It makes me feel good to know that I'm a part of a team that TRULY cares about the products we put on our bodies. POOFY believes family comes first and it has provided me with the flexibility and security of knowing I can be there for my family when they need me. My daily life at POOFY's is one that brings me joy and fulfillment and I feel very fortunate to be working here. " -Kathy Lopez
