In life, we all face adversity. And with adversity comes a choice: accept it and surrender to it, or use it as fuel to become something greater.

My mission in life has always been to become something—and someone—better than I was before. Have I been perfect? Absolutely not. Have I always gotten it right? Not even close. But I can say that I’ve stayed true to myself, followed what makes me happy, and continued moving forward.

When I reach the end of my life, I want to be able to look back without regret and know that I gave it everything I had.

Perfumery has been one of the biggest chapters of that journey. What started from literally nothing—an idea, a passion, and a willingness to figure it out along the way—has grown into something I never could have imagined when I first started all those years ago.

I’m incredibly proud of how far it has come, what it has accomplished, and the people it has reached. And knowing there is still so much room to grow makes me even more excited for what comes next.

But I also know I couldn’t have done this entirely on my own. While so much of the work has been done by me, there have been many people along the way who have believed in me, supported me, encouraged me, and helped this dream become what it is today.

And the most important of them all is you.

Without every person who has bought a bottle, shared a post, recommended my work, taken a class, sent a kind message, or simply believed in what I’m doing, I wouldn’t be where I am today.

You’ve helped me turn a dream into my life.

So from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for your love, your support, and for giving me the opportunity to wake up every day and live a dream I once wasn’t sure was even possible.

And to anyone doubting what they can or can’t do, let this be proof that you are capable of far more than you might think.

You can build something from nothing.
You can turn an idea into something real.
You can completely change the direction of your life.

Is it easy? Hell no.

Is it worth it?

Hell yes.

Keep going.

Thank you Bay Area for shaping my early adult years.
Thank you to each and every person that has touched my life for a short time or a long time or even just one night or day, you added color to the portrait of my 20s.
Thank you to each and every one of my friends I've ever celebrated holidays and birthdays with, whether we're still close or not, you became my found family even if just for a day when blood family was too far away.
I love you my beautiful wonderful friends.
I love you my bright aquaintances.
I love you forever Bay Area from Sac to SF to Oakland to Alameda to San Bruno to Walnut Creek and all the places in between.
I've lived and loved and cried and laughed and broke and healed 100 times over all over the Bay and now I say thank you with a smile.
My next chapter takes me back to San Diego. Im excited to take all I've become back to the place where I started.
