HI! it’s high time for a current introduction. thank you for being here and believing in CRAFT CHOCOLATE FOR ALL 🍫✨
i’m christine.
🙋🏻♀️👩🏻🍳👩🏻💻founder/chocolate maker/all things camellia chocolates
🥰 themes in my life’s work are joy bringing and connection (the 🍫🍫 is both!!)
HOMETOWN
🌊🌯🌄🌴 SAN DIEGO CA. i grew up there, my mama’s still there, and so are many loved ones. (& bahn thai & pannikin & balboa park)
AND pasadena, ca (birthplace & fam history) and columbia, tn (been here 5.5 years now — our cute sweet town!)
FUN FACTS
🍽️☕️🌇 whether i’ve been to the city myself yet or not, I’ll havs a solid food/coffee/bakery/dessert recommendation for you. (truly. just ask.)
📺🙋🏻♀️ you can catch me and a few loved ones in brené brown’s netflix special, just before the 5 min mark!
👑 i am the cool auntie. there are always rules, and tons of fun, a balance of sugar and veggies — everyone’s content. (and yes, i do accept new applications 😂)
💿>⏯️ a full album listen over a playlist wins for me every day — sequenced, flows as the artist intended. (that’s what you’ll hear at the shop mostly)
CURRENT BREAKFAST
☕️🥜🍌🍯 peanut butter, jam, & flax toast; a sliced banana (half coins, pls) with more pb, a honey drizzle, and cinnamon. (in a month or two, some element of this will be kicked to the curb and never eaten in the same way again.)
SECRET (SUPER HANDY) TALENT
🍲🥘🫙 i choose the perfect-sized & quantity of container(s) for leftovers/a pot of soup/beverages to be stored. EVERY. TIME. it’s very handy at the shop. (and YES, i will come to your dinner party and bring chocolate and then pack up the kitchen)
and now, tell me — what about YOU?!
- full album or playlist?
- precisely sliced bananas or whole?
- your current always-in-rotation meal?
- your secret everyday talent??
- are you as weird as me?!?!
i want to know it all! xoxox
