We kickoff the series with stories about our first encounters with oil-based cosmetics and why they were a great fit for our dry and sensitive skin. Judith wasn't looking for product solutions in 2012 when she first started using oil-based moisturizers, but what she found changed the way she looked at her skin and her skincare routine. I (Justin), definitely wasn't looking for a solution for my winter itch, and had to overcome a little skepticism when Judith first tried to convert me. In the end, we were both glad that we picked up oil-based cosmetics, and dropped the plastic bottle in the process!

Hey guys, we have been working on this idea for a few months, so it feels great to be publishing our first episode!

Background (Our Why);

In early 2020, we had to close our boutique and shift to e-commerce. We knew it would be challenging, but we had no idea how much we would miss getting to talk with our community each day.

We loved those conversations...the pace...the topics...the product ideas...and that feeling of connection with the community we serve. It was intimate...and comfortable.

So we are setting down our soapbox once a week to recreate that connection through podcasting! We are new to podcasting and to our page on Anchor.fm (or whichever platform you listen on), so you will get to help us build this arm of our work from the ground up.

Introducing The Series;

We will share in the same conversation topics as we did in our boutiques; pairing our products with different skin needs, telling personal stories, answering your questions, and discussing different tools and practices that have helped us thrive during and after mental health challenges.
