What's in a name?

I get asked a lot about the names of my products!

In each listing I include the translation and in many cases, a brief explanation of what it means.

The names I've chosen for my hand care line are all Hindi.  They're picked to specifically match the formulation.  For example, Gulaba means rose and it's the name of my hemp and rose hand cream.  Sometimes it's a random and everyday word that is just beautiful to me, other times it's the name of a Hindu deity.  After all!  The logo for Glitter and Gratitude is a little G shaped elephant, the god Ganesh, the remover of obstacles!



He was an important part of the concept and motivation behind my shop and he helped motivate me every step of the way!

I know it's a little confusing, which is why I'm going to rearrange a few things.  Starting in 2016 when I reopen, my core hand care/skin care line will bear the original Hindu names.  But.  All of my soaps, hair care products, and upcoming men's line will have more...  user friendly names!  It's important to keep the original focus of my company intact, it's important for me to continue to focus on why I started GGA.
