Summary

Hi, guys! This week, we’re taking a stroll down memory lane. Back in 2009, I traveled all the way to China – by myself! – to develop my mom’s first perfume, JR. I’ll take you through my 3-week experience in Guangzhou, I’ll talk about what my mom thought about the final product, and I’ll also share how my mom reacted when she received my $6,000 phone bill – thanks to roaming charges. Plus, I’ll even tell you about the time I met a pair of strangers at the mall there and agreed to a photoshoot!
