WHAT IS ALINATURAL

Started using this for myself over 3 yrs ago, compliments on my skin led to me giving away the product to close friends and family, I then decided to sell the body butter when people offered to pay. It wasn’t in my nature to sell it’s always been in my nature to give but being a single mom a little extra money never hurt.

It was hard to dedicate the effort and time it deserved because being a single mom had to work 1-2 jobs, take care of my daughter and drive her around to basketball games since she is an athlete and is doing well at a sport she loves. 

I believe in it so much. Something bigger makes me feel like it is enchanting. And like through the process when I make it yo me monto lol I pray, meditate, and enjoy the process I feel like everyone that puts it on is blessed with love and positive energy. In my mind I’m hoping it heals any pain or hurt the customer could be having.

I make it in baño de Maria lol, It's a long process but I enjoy it. My mother, another single momma who is super strong and liberal to be a Dominicana, always encouraged natural beauty. So before it was the “in” thing we were using our own home made solutions for beauty dilemmas. I was never allowed to even use chemicals in my hair, hence why I still have lustrous long hair (so a latinx thing).

Our people all have a lil witch doctor in them lol and it was always instilled in me that yes there’s beauty in anything but nothing like natural beauty.  Back then my mom knew chemicals were no good, even curling my hair with sugar water, using nature’s gifts as a solution. Like if my hair was dry it was never an option first to look for over the counter it was always the first instinct to get something from our kitchen águate, miel, sabila, and the list goes on. Since natural beauty was all I knew It led to all the knowledge I have about herbs and oils that will help with anything beauty related. We always knew that chemicals were no good for you. 

I do everything myself, even recycling the boxes I get by cutting (with horrible scissors, gosh I need to get a new one now that I’m writing it hah) myself to put in the bags to hold up plants nicely.

When I deal with plants I feel like como que me monto in a good way. Have to think of the word hah. I even drink them,it's funny because I go hours without eating while I’m gardening . And drinking my smoothies feel like an  homage to my plants because of what they do for me. Euphoric energy idk a wonderful feeling

  I’m all about loving yourself and caring about what you put in and out of your body. This is something that whoever knows me, knows I stand by. I’ve been having my smoothies daily for years. It’s actually a ritual for me. I take everything healthy I have, and blend away. I then pray that what I’m drinking will heal and protect my anatomy. My smoothies have nothing but wholesome and nutritious fruits, herbs, and veggies. Most of them organic, some ingredients even grown by me. Now I’m offering to you my human family,  and I ask that you join me in this custom🌿💚 

Just like my skincare products this is all natural. This actually ties in with my skincare routine. I'm a believer that it’s essential to my well being. I see how it benefits me. It helps my skin, hair, and. I swear that it gives me energy and creates a happy state of mind. But most of it is crucial to my immune system. Which in this time is useful for us all!  

Ask me about them and I’ll be happy to provide all the information you need.

Sincerely,
