    Lily Lou’s Aromas: An Illuminating Entrepreneurial Journey

    Lily Lou’s Aromas: An Illuminating Entrepreneurial Journey

    Have you ever heard the expression “you can’t have the rainbow without the rain?” Today you’ll meet a very special guest and hear about how she has created her very own incredible rainbow! 
    At just 10 years old, Lily leads Lily Lou's Aroma's, a business dedicated to creating eco-friendly self-care products with delightful scents. From scented candles to wax melts, essential oils, and perfumes, each item is meticulously made with sustainable and cruelty-free ingredients, ensuring a delightful experience while honoring our planet.

    But Lily's vision extends beyond creating exceptional products. Inspired by her passion for giving back, Lily Lou's Aroma's actively supports various charities and advocates against bullying. This commitment to making a positive impact stems from Lily's upbringing and her unwavering dedication to creating a better world.

    Lily's journey began before the pandemic when she embarked on a homeschooling project that ignited her passion for crafting sustainable goods. Her love for experimentation and facing new challenges transformed a hobby into a thriving business, driven by her entrepreneurial spirit and desire to effect change. 
    Lily’s story is such an inspiring one, and if you have children, you should share this episode with them. Boys, girls, everyone needs to hear her message about bullying, and Lily is an example that it is never too young to start in business if your child has an entrepreneurial spirit as well. I’m so proud of what Lily has accomplished (so far!) and I cannot wait to see where she’s going next. To learn even more about Lily and her business, makes sure to visit her Instagram, @lilylousaromas. If you enjoyed this episode, let her know and tag me in too, @jillkalmaninteriors!

    Client Spotlight: How Lisa went from Overwhelmed to Overjoyed

    As the saying goes, the proof is in the pudding – and I’m serving you some pudding today! In this episode, you’ll meet my very special guest, Lisa, who happens to be one of my clients that used my digital design services (for all 9 rooms in her home)! 
    You’ll hear Lisa’s story of moving to the town that I live in with her family and how she had already hired a contractor who was doing work when she reached out to me for help. She reveals why she made the decision to hire me and all the reasons why this service worked so well for her. 
    Lisa was a joy to work with, and I’m excited to have her here to share her story and client experience with you, in her own words. So, if the traditional design services that are being offered don’t feel like a fit for your project, and you want a way to make the process a lot more efficient, easy, and fun, then my room service is for you too! 
    If there’s something Lisa shared today that resonated most with you, and that you can relate with? Do you have any questions about how I may be able to help you as well? If so, I want to hear about it! You can DM me on Instagram, @jillkalmaninteriors and I can’t wait to hear from you.
