PLAIN TWP. Oily Mama s Creations started as a stay-at-home mother s bid to supplement the family budget.
Amber Johnson s internet business gained a following, evolved, grew and became more than the family home could handle. In December, Johnson set up shop down the street at 3032 Martindale Road NE.
Johnson calls her business a metaphysical store that offers crystals with healing properties, handmade jewelry, local art and essential oils.
The business name stems from its origin with Johnson selling essential oils online and through social media sites. Customers began calling Johnson the Oily Mama. When she added handmade earrings to her product list, the business became Oily Mama s Creations.
