnancy that I absolutely wasn't ready for. There I was in my late 30's starting all over again.. I was not happy about it but I love my daughter all the same. After my mom passed my father was living by himself for a little bit & he wanted to be around family so he asked for me to come live with him & help take care of his place.. so we did & in 2016 is when my husband & I got marred.
2018 comes along & here comes another little girl to add to the mix & she knows how to brighten a room & put a smile on your face. God knew what I needed way before I did.
2019 as we all know is when Covid hits hard & devastates a lot of our worlds (Hugs to those who lost loved ones)..
The end of May of 2021, we find out that my father has bladder cancer.... right out the gates it's Stage 4.... talk about heartbreaking & bringing you to your knees.
After about a year & a half of Dr visit's, hospital stays, treatments, blood transfusions, etc.. my father lost his battle to cancer in Dec of 2022. This absolutely left me numb.
I would literally stay in bed almost all day. I couldn't think straight, I couldn't function, I had absolutely no energy or motivation, my emotions were all over the place, no one could stand to be around me for very long, nor did I want anyone around me. I felt like my body was just giving up.
My sisters & I decided to take a trip out West to South Dakota in June of 2023 because this is somewhere that dad wanted to go back to & we couldn't do that for him before he passed away.
A couple weeks after coming back from our trip I was strolling along through Facebook & I seen a friend post about this all natural supplement that you drink that helps improve your energy, mood, motivation & your gut health.
After stalking her page for a few weeks I decided to reach out to her asking about how it is helping with her problems. She couldn't stop talking about the difference that it was making in her life.. so I figured what the heck could it hurt.. I mean... it's all natural.. has won many nutri-awards & comes with a 90 day money back guarantee. How awesome is that?
So, I put in my order & wait for my package. I'm so excited & hopeful when I get it & that's when I started my own Mental Wellness Journey Happy Juice.
Needless to say, it has went above & beyond my expectations. Happy Juice has given me back my energy, motivation, has improved my mood dramatically, helps me handle stress WAY better, I can think more clearly & my depressive thoughts aren't depressive thoughts anymore. I can honestly say that I am extremely happy with how my Mental Wellness has improved in less than a year.
