Meeting with people around the World, discovering other cultures and lifestyles, traveling the planet for sourcing the purest ingredients for our easy to make DIY cosmetics was fantastic.

I invite you to travel with me….and discover some shots…and videos…of nice places, beautiful people, incredible botanical ingredients used around the World by women…for their beauty….and wellbeing!!!

During this amazing traveling/sourcing adventure, I spent 4 months in Vanuatu Island for sourcing some essential oils  and carier oils as ingredients for Wholistic Aroma. During that time I was living on a small charming house in front of the lagoon. Oh, by the way, some windows…had no windows…but rather wood shutters…which was perfectly great for tropical weather, except for the fact that I am suffering from an “invisible handicap”, a trigeminal neuropathy, therefore my face is extremely sensitive to wind…blowing in my house…

I also had to cross a shanty town to reach my house, and was amazed how kind people were, always waving and smiling. I witnessed what we would call poverty…still…the place was magical…and it was so relaxing to hear the chants from across the lagoon, almost like gospel songs, some evening…wow, what an experience.

I came back with stunning botanical ingredients to launch my boutique online, where you will find all your DIY cosmetic ingredients and equipment in one place…please visit and preorder here
