Body butters, oils, candles, sugar scrubs...baby, you can have whatever you like! Nicholette Taylor first founded ALU ESSENTIALS (based in Stratford, Connecticut) to help relieve her daughter’s eczema. When she realized how effective her products were, Nicholette decided to keep on growing in her creative field, and viola: ALU ESSENTIALS now provide several lovely products to treat your skin right (and your soul even better). To live her life well, Nicholette values decluttering her mind, body, and soul. She encourages her followers to do so as well by taking the time to decide what self-care and wellness looks like to you. It’s personal, it’s beautiful, and it’s absolutely necessary! By providing her line of essential self-care products, Nicholette hopes to enlighten everyone on their own respective self-care journeys. Thank you for sharing your creativity, Nicholette! We’re honored to introduce you to Nicholette, Queen of Essentials!
What inspired you to start your business? What motivates you to keep going?: My inspiration came from wanting to heal my daughter's eczema. Once I saw that my products were effective, I then became inspired to create eco friendly, affordable & organic skin care products to a wide variety of people. My candles are sourced with vegan soy wax because I believe it’s extremely important for people to inhale candles that are safe for their health, while enjoying luscious, and environmental fragrances. My husband and children keep me motivated to keep going.
How do you create the life you want?:
I’m intentional about following what God wants for my life. I
seek him first, and when he gives me the green light, I run full throttle towards the goal.
What makes you HUMAN?: What makes me human is that I am empathetic, sympathetic, and I’m not afraid to take a moment and cry my eyes out when I feel overwhelmed. I also see the need of others, and never hesitate to lend a helping hand.
What's three things you want us to know about self-love/wellness?:
Self-love and Wellness is what you decide it should be.
It’s knowing your worth, and never settling for less. It’s knowing that when you need a break, you take that break, and do it unapologetically. Self-love is appreciating every flaw, and insecurity, and knowing that you’re fearfully and wonderfully made.
What's something we can incorporate today to LIVE LIFE WELL?::
I think it’s extremely important for us to declutter our minds, soul and bodies in order to live well. Get rid of all the junk that holds us back, and distracts us. To live well we have to be free, and carrying around a bunch of junk just weighs us down.
