Hi, my name is Tessie but my loved ones, friends, & coworkers call me Tess.  I’m from a small town in South East Ga called Baxley.  My profession is an Environmental Health & Safety Specialist, but my passion is becoming a business owner.
My business brings uniqueness to gourmet popcorn, treats, & refreshers.  If you’ve never tried Pina Colada Popcorn, you’re missing out!  My business is designed for popcorn lovers & acquired taste buds.

DESCRIBE YOUR PROCESS.
With my cottage license, all of my products are processed fresh per order.  No artificial flavors involved, only the highest quality ingredients such as cheeses, chocolates, candies, & fruit.

WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
My continuous growth inspires me.  Just becoming a better person each & everyday is my motivation, which is only sustainable with God by my side.
