Everyone has a story.
Some are more interesting then others.
I can’t say that mine is interesting but it has been full of twists! I used to be a Project Manager in
construction. I spent lots of time on
construction sites arguing with boys.
Yes, I said boys because if you have ever spent a long period of time on
a construction site then you know they are boys. Full of pranks and silliness. Our economy took such a hit that so many of
us were left looking for different jobs and careers. Coupled with that and health reasons I took
some time off to be with my family. Just
so you know when you cut your income in half things change a little. So, I was on a mission to do things better
and cheaper for my family. I started
making laundry soap. Yes, I said laundry
soap. It may sound silly but it sure
helped with allergies and it was a cheaper alternative. I was so excited I couldn’t stop bragging
about it. As you can guess, not everyone
was as excited about laundry soap as I was.
Next came personal care products.
No more expensive creams, scrubs, etc. I started making them all and trying to find
better ways. The deeper I got the more I
loved the challenge and satisfaction.
Then the fateful day came that my husband always tells everyone
about. The day he came home from work
and I sat him down to let him know I would not be returning to the
workforce. The good man that he is, took
a deep breath after his heart began to beat again, and said ok. As I continued making more products the
interest peaked in my family and friends.
Thanks mostly to a very supportive sister that would kick me in the
pants anytime I tried to back out. Before
I knew it Enchanting Origins was born. I
know it all sounds glamorous but I am here to tell you it was more hard work
and chaos than glamor. There are days I
left the kitchen looking like I was rolled around in powder and splashed with
oil. Lots of oil. I looked like bride of Frankenstein on a good
day. If only the guys from the site
could see me now? They would have a
field day.
