My Story
Hi, my name is Manny — Welcome.
A little about me: I was born and raised in Long Beach, CA, but today, I proudly call Las Vegas home. I was born on September 5th, & yes, I’m a Virgo. 😊
My journey hasn’t always been easy. I grew up in a world that made me feel like I had to hide who I was, not just because of my queerness and who I wanted to love, but simply to be accepted at all. I’ve faced homelessness, struggled with addiction, and know all too well what it’s like to walk through darkness, to feel unseen, unheard, and misunderstood.
But over time, I stopped shrinking. I embraced my truth, my queerness, my magic, and with that, came light.
Making soap became more than just a craft; it became a form of healing. It’s how I slow down, quiet my racing thoughts, and remind myself that everything is going to be okay.
This practice has helped transform me, from a wild, restless spirit into a grounded, awakened soul, fully present in this beautiful, chaotic realm we call Earth.
Now, I pour that energy into every soap I create. Each one handcrafted with intention, heart, and soul, here in the USA. 🇺🇸
Nocturnal Angel is my tribute to the beauty that can grow from pain and darkness, like a lotus rising from the mud.
These soaps aren't just for your skin, they’re for your spirit.
They’re for anyone who’s ever felt like they had to dim their light just to make it through.
Here, we shine unapologetically.
Thank you for being here, for supporting my journey, and for allowing my creations to be part of your own.
Here’s to reclaiming your light & never dimming it again.
With love always,
Manny
