I’m always joking about my double life, my ‘green acres’ story, my ‘manolos to manure’ story… It all started with a little piece of property in the PNW and a desire to have a getaway place to breathe, relax and be present with our first child. Somewhere to play out our little fantasy of peace and quiet and carefree living. Rosieloo farms is the name we gave our farm. Named after our two daughters rosie and lucia. Then came the chickens and ‘Two Good Eggs’ was born. a sweet little company set up for summer fun money in a jar.

In 2013 we decided to call Rosieloo Farms ‘Home’ It was very challenging leaving LA and i personally had a hard time shifting from having to now commute to work and finding great care for my girls when i was on a job. People thought we were a little crazy and wondered how we would be able ‘to leave’ and still work in our business with all of our regular clients. I had no idea but its worked thus far and has actually been a blessing in disguise especially when the pandemic became a reality. We didn’t see that one coming but it reinforced that we made a good safe choice for our family.

Eight years later, bumps and grinds, good and bad, we are still here, and the opportunity to get quiet and focus on other aspects of life helped to grow renabella beauty. Creating this company and combining a lifelong love of mixing nutrient rich oils into my work as an artist has been a dream. Living here has helped to make the dream come true. Everyday i go into my studio/lab and focus on bringing over four decades of my real life experiences as a Hollywood makeup artist and the hundreds of faces I’ve embraced, into my love of nurturing what is beautiful in all people. Exploring the true meaning of beauty and defining it on my own terms. For me, beauty is learning to find a balance in mothering, creating, nurturing, working . Striving to be kind, vulnerable, fierce and gentle.

I believe that there is beauty in everything. i believe that everyone should have the opportunity to see their true beauty and embrace it.

I believe that there is true beauty in self acceptance, self love and self care. It is a lifelong journey and wisdom is an incredible navigator, so for now, I will create beautiful oils and serums that will accompany you on your own life journey and I will continue to be inspired and learn as I go along.

I love what I do and I love that I still do it. Everyday brings something new.
