Gratitude

I feel it important to express the fact that I am completely surrounded by the most talented and beautiful friends. I look around and know how blessed my life has been to be around such a caliber of personalities. My sincerest Gratitude goes to so many of these friends who lent their time and energy to my new website and being a part of my lip-balm brand. I will be featuring their talents on my blog periodically, so please be sure to check it out!

With my lip balm in full force, I am excited to create more flavors, and am currently testing colors for the Hiwa Lani (pronounced HEE WAH- LA-NEE) line. I am also mixing up some new Hunter flavors!
