Take the time to relax and pamper yourself by using aromatherapy.

Someone who knows how to create fragrant products that can be used to add peace to your life by helping you relax is Kia at Beacon Creations.

So let go of your computer mouse and take a moment to read this lovely interview…

1. What led you to open a shop for this type of product?

    Everyone in my family is an artist. I grew up surrounded by sewing, crocheting, drawing, photography, beading….the list goes on and on. Almost 4 years ago I decided to stop working to stay home and raise my 3 boys. I knew that I wanted to go into business for myself. A lifetime of creativity along with my obsession with Bath & Body made this most natural choice.


2. How long have you been in business?

    I’ve been mixing lotions and potions for my family and friends since I was a teenager. In school my nickname was “The Mad Scientist”! I decided to start a business selling my creations in the summer of 2008.

3. What makes your products special?

    I think what makes my products so special is that they’re handmade… by ME! Sometimes it’s still hard to believe that I get to spend so much time doing what I LOVE to do. I draw inspiration from everything around me: the smell of wet soil and rain, my favorite ice cream (Edy’s Mint Chocolate Chip, yummy) and even my favorite books.

    I enjoy taking care of my skin and body and try surrounding myself with things that invoke feelings of comfort and relaxation. To have the ability to create products that allows others to share a piece of what I love is priceless.

4. Where can we buy your products?

5. Tell us about you… hobbies, goals, dreams

    My name is Kia and I am married to my best friend. I have the privilege of being “Mommy” to 3 AWESOME boys: Nicholas (9), William (6) and Ian (3). I am a vegetarian so finding new recipes for meals is always an adventure. When I’m not creating I can be found with my nose buried deep in a book.

    My most immediate goal is to continue expanding and improving my product line and brand. Right now I’m preparing sugar scrubs, bath salts and body oils that launched this summer.

    My dreams for the future include a large piece of property, a couple of goats and chickens, fruit trees, LOTS of homegrown vegetables and countless days surrounded by my family.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful interview Kia! Isn’t she lovely? She has offered to giveaway any soap of choice to one of my readers.

Mmmmmmm….I can almost smell it…I think the Coconut Lemongrass looks beautiful?!!

But that isn’t all! I will also buy you any soap of your choice from Beacon Creations soaps as shown below.

Now can you smell them?!

Try the scratch and sniff method on your monitor.

Did scratching and sniffing your monitor to experience the fragrance of the soap work?

It didn’t for me either, so don’t feel bad. (snicker, snicker)

  22. I can just smell the aromas of each soap, so delicious. If I had to choose two of the above soaps I'd pick Sandalwood Vanilla and Oatmeal, Milk, and Honey. I couldn't just pick one.

  24. Kia, your shop is just beautiful. I love the lip balms you have, especially the coconut lemongrass lip balm. I'm always looking for a nice scented lip balm and this one just fits me.

  25. How wonderful, It's been a while since I tried a scented bath.

    You shouldn't suggest things to us while we're reading, we don't think about it – we just do it! It was funny in to realize I can't scratch my monitor in the middle of my reach. hehehehe.

    Hope your doing ok! XOXOXOXO

  32. Woohoo! Love these soaps. I want them, want them — all of them!

    I follow you through Google and I now bookmarked the soap esty shop. How can I get her to come to my blog with soaps? Lure: I have a lot of women followers since I write ROMANCE!

    Would love to host her.

    Oh, she has bath bombs and perfume oils on her site too. Love the oils.
