Our Story
It has almost been a lifelong journey to create bath and body products. It began with a trip to a bookstore to rekindle creativity that had been set aside while working in accounting. As I read through the soap book, I began to see the sheer botanical variety that nature offers and how we can combine them in different ways to benefit our lives.
The soap petal flower idea came about in a different way. My mother-in-law went into the hospital, and I wanted to give her something that she could visually enjoy and then take home to use. I was making bar soaps at the time, so I made orchid bar soaps and put them on skewers and into a vase to create an arrangement. After she was back home, I asked her if she had used the soap. She said, no, if she used it once, she would mess it up. On the way home, I was wondering how she could visually enjoy the flower and use the beneficial soap too. That’s when the idea came for creating artisan soap flowers with multiple petals, which I believe was inspired by God’s grace. When pulling a petal from the outside, it leaves the remaining bloom intact to keep enjoying visually.
Awards & Recognition
Mississippi Magazine was the first magazine to feature our flowers as the editor’s pick. They later created a beautiful photoshoot of a garden party that was inspired by placing the flowers as party favors at each table setting.
They were selected for Oprah’s O-List and have also been featured in Inspiration Mississippi, Florist Review, Victoria Bliss, Country Living, and Southern Lady Magazines, in addition to articles written by other publications. In the beginning, we won first place in our division of the Innovate Mississippi New Venture Challenge, and we are grateful to be a small part of our home state’s progress to create products that help others.
Our Why
LET’S GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER
Our days are full of little details, because the details in nature are part of its beauty and wonder. We find great joy in making sure those details are just right, and we also want them to have a purpose that is beneficial to others.
We also pass along nature’s benefits in the ingredients we use to create the artisan designs. Our hope is to impart a small part of nature’s delight and helpfulness in each product and experience that we offer.

My Loving Husband
I adore being married to my husband, Aaron, and love our little getaways that inspire me and remind me of what is truly important
Fueled By
During 2020, our dining room became a music and art room. Aaron set up a music recording area, and I experimented with watercolor, clay jewelry, and fondant flowers on our anniversary cake. I feel inspired when I am creating something for someone else, thinking about inspirational stories, or seeing the beautiful details in nature that remind me of God’s love and care.

My Faith in the Lord
What I am fueled by most is my faith. God is the loving rock in my life that I have learned to lean on each day. It has helped my faith to share stories about how God has been real in my own life and other’s lives on the Encourage Our Faith Blog. I hope that others are encouraged by these stories of God’s faithfulness and feel invited to share stories.
