Marcella always believed that there was a deep connection between the things we put in our body and the way we feel. For example, sometimes we use a product and our skin feels worse than before. We eat something and feel an upset stomach. We read an article (or watch the news), and feel stressed before even realizing it.
In January 2022, she and her husband began to develop allergic reactions with “factory-made” soaps. Marcella started wondering what was going on because she hadn’t changed the brand. After some reading and investigation, she realized that she could not control what those factories were using in their products. She also had no idea what all the ingredients were or even if they were necessary. 

In the beginning of June, 2022, Marcella started to develop some itchy red spots on her face, and, as a woman, it affected her self-esteem. Make-up was not hiding it- just making it worse. She started to make her own soaps and gave them to family and friends. After a few months of making cold process soaps, she began to receive good feedback from her family and friends regarding their skin and how enjoyable it was after they showered. Their allergic reactions stopped and they encouraged her to sell her products to more people.

One day, during her quiet time, she asked the Lord to show her how she could help others with her passion. During prayer one morning, this verse came to her, “Honor her for all that her hands have done,” (NIV). She thought she could use her hands (craft talents) combined with God's creation (the nature).
