A Fresh Start

In the summer of 2008, Pamela Hines decided she'd had enough of corporate life. She had spent years climbing proverbial ladders, breaking proverbial ceilings, all the while with her proverbial nose fast to the proverbial grindstone. But on her, say, zillionth visit to the Atlanta airport, a young security guard made a statement in passing that would change her life.

As she stood in her camisole and stocking feet, taking her laptop out to put it on the conveyor, the gent manning the security inspections recognized her: "Ma'am, you're back again? You're in this airport way too often." Pamela laughed politely, but was suddenly launched into dazed thought. With his simple statement, she realized a re-prioritization of her life might be in order.
She weighed her possibilities, mulled over what to do next, and sought the counsel of her family only to learn her daughter was simultaneously experiencing the same ideas about revamping her own life. Jackson & Hines was borne of their mutual desires to make enjoying life take new precedence in how they spend their days, and their mission to share that sentiment with all women. We hope at Jackson & Hines to encourage all to remember the joy that comes with knowing you've given the perfect gift, the pleasure that accompanies savoring one of our acclaimed chocolates, the renewal of femininity that's natural in the presence of a fragrant candle or a spritz of perfume, the inimitable relaxation in simply sipping tea while deeply engaging in a good book.

We at Jackson & Hines invite you to relish in these simple joys, to encourage others to do the same, and to behold all of our beauty within.

In addition to our commitment to helping women discover their beauty within, we are also deeply dedicated to harvesting the beauty within our community with a spirit of service and of giving back. For any individual, giving back may be as simple as reading to an elderly neighbor, mentoring a young mind, or participating in a community clean-up day. In our own effort to give back, we at Jackson & Hines use as many local business partners as possible, do our best to create jobs, and make sure a portion of every dollar spent here helps to support local not-for-profits, such as the Women's Foundation of Genesee Valley and the Wilson Center for Cancer Research.
