Angela Wells - Serein Natural
We can not say enough about this skin care line! Before Serein Naturals we couldn't find products good enough to even consider a routine, as most of them created the problem they were designed to help with. Serein {Se-rāin}was founded in 2016 by Angela Wells, with the help of her sister and cousins. In need of a healthy scalp treatment to repair damage and nurture hair growth, she set out to make her own formula from chemical-free and vegan ingredients. Her background as an organic oil consultant for dōTERRA gave her extensive knowledge of essential oils, and she incorporated that expertise when she created Hair Gold. With that, the idea for Serein Naturals was born. We now offer a diverse array of face, body, and hair products that you’ll feel great about using every day.

Cheriece Peterson - Natural Urbanity
If we could sum up our experience with Natural Urbanity in just a few words it would be The Softest Skin Ever. Cheriece is a wife and mother of 5 blessings, known affectionately as Reese. Reese was driven to start her own business while transitioning from relaxed to natural hair. "I found that many products either didn't work, too expensive or had ingredients that were down right scary. I started on this path of doing research and finding out that products didn't have to be synthetic, overly complex, and that I could make them myself." I wanted others to have that same benefit and availability as well. Thus, Natural Urbanity was inspired and birthed from her love and passion of all things natural. Reese prays that customers enjoy all the fun scents and benefits of Natural Urbanity products as much as she enjoy creating them! Additionally, each product order on her website has the option to be customized. You can specifiy the scent or include a message on the label. You can find Natural Urbanity body butters in our Limited Edition Gift Box

Felicia Jackson - CPR Wrap
Despite her CPR certification and career as a medical professional, Felicia Jackson froze when her 2-year-old son experienced a choking incident in the backseat of her car. When Felicia froze from fear, her husband acted quickly and saved the toddler, but Jackson was left shaken. Following the incident she became determined to prevent the same thing from happening to others. If a trained professional can forget CPR under extreme stress, Jackson knew it was probably happening to people everywhere. As an answer to this very present danger, she invented CPR Wrap. It is a disposable CPR template that lays across the victim's chest and provides step-by-step instructions to any lay responder. In addition to the instructions, CPR Wrap has an attached one-way valve mouth barrier and visual hand placements for proper compression. Felicia's story is so relatable as any of us could be overcome by fear, especially when it comes to saving the life of a loved one. Time is critical when it comes to life saving actions like CPR and for that reason you can find an infant sized CPRwrap in each of our Lactation Gift Baskets.

Pamela Richardson - Miss Peabody's Southern Tea Cakes
Miss Peabody’s Southern Tea Cakes was started as an act of self-love. The company’s Founder/Owner, Pamela Richard, had just been let go from her job. Unsure what her next move would be inspiration struck while watching an episode of The Great British Baking Show. She began to remember her grandmother baking tea cakes for her siblings and cousins. She recalled the immense amount of care and compassion she experienced sitting in her grandmother’s kitchen. It all became clear what she needed to do and in November 2017 Miss Peabody’s was born. “When I’m baking, I can feel my grandmother hugging me.” Miss Peabody was the nickname given to Pamela by her Grandma Helen. For those wondering what exactly is a tea cake: tea cakes are a combination of a cake, cookie, and biscuit all rolled into one. The result is a buttery, tender, chewy bite of deliciousness. Not only are they delicious but they are hard to turn down with flavors that stray from the tradition. In addition Gluten Free varieties are available as well. Look out for Miss Peabody's coming soon to a new Herbal Honey gift box!
