I possess a strong passion for natural skincare as I know all too well how it is to suffer with low self esteem from having unhealthy skin. I also know all too well how synthetic skincare products are irritable to the skin. My skin used to be a horrible mess layered with repulsive acne, whiteheads, acne scars, and premature wrinkles sneakily creeping in. Irnalso had horrible sun damaged skin (from excessive overexposure from playing tennis). I developed rhytiphobia (fear of getting wrinkles) and gerontophobia (fear of getting older) around the tender age of 19 as Irnsaw how horrible and matured my skin looked. My self esteem was sornlow.

I was obsessed with skincare. I would read every anti aging book orrnarticle there was and spent thousands of dollars on fluff products, books, and visiting dermatologists. I was for sure the day I bought these products or prescribed medications, my skin problems would cease. But, they never did… I was a slave to the marketing, the big brand names, you name it. But, my reality check came when I looked at the total charges on a bill that I racked up. It finally dawned on me that these products (or the dermatologists) did not help me. I lost all hope and felt like I wasted my time trying to heal my skin...It wasn't until a small incident that happened while I was studying for a test inrncollege that I knew I had to tackle this problem or it would haunt mernforever.

I experimented and researched over the years and tested my program. I've had the most success with this way ofrnlife than with any commercial product or prescribed medication. One ofrnthe best decisions I made in my life was when I became a vegetarian many years ago; I have never felt or looked better. My phobias nornlonger exist because I finally found a comfortable way of life and Irnhave learned not to compare myself to my peers. Aging is a wonderful experience with many rewards.

Aside from my business ventures, I am working towards completing my degree inrnchemistry. I also play the violin. My favorite composers are Vivaldi and Brahms. My favorite piece is "Meditation from Thais." Though Irnadore the violin, I think the viola is the most underrated string instrument by far. It possesses warmth of sound that can't be mimickedrn(and many even agree that it's trickier to play than the violin).
