🌸 About Carrie
Hi, I’m Carrie.
My path into handmade skincare and soulful self-care began when my son, who has Down syndrome, underwent heart surgery as a baby. In caring for him, I learned how easily we can forget to care for ourselves. Creating gentle, natural skincare became my quiet form of prayer — a way to pour peace back into my own heart.
Now, I guide women like you to rediscover that same grace — through faith, reflection, and the simple beauty of creating meaningful rituals for skin and soul.
