The Quiet Awe of Being Chosen by Kimberly Waldropt, Founder of TERRA-TORY

There are days when I’m packing orders, late at night, the scent of lemongrass in the air, and I stop. I look at the labels. I look at the names. I feel the weight of it:

People spend their hard-earned money on this.

On us.

On TERRA-TORY.

And it’s not lost on me.

We’re a small business. No big campaigns. No glossy magazine features. Just care. Ingredient by ingredient. Product by product. Ritual by ritual. And still—you find us. You choose us.

You could buy your skincare anywhere. But you buy it from a brand that hand-whips butters. That infuses oils with herbs. That formulates for real skin. Dry skin. Sensitive skin. Skin that’s been through things.

You choose to spend your money on nourishment. On quiet luxury. On something that feels good and does good. That’s wild to me. It humbles me. It motivates me.

And if you’re reading this, I want you to know:

This isn’t just a transaction to me. It’s a relationship. It’s care, passing from my hands to yours.

So thank you—for showing me that thoughtful business has a place in this world. That healing has value. That small can still be sacred.

Until the next order, the next drop, the next moment of care—

I’m grateful.

Kimberly
