The Birth of My Dream Business

I wanted to write a little bit about how FLAVIA SOAPS & MORE started, over the years I have had the pleasure to meet so many new people, some of you know and are familiar with the beginning of my business, some of you don’t know, so I wanted to write a little background on how and why I started my Business in 2001.

Having my daughter changed my world in ways I never anticipated. Before she came into my life, I was climbing the corporate ladder, working long hours, and envisioning a future that seemed set in stone. But everything shifted when I held her in my arms for the first time. The idea of putting her in daycare while I spent my days at a desk filled me with guilt and dread. It wasn’t just the emotional toll—it was also the staggering cost of childcare. I realized that I had to make a choice: continue in a career that left me unfulfilled and away from my daughter, or take a leap of faith into the unknown.
