Mariama Bah is Guinean-American and a self-care enthusiast! She was born in Washington, DC, spent her teenage years in Maryland, and is a proud Morgan State University graduate. While on a staycation in the mountains of Virginia, she was inspired to create a candle and lifestyle brand that is dedicated to self-care routines. While on her own self-awareness journey, she wanted to create a brand that could help others formulate routines as they seek to connect with self. As someone who has always loved mixing different fragrances, scents, and perfumes this was a natural next step for her.
