At the time, her cousin, aunt, and two friends (still in their twenties) had been diagnosed with cancer. Angela thought, "Even though I knew that a cream was not the cause, I wanted to make a lifestyle change, and for me, it began with a new beauty regiment."
It was hard work but Angela refused to give up; "My discipline as a pianist kicked in, and I became obsessed to find 'perfection.' I experimented 1000 times before being satisfied to give them as gifts to friends. It was an instant hit, and they began to buy the creams as gifts for their friends."
"Just like the moment when my mom plopped me on the piano as a youngster, I haven't looked back since the day we launched."
In fact, less than one year later, her products are being sold throughout the U.S. from Florida to California to Vermont, and have received accolades in more than a dozen magazines and websites including Organic Spa Magazine, Forbes, iVillage, and Allure.
Angela offers, "We take our ultra-sensual ingredients — Caviar, Champagne, and Truffles — and fuse them with organic ingredients to create products that are deliciously sexy and naturally great for the skin."

Website Address: Savor The Success
Savor the Success is a natural extension of Om Aroma. I found myself alone as a female entrepreneur building my company. I had a sales team, employees, and an assistant. What was the next step? I had gotten my college degree in music, not in business! I needed to reach out to peers and respected business women who were going through the same thing to learn from them.
I wanted a network of women who were committed to building serious businesses; who were completely dedicated to beating the odds, and who wanted a supportive community. I also wanted a social networking website that could work just as well as Facebook and LinkedIn - a real tool for getting ahead in business. Finally, I wanted meaningful workshops that helped make my business grow exponentially. If I was going to invest $300 in a workshop, I wanted that to be translated into many more zeros down the line.
I couldn't find such an organization, so I created it in Savor The Success. As business a woman who was building from the ground up, I needed it, and I knew that if I needed it, so did others.
Angela’s Advice to Other Women Entrepreneurs
The biggest lessons that I have learned through business, I actually learned as a concert pianist. When memorizing and perfecting thousands and thousands of notes, it's really the same concept as building a business. In music, if you don't have a strong concept of how you want it to sound-- and I mean every single note-- you are not going to reach your potential. In business, if you don't know exactly what your goals are-- and I'm talking about exact goals-- you, too, can't reach your potential.
The other thing that I have learned is that so many people leave before seeing the success. I am convinced that success is sometimes just around the corner, and yet people don't turn that corner, they turn around and walk away. As a pianist, I had developed a system of making things happen through a cycle: there's a problem, come up with imaginative solutions, act on it, and then Savor the Success. It's a cyclical ball that will become bigger and bigger as you build.
I take at least ten steps a day to reach my goals. Others take ten a month. Some take ten a year. What do you do? It’s all about how you play your game.
