My Story

I'm Emeri Charlip an ordinary girl from Michigan. "Oridinary" you might think is not really the truth. I have grown up my whole life with an older sibling who has struggled with addiction and that has not been fair to me or my family. I created Smile for Awhile to spread this awarness that addiction is a terrible thing but it can get better. My line of products will hopefully make you smile while being able to support familes like my own. These storms can suck but just keep smiling :)
