Hello World

I decided to start blogging for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, I like to share my view on the when, why, what, how and where in the world of hair, skin and more. Also, because I make all of my own skin, hair and baby products people ask me a lot of questions, and this is a way to share that information. Lastly, having a medical and chemistry background, I would like to clear up a few things about how and why things work like they do. Not to get on a soapbox, but it bothers me when the wrong information gets out there.

So a little bit more about myself:

I am a wife and the mother of two boys, Solomon age 3 and Miles age 1 month. I live and work in Philadelphia dealing with children of all ages. I started making my own hair products about 2 1/2 years ago after being disappointed with what I found on the store shelves. My hair stylist actually noticed the difference in my hair and loved it. I gave her a sample, she began using on her clients and thus Natural by Design Cosmetics was born. It is still more of a hobby as medicine is still my first love but I love being able to let my mind roam free and come up with products that work better than the store brands.

I take it seriously, and I am always trying to improve my products. So product testers are always welcome (rules do apply)

so if there is something you want me to explain or if you have an idea for an item you want me to explore let me know.
