    Send us Fan Mail

     

    Meet Susan Castriota, the inventor of the glass Cuchina Safe® Vented Glass Lid and Cover‘n Cook™ Glass Microwave Plate Cover, and hear her “lemons to lemon cake” story! The Cuchina Safe Lid and Cover ‘n Cook™ are the clean, safe, non-toxic alternative to harmful BPA and BPA-free plastic lids and wraps used in the microwave to cover and reheat food. They are the newest, eco-friendly, vented glass lid kitchen accessory for health conscious foodies, and make great splatter shields. Both innovative microwave cover designs allow for easy and fast steaming and cooking in the microwave and conventional ovens up to 450°. The vents make it ideal for steaming vegetables and rice, and for cooking meat, eggs and desserts. No more splatters to clean up! When steaming and reheating with our glass lids and microwave plate cover, you use the least amount of water to ensure the retention of the healthy properties during the cooking process and preserve those important nutrients. With BPA-free glass, there are no more worries about potentially harmful chemicals leaching into your food. Our clear glass cooking lids and glass plate cover won’t absorb odors and bacteria like plastic and silicone covers.

  • ILPS4e10- Bounce Curl Founder and Instagram Sensation MisMmo Discusses How She Created Bounce Curl And Her Continuous Success Using Social Media

    Send us Fan Mail

    The Bounce Curl Story
    I am the Creator/Formulator of Bounce Curl Products and I am more than excited to share my curl secrets with you!  My main goal is to empower all individuals to achieve their own dreams.  

    EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE
    I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree with a strong focus in Chemistry. My solid foundation and extensive experience in Chemistry were valuable tools as I began formulating the first innovative Bounce Curl products.  During those first four years of formulations with Bounce Curl, I also became a product formulator for over 5 different companies in the hair care, skincare, and body supplement industry.  But, it did not take long for me to realize that I needed to expand my Bounce Curl product line into shampoos and conditioners so that clients could be confident that their shampoo, conditioner, cleansing conditioner, and light creme gel would all work well together and give them amazing results! 

    So, in the fall of 2017, I was thrilled to present an entire Bounce Curl product line for men, women and youngsters with Wavy, Curly, or Kinky curls! 

    ON A PERSONAL NOTE
    I have had curly hair all my life and struggled for so many years trying to figure out how to properly style my curls. The list of products I’ve tried are endless. I became frustrated with all the unsuccessful results from the harsh products I was using, so I decided to do something about it! After spending 3-4 hours a day in chemistry class labs mixing acids, balancing acid/base equations, analyzing bacteria in microbiology, and reading IR spectrums - I helped create Bounce Curl and I have also created beauty products for other companies in this incredible industry. 

    My parents taught me from a young age to take great care of my hair. I have always had long, shiny and strong hair and I believe it is because I was raised to use only home-made, natural ingredients on my hair. My grandmother played an important role in developing my hair care routines and she has been my inspiration for Bounce Curl. She would mix up special formulas using only natural ingredients and she always used black seed oil.  Nigella Sativa (black seed oil) is one of the secret middle eastern oils and has been used by me and my family for many years.  My experience with natural ingredients date back to my childhood. I have fond memories of going to my backyard, scraping aloe vera out of the plant, boiling flax seeds and using them as hair gels. I love mixology and DIY (Do-It-Yourself) projects! 

    The Bounce Curl Tradition of Excellence
    At Bounce Curl, we are committed to creating products that do not use harsh chemicals. We carefully select natural ingredients that can style, moisturize and hold your beautiful curls. There are certain ingredients that the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) requires us to include in our products; preservatives are a good example of this because they work to keep the product stable and safe from growing any bacteria. FDA has strict rules and, as a responsible company, we follow the rules! 
    At Bounce Curl, we believe that Beauty is Shared. We realize that every individual is different and educate our customers on hair, skin & body care. We are HUGE FANS of mixology. You will want to check out our blog section

    About Donteacia

    Eight years ago I was laid off from my job.

    The country was in the middle of a recession, and the government wasn't hiring. 

      After 2 months of trying to get a job without any luck, I began to feel that I would never get one. So I did what most do in that situation, I started a business.   And I have to admit, I had the right contacts in place that for the first 5 or 6 months things went really well.
    ...and then the money dried up.    I didn't have a plan in place to get new business. Hell, I didn't know how to get new business.   In all honesty I didn't quite understand what it was I did exactly...and neither did anyone else.

    I created and organized events and raised money via sponsorship to pay for them.

    I would analyze the health of non-profits and small businesses and create strategic plans for them.

    I would do freelance work raising money for organizations.

    I built websites.   I was hired to do some political consulting on a few campaigns.   I updated resumes and built out LinkedIn pages.

    As you can see, I was all over the place. My single goal was to keep the lights on, and at times, even that was a struggle.

    ...but I survived, and sometimes even thrived.

    Fast forward to 2013 and I have this brilliant idea and decide I would create this awesome new product and launch it to the world.   After quite a few stumbles and some major successes, I was able to exit that company in the black.   I have gone on to coach hundreds of entrepreneurs, raise over $1M for their products and services, launch Founders Brunch, a bi-annual brunch where founders come from all over the country to fellowship around entrepreneurship, and become a start up mentor for the State of Florida.

     I've also launched a new program to help inventors build and launch their products. 

    ...and sometimes I write the occasional engaging article for The Huffington Post.   To find out more about what I do and to access some free resources, you can visit my website at www.donteaciaseymore.com    To schedule a call with a member of our team, go to www.lifebeforethetank.com/talk
