When I ventured into this little project of mine
about a year ago, my intentions were to create my very own high quality, low cost cosmetics line. Well indeed I have done so. Just started that is, because the ideas & request just keep coming. Anyhow, in the beginning stages I concentrated mostly on
information and resources I could find on the internet. I used it strictly for searches, comparisons & reading the millions of articles on the subject. I found out how easy it is to burn up a whole day just reading the stuff on the net. Anyhow, I eventually ended up purchasing a few items off the internet to hopefully teach myself the basics of naturally creating. As so the
mayhem begins. After starting this in March 2003 I have become a Scientist, Chemist, Artist, Researcher, Designer, Advertiser, Marketer, Web Designer, Web Master,
Master Crafter and the list just keeps getting longer. But the thing that I value the most out of all this is the knowledge I keep on accumulating each and every day. It’s this knowledge and my big mouth that has inspired me to write
this statement. That and the fact the things I know now, one should never know in a lifetime! Once you find out what actually is really in the “products” you purchase at the store you might not ever want to buy big "name brand” products again. That goes for cosmetics, body care & hair care! Oh and lets not mention the crap they put into pet products! Here is one to think
about…. Do companies that test products on animals for human use or consumption, test those nasty pet “pesticide” products on humans? Maybe they should! They’d know how it really feels. My point is that the creation of all can be achieved without the abuse & suffering of innocent creatures of the earth! I have to believe that lab testing is not on the circle of life
wheel! God did not place these creatures on earth to be abused & taken advantage of!
Okay so having said that,
I just want to let you know
that by using my products this what you are putting on your face & body.
