Who is Adrianna Fountaine?
Hello, I am Adrianna....Fountaine :)
My journey began in 2020 when I discovered my love for skincare and fell in love (again) with the art of sewing after my last son was born in 2023. I wanted to create something that not only nourishes the skin but also uplifts the soul. With a lot of planning and prayer, I decided to share my art by starting my own company, Adrianna Fountaine. As a black woman, Community Health Worker and organic gardener, I've always believed in the power of holistic wellness & prayer.
Growing up in Ohio, I learned to sew, crochet, knit, garden and create! This instilled in me a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and the beauty of handmade goods. Each item I create is a labor of love, crafted with care and intention. The pandemic inspired me to start formulating and cooking soap for my family. What began as a simple hobby quickly blossomed into a lifestyle that reflects my love for organic gardening, quilting, and all things handmade. My mission is to inspire others to embrace a lifestyle that values sustainability, slow living, creativity, and self-care. I believe that every choice we make can contribute to a healthier planet and a more fulfilling life.
At Adrianna Fountaine, I offer a selection of products that embody this philosophy. While I’ve moved beyond just skincare, my commitment to quality and thoughtful purchasing remains at the heart of everything I do. I invite you to join me on this journey towards a more vibrant and sustainable lifestyle, where every handmade piece tells a story and every purchase supports a dream. Thank you for being a part of my community! <3

A word about God:
In our fast-paced world, the concept of slow living often feels like a distant dream. However, many scriptures remind us of the beauty and importance of taking life at a slower pace and nurturing our connections with one another. These timeless words can inspire us to embrace a lifestyle that prioritizes mindfulness and community.
One of the most profound scriptures that speaks to the essence of slow living is found in Psalm 46:10, which says, “Be still, and know that I am God.” This verse encourages us to pause, reflect, and appreciate the present moment. In our busy lives, it’s easy to forget the importance of stillness. By taking time to slow down, we can cultivate a deeper understanding of ourselves and our surroundings.
Additionally, Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us, “To everything, there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” This verse beautifully encapsulates the idea that life has its rhythms and cycles. Embracing these natural ebbs and flows allows us to appreciate the journey rather than rush toward the destination. It encourages us to savor each moment, whether it’s a quiet morning with a cup of tea or a shared meal with loved ones.
Community is another vital aspect of slow living, and scripture emphasizes the importance of fellowship. Hebrews 10:24-25 states, “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another.” This verse highlights the significance of coming together, supporting one another, and fostering a sense of belonging. In a world that often promotes individualism, nurturing our communities can lead to deeper connections and a more fulfilling life.
Moreover, Galatians 6:2 encourages us to “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way, you will fulfill the law of Christ.” This call to support one another is a beautiful reminder that we are not alone in our struggles. By taking the time to connect with others, we can create a supportive environment where everyone feels valued and cared for.
Incorporating the principles of slow living and community into our lives can lead to a more meaningful existence. By reflecting on these scriptures, we can find inspiration to slow down, appreciate the present, and strengthen our bonds with others. Let us embrace the wisdom found in these words and create a life that is rich in connection, mindfulness, and love.
Thanks for reading!
