Today I would like to introduce you to one of my April
sponsors Gwen Leron of Nayla Natural Care.
Tell us a little about how Nayla Natural Care came to be.
At one point when my children were smaller than they are
now, we found ourselves buying the natural and organic products we needed from
multiple places. Online, neighborhood stores, stores across the city. It became
tiresome, so I decided I wanted to start my own store carrying all of the
wonderful things we use so they would be available in one spot and hopefully
make things easier for parents in the same shoes as we were.
Being a mama, a business owner and a wife, among other titles I am
sure, how do you find balance?
Balance for me comes in waves. It never lasts long, and
truthfully, I don’t think that there will ever be balance. I just go with the
flow and make sure that no matter what, my family comes first.
If you could share one bit of advice about starting up your own
business what would it be?
Ask questions! If you know someone else who has done what
you want to do, seek their advice. Do your research before you jump in and
after you have started up, the rewards will come, be patient.
What product in the Nayla Natural Care line up is your favourite right
now?
Wow, there are so many to choose from! Everything in the
store was carefully chosen for a specific reason, so they are all favourites.
What I am using the most right now though is my Crazy
Rumors Lip Balms. My kids love them, I love them and my customers love
them. I carry 16 yummy flavours such as orange creamsicle, black cherry and
plum peppermint. With flavours like those, they are easy to love.
You have a free day, no plans, what do you do with it?
I’d say sleep in, but it has been so long, I don’t know if
my body remembers how to do that J
I’d definitely use it for family time.
Would you like to share an eco friendly tip with us?
Going green can be a daunting task for someone just starting
out. I would say to start slow, read as much as you can and understand what is
in the products you are buying. If you have questions, don’t be afraid to ask
the store you are buying from. If they know their products, they will have the
answers you need.
Thanks so much for taking the time to share a little bit about
yourself with us. It was wonderful getting to know you a little better Gwen.
