Celeste Munford - J. Lexi

​I’ve been a creator, of sorts, ever since I can remember.  While I love to bake + cook, I've never created a recipe. I have always followed the recipe's rules without question or hesitation.  Soap making was completely different for me!  After my first soap-making class in 2012 I was hooked!  I loved the fact that I could create my own recipes. From the very beginning I used herbs, botanicals, proteins, fresh fruits, vegetables + dairy products.  Creating recipes has made me free + helped me to think outside-of-the box.  I love it!

At J. Lexi, I take a holistic approach in creating nourishing recipes for hair, face + body. Made in small batches in our Garden State fermenting kitchen, the probiotic-derived formulas are combined with nature’s bounty (fruit, veggies, botanicals, protein herbs, superfoods, + more) to encourage + support an environment for health + well-being. Radiant skin + great hair are our best accessories, help build confidence + increase self-esteem. At J. Lexi, we want you to love the skin you’re in.
It's interesting how being a maker is helping me to take better care of myself.  As I study the skin-loving benefits of the ingredients I use, I am learning how incorporating many of the herbs + botanicals into my daily diet.  Recently I've fallen in love with fermented + probiotic foods + beverages.  I not only consume them . . . I make them, too! 

Besides formulating unique + uncommon skin food, At classes with “Making It with Celeste” I teach classes on making products using unique + underused ingredients. As a purpose pusher + certified lifestyle coach, I facilitate seminars + assist makers to tap into their deepest level of creativity by creating product content + descriptions that get noticed, provoke curiosity + make sales. The purpose is to life our best lives + make the money to the overflow in support our lifestyles.
