My whole 💞 🥹 right now!

It has been super easy to love and let @kat_engel in my life before even deciding to move to Long Beach, 2 years ago. Her fun and intentional shop @makecollectives in downtown Long Beach was the first small biz I spend my dollars at as a vistor and eventually had my first ever @soulcarealchemy event as a resident, when I rebirth from sabbatical in early 2025. Kat has always created an environment for me that was welcoming with good hip hop music, aroma that have you leaving her shop smelling great and feeling inspired and just all things creativity. What’s real about my experience is that she creates this resonates for everyone who stops by and shops there. I even helped out at the shop on the weekends for a short period of time and it was straight out of a Hallmark movie but with a positive ongoing ending lol. I needed that, sis!

I love her, her shop and her family so much that we became friends.

Thank you for supporting Soul Affirmations Deck, sharing me and my work with your amazing community, and speaking life into me from the very first moment we met back in March of 2024. Your genuine kindness, biz savvy advice and intentionality around curating beautiful experiences is soul medicine.

Long Beach, Save the date : Saturday, November 14th. Something special is coming together ✨🫶🏽

Our next release, Vanilla Bourbon Lip Balm!

It’s a natural fit. Our organic Vanilla Bourbon beard balm is our most popular scent, so why not make a lip balm? We use the same great, organic ingredients that helps to keep you beard and skin hydrated and healthy, but tweak the blend to hydrate and protect your lips.

It is subtle, starting with a caramel flavor before you get the bourbon and vanilla flavors in the end.

Available now on our website.
