Vanilla Bliss Boutique began as a way to give a homemade gift to my family for Christmas, but then I soon realized that I had made something utterly delicious and wanted to share it with the world...or at least northern Illinois.

Born also from my love of baking decadent desserts, Vanilla Bliss Boutique is all about bringing pure, high-quality vanilla into your everyday moments. Our products are crafted to deliver richer, more balanced flavors than you’ll find on store shelves.

What started with vanilla extract has grown into a full line of treats and self-care delights—vanilla bean sugar and monk fruit sweetener, shower-ready vanilla bean sugar scrubs, and “cookies in a jar” featuring our signature sugar.

Whether you’re baking something sweet, sprinkling sugar over your favorite breakfast, flavoring your morning coffee, or treating yourself after a long day, Vanilla Bliss Boutique has just the thing to make life a little more delicious.

“Sweetening life with a dash of vanilla bliss.” 

A mother of 2 and former high school teacher, I've been living in the Rockford area since childhood.  I took a leap into Cottage Foods by specializing in vanilla products in 2024.  I started doing farmer's markets and craft fairs in the summer of 2025, and I've found a place to shine.  I've loved sharing my love of vanilla with everyone who's stopped by my booth <3
