I know many of us are feeling a whole lot lost today. What a shock to find out that our beloved Aromaleigh will be no more. I could focus on what I think brought it about but it'd make no difference at this juncture and others have said it MUCH better than I ever could've.
About 2.5 years ago several of us found out about Aromaleigh due to the fact that, at the time, she was sponsoring Emilie Autumn. I took the plunge first and ordered samples. Instantly I was hooked. I urged the others to make orders and over time I noticed something. I was changing.
To those who say "It's just make up" you couldn't be more wrong. To me Aromaleigh made me feel GOOD. Good about myself and the world around me. Now, don't mistake me, my husband is an amazing person and he has given me so much. Some things though have to come from within. My self-confidence was less than zero when I found AL. Over time I found myself liking myself and then loving myself. We're all unique I just hadn't found the qualities in me that I thought were beautiful and wonderful.
Somehow, some way, this indie mineral makeup company forever changed how I view me. Will that change now? No, of course not. Do I feel that we have all somehow lost? Beyond a doubt. I'm incredibly sad for all of us.
Only one person knows all the factors of why it came to this and she has every right to not go into it. IMHO, it's time to let it all go on all fronts. Healing needs to happen for many people at this point. I, for one, will not give certain things a second more thought. It's not worth it. What I will do, is send positive energy to Miss K and to Conner. I will treasure the friendships I made through the forum. I will continue to love the woman I found over 2 years ago in myself. I will continue to improve myself and my outlook. It's the least I can do.
Miss K, may you find true peace and happiness. Like you gave to many of us. My Blessings to you and yours.

Great post :) I wish I could think of more to say, but I think I'm all rambled out for now.

Such a lovely post. I'm really saddened by all of this. I will continue to use my Aromaleigh makeup although it will be bittersweet. I'm trying to have an "it is what it is" attitude but it still really bothers me.
ReplyDeleteI hope Miss K and her family can have some peace in their life.
