Iman Yvonne Beauty

You’ve probably seen Batana Oil all over social media lately, but have you ever seen it in its raw form?

Before becoming the beautiful amber-colored oil many people know and love, Batana begins as a rich, dark butter-like paste that is gently melted and transformed.

Sourced from Honduras and used for generations by the indigenous Miskito people, Batana Oil is prized for helping nourish dry hair, moisturize the scalp, and improve softness and manageability.

I love sharing not only the finished product, but also the process and traditions behind ingredients that have been trusted for generations.

Three years ago, I lost my mother, Brenda Elaine.

There are days when I still reach for the phone to call her. Days when I hear her voice in my heart reminding me to keep going, keep creating, and keep loving people well.

Flowers for Elaine™ was created in her honor.

What started as a tribute became one of the most loved products in my collection—a luxurious body and massage oil handcrafted with Arnica and Calendula-infused oils and designed to transform everyday moisturizing into a moment of intentional self-care.

As this month comes to a close, I’m reminded that grief and gratitude can exist together. I miss her deeply, but I’m thankful that a piece of her story continues to live on through every bottle.

If you’ve ever lost someone you love, this is your reminder to take a moment for yourself today.

Who is someone you’ll always carry with you? 💜

Today’s Mastercard Small Business Summit was such a valuable experience. ✨

There’s something powerful about being in rooms designed to pour into small business owners — rooms filled with education, resources, collaboration, and real conversations about growth. Today was full of insight, inspiration, and meaningful connections.

We talked about:
• AI & innovation in business
• Marketing strategies & industry trends
• Funding opportunities & financial readiness
• Positioning your business for grants and loans
• Building sustainable, scalable brands

And beyond the information, the networking alone was worth it. So many conversations with entrepreneurs, leaders, and resource partners who truly understand the journey of building something from the ground up.

Great food, great music, great energy… just an overall vibe. 🙌🏾

I’m grateful I took the time to step away from the daily grind and invest in learning, growing, and being in spaces that support entrepreneurs like me. As a small business owner, moments like this remind me that we don’t have to build alone.

The vision is growing. The business is growing. And I’m excited for what’s ahead. 💜

There’s something special about slowing down and creating with intention. ✨

Today’s batch: Nerolian Shea Blossom — one of my favorite soaps to make and one of your favorites to bring home. From the soft creamy lather to the heavenly scent blend, every bar is handcrafted with care from start to finish.

Made with simple, skin-loving ingredients like nourishing oils, rich butters, and botanical elements chosen intentionally — because knowing what you put on your skin matters. 🌿

No shortcuts.
No mass production.
Just thoughtful formulation, patience, creativity, and a whole lot of love poured into every loaf.

I truly believe self-care should feel luxurious, comforting, and connected to wellness… even in the smallest daily rituals.

Thank you for supporting handmade. Thank you for supporting purposeful beauty. 🤍

Last night was nothing short of amazing. 💛

Our daughter, Alia Iman, officially graduated from Kennesaw State University and our hearts are overflowing with pride. Watching her walk across that stage was a reminder that hard work, perseverance, faith, and determination truly pay off.

To see the little girl we’ve loved and poured into become this accomplished young woman is such a beautiful blessing. The late nights, the sacrifices, the challenges, the growth… it was all worth it.

Alia, we are beyond proud of you and excited to watch you step into this next chapter of life. Keep shining, keep growing, and keep becoming everything you were created to be.

For every patron who has stopped by our booth and bought a print, button, bag, or journal, thank you for your support!! We appreciate you!!

The best is truly yet to come. 🎓✨💫

Happy Sunday 🤍

Today is a rest + reset day… but before I ease into it, here’s a little recap of the week ✨

A true day in my life—three markets, three full setups and breakdowns (so yes, your girl definitely got her workout in 💪🏽😅):

• Rockdale Farmer’s Market
• Atlantic Station (Friday night vibes ✨)
• Taste of Spring in Old Town Conyers (yesterday was beautiful 🌸)

In between all of that—making products, formulating, connecting with my amazing patrons (new and returning 🫶🏽), and soaking up this gorgeous weather… it’s been a full, blessed week.

And the icing on the cake?
Coming back to my Jeep after packing up yesterday and finding a little ducky waiting on me 🐥💛

Life is good.

Now it’s time to rest, reset, and prepare for another amazing week ahead.

Happy Sunday
