Hello! I wanted to share some of my favourite photos, ones when I was right at the point of choosing my path, my passion.
My love for essential oils - pure and natural. Not the perfume fragrance or synthetically made products- pure natural oils.
I used these oils for many years in my massage business, only using them for remedial purposes- muscle relaxation and healing, along with benefits of nurturing the mind and spirit. I was given an opportunity to start cleaning during school hours, which was a great supplement to my massage work which was primarily after hours and weekends. I quickly found I had a good eye for detail and a love for the physical work. My cleaning work quickly took over my time, and I decided to go full time with it.
I soon filled in my diary, and I was lucky to have two school mum friends, who were wanting some work and helped me keep up with the growing diary. One of the mums soon found out she was pregnant. At that time we were using chemical cleaners for all the jobs. She soon found out she had a sensitivity to one product in particular that would give her nose bleeds. I quickly stopped using the products and starting exploring new natural ways to clean.
Lets face it, water and vinegar may be a good option, but the smell is not the most desirable. I tried a few name brand products, but they just didn't give that professional sparkle and scent that I really wanted. I tried many options but it was my husband who gave me the best advice....it was right under my nose!
From my massage business, I had developed a collection of different essential oils. I had always used them for remedial and therapeutic reasons. I then started doing extra research on the cleaning properties and benefits they all offered. And then my journey began.
I spent 8 years, researching, perfecting the ratios, trialling and testing in hundreds of homes. The cleaners who cleaned beside me gave me help and advice to help perfect that formulas I have now. I created these products for cleaners to give that professional quality clean naturally.
But I have to admit the most rewarding part of everything is hearing the experiences when clients come home. The essences which the products radiate give a feeling being home. My products evolved over time and I never imagined I would get to this point of creating such an experience. I am lucky to have been invited to clean in hundreds of homes and work besides many many cleaners, who are as passionate as I am and who are continuing to use my products in their clients homes.
I am truly blessed. I am excited as I have many more ideas for more products. And I am even more excited to make some upcoming announcements of major life changes. Very soon I am going to change how I live and create my products in a way that is safer, more environmentally friendly and green. This is a real life changer for me and it all started here.
Happy cleaning everyone.
