From Skin to Soul: The Journey Behind Orgagoods
From Skin to Soul: The Journey Behind Orgagoods
I'm Nancy, and I’m the heart and hands behind Orgagoods. If you had seen me a few years back, my face and body covered in dark acne scars, you would have seen a different person—one weighed down by insecurity. My skin wasn’t just skin; it was a canvas that told the story of my struggles, my relentless pursuit of self-confidence, and my determination to reclaim my happiness.
Those days weren’t easy. I relied on layers of makeup, hoping to mask the dark spots and the self-doubt that crept in each time I looked in the mirror. Each failed treatment felt like another layer of discouragement, another reason to question if I’d ever feel comfortable in my own skin again. But there was a shift. Instead of giving up, I decided to change from the inside out. I cut out sugar and committed to walking a mile, a few days a week. Small steps, I told myself. But in my kitchen, the challenge was real. Spices with high sodium and ingredients I couldn’t even pronounce lined my shelves, complicating the simple pleasure of cooking. I craved something natural, something pure—something that would nourish me, not just flavor my food.
Then I thought of Epis, the Creole seasoning blend I'd grown up with, but I wanted it dry, free of any preservatives or MSG, and lower in sodium. It was a simple idea: a seasoning that would enhance my meals with ease. In 2018, I created my first batch, a dry EPIS blend made from natural ingredients. For months, I seasoned everything I cooked with it. Every sprinkle of my blend became an act of self-care, each meal a small victory. Gradually, my skin transformed, and with it, my confidence bloomed. I no longer hid. I felt vibrant, healthy, and alive.
In 2020, Orgagoods was born. My vision was clear: I wanted to offer people a way to make food flavorful without compromising their health. This blend isn’t just seasoning; it’s my journey of resilience, self-care, and pride.
Now, whether you’re adding it to a salad, a burger, or my favorite—some mouthwatering cabrit—I hope you’ll feel a bit of the love and joy that went into each bottle. Like my customers always tell me, you can use it on anything. And every time you do, know that you’re part of a story that began with a woman finding her confidence, one meal at a time.
