After spending nearly a decade of her professional career in front of the camera as a television news reporter, Kristin Smith went on seeking to help others.  First, at the national nonprofit The Humane Society of the United States, and now with the mission-based beauty company, Beautycounter - working to get safe products into the hands of everyone. As a mom of three (all still in diapers), Kristin is so aware of the safety of the products she uses on her skin and that of her family.  And after finding out there are barely any laws regulating the multi-billion dollar beauty industry in the United States, she knew she had to take action. The things she uses need to meet two criteria. They need to work, and they need to be safe. Beautycounter products meet those with beautiful, sparkling, flying colors. And now that she knows, she wants everyone else to know too.  For more information, please visit www.beautycounter.com/kristinsmith.

Kirsten Falsey was born in Elk Grove Village in Illinois and raised in Tucson,  Arizona.  She attended the University of Arizona where she was the recipient of an Alumni Scholarship.  She earned a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing and went on to become a Labor and Delivery Nurse.  She moved to California and was a Labor and Delivery nurse for ten years,  four of which she was a Charge Nurse.  She became pregnant for the first time with twins in 2010.  Then in 2011,  right before they were born,  Kirsten lost her beloved mother to cancer.  While grieving over the loss of her mother,  Kirsten gave birth to her twin daughters.  Soon after giving birth,  Kirsten started seeing a therapist, and eventually a psychiatrist,  after it was realized that she was not only grieving the loss of her mother, but that she was also suffering from postpartum depression which eventually lead to stays in a psychiatric hospital.

Dr. Kathia Roberts takes joy in her new role as a holistic mom while continuing her passion as a healer, naturopath, medical herbalist, and doctor of integrative medicine by empowering families with healthy, holistic alternatives in health care since 2004.  She grew up in South Africa and began experimenting with herbal potions at an early age.  As a teenager, she suffered from colitis from an eating disorder and was misdiagnosed with Tourette Syndrome.  As a result, she was prescribed Prozac and Ritalin that caused multiple side effects.  This life experience inspired her to help parents be mindful of having their child (or themselves) be defined by their diagnosis and to, rather, seek a holistic, mind-body-spirit approach to address the root cause naturally instead of masking it.   She has served on several statutory councils representing allied health professionals and continues to teach herbal medicine and mind-body therapies to other health care practitioners.  She is the director of Seasonal Health Well

Realizing that there was a huge gap in the "maternity" industry with a very under-served market for postpartum women and its recovery period, Myrtle & Flossie was born in late 2011.  Understanding personally the mental, physical, and emotional challenges that take place after giving birth, Nia wanted to create a company where new and established moms could go for resources, information, easy transitional fashion, and postpartum/women's wellness service
