HG: What is your process of making skincare products?

HG: What are your most popular products?

QM: Oh wow, that’s a tough one but if I had to go with 3 products they would be Drama – a cleansing acne soap bar, Turmeric Tricks – a facial mask for acne, and hyperpigmentation, Haze Toning Milk – to tone, tighten and seal pores, and Gold Mine 24K Vitamin C Serum – to balance the skin and clear blemishes.

HG: What would you say makes your business special?

QM: Our business is a uniquely Self Love Station. Our customers can come in and sit with us as if they’re sitting in their own living room to discuss anything from life’s woes to skincare. We take the time out to encourage and uplift each other given you never know what someone’s experiences are. We believe that love is a universal language that everyone should be fluent in and we spare no expense when rendering it. Come, sit, have tea, cry and laugh with us first and we’ll make you glow thereafter! 

HG: What’s something about you or your business that people might be surprised to learn about?

QM: Well it always comes as a surprise to people to learn that I’m a traveling international singer having performed with the likes of U2 to the Roots, Dave Stewart, and more. That’s always a pleasantly cute detail to share!

HG: Who or what is your biggest source of inspiration?

QM: That’s easy – GOD, my daughter, and my mom. 

HG: What are your goals for this year?

QM: My goals for the rest of this year are to simply finish strong and prepare for 2022. I’m just grateful to be breathing after what the world experienced for the past year or more. I’m definitely letting GOD take the wheel.

HG: What has been the highlight in your career/life so far?

QM: The highlight of my life will always be becoming a mom. My daughter is the core of my motivation and the very reason why I stand strong and firm on my beliefs. I’m excited about preparing for her future. I have one job to do.
