Every product has a story. Some start with a business plan. Some start with market research.

Hot Cocoa Bath Soak started with Stacie saying, “What if bath time smelled like hot chocolate?”

That’s it. That’s the origin story.

How It Actually Happened

We were at a craft show (I think it was Central Dauphin Band Boosters, but don’t quote me on that), and Stacie was doing what Stacie does: talking to customers, asking what they wished existed, mentally filing away ideas.

This Is Where It All Started

Hey friends. Stacie here. Can I tell you a secret?

Momma Bears Creations didn’t start as a business idea.

It didn’t start with market research or a business plan or dreams of craft shows.

It started with teacher gifts.

Let me take you back: Maddi was in school. Every year, the same dilemma hit: What do I give her teachers to show I actually appreciate everything they do?

We All Have “That Person”

Hey friends. Stacie here. Let me tell you about my friend.

She’s amazing. Kind, generous, always there when I need her. She’s supported our business from day one, shows up to our craft shows, tells all her friends about us.

She also has EVERYTHING.

Seriously. If she wants something, she buys it. Her house is beautiful and curated. She doesn’t need more decorative objects. She doesn’t want clutter. She’s practical and particular.

The Candle Dilemma (Every Gift-Giver Knows This)

Hey friends! Stacie here. Let me paint you a familiar picture:

The scenario: You need a gift. Teacher appreciation, friend’s birthday, Secret Santa at work, Mother’s Day, “thank you for helping us move” gift. You want something thoughtful, but you’re stuck.

Your thought process: “Maybe… a candle?”

Look, I LOVE candles. I burn them in our Enola house constantly. But here’s the truth: Everyone gives candles. That teacher already has 47 vanilla-scented candles. Your friend has a whole closet shelf of unopened candle gifts.

Four Different People, Four Different Conversations

Hey friends! Stacie here.

At Pumpkinfest last year, I had the most interesting day at our booth. Four different people stopped by asking about Tattoo Luv, and each one needed to hear about it in a completely different way.

First person: A heavily tattooed guy in his 30s, sleeves on both arms, asking detailed questions about ingredients

“Is That… Soap?”

Hey friends! Stacie here. You know what question I hear at literally EVERY craft show?

Customer picks up a lotion bar, smells it, looks confused

“Wait… what IS this? Is it soap?”

Me: “It’s a lotion bar!”

“A lotion… BAR? Like solid lotion?”

Me: “Exactly!”

“So… how do you use it?”

And that’s when I know we’re about to have a great conversation.

Lotion bars are one of those products that confuse people at first glance - they look like soap, they’re solid like soap, but they’re definitely NOT soap. And once people understand what they are and how to use them, they become obsessed.
