I've been making soap and other skin care products for about fifteen years. I love to create new formulations and often find myself wondering how a certain ingredient would effect a particular formulation. I've sold product to the public at different times during that fifteen years, first under the name Herbal Retrea and later SkinTastic Creations, but what I really love it the process of creating. I don't necassarily want to be tied to a product line where I'm expected to produce the same thing over and over. I enjoy teaching other people and just being able to create and learn.

I'm also passionate about writing and have had many people ask that I write a book. So I've combined my passions, using this site to begin creating a place where people can come to learn about what I have been learning and teaching for the past fifteen years. I will also keep working on my books which will include recipes I've formulated over the years.
