Shelley is also a mom to an amazing preteen named Cami. In 2014, when Cami was 5 years old, Shelley noticed that her daughter was having some problems with dry, itchy skin. It was then she made her first batch of homemade soap. Cami wanted it purple and chocolate scented. Shelley got the scent right, but the purple, well, not so much, LOL. The soap helped Cami’s skin! And Shelley was hooked ever since!
