We recently connected with Alexa Higginson and have shared our conversation below.
Alexa, we are so happy that our community is going to have a chance to learn more about you, your story and hopefully even take in some of the lessons you’ve learned along the way. Let’s start with self-care – what do you do for self-care and has it had any impact on your effectiveness?
Self-care is very important to me. I need to take time to disconnect from work, emails, and tasks to care for myself. Thing I enjoy doing the better my mind and body are working out, spending quality time with my husband and children, eating nutritious foods and getting outside. Doing these activities lowers my anxiety and increases my mood. When I go back into my work space, I feel rejuvenated and more creative. Having a healthy time away from my work environment to focus on what makes me feel good increases my productivity when I get back to the hustle.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
HELLO
Hello, I am Alexa Campbell, Owner of Penny Lane Organics, a Tree-Hugger, Skin Care Obsessed & a Mom.
I create a line of All Natural products based on my personal philosophy that if we wouldn’t put something IN our bodies then we won’t put it ON our bodies either.
Our products are handmade in small batches to ensure high quality and freshness. We source luxurious organic ingredients that are all natural and rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Our products and ingredients are also cruelty-free, vegan/vegetarian, gluten free, sustainable and socially conscious.
I believe all natural is best. If you have not made the switch now is the time. We offer Natural Skin Care, Personal Care, Baby Care, Pet Care, Aromatherapy and More. Handmade in Ontario, Canada with LOVE.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Determination, Self-improvement and Critical thinking. Determination has kept me focused on achieving my goals. Self-improvement has helped me over come challenges caused by stress and anxiety that lead to being burnt out. Critical thinking has helped me make a lot of difficult decisions for my business and for myself, often while under pressure. Advice I would give is to be true to yourself and focus on yourself. Remember who you are and why you are doing what you are.
How would you describe your ideal client?
Right now, we offer our products wholesale to health and beauty stores in Canada. We have recently been able to offer our products refill style to local refilleries too. My ideal clients are health and beauty store, refilleries, spa’s, and handmade markets that care about our plant, sustainability, and clean products.
