1. Tell us about yourself - how & why did you start Alchemy Body & Beauty/how long have you been in business?

I am a mother of 2, a Medical Laboratory Technologist in Microbiology and I have a degree in Pharmacology. My hobbies include golfing, cross-stitching, baking and reading about physics and the universe. Having 2 children makes me want to have safe products in my home that I feel comfortable putting on their skin.  
I love to play around with my recipes and ingredients, it combines my love of science and baking.  I also have extremely dry skin and have a hard time finding products I like.  I have been in business a year and half and have been playing around with lotions, scrubs and balms for about 4 years.

1b. Describe yourself in one word!

Positive

2. As an entrepreneur, I'm sure that there are bumps and hiccups along the road. What keeps you going? What have been some highlights of doing what you do?
I am still pretty new to the business game so things have been a slow progression so far.  The highlight of what I do is having people tell you that your products are great and they enjoy using them.

3.  Can Alchemy Body & Beauty's products be used by individuals with perfume allergies?

Anyone can use the products scented with essential oils if those don't bother them.  I also always keep some unscented product in stock or can custom make for people.  All the products are manufactured by myself so I know all of the ingredients and can certainly make adjustments for individuals :) 

4. What kind of products would I find in your home (ingredients etc)?

In my home, you will find many oils and butters that I use in my lotions.  I really have been focusing on using natural, sustainable ingredients for my lotions.  I also have lip balm, soap and lotions scattered about the house for convenient use.

5. Does Alchemy Body & Beauty have any plans for the new year (changes, additions etc)?

In the new year, I will be working on more "man" products as I find there seems to be more demand for it.  As of now, I only carry a beard balm for the gentlemen and would like to have more lotion and skin care products for the guys.

6. Where can our readers find you (around the city/online)?

I usually attend smaller scale, hand-crafted markets and can be found online at Alchemybody.ca.  I'm also on Facebook and Instagram.

Jennifer at Alchemy Body & Beauty has generously donated a gift to the Small Wonders holiday gift bags for each lady.
One lucky winner also received a mango papaya lotion bar.
Thank you for your time and donations Jen. I can't wait to try more of your products.

Gift-Giving Event- Week 2: GoGo Quinoa Gift basket

Have you ever tried something that was so good that you had to tell someone about it? Well, that's what happened when I discovered GoGo Quinoa in a local store. After I tried this amazing brand, I actually contacted the owners and told them how much I loved it.  I had no idea that months later I would consider their products a staple in my kitchen and dayhome.  

Anyone who eats vegan, gluten-free, knows how expensive, and confusing it can get. The mission of the GoGo Quinoa company is to contribute to the nutritional well-being of all by offering nutritious, innovative and flavorful products, ethically and responsibly.  

When it comes to food allergies and intolerance, GoGo Quinoa has got you (and your family) covered. Prepared in Quebec, I am amazed at the variety and nutritional goodness of the GoGo Quinoa products that I have tried. This, dear friends is a one-stop shop for all things healthy and hearty.

This holiday season, Go Go Quinoa is generously offering 7 items from their store, to ONE lucky Small Wonders family.

I had a great time making up this "yumalicious" (our very own dayhome word :)) package of goodies for you! One lucky family will get a colorful assortment of products (quinoa, cereal, pastas, breakfast & snacking goodness). I am sure you will enjoy it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

To enter this week's giveaway, go over to the GoGo Quinoa website and tell me which 2 items you would love to have in your kitchen...leave a comment here (under the post title).
Comments will close at 12 am Mountain time on Sunday November 27th.
Winner will be chosen by Random Number Generator and announced on December 23rd, at the holiday event.

If you simply cannot wait until December, then you can purchase GoGo Quinoa products online. Right now (through the end of November) GoGo Quinoa is offering 20% off selected baking and breakfast items in their e-store.   
This gluten free gingerbread cookies recipe would be great for the holidays.

Disclosure: I contacted GoGo Quinoa because I love and use their products. All opinions are my own.

**Shannon has received an extra 5 bonus entry points from last week's draw. Good luck to all**
