Health & Beauty

Over many mugs swirling coffee with cream, and heart to heart meet ups drizzling honey in tea cups, two friends sighed to each other: “We should have our own coffee shop...” With a shared history for the love of coffee, tea, the stories they tell and the bonds they can create, ilé began brewing. Between local coffee dates and vacation discoveries, we knew we wanted to share something that combined the thrill of tasting a new tea from the markets of Marrakech and the warmth of a morning blend in your kitchen. Something novel and distinctive that still feels like home. "ilé? What does that mean?" - The simplest answer : home. The word ilé came to us from the Nigerian Yoruba language. To us, ilé includes the concepts and sentiments of home, brought in from the people and places that have positively impacted us most. Our hope is that those affects can come back to the home nest, enjoyed daily, in the most simple pleasures, like coffee and tea. Whomever you are, wherever you’ve been or would like to go, we invite you home, ilé. Jena and Aja would love for you to come, and sip some with us.

Welcome to Natures Jewel! We embarked on our personal Health and Wellness journey back in 2014. Having lived a period of time without health insurance, and quickly realizing that the most effective way to avoid hefty medical bills is to not become ill in the first place, the initial research on proper nutrition and supplements began. Soon after, our research expanded from not just what goes into the body, but what is also applied on the body (lotion, deodorant, hair gel, etc.). Throughout this time we began handcrafting our own products ranging from several different supplements ( in capsule form), to hair, skin, and face products. All of which were organic and all natural. Thus birthing Natures Jewel. Our mission is to provide all natural, handcrafted products made from quality organic, non-GMO ingredients with absolutely no unnecessary additives or fillers. We love what we do and practice what we preach. Accept the “ Natures Jewel Challenge” and take control of your own health and wellness. Embark on your personal journey today!

After enduring severe abdominal pain from her teenage years into adulthood, Tia was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2006. Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the womb. Far from uncommon, this condition affects more than 6.5 million women in the United States alone, causing debilitating symptoms that include pelvic pain, cramping and infertility. When she planned to start a family of her own, Tia searched for a treatment that could put an end to her endometriosis. She decided to do a complete diet overhaul by swapping out inflammatory foods like dairy, processed foods, and some of her favorite junk food with healthy greens, fresh fruits, high-quality proteins, and supplements. The result? Life changing improvement to her overall health.

Conjuria was created by Fredericka Turner in early 2019 where it had started on Etsy. A company solely ran by Fred, who is a Rootworker and healer in New Orleans. She was born into a strong heritage of rootworkers, learning the family recipes and conjure. In 2018, she decided to start a Facebook group, Do You Hoodoo? to begin teaching her friends Hoodoo. The membership skyrocketed when the word spread about Fred's skills, and her methods of teaching. In mid 2019, she decided to expand to add another Facebook group, The Hoodoo Box, a women's only group that allowed women to learn about Sex Magick. End of 2019, Fred decided to expand again and added a place to find reputable crystal sellers and information about crystals to implement in conjure called, Crystal Conjure on Facebook. If you are looking for ways to implement your Conjuria products, checking out the Social Learning Units on the Facebook groups will give you plenty of options and How-tos. Thank you for choosing Conjuria!

I'm MyAsia Reid, 31 years old. I was born, raised, in Philadelphia, PA, but currently reside in Houston Texas. In 2011, I received my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from Elizabeth City State University. During the summer of June until August 2011, I interned at the National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA) in Greenbelt Maryland. Once my internship ended I had to receive emergency heart surgery due to having irregular heartbeats at 268 BPM. I was diagnosed with Atrial Tachycardia. After the 1st failed surgery, and then a second successful one, while on bed rest I vividly remember having a dream while on bed rest that I was in Cosmetology School. The next day, I decided to apply. Not knowing where it would take me, I finished Cosmetology School in 2012 and worked in a few salons before taking a break to brand and market myself. In 2013, I decided to take a year to serve inner-city youth at Youth Build Charter school where I taught Web Design and Graphic Design to High School Drop-In Seniors. My desire has always been to focus on my passions which is using my gifts to bring glory to God while impacting and encouraging others to do the same. In early 2014, Graphic Design became my main focus. Creating designs proficiently to help companies advertise and promote their various events and projects, including designing logos, business cards, brochures, t shirt design etc. In the last few months of 2014, I began to seek God on leading my path towards continuing to encourage people on a daily basis while still having the opportunity to use my gifts. God spoke so clearly, and I started styling hair at Asanti Hair Studio from December 2014 until now. In the last 4 years, I have been able to travel to style hair in different states, network with others to help continually serve in my community, and still be able to encourage others while doing what I love. I even had the chance to style hair at the same Charter School, working as a Graphic Design Instructor. Now, how awesome is that! Along the way, in 2017, I decided to make some major health changes in losing weight. On that journey, I also discovered the leading cause of my scalp condition (seborrheic dermatitis} that I have battled with since birth. I was also able to lose more than my 20-pound goal weight and keep it off. In just one year, I was led by God to go back to school to study Holistic Nutrition, in order to gain the wisdom and knowledge needed to help others better to take back their life and live it to the full.

The Natural Pick "The #1 Pick for All Your Beauty Needs" As a naturalist for the past 7 years, making the commitment and becoming a natural hair enthusiast, I became a product junkie. Anything that sounded good to use I purchased and tried. I lost a lot of money and wasted a lot of products. In the past few years, I learned and experimented with different natural products and extracts. I concentrated on understanding why each one was beneficial for hair & skin and I came up with my own recipes. Yassss! My Holy Grail product! I would make it for family and friends and they kept coming back for more..So now when everyone asks what I am using I can tell them the “Natural Pick”. I started the Natural Pick because I wanted to offer a multipurpose all natural Hair & Skin care product along with my handmade custom jewelry pieces. I ventured off into making scrubs, lotions and facial masks using natural ingredients that will leave your hair & skin absolutely decadent. The benefits of the ingredients I use are nearly endless, these hair and skin care products are made fresh and can be made with ingredients and scents especially for you! I hope you enjoy! ~E P.S. See if any of the product names spark up your favorite music nostalgia!!!!!!

I have spent the last year trying out different combinations and ratios of shea butter, essential oils, and other natural ingredients to create effective, affordable products for natural hair (curly/kinky/coily) and for all skin types. My products are also apart of an effort to promote a lifestyle that’s more natural and informed about what we are putting on our skin and ultimately in our bodies. When I started experiencing health issues that doctors couldn't give me clear answers to, I knew it was time to change my lifestyle--the foods I eat, my level of daily activity, and the products I put on my body. This change sparked a passion for promoting a more nautral lifestyle in my circle and in my community. All products are carefully homemade with natural, organic ingredients from trusted sources.
