Just G o For It!
Jackie Granchamps, founder and maker of Cecile Bath and Body, wasn’ t always a business owner. In fact, her journey began in good old corporate America. After working and living that lifestyle, Jackie began to realize that moving up the corporate ladder was no longer fulfilling.
Growing up in a family with deep Caribbean roots, where nature is embraced, Jackie strived to reeducate women on how to take care of themselves in a natural and safe way.“ We’ re living in a society where we eat and use things we can barely pronounce,“ she says.“ I wanted to change that.” Jackie’ s goal was to create unique handmade soaps, made from whole, natural ingredients. She now has an extensive collection of everything from soaps to lip balms to diaper cream.
Five years have passed since Jackie decided to become an entrepreneur.“ It’ s been such a life changing journey,” she adds.“ I learn new things from clients everyday. They tell me exactly what they need and I try my best to give it to them.” That’ s why Cecile’ s Bath and Body doesn’ t stop at just bathing products. Jackie is an avid supporter of her fellow women entrepreneurs and has taken her business to the next level. In upcoming months, Jackie will be hosting pop up shops, where customers can enjoy a variety local of businesses, thus providing more possible opportunities for other entrepreneurs. More trade shows are also in the works for 2017.
Even though Jackie has experienced plenty of obstacles on her way to success, she encourages women to go for it.“ Take the leap and always listen to your intuition,” she recommends.” It is so worth it!”
