Hello
From Diagnosis to Dream:
My journey to founding Hause of Jewels Von J began unexpectedly. Diagnosed with lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease, my world was turned upside down. Yet, amidst the challenges, I discovered a silver lining.
Rather than letting lupus define me, I chose to embrace it as a catalyst for creativity. Inspired by my God-given talents, I began crafting custom accessories and cosmetics. This creative outlet provided a soothing escape, a mental and emotional sanctuary.
A Kitchen to a Brand
My entrepreneurial spirit took flight in my mother's kitchen. Armed with a spoon, a candle, and a touch of determination, I experimented with waxes and pigments, crafting my first batch of lipsticks.
As my passion grew, so did my offerings. I expanded my creations to include custom glasses, a surprising addition inspired by a fortuitous event at a vending event. A pimple, a pair of glasses, and a newfound confidence led me to embrace a style I had previously overlooked.
Lupus Doesn't Have Me
Throughout my journey, I've held onto a simple yet powerful mantra: "I have lupus, lupus doesn't have me." This philosophy fuels my determination to overcome challenges and pursue my dreams.
Hause of Jewels Von J is more than just a collection of products; it's a testament to the human spirit's resilience and the power of creativity. I invite you to explore my creations and join me on this inspiring journey.
As Maya Angelou wisely said, "Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it." This quote has been my guiding light, reminding me to embrace my unique path and find joy in every step.
