Issue No. 12 - A Decade of Isola

  10 Years / 1 Decade / 3,652 Days and countless hours since we launched Isola.  At times it feels like yesterday that I came up with the idea to sell a Body Scrub from a family recipe that originated in Jamaica and other times it feels like forever ago. I remember very clearly sitting in our apartment with a 2-year-old and a newborn and dreaming about starting my own company with this one product I had. And so, I did.

Issue No. 9 - 'Tis the Season

'TIS THE SEASON December, you suddenly arrive and often times we aren’t prepared for you yet but then we never want you to leave.  You try your best to bring joy to everyone. Even in the cold, you are capable of warming hearts and souls around the globe.  It feels like no matter what religion you are or what you celebrate, the Christmas songs that play on the radio throughout the month are nostalgic. Even though we will hear the same songs over and over and over again, we get upset when they end. And what about the holiday movies?...
