From the beginning, one of our dreams was to support local communities, from house wives to local farmers, and with a demand for Utama Spice products we were able to employ more and more people and support their families.<\/p>\n<h4><em><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2386 alignleft\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/UtamaSpiceGreenLeaf-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Utama Spice Green Leaf Body Butter\" width=\"269\" height=\"269\" \/>VB<\/em>: What has been the best and also the hardest part about being your own boss and running your own business?<\/h4>\n<p><em>R<\/em>: The best part about being your own boss is that you can create your own dream. The hardest part is balancing everything, making sure things are going in the right direction and trouble shooting problems before they occur while also fixing existing problems.\u00a0\u00a0You have to be very flexible and constantly use the information around you to make informative decisions. I have learned that there is no right or wrong decision, only different outcomes; some have more pros and some have more consequences.<\/p>\n<h4><em>VB<\/em>: Why do your products make my skin SO smooth? What is the secret ingredient?<\/h4>\n<p><em>R<\/em>: The secret is using nature to heal and balance your skin without any man made or lab made chemicals. We avoid using chemical additives because in so many cases they actually do the opposite of what they\u00a0should be doing. For example, when you eat fresh, raw or unprocessed foods, it&#8217;s healthier for you than eating fast processed food, which is bad for you. Your skin is your biggest organ and whatever you put on it will eventually enter your body. If it&#8217;s bad, your body will try naturally to detox it out of your system.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>VB<\/em>: Why do you stand apart from your competitors?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>R<\/em>: We are unique because we use 100% natural ingredients with no added chemical additives, binders or colorants.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>VB<\/em>:\u00a0Do you think your customers are the same demographic as when you first started? <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2378 alignright\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/UtamaSpice_IMG_4938-561x450.jpg\" alt=\"UtamaSpice_IMG_4938\" width=\"388\" height=\"310\" \/>How does knowing your audience affect what you produce?<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>R<\/em>: We definitely have a new demographic of customers now.
