My Journey into Sustainable Beauty & Tanzanian Skincare

Now That You're Here, Let Me Tell You What's Up with These Blogs

Welcome to the heart of my journey! I’m so glad you’ve made it here. Now that we’re in the same space, let me give you a little rundown on what you can expect from this blog.

This space isn’t just about me sharing pretty pictures of skincare products (though we’ll get to that, I promise). It’s all about digging deep into the world of sustainable beauty, especially right here in Tanzania. I’m on a mission to unearth the beauty secrets our land has to offer and build a beauty ecosystem that’s ethical, sustainable, and – above all – authentically Tanzanian.

So, what’s the deal with these blogs? Well, they’re all part of the bigger picture. Some posts will be me reflecting on what I’ve learned, like my very first skincare formulation workshop, while others will get real about the challenges I’m facing. I’m not here to sugarcoat anything – if something works, I’ll share it. If it doesn’t? You’ll hear about that too. After all, this journey is about learning, evolving, and sharing it all with you.

I also want to shine a light on the rich traditions of Tanzanian beauty that so often get overlooked. From Manjano (turmeric) to Machicha ya Nazi (coconut pulp), there are so many natural ingredients and age-old rituals waiting to be rediscovered and celebrated. In these blogs, I’ll be sharing the stories behind these traditions, exploring their benefits, and showing how they can be used to build a modern, sustainable skincare routine.

But most importantly, this space is for you. Whether you’re here because you’re passionate about sustainable beauty, curious about natural skincare, or just want to be part of something new and exciting, I want you to feel like you’re part of the conversation. So take a look around, explore the stories, and let’s keep this journey going together.

I’m excited for you to be here – let's dive into this world of sustainable beauty, one post at a time!
