AS A SINGLE, MIDDLE AGED WOMAN, WHOSE PROFESSION IS ADDICTION COUNSELING, (YEAH, I KNOW THAT SOUNDS LIKE A DATING AD) I REACHED A PLATEAU WHERE I ALLOWED MYSELF TO GAZE BACK AND MARVEL AT ALL I'VE ACCOMPLISHED IN LIFE. I RAISED A CURIOUS YOUNG SON INTO A COLLEGE-EDUCATED, WORLD-TRAVELED ENTREPRENEUR, AND ESTABLISHED A CAREER OF MY OWN THAT HAS STRETCHED OVER 30 GLORIOUS YEARS. I REALIZED, HOWEVER, THAT WITH ALL THE GREAT EFFORTS I HAVE PUT INTO MY CAREER, I STILL LONGED TO BE THE EXPRESSIVE, CREATIVE, CHILD I ONCE WAS. A CHILD WHO CREATED GAMES ON THE FLY, PAINTED WALLS, DESKS, AND SCHOOL DRESSES, AND MASTERED THE CULINARY ART OF MUD PIES AT THE TENDER AGE OF 6!
THE LONGING WAS JUST ENOUGH TO IGNITE A CREATIVE REVIVAL IN MY LIFE THAT SAW ME TACKLE INSECURITIES, OUTWIT PROCRASTINATION, AND KICK MY OWN BUTt TO NOT ONLY CREATE...BUT STAY MOTIVATED! I REACHED DEEP INSIDE AND TAPPED INTO WHAT ONCE MADE ME THE HAPPIEST; THE JOY TO CREATE. THE RESULTS WERE...CONNESSENCE WHIPPED SHEA BUTTER.
MY WHIPPED SHEA BUTTER WAS CREATED OUT OF NECESSITY AND FRUSTRATION WITH COMMERCIAL LOTIONS AND CREAMS. OVER THE YEARS MY SKIN BECAME MORE DRY AND ITCHY WITH USE OF THESE WATER-BASED PRODUCTS. NOTHING WORKED EXCEPT SHEA BUTTER! BUT SHEA CAN BE A LITTLE HARD TO WORK WITH, SO I ADDED OTHER NATURAL OILS AND MINERALS TO SOFTEN THE SHEA AND CREATE A NATURAL UV-PROTECTING CREAM THAT IS RICH IN VITAMINS AND DELIGHTFULLY SMOOTH ON THE SKIN.
