Founder Story
Initially a mental health professional helping children, Shannon shifted her focus to staying home and raising a family (which eventually became 5 boys.) A true extrovert and always looking to take on new challenges, she launched a beauty blog in 2005 to give women (mainly moms) straightforward reviews when they are short on time or simply hiding in the bathroom for some sanity. She never imagined the game changer it would become.

After many personal struggles with domestic violence, miscarriage, divorce, and financial despair, she launched her beauty brand under the same name. Her goal is to uplift, encourage and give women strength. As beauty can be a transformative experience, she looks to translate that message through each product in her line.
