Tell us a little about yourself!
My name is Nicole Davis, I am a 35 year old mother of 2. I am a licensed cosmetologist, seamstress, and I make bath and body products.
Have you always been Natural? If not, what prompted you to do so?
I have not always been natural I have experimented with my hair ALOT. From jerry curl (remember those) lol, relaxers, bleaching, fuschia hair, many colors in between. I have damaged it plenty of times and when I messed it up with a chemical process, I always cut it off and started fresh with my natural curly kinky hair. When it would grow shoulder length I always felt the need to straighten it! I would go to the Doobie shop and get it done but that was not permanent and once it was hot out, I sweat, or it got wet it always reverted back to my afro. So my hair would basically only last about 2 days, I got frustrated and relaxed it. It was like a routine that would span over a couple of years time and then I would repeat that same process. Right now, I am natural and I plan to stay this way. After researching and finding out what chemical processes can do to our bodies and the damage it caused my hair I decided that I was done. I will be shaving off my hair soon, because my best friend was diagnosed with cancer and her hair fell out the 2nd day of Chemo. So to support my friend I am shaving it off. :)
Tell us a little about your business and what inspired you to start it?
I have a handmade bath and body company called Bubble Babez Bath Company LLC., my fiance Tristan Jackson and I opened up for business in May of 2010. I got the idea to make bath and body products when I decided to make soaps and lotions for Tristan's Birthday party swag bag. My friends loved the products, asking for more and thats when the real work kicked in. I spent endless hours researching, reading, experimenting and creating. This was something that I was very passionate about and so Tristan and I decided to make it official and form Bubble Babez Bath Company LLC.,
We specialize in making soap, lotion bars, whipped body mousse, sugar scrubs etc., We are extremely proud of our bakery bath time treats; bath truffles and cupcakes.
What words of wisdom would you offer to other entrepreneurs or those who want to start a business?
The words of wisdom that I would offer to other entrpreneurs or anyone who wants to start their own business is make sure that this is what you want to live, breathe and eat. It takes sacrifice, perserverance, struggle, passion, time, effort, determination, prayer and definately patience. Lastly, I would say take a leap of faith from security to make things happen for your company! Get up and DO IT! :)
