Today we’d like to introduce you to Brittany Jackson.
Hi Brittany, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I lost my job a day after my birthday due to the COVID-19 shut-down that impacted the world. Everything happened so suddenly & I became depressed for several months. It was an excruciating time for me because I’ve been working since I was 16 years old & I didn’t know how to handle my sudden status of unemployment. I love to work and I forgot how creative I was, so I started to fill my days with creating a skincare routine.
I would get excited to use the product when I woke up in the morning and went to sleep at night. As I was creating these products, I realized my skin was responding to me in the best way possible. When I realized my products were actually changing my skin, I wanted to make it for my friends and family. It was to no surprise that they were extremely supportive and responsive. I believe it was important to share my creations especially during a time when health was on everyone’s mind. It was my goal to change lives for the better, so I started my company “Dream B Essential & Co.” in July 2020.
Every product is infused with top-grade therapeutic essential oils; there are no additives and the ingredients make you look and feel better in the long run. My products are great for men and women with sensitive skin because of the essential oils & natural ingredients. My customers can use the products with full confidence that their skin will not be irritated.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I remember when I first started the company I had two products; lavender lemon peel soap and a Zodiac line for sugar scrubs. I went through a list of issues I was having with my skin & created a product for each issue. I was fascinated with how many steps were involved with creating multiple products. Aside from the creativity; I had to learn about statistics, marketing, and the financial side of the business. I was so new to managing a business, it was a lot of trial and error until I could find the right flow and balance. Every business owner knows how essential time management is and I learned very quickly that I needed to incorporate that into my daily routine. My ultimate drive comes from my customers, they are what inspire me to use my passion and grind in my business. I call my customers” Essential Babes” and they push me to find more innovative ways to provide them with the ultimate Dream B Essential & Co. experience.
I find that when you are doing what you love; it’s very easy to make adjustments in your processes to make your job more efficient. I remind myself that I am a new entrepreneur and I don’t know all of the ins and outs so if there’s an issue with an order, I allow myself some grace. While operating my business, there have been some things that are outside of my control, but I’ve been able to correct issues swiftly and effectively. The number one thing that helps me with that is communication is key! It doesn’t matter if the information I have is negative or positive; I am always transparent with my customers, and they are really appreciative of that. People are more understanding than you think and you can’t lose when you show your customers genuine care & respect.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
When I’m creating for Dream B Essential & Co. I never just have a strict layout of what I should do I think about what’s on the market now how I would like to tweak it to make it better and I make it my own. I love creating I love that each item is unique due to them all being handmade by me.
Pouring all my love and joy into each product really shows and I love that! Everything has been planned out every detail from the packaging to what goes in the packaging to secure the products to what the box looks like on the outside to each every individual product I mean so much that goes into it and I just kind of go with what my soul tells me at that time.
I love that my essential babes have helped me broaden the scents of my products. I’m used to very floral scents and I’ve learned that not everyone likes what I like. People also love clean sense or vanilla scents or eucalyptus scents and it really just opens me up to what I can do with these products. I’m here to provide a luxurious experience to beauty bath and day to day natural remedies. So hearing there is a need for products outside of what I currently have I jump to the challenge and CREATE!
