About Anne-Marie Faiola
I’m Anne-Marie. I’m passionate about creativity and I believe it’s essential for everyone. That passion led me to found Bramble Berry Handcraft Provisions in 1998. My passion for business and creating started at a young age; I ran a small business breeding hamsters while in high school and started making and selling soap at 16. I continued selling soap at craft fairs throughout and after college. After the success of selling handmade soap, I recognized this could be an amazing business opportunity for others as well. I started Bramble Berry when I was 20 years old and haven’t looked back.
Through Bramble Berry I’m able to inspire, cheerlead, coach, and lead our 60,000 customers - most of whom are small businesses that sell soap at farmers markets. I believe that handmade is bestmade and that creativity is essential.
My passion doesn’t stop there. I want to learn everything I can about making things from scratch. In addition to business, I sit on a variety of non-profit boards and financially give back to the community. I am also an avid reader and die-hard scuba diver.
I currently reside in Bellingham, WA with my entrepreneur husband (he runs an engineering firm), and two children. My life is full, busy and sometimes hectic, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Success is something everyone wants, yet it often feels elusive. How do
you get it? And once you get it, how do you stay at the top?
This book is a practical guide for achieving what you want in life―and
doing it in a way that doesn’t burn you out, break your integrity, or steal
from your personal and family time. The secret is living a habit-based
lifestyle coupled with a shift in mind-set. Broken down into bite-sized,
achievable pieces, it’s easier than it sounds.
Deliberately designed to be part factual information, part personal-application
guide, and part inspiration for further thought, Best Day Ever
is divided into thirty-five easy-to-digest chapters that will tell you how to
use your power and resources more effectively.
