What the hell is going on? Im about to send an email update, but I wanted to let y’all know here first.
This is the packing table currently. There are also 10 more orders on the floor and 10 more that I have to make things for.
The response to this sale was overwhelming! WONDERFUL, and overwhelming.
BUT rest assured this kind of backup won’t happen again. The shelves are getting stocked. I won’t be overselling and THEN making products after orders come in.
Have patience while I get EVERY order by tomorrow.
I also have a new helper, but she’s pregnant and about to give birth, so she’s got some time off currently! After that, she’s got a job where she can bring the baby! And yes, I’m excited to have a baby in the shop!
I love y’all and the support has been enriching my heart and showing me to NOT GIVE UP. You all helped me to get funds for ordering all the ingredients and materials I need to get set up so this delay doesn’t happen again. THANK YOU for all the work you did and the money you spent to keep this business alive.

I lived at the center of chaos when I got sober. I had made choices in life that completely isolated me. I hadn’t seen a friend in months. I had no family member close enough to fall into their arms without driving 3 hours or getting on a plane.

I HAD SET MYSELF UP FOR FAILURE.
I now see that as a divine choice.

We all “hit bottom” differently. I think a woman’s bottom is often more complicated to spot. We can be so skilled at maintaining certain things while we are dying inside. Only three people in my life knew what was really going on around me and they didn’t really know that alcohol was any part of it.

I didn’t get sober at the worst of my drinking. I wasn’t having whiskey or that handle of vodka alone in my car that I had often spent hours with in the years previous. I was on a diet of pure heartbreaking chaos mixed with a case of Truly or White Claw most nights. I was spending some nights trying to pass out outside in the corner of an acre by the fence. I wanted to die.

I had driven my life into a ditch and made sure no one was there to help me. All I had to reach for was an idea of a god that I had spent years being angry with. I cried myself to sleep often mumbling “God, please help me,” and rocking myself back and forth on the hard ground with “it’s gonna be ok.” I did not think it was going to be ok.

Today is my 300th day sober. 299 days ago I reached out for help. I walked into a support group meeting and I met many women who had been in my shoes. 300 days ago I made a decision to take life on with clear eyes and an open heart. 300 days ago I was broken to completion. I had no way or strength to get my vehicle out of that ditch. No amount of pretending or faking it till I made it would have lifted that car back onto the road. It was clear to me, finally.

The difference in my life from then to today is miraculous. Life is not just worth living, it worth appreciating. I wake in the morning with prayers of gratitude on my heart and a sense of wonder.

I’m grateful that my god didn’t answer my prayers for death that I asked for so many times. I’m grateful to be here.

On this ride through life, I have been labeled a lot of things. A “cryer” is certainly one of them. “Too much” is another one!
A wise person finally told me that “Feelings aren’t reality, they will pass.”

In my younger years, I definitely thought they were EVERYTHING. They drove the car. I mislabeled them as passion, intuition, and lessons. They can be all of those things, but now I know they are often not.

I sit with them. I let them wave through me. I spend time just allowing them without analyzing them, as best as I can. I don’t respond to them or act on them right away. They are, in fact, like children. They are here to teach me and give me messages. But the first thoughts inside of my feelings are not often the most important ones.

Obsession often leads to compulsion and I choose to not live a compulsive life.
Is it ok to be spontaneous? Yes. But spontaneity and compulsion are two different things.

One is fun and spirit-filled and the other is driven by a need to be comforted right away. Compulsion is to reach for, too often, something not good for me.

Compulsion is driven by a feeling of discomfort, which is just a temporary feeling. If it becomes pervasive, I need to pray more to my higher power and ask what the source is. The source is usually from my own mind and the wrong thinking that I have any control of the world around me.

NOTHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU because you allowed someone to misunderstand you. Reread that.
I just learned this at 49 years old this week. Finally.

NOTHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU because a person thinks misguided or bad things about you. It’s not your job to correct them. GASP.

I will no longer explain myself out of FEAR. I will explain myself if someone who wants to hear me ASKS.
I have to work hard to not explain out of fear, but now that I am choosing to not do it, I am seeing how the other half lives and how I could have been living my whole life. It ain’t bad out here, y’all.

Happy New Year’s Eve!!
I just spent 20 minutes on my knees sobbing to god that I just can’t BELIEVE how much my life has changed in one year?!
Like wow.
Y’all. This is so incredible.

All I can pray is that I can touch someone else’s life as often as possible so they have hope. There is no way I could have done all this. I have so much gratitude I could fill an ocean.

I had the SH*TIEST day on this day last year. If you had told me all this would come to pass I would have punched you for messing with my head and heart.
I wanted to die on this day one year ago. And now i give thanks for every day that i am here and hope that i can have time to return this love and pay it forward for as long as possible.

Lay your troubles at the feet of the god of your understanding and wonder at the water that flows, freezes, falls from the sky, gets lifted into branches of the trees, evaporates from the snow on the sunny mountain tops.... our cycles are beautiful in EVERY form and moment. You are beautiful in all of them.

May we move through this year with a sense of glorious wonder. May we tickle someone else’s heart with the love we’ve been shown. May we lift someone else up or allow someone to lift us up.

There are people that love you, no matter who you are. The people who are mad at you love you. The people who are frustrated with you love you. The people who you have failed love you.

May you find softness in your heart for yourself and allow the love of whatever created you hold you tenderly.

Each moment is and can be a moment of new beginnings.

I now understand “I came. I came to. I came to believe.”

A sober me. Vulnerability is the best policy. I’ve been racked with fear about all the newfangled things the marketing experts say I *should* be doing. Screw it. This is what I know and this is what I’m sticking to.

Our Story

Brazen Bee is a small women owned business located in Manitou Springs, Colorado. We manufacture our skincare products in our Colorado shop. Our focus is customized whole-plant, chemical-free formulations. We don’t believe in a “one size fits all” skincare solution. We have facewash/masks, oil-cleanser blends, clay masks, and body-scrubs that can be fully customized for each individual. We let clients dip into our extensive cabinet of herbs, clays, pure-oils and essential oils to add to these base products for a customized product. We encourage and schedule free consultations to guide clients to which customization add-ins will address specific skin concerns.

Because we are completely chemical free, many of our products do not have water in their formulations. Once water is introduced other preservatives and stabilizers must also be used. Our moisturizers and body/hair butters are water free concentrates. This also means a little goes a long way so they last and last. Our herbal facewash/masks are powdered. You control the amount of water added to create a paste to cleanse or a thicker consistency for occasional exfoliation. You are also encouraged to add other pure-oils to the mix for an amazing mask.

As an organization we foster a welcoming environment for our employees. We believe in the kind of flexibility that lets a person deal with the things life throws at you without having to add extra stress. Our employees are family. We believe in being in a state of constant improvement. Employee development, training and advancement are important to us. We are currently working on expansion in several areas. Our core values and culture will continue to be our driving force as we expand and our team grows.

We hope you will give us a try and join us as a partner on our journey! www.BrazenBeeBeauty.com
