Amanda was born and raised in the heart of Acadiana – Lafayette, Louisiana. After graduating from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette with a degree in product design, her focus soon moved to motherhood and raising her four beautiful children with the help of her husband. As a mother, she found a way to use her gifts as a maker - creating products that made sense for her family. After creating a deodorant balm as a holiday gift for friends and loved ones, she was encouraged to start marketing the balms to local stores and now the line has extended to special oil blends.
