I love bare feet, Dr. Bronner's, cotton skirts, summer rain, winter snow, new places, open-minded people, deep conversations.
I had a (short-lived) natural products company while I was in college: The Full Nelson Natural Products. I made and sold body and beauty products, herbal, all natural.
I can't buy something to put in my shower or on my face without reading the label. I also can't leave the house without wearing mascara.
When not selling body butter while in college, I read and wrote. I got a degree in English, and graduated Summa Cum Laude.
I've written professionally for the last three years, in between hanging out with my husband and playing with my babies (2 under 2). Life is full and fulfilling.
