Extracted from the nuts of the shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa) that is native to Africa, shea butter is a fatty oil that exists as a solid at room temperature. The Karite tree bears the fruits, and the nuts inside the fruits are of prime importance.

Although I never really KNEW the meaning of my name, I always...
When it comes to Che Lux, I take much pride in knowing that my company provides nothing but high-quality products. But it's not just the quality that is important, its the healthy ingredients that make the difference! There are many companies bragging about using soy wax for their candles, and that's fine but did you know soy wax contains heavy pesticides and fertilizer additives?! pes·ti·cide /ˈpestəˌsīd/noun a chemical used for destroying insects or other organisms harmful to cultivated plants or to animals.

And what better way to start out the new month of March than with a good read. 🙌🏽 These last couple of months have been..... actually, amazing. And now it's time to really hone in on my goals and be mindful of what I am doing so that I am becoming the best version of myself.
