Skin Ritual Guides

Kristin Joy Michael & Adrian Lamasanu

Blended Rituals was inspired by a life spent exploring cultures, traditions, and the power of simple, intentional living. My husband and I both spent years working onboard cruise ships, traveling the world, and learning from diverse wellness practices. For him, the connection runs even deeper — he was born and raised in Romania, where his grandparents used tallow for skincare long before it became a modern trend. What we discovered through our travels is that the most effective self-care is often the most timeless — rooted in nature and passed down through generations.

​

My personal skincare journey began out of necessity. After struggling with eczema and sensitivities, I grew frustrated with synthetic creams that only offered temporary relief. Discovering tallow — a nutrient-rich ingredient celebrated for its ability to heal, hydrate, and restore — changed everything. It completely transformed my skin and replaced every product I once relied on.

​

Together, we began sourcing grass-fed tallow locally in Texas and handcrafting small-batch blends that honor the traditions we’ve witnessed around the world — and the ones passed down through his family. What started as a personal ritual has grown into Blended Rituals: a collection of skincare made to support every skin type through nature-first ingredients, real nourishment, and meaningful simplicity.
