I have been making handmade soaps since I was a toddler. I started making them with my mom as a child. When I got older, I ended up at Recovery Cafe, and I realized helping others gave me meaning in life and a sense of purpose. So, I started teaching soap-making classes at Recovery Cafe, a place that helps the unhoused and disabled, so that I could help people with their self-care and mental health by teaching them a coping method: making essential oil soaps that help them in a fun and relaxing way. I currently run a handmade soap and jewelry business called Aridon Shop with my best guy friend Donald.I now want to help and teach others to do the same thing in a fun, relaxing, informative, and happy way! Essential oils have hundreds of health benefits from natural plant essences, which I will teach, including both the safety procedures and health benefits, and how to make and shape the soaps in the class. It brings me great joy to help others and make others happy.
