Hello my dear friends,
I'm Vanessa Bowers-Yates, proprietress of Blackbird and Butterfly. My mother, Merle Bowers whose name means Blackbird in french and my own name which is the greek word for Butterfly is the inspiration for our company name. Our story is a delightful one I joyfully share with you.
When I was a child, my mother used to have "spa days" at home with me during which we would create our own treatments for skin and hair. I so loved spending those afternoons making our own scrubs and salts, masks and treatments, mixing one concoction after another while we pampered ourselves and each other. Those are my fondest childhood memories and shaped my view of the world.
I started Blackbird and Butterfly to pay homage to my mother and those wonderful afternoons. Our products are handmade using the best ingredients we can find. The fragrances are a delight to the senses and range from fun to sensual to fit your moods. I'm sure you'll enjoy them as much as I have over the years.
