Hi, I’m Trina.

Whiffcraft?  I made that.  Well, not all by myself, but it started with me.

Long, long ago, in a city far, far away, I was into essential oils and finding the best natural beauty products I could.  Flash forward to episode XIVIX (or something) and now I’m making all sorts of natural wellness products from our homebase in beautiful Victoria, BC.

How did it happen?

Well, when you start making little blends, custom products, and the like, friends start to ask for them.  It was great motivation and made me wonder if I was on to something.

Then it hit me like a tonne of “seriously?!?” bricks.  Charge for it. Go for it.

Yeah, but that’s hard work.  And who’s going to buy from me?  And I have to actually do it.  I looked up at my partner staring at me with that look.  You know the look.  The “come on now” look.  I was resistant to it.  But he started talking, and I listened.  At the end of the day (read: bottle of wine) it did make sense.

And after another bottle of wine, we had 2 names.  “StinkPretty” and “Whiffcraft”.

That’s Nathan there behind me.  He’s a bit of a wildcard.  But the website, names, brand stuff?  That’s mainly him.  So, he’s a necessary crazy.

Everything is still small batch, handmade by me and using the best natural ingredients I can find.  I’d like to keep it that way in the future, even if “me” means a few more photos on this page.

And here’s the market set up.  We’ve had a lot of imitators.  That means we’re doing something right, right?
