This Mother’s Day we are thankful for all the support from the Moms in our lives. When you shop local you are supporting families that have taken the plunge into going into business together. From working a booth or storefront, to dealing with logistics and all the behind the scenes work, these Moms are doing it all. We are so grateful for all they do! The Shed and Market will be open Saturday and Sunday, so stop by for last-minute gifts, or let Mom shop for herself. From flowers, jewelry, wine, and desserts, over 100 small businesses will be at the DFM this weekend. There is something for every Mom!

 

YaaDaa Beauty Feature: 

YaaDaa is a 100% natural, handmade and organic beauty line, which has been in the making for 10 years. When I was in high school, I struggled with acne and eczema but nothing seemed to help. I tried every OTC cream ever made, I had been to the dermatologist, I tried Proactiv, and anything I could get my hands on but to no avail. 

My mom and I have extremely sensitive skin so we cannot use OTC products or any products that contain chemicals or fragrances. After trying a wide variety of products on the market, I started to research natural remedies that would help me with my eczema and acne. I ran into essential oils and I knew nothing about them but I figured it would be worth a shot – especially since nothing else had helped. I thought, “What do I have to lose?!” After extensive research, I bought a variety of oils that I believed would help with my skin conditions and this is where the heart of YaaDaa began! After years of continual research, I realized that essential oils are effective, natural cleansers, and work well with our bodies! Through learning the science behind essential oils and the many varying benefits of different oils, I no longer struggle with the skin conditions I once had. This drove me to help family members, starting with my aunt and mom. I figured, if I can help myself with sensitive and problematic skin, as well as my family, why can’t I help the rest of the world? At this point, I started pondering the possibilities. 

My mom is an integral part of this company. She became interested because she was helping me study for a cell biology exam and I mentioned the word “antioxidants” during my study session. She asked, what EXACTLY does that mean, so I proceeded to explain it to her. She now tells me that that one word changed her whole life – antioxidants. From that point on, she began to study science and essential oils and is now pursuing her Master of Science in Aromatherapy and Integrated Health Science. Her knowledge behind the product helps not only to educate people, including me, the founder, but it brings certifiable credibility to YaaDaa! She has become an intricate part of the business. We have become an amazing dynamic duo! Where I am introverted, she is extroverted. When I am ready to level out, she is ready to go at it again. It is our compatibility that keeps me on my toes and moving! People often think we are sisters, and of course, she says it is due to the Anti-Aging Serum!
