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

Hi Angela, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit, even as a child. When other kids might daydream about being a nurse or firefighter, I would daydream about running my own company. So, that passion was always there and when the time was right, pursuing it came as naturally as breathing.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Creating my line of skincare products has been, and continues to be, a work of love and dedication. Natural living is important to me and I wanted to create products that reflect that. Through my research I have developed skincare products that are superior formulas, as well as unique. I don’t use typical ingredients such as shea butter or soy wax that are found in so many natural skincare products. I strive to use ingredients that are gentle, free from nut derivatives, and vegan friendly.

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?
Having moved to the state of Utah just a year ago, my husband and I have had fun getting to know this new place we now call home. Whether you’re into city life or outdoor living, there is something for everyone.

Ogden is our favorite destination for taking in urban fun and food, with places such as Brewskis, Slackwater Pub & Pizzeria, and Tona Sushi. An interesting tidbit about Ogden is that it’s where the series Yellowstone filmed a lot of its town scenes.

When we feel like enjoying the outdoors, our favorite destination is American Fork Canyon, which has picturesque views of the surrounding mountains in our area and also the American Fork River. Whether it’s taking a day drive, or overnight camping, it’s a great way to recharge.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My shoutout goes to my husband and our kids and their spouses. The encouragement and support they have given me through the years as I’ve pursued my dream of running my own business has helped me and sustained me more than they’ll ever know.
