My mother is a natural beauty who likes to keep things simple. Her love of Ayurvedic massages with warm coconut oil for skin inspired me to turn to that when my infant daughter had eczema, which led to the launch of Bubbsi, my coconut oil-based skin-care line for children. Through all the ups and downs I've faced starting a business and being a mom, my mother has been a source of honest feedback, unquestioning support, and pure optimism.
