Growing up, I thought it was the most inconvenient thing in the world when my mom would spend hours in holistic stores, picking out vitamins for, well, who even knew what! As a kid, I just wanted to play and have fun, not be dragged around from aisle to aisle in places I didn’t understand. But now, looking back, I’m so thankful for that. It’s my mom who unknowingly set me on the right path — teaching me the importance of self-care and how to honor the one body God gave me.

It wasn’t until college that I started to embrace the things she’d always talked about. Organic foods, essential oils, and using everyday household items to keep my skin hydrated. In my 20s, I dove deep into researching carrier oils and essential oils, learning how they could heal and nourish in ways I never imagined. I became obsessed with understanding what worked and why. That curiosity didn’t fade; it only grew stronger. Even now, I still formulate my own blends and use them on myself and my children, keeping that passion for creating alive every single day.

But this journey? It’s not just about skin or self-care; it’s about a deeper connection. It’s about getting back to the basics of what makes us feel good, both inside and out. It’s a lifestyle that’s a little different from the mainstream, a little more mindful, and way more personal.

This is how Uncommonly Gorgeous was born — out of years of searching, learning, and experimenting. But it’s not just about me. It’s about you. You, who are craving something real, something that resonates, something that makes you feel uncommonly gorgeous, too.

Because here’s the thing: when you finally listen to the whispers, the signs, and the little moments of clarity, everything falls into place. And trust me, you don’t want to miss what’s coming next.

Are you ready to glow with me?

For years, I focused on climbing the corporate ladder, too comfortable with the paycheck and too afraid to chase my own dreams. But the signs couldn’t be ignored any longer. After 12 years in software sales, life changes, and a deep desire to do something for me, I finally took the leap. Uncommonly Gorgeous was born from the need to grow, to help others glow, and to build something truly authentic. This is just the beginning.
