What inspired you to start your entrepreneurial journey?

My daughter Samara has always been, and will always be, my muse. Before becoming a mom, I had a passion for creating — I made my own hair and body care products as a form of self-care and creative expression. As life evolved — motherhood, caring for aging parents, and juggling all the responsibilities in between — I had to put those passions on pause.

Over the years, I’d still whip up a body butter here or there, and Samara always preferred them to anything we could buy in stores. During the lockdown, with more time at home and a desire to reconnect with what brings me joy, I decided to revisit that creative part of myself — and to bring Samara along for the ride. We started making soaps, blending oils, and even naming her creations. She called them “Samara’s Scents,” and just like that, the name stuck and the seed for our business was planted.
