Scent of Change:
How Motherhood Transformed My Wellness Journey
How Motherhood Transformed My Wellness Journey
Over 20 years ago, I stopped wearing synthetic fragrance — but not by choice. My first child was born premature, and those fragile first days were spent in the NICU. The list of rules for visiting him was long, but one thing stood out — no synthetic fragrance. Perfume, cologne — even strong-smelling deodorant — could be harmful to those tiny, developing lungs. I remember standing outside those NICU doors, heart pounding, afraid that even the faintest scent might keep me from holding my baby.
In the blur of postpartum hormones and sleepless nights, I didn't question the rule. My only focus was doing whatever it took to be near him. But as the weeks passed, something shifted. Without synthetic fragrance in my daily routine, I began to notice how strong those scents really were. The first time I caught a whiff again, I sneezed. Then came the headaches, the itchy skin — things I’d always brushed off as allergies. Turns out, my body had been talking to me all along.
Switching to essential oils and clean alternatives opened up a whole new world — one that aligned with my heart for creating a healthy home. But if I'm being honest... I've missed having a luxurious, long-lasting perfume. That one little indulgence that makes you feel beautiful.
That's why I'm so excited to share Wyld Notes — a collection of gorgeous, clean fragrances that don't compromise your health. You can enjoy scents that are luxurious, long-lasting, and free from the toxins that never belonged on our bodies in the first place. This is the best of both worlds — beauty without sacrifice.
