An August Afternoon is more than just a moment in time—it’s a feeling. It’s the warmth of late summer, the carefree simplicity of childhood, and the nostalgia of days spent outdoors. I remember wading through the creek with my cousins, trying to catch crayfish, harvesting vegetables with my grandpa, and dipping tart rhubarb sticks into sugar. Life was simple then—unfiltered, natural, and pure.
Now, as a mother of two, I find myself longing for that simplicity. In a world overflowing with screens and endless distractions, I want my children to experience the kind of childhood that truly matters—one rooted in adventure, curiosity, and a deep connection to nature. But along this journey, I also began questioning what I was putting in and on our bodies. That curiosity turned into action. I started making more of our food from scratch (who knew making yogurt was so easy?), and I took a hard look at the personal care industry—an industry I had worked in as a chemist for eight years.
I’ve seen the battle between natural and synthetic, the marketing gimmicks, and the overwhelming amount of conflicting information. And through it all, I realized that simplicity is powerful. Fewer ingredients. No fillers. Just gentle, effective skincare—skincare that I feel is safe enough to use on my own children.
That’s why I created August Afternoon—to offer a skincare line rooted in nostalgia and transparency, for those who, like me, want the best for their skin without the guesswork. In an age of information overload, my goal is to take the stress out of skincare, so you can spend less time worrying and more time enjoying life’s simple, beautiful moments—like an August afternoon.
