People often ask why I named my company Cecile's. The name itself means "blind of self beauty" and belonged to several women in my family, most recently my great aunt Cecile. . Tante Cecile was famous for her love of the exquisite - Her home, clothes and the meals she made. And she was known for her shrewd assessment on quality. Tante Cecile was the Queen of the #SideEye If something didn't make the cut, she didn't have to say a single word. Knowing she would be coming over sent us girls into a tizzy... smoothing hair, inspecting clothes and practicing our French pronunciation 😂😂 Later in life, we would spend entire Saturdays taking her to one grocery store after another as she checked off each item on her rather long + complex list. Only the best would do! . . Her standard of excellence became the benchmark to meet in life and no matter how impossible, you strived for it - and basked in that rare compliment like a cat in a patch of sun on the coldest winter day. When I got word that she loved that first box of soaps and cremes I sent, I knew that I had arrived. As I look back at the time she spent forcing me to fix my clothes + mind my manners + stop running everywhere, I now know she was training me for this very day. Tante Cecile is gone now but her lessons live on in the smallest details of Cecile's products - tiny paper pleats, subtle pinstriped boxes, slender satin ribbons and smooth, silken skin. . . Over six years, it took about 2 years to perfect our recipes and countless hours since on workshops, coaching and classes on product formulations, herbs + essential oils + ingredient interactions, technique, operations, FDA regulations, strategy and most importantly, mindset. . . So THANK YOU to all the mentors and teachers I've had since then who have guided me on this journey - and who continue to inspire me today!!

Today's situation: Hot bath, cold medicine and plenty of #selfcare because this chest cold is kicking my butt!! Whenever I'm not feeling well my first instinct is to #Detox with a nice hot #Epsomsalt bath + organic essential oils and then #replenish my body with vitamins from healthy foods like #soup, #nuts, dried fruit and #probiotics. . . Of course my next instinct is to #luxuriate 😂 Sick or not, I'm going to enjoy my #tubtime whenever I get the chance 🛁 This is my standard bathing ritual with the addition of #eucalyptus essential oil to help my breathing. 💥 Generous scoops of the Promise bathing blend with #himalayanspinksalt sporting 84 trace minerals - (usual soak time is about 30 -45 minutes) 💥These super duper exfoliation gloves I picked up on a whim at the local dollar store... I really love them 😍 #truestory I do a double scrub where I soak, #scrub + rinse. Then scrub again as the tub drains followed by a cool rinse. 💥 Detoxifying Charcoal Soap to deeply cleanse my skin and leave it bright + breathable 💥 Adzuki Facial Grains for my face + neck, since my pores are already nicely opened the #moroccanredclay and #fullersearth get to work on deep detox and toning 💥 Finally I spritz with the Cucumber Rose Toner to balance and nourish my skin, providing light moisture and all of benefits of organic hydrosols 😍 So while I still feel kinda crappy, my cough has lessened by about 90% and my nose started running 😌 both good signs is you ask me! And my skin looks pretty awesome right now LOLOL That's a #WinWinin my book 👍 I'll be back in no time! So, how do you self care when you're not feeling well? Leave comments 👇👇👇 Stay warm friends! 💋
Happy #SundayFunday folks ... It has been a packed week of self improvement in this #YearOfYes and today was the best so far 😍 So many of you have suggested I sell candles to complement their favorite fragrance... We made both #Soy and #Massage candles with Shea Butter 🙌🙌 woot woot! #LetTheGamesBegin . . Many thanks to @artisane.nyc for the expert instruction on making my very first candle!! . . #madebyhandwithcare #Ceciles #LiveCleaner #DailyDetox #sheabutter #Happy
