Meet Serena Musick

 

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Serena Musick a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Serena, appreciate you sitting with us today to share your wisdom with our readers. So, let’s start with resilience – where do you get your resilience from?

I had a hard childhood and always had to fight for what I needed/wanted. My mom was an alcoholic and my dad was a drug addict/dealer, I pretty much raised myself. That taught me to be strong.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

I started making lotions out of beef tallow in June of 2021 and sold them at my local farmers market. I sold out most of the time and loved telling people about the benefits of using beef tallow on their skin. I had sample jars that I let people try and I loved watching their reactions!

I started sharing about it on social media and selling even more. That’s when I knew this could be an actual business.

It’s so important to reduce the toxins in our lives. Our toxic load is huge and anywhere that we can reduce some of that is going to make us healthier. Anything you put on your skin goes into your bloodstream, so we should always be picky and not put anything on your skin that you wouldn’t eat. Our skin is our largest organ and should be kept safe from toxins, when possible.

Beef tallow is the original lotion and is really good for your skin on a cellular level. My unscented lotion is made with just beef tallow. I have some scented varieties that use good, quality essential oils also. We are now making beef tallow candles, facial oil cleansers, whipped lotions, over night cream, salt scrub, lip balm, aftershave, and more. There are products on our website that use emu oil and wild camel hump fat as well. We are working on some other neat products too..

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

I think being determined was a big part as my business was growing, because of the ups and downs, it would’ve been easy to give up.

Patience is so important. I think that the advice I’d give to others would be to be patient and do some research on your competitors.

How can folks who want to work with you connect?

I am always looking for collaborators for my natural skincare products. I love to work with people that want to share about a small business. If you just love natural products and want to share with friends and family or if you use them professionally, I’d love to collaborate.
