Meet the Lipes

Nicole — Founder & Chief Bubble Maker

Nicole is the creator behind Lipe Luffa Co., where cozy scents, happy colors, and everyday self-care collide in the most delightful way. What started as a spark of creativity in her kitchen has grown into a joyful little brand built on fun, family, and making people smile — one bubbly moment at a time.

She believes showers should feel like tiny vacations, soap should never be boring, and small businesses can spread big joy. With a love for playful scents, clean(ish) ingredients, and products that turn routines into rituals, Nicole pours heart, humor, and a whole lot of intention into every batch.

When she’s not knee-deep in bubbles or planning the next launch, she’s busy loving on her people, dreaming up new fun ideas, and spending quiet time in her Bible.

Founder, maker, storyteller, and believer that self-care should feel fun, not fancy — Nicole is here to bring a little magic (and a lot of bubbles) into the everyday.

Chad — “Mr. Lipe Luffa” & Leather Craftsman

Chad’s real job is serving in the U.S. Army, but when he's off duty, he's always looking for ways to "piddle" he is very talented in all things craftsman and he creates all the handcrafted leather pieces for our shop.

Around here, he’s affectionately known as Mr. Lipe Luffa — a title he pretends to protest but secretly enjoys. He jumps in to help when needed, offers steady support, and proudly accepts payment in form of whatever misfit bars we have on hand.

Nash — Creator of Nash’s Nutty Putty

Nash is the brain (and messy hands!) behind Nash’s Nutty Putty — the squishy, stretchy, awesome putty that helps him focus, calm down, and get his big ideas out into the world.

Since putty helps his ADHD brain feel great, he wanted to share it with other kids too — because everyone deserves tools that help them shine.

And Nash isn’t just here to make cool stuff… he’s here to make a difference. He gives 10% of every sale to help build wells in Africa, so kids around the world can have clean water.

Part slime-scientist, part world-changer, and 100% big-hearted kid making the world better — one putty at a time.

Emberly — Founder of Glam! By Emberly

Emberly is the sparkle, style, and sunshine behind Glam! By Emberly — where lip gloss, glam goodies, and confidence are always in stock.

She loves making people feel happy, shiny, and fabulous, and she believes there’s no such thing as “too much sparkle.” (We’ve checked. She’s right.)

Future beauty CEO, current makeup obsessed 7 year old, and believer that every day deserves a little glam.

Shadow — Chief Happiness Officer

Shadow is our loyal Golden Retriever and full-time cheer squad. His official duties include supervising soap-making from the comfiest spot in the room, greeting delivery drivers like they’re long-lost best friends, and reminding everyone that snack breaks are essential to productivity.

He specializes in tail wags, morale boosting, and quality-control sniffs (very professional). Shadow also takes his role as Chief Happiness Officer seriously — because every good day starts with love, sunshine, and a little golden fluff.

Employee compensation: belly rubs, treats, and unlimited “good boy” affirmations.
