Meet the Maker:Daisy from Natures Love Shop

Hi friends, How was your weekend? Ours was ok. Our youngest is still struggling through the cold that has gone through our family. We did have a fun time at an Apple Festival at a local farm. We got pumpkins and tons of apples. What fun things did you do? I would love to hear from you. Comment below or send me a message.

Being Monday, it is time for another Meet the Maker post in our series. Today's interview is with Daisy from Natures Love Shop.

So without further ado lets meet Daisy.

Hi, Daisy where are you from? I'm from Los Angeles, California.

Where do you live now? In the San Fernando Vallery, Los Angeles.
Cool.

How long have you been crafting? For about 3 years.

What drew you to create essential oils or what inspired you? What inspired me was trying to find a more natural and organic way of living for my family. That's great, I am glad you did that so that you can share with all of us.

Is there a story behind your shop name and if so what is it? Since we use essential oils and they come from nature, the perfect name to reflect that would be Natures Love Shop. This is great.

When did you start selling online? We opened shop in Nov of 2015.

And what drew you to sell online? Being able to stay at home with my kids and create things that I am passionate about. This is a great reason.

What hopes do you have for your business in the future? I'm hoping I can have some of my products in the stores! That would be amazing. This is a great goal I hope that works out for you.

What is your most favorite piece that you have made? Sleepy Time Blend! It's a blend that helps with sleep, one of our favorites in our home. Cool.

What is one thing you would love to share with others who are considering going into the handmade business? Its tough at first but the outcome is amazing. You get to meet a lot of cool people and other shops owners too. This is very true. Thanks for sharing Daisy.

Product Review: Doterra Essential Oils. Seller Esperanza Lacayo from Essentially Love it.

Hi, friends. How are you? How is your weekend going? I am really excited to start our new endeavor of product reviews. I hope to get into reviewing handcrafted products because you see so little of that. I want to help and promote the small shops and get them some more advertising. If you are a small shop and would like us to do a product review head over to our product review page and follow the directions.

Today, we are reviewing Doterra Essential Oils. I was given a sample of this product for my honest review. Esperanza sent me three different samples peppermint, melaleuca, and lavender. The samples arrived in an envelope with three little glass bottles. I first tried out the Lavender. I was having trouble sleeping so after reading the suggestions on what can be done with the oils, I decided to sprinkle some lavender on my pillow to aid in sleeping. It seemed to help me to settle down that night. I did wake with a stuffy nose. I am not sure if I am just having an allergic reaction to the oils or what ever is blooming outside.

Next, I tried out the Melaleuca while washing my hair. I didn't see much difference. You may have to try to use this several times to get a result. I hope to try it out again.

The last oil for me to try was the peppermint oil. This one I placed on the back of one of my clay necklace pendants because it was unglazed and porous their and would absorb the oil. I think that it cleared up my stuffy nose a bit. It smelled very nice around my neck. Made me think of candy canes and such.

I don't know how specifically Doterra manufactures their oils. I know some other companies have special manufacturing. My guess is I will use oils again. What company products I will use, I am unsure of at this point. Esperanza is very sweet. She would be a great advocate to work with and buy your oils from. Here is a small blurb from her web page.I was introduced to the world of essential oils and loved the high-level quality of the products and decided to become a Wellness Advocate to advocate for my own overall health and wellness and help others reach theirs as well.
