Saying goodbye to our team members is always hard.

Seth has enlisted in the Air Force and will be shipping out and Sequoiah has a new sales job.

One thing for sure, their “essence” will remain and they have been a great addition to our Esseence family.

We wish them the best!

Big thanks to Sweetpea’s Confections for the individualized cupcakes.

We all had a blast at Little League Days at Chase Field. 💥⚾️🏟️

The Dirtbags got to walk on the field and Essence sponsored their ticket and souvenir baseball & bat.

The Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Colorado Rockies 9-1.

Boppy and Papa had an amazing time with Skyler.

“Our flag does not fly because the wind blows it. It flies with the last breath of every soldier who died defending it.”

May we never forget that freedom isn’t free.
