I am sitting here reflecting, as this year is close to ending. I am thankful that my family, friends and loved ones are well. I am most thankful that great things continued to blossom in the midst of a pandemic. Pre COVID, I worked as a Payroll Specialist for a corporation. I struggled on the inside, as I longed for more. Once COVID hit, the company sent us all home with laptops and office equipment to work remote. I had to find a hobby!! I am passionate about natural nutrition and wellness and thought, “there’s no better time than the present” to pursue an online holistic skincare course I had been wanting to take. That May, Hilling Essentials, LLC was born.

For years, I have been blending and making my own body butter. Shea butter works wonders for my sensitive, dry skin and I love the way it melts directly on contact!! My goal in taking this online class, was to learn how to enhance my body butter with natural additives for the skin. I fell in love with what I was learning!! I began ordering small quantities of different oils, molds and and other materials…the body butter could wait, I wanted to make soap!! Once I did, I was hooked and haven’t looked back!!!

Welcome to my website!! I am happy you found it, along with this blog post. I would love to bring you on this journey with me!! In closing, I want to give thanks for 2021!! It has been challenging but necessary and it’s almost in the rearview… I’m looking forward to 2022. Cheers to a new year filled with new-found love(s), lessons & self discovery; a new year of healing.
