The "Discovery"

A Vision Creates a Blessed Formula for a Face Lift in a Bottle

I was lying in bed languishing in that wonderful twilight that comes just before sleep.  I'd finished my meditation prayers just a few moments earlier.  Suddenly a list of ingredients appeared before my closed eyes on a piece of lined notebook paper as clearly as if I were completely awake and alert.  The ingredient at the top of the list was Icelandic Sea Kelp (I am of Icelandic heritage) and one of the ingredients was something I'd never heard of and didn't know existed.  The "voice" in my head told me to " get up and write it down ".  I was comfortable and almost asleep and did not want to move.  The " voice" absolutely would not take no for an answer and was practically screaming at me to " get up and write it down Now"!  I am very happy that I did.  The next day I went searching for the ingredients.  My friend Yoomi called that evening and asked about my day.  I told her I had " dreamed " of a masque formula including one ingredient I had never heard of before.  She said "You what?  You dreamed about a  masque? Janis, you are so weird you don't even know you're weird anymore!" Fortunately she found the mysterious ingredient in her mother's medical dictionary.  The definition was "a human tissue tightener, used to purify water", etc.  At that moment it hit me like a bolt from the sky.  The formula I had was a gift from God and my Icelandic father, Hannes Arthur, and that it was very special indeed.  I knew without a shadow of a doubt that it would heal people's skin, and that in receiving this gift, I was to make it available to everyone, not only the rich exclusive few.

I had a list of ingredients but quantities and manufacturing instructions weren't specified.  .   For nearly a year, I experimented on practically all my neighbors' faces working to get the formulation just right.  In a short time, they all started looking so fabulous they didn't mind a bit! I didn't have the money to have it laboratory tested, so I left a jar open on my kitchen counter and put a separate covered jar  in the trunk of my car for a year (in the heat of North Hollywood, CA).  When I checked them, I simply had to stir and they were perfect.  Both jars remained stable with no sign of spoilage or deterioration. 

Finally I took the formula to a laboratory in its "teaspoons and cups" recipe form.  The physicist took one look at it and said, "You are not a chemist, are you?" He wanted to know where the formula came from.  I reluctantly told him the truth and explained that nothing in the formula could be changed.  He said he believed that the vision I received was "Divine Providence." For a while we argued about adding preservatives.  Imagine me, who had never taken a chemistry class and who still doesn't know a dram from a tablespoon, having the temerity to tell this chemist/physicist what he could and could not do.  Hilarious!  Of course he thought I was nuts, because it was impossible to believe that it would not spoil.  I begged to differ, and  I was right.

I have many funny stories.  I changed an ingredient and unknowingly created the exploding version of the formula.  I was driving to an appointment with a Beverly Hills investor, armed, quite literally with explosive samples.  Fortunately that wonderful " voice " screamed at me to " turn around and go home ".  This time I listened, thank God, returned home, and rescheduled the meeting.   I was mentally berating myself for not following through with the meeting when I barely touched one of the sample jars.  The lid blew off and stuck to the wall 10 ft. away! My neighbor returned home a while later as another exploded right through the side of a bag and shot across the room, spewing green goo all over the dogs, white sofa and carpet. Wow!  Those exploding samples were to be handed out to the investors' friends!

I was determined to get it right when I had the next investor meeting.  I was convinced that my prospectus wasn't " pro " enough to be examined by the manager of one of the largest stock brokerage houses in the world, so I hired an accountant to redo the spreadsheet.  Meanwhile, once again I changed ingredients.  The formula seemed perfectly fine until I opened a jar during the meeting.  It had turned into stinking, slimy sewage that permeated the entire office before I could get the lid back on.  It smelled like an outhouse in there.    As if that was a horrifying enough, my accountant had neglected to include the month of April in the spreadsheet! What a spectacular impression I made! I finally learned my lesson about changing the formula.  (this sort of behavior may be the origin of "dumb blonde" jokes!). In order to manufacture the SeaMasque™ more efficiently before my first Expo, I made a minor change in the manufacturing process.  Sure enough, the process was quick - with only one minor glitch.  Each jar of SeaMasque™ expelled every bit of liquid in the formula.  Not right away, mind you.  Not until I had 600 jars in my hotel and the show was about to start.  Every jar was ruined, not to mention a hotel room slimed with oozing honey.  A total and complete disaster! It took me hours to clean the room.  What a nightmare! I finally stopped messing with perfection!

So that's the story in a nutshell.

Then came the Formula for the Skin Moisturizer

The formula for Elixir of Minerals ™ Pure Humectant "came" to me as well, but in a conscious, wide-awake state.  Purely Poreless™ Tightening Masque evolved from the SeaMasque™ formula and the search for a skin tightening/face lift masque that worked! I am proud to say that all of my products have value instead of hype and do what I say they will.  I have reams of testimonials from ecstatic customers who have benefited from the healing properties found in these products. Wrinkles, flaccid skin tones, sun damage, blackheads, hard, fish-egg bumps under the skin, active acne, acne scarring, - the list of amazing transformations goes on and on.

I believe my vision was a gift from God and my father, Hannes Arthur Kristjanson, (the most spectacular dad in the world), for whom I named the company.  HANNESDOTTIR means "Hannes' daughter" in Icelandic. I believe what animates all people in life is God and that we carry the divinities within us. I am grateful every day for the gift of a vision that heals and makes people look as beautiful on the outside as they are on the inside.  Without question, my biggest joy and greatest blessings are having the honor of working with my sister and my mom in the business.  Thanks Dad!
