We had the good fortune of connecting with Stacie McKenzie and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Stacie, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?
By providing a variety of natural self-care products. Whenever possible, as a family, we try to remove the use of chemicals in our home & from our bodies so I decided that I could leverage essential oils to create “Spa-Like” products for men & women. Self-care is vital right now so our sugar scrub, body butter and lip balms were created to help you pamper yourself in between trips to the local salon or as a great alternative for the DIY group!
Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
This business was started in 2018 and the element that sets our products apart are that they are not filled with artificial colors and scents but are made with a fresh twist: real lemon zest, real aloe, fresh fruits for a tropical feel. I am most proud when I gain more male clients as they are developing their own self care routines. For many women, this comes naturally! Creating products that can appeal to a wide variety of consumers was a challenge – There was a lot of trial and error, but I learned to keep working on my product development until it was what just right.

I would like the world to know that we carry products for all members of the family: From the youngest to the most senior – Give us a try, you won’t be disappointed!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Visit: Bishop Arts District, Uptown, Deep Ellum, JFK Museum, Ft. Worth Zoo, Downtown Grapevine

Eat: Take them on a tour of Texas BBQ restaurants from Ft. Worth to Grapevine.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My husband and daughter that have supported my vision from the beginning.
