Like many people in our country, the spread of Covid-19 forced Karelis Gonzalez to leave her comfort zone and reinvent herself a much more prosperous and independent life. It taught her to grow as an individual, which is why in August 2020, right in the middle of the pandemic, she began to work in a venture where the first product created was aromatherapy candles accompanied by body massages.
Aromatherapy for Entrepreneurship
Karelis’ intention was to produce her own aromatherapy sessions, finding the relationship between caring for the body and mind, with the benefits of nature. This is how a week later, in September of that same year she launched Menta & Miel – Aroma y Bienestar. Mint (Menta): produces serenity, Honey (Miel): offers the feeling of living creatively, and more for the many things made with honey. Aroma and Well-being (Aroma y Bienestar) is what Karelis guarantees to her customers.
Healthy and Natural Products
Through aromatherapy with soy wax candles and essential oils, Menta & Miel products offer each client health and beauty. It is for this reason that they are carefully formulated to provide benefits, such as the recovery of the skin so that it feels healthy and natural, the increase in healthy levels of moisture, as well as the correction of damage caused by free radicals. Each product is friendly to the environment, contains antioxidants and is easy for the whole family to use.
At Menta & Miel each product is handcrafted and personalized. A formula that allows them to achieve results that guarantee the satisfaction of each client. The raw material they use comes from nature, extracted from plants, herbs, clays, minerals, among others.
Entrepreneurship, Synonym of Happiness
The happiness of creating a product that benefits many people, knowing that it can be the solution for “something” that someone needs, is the most valuable reason for Karelis in this endeavor. Another reason, that many do not imagine, is to have people enjoy the wealth of nature and the health that it provides, the best way she found to teach this philosophy of life.
Plans, Anecdotes and the Future
The most significant anecdote for Karelis which reflected the success that her products would have was that on one occasion the lip balms with delicious aromas were at rest to be labeled in a safe place in the house. Her daughter, only 5 years old, got to where they were, seeing herself alone, did not think twice and tried (literally) almost all of them, except the chocolate one because she does not like that taste. Proof that the products appeal to most tastes in general.
Karelis plan in the near and mid term future is to open her own physical store where those interested will learn how to make and use their own products.
Her philosophy is that a wish does not change anything, however a decision changes everything.
