HannesDóttir
is an extraordinary skincare brand founded by a vision.
A gift from our Icelandic father, Hannes Arthur.
The Vision Formula
I was lying in bed languishing in that wonderful twilight that comes just before sleep after my prayers when a list of ingredients appeared before my closed eyes, as if I was looking at a 5x7 piece of notebook paper. The top word was Icelandic Sea Kelp. I am of Icelandic heritage and my dad Hannes spoke the language, but I had never heard of Icelandic Kelp. Several other words followed. I was falling asleep when my deceased dad’s voice told me to “get up and write this down now!” I am so happy I listened!
The next morning I realized I had a formula and went to find the ingredients. I still didn’t think too much of it until my friend called and I told her what had happened. Her reaction was what? You dreamed a formula? You are so weird you don’t even know you’re weird anymore! She looked up an ingredient that I thought was initials and it turned out to be a pore tightener! Now I was paying attention.
Getting It Right
I found the ingredients but had to figure out how to put them together. I tried each new batch on my own face and my skin looked amazing! My neighbor noticed and wanted to try some. She was immediately softer, smoother, younger and glowing! Everyone asked her what she’d had done and soon co-workers and friends were arriving at my door with empty jars asking for some of that green goo. Eventually I needed to charge something, and a business, sent straight from heaven was born.
I finally took my formula to a chemist in its’ cups and teaspoons form, hand written in pencil, no less. He’d been in the skin care business for years and wanted to know where this unique formula came from. I told him and he loved it! After extensive testing, he was amazed that bacteria didn’t grow in the formula, and didn’t charge me a dime. Talk about a blessing!
He said that my receiving this vision was Divine Providence. We spoke on the phone regularly and every single time he’d marvel at the formula, again and again saying he’d never seen anything like it. He was as excited as I was!
I finally had enough money to place the order with his lab. When I called and asked for him, I was told he’d passed away three days earlier. I barely made it to his funeral an hour later and sat in the corner sobbing. This lovely man had done so much for me out of the goodness of his heart and now was gone just as we were getting started.
