She turns 76 tomorrow. And somehow, after all these years, my mom still amazes me every single day.
She’s never had a single cosmetic procedure. Her skin is the result of the same philosophy she has believed in for decades: take care of your skin, use beautiful ingredients, and never compromise on what you put on it.
My mom, Mariana, learned skincare from a professor in Bucharest who was trained in a 100-year-old Parisian method. No petroleum, no propylene glycol, no fragrance. Just concentrated natural ingredients, carefully formulated and made by hand.
And she has spent the last 46 years proving that it works.
But what makes me proudest of her has nothing to do with her skin.
It’s the woman behind it.
My mom has worked incredibly hard her entire life. She built something with her own hands, poured her heart into every product, and never stopped showing up. She’s the kind of woman who gives everything she has to her family, her work, and the people she loves.
I’ve watched her do this my entire life.
And now, getting to carry on what she and my dad started in 1980 is one of the greatest honors of my life. What started as their dream became my childhood, my education, my career, and now my responsibility to protect their legacy.
So tomorrow, we’re not just celebrating 76 years of her life.
We’re celebrating 46 years of her dedication, her hands, her knowledge, her strength, and the legacy she built for our family. 🤍
And because my mom has always been more excited about giving than receiving, she wants to give YOU a birthday gift.
