We had the good fortune of connecting with Chastity Solomon and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Chastity, how did you come up with the idea for your business?
This question is an awesome question because Hemp and the cbd world actually wasn’t an industry that I was love with, but I knew many people that enjoyed the industry and saw it in different light, one person was my husband he is from Cali so that is a normal way of life out there . I hated the smell of Hemp and Marijuana and never understood what people got out it.

Fast forward I started following a big influencer on instagram that was actually helping people with credit repair but started to teach people about Hemp I was really impress so I decided to order her hemp body scrub and was more impress by how it made me feel. Long story short she stop selling the product. A few days later I was on the bed thinking about the the body scrub and my husband was in the back playing music smoking. I remember shaking my head because I smell the marijuana and saying to myself this stuff “stink soo bad these people are delusional” lol When I mentioned the word delusional to myself I kept repeating ” they living an illusion” I ran to the bathroom and grab the empty container of the body scrub to read the back and said to myself . I’m going to make my own scrub I’m about to turn something I hate s0 much into profit like turning lemons into lemonade. I grab a note book and start coming up with names that relates to Hemp and how it makes you feel. I came up with 4 scrubs Illusion, Pretty Calm, Dream, and Mesmerize each one had it’s own identity with colors and scents . Mind you I didn’t have a name yet for the Brand until the next day when I was in the shower and I ask myself what should I call this company and god spoke to me and said call it HEMPNOTIC . yessss HEMPNOTIC

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
What set me apart for others I’m not a dull skincare line I’m always thinking ahead and out the box. I’m very innovative and love to create creative content that speak to the product. I will make you think about what I post not just the product. I’m also driven to succeed if one thing don’t work I will go back to the drawing board. I over come my challenges by revisiting the idea. I have learned that it’s timing and timing makes a difference what don’t work today may work later so don’t give up. Sometimes you may buy an outfit without the matching shoes you may not find that shoe until later and that’s ok that don’t mean not to buy the outfit. Words are powerful so what think and speak you are.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
