This blog was started September 2006 after I closed my online natural body care store. During the move from Hawaii to San Diego, I considered many options: continue doing childbirth education and doula work, start a freelance writing career or teach some classes. So while trying to figure it all out, The Organic Beauty Expert was born.

I never intended this blog to continue, but so glad it has. I named it The Organic Beauty Expert because I worked in PR and thought it was a catchy name that people could remember. The blog has grown as I have grown and have learned more about the beauty industry. I have taught classes on making natural products and aromatherapy at The Learning Annex and The University of Hawaii, and for many corporate groups.

Aside from blogging and some freelance writing, I have a massage therapy practice on Coronado.

I'm a military vet, wife and mother to two great kids. I do some freelance writing and am very active in the LGBT community, as well as volunteering with anything to do with breast cancer, AIDS/HIV and women's issues.

This blog doesn't push rhetoric and you won't find the same ol' "we must protect the earth" mantra. I try to use as many natural based products as possible, but when it comes down to it, efficacy is the word of the day. And if you can't respect or understand that honesty, this ain't the blog for ya!
