She’s 12 now and she’s had severe eczema her entire life. Poor little kid has been scratching herself raw since she was 1 0r 2. So, as a mom I started years ago, cooking up things in my kitchen and trying them on myself, trying them on Bella and trying them on her little sister Mia.

Everything we do is topical. Everything we do is zero THC because I didn’t want to get my own children high.
