QUEEN BEE
Welcome to my little hive! I’m Donna Jurczak, the “Queen Bee” of Beauty Sweet Workshop and Humblebee's Toiletries Co., and I’m thrilled to share my journey with you!
Born and raised in the beautiful land of Poland, I was always a big dreamer and inventor, constantly engaged in creative endeavors. My childhood was filled with playful moments—long bubble baths where I pretended to be Alexis Carrington Colby, conducting business with my trusty showerhead, and mixing my mom's luxurious bath salts. These whimsical experiences ignited my passion for creativity, ultimately inspiring me to create a world where children can experience that same joy.
In 1999, driven by a desire for independence and the American Dream, I made my way to the USA and planted my roots in Glenview, Illinois. It was here that I discovered my true passion for working with children and engaging in creative projects that spark their imagination. With over six years in kids’ entertainment and twelve years in cosmetic manufacturing, I’ve dedicated myself to crafting unforgettable experiences that bring smiles to little faces. My background in business and marketing, along with my previous journey as an insurance agent and agency owner, has provided me with the tools to build a meaningful and joyful enterprise.
As a proud member of the OLPH parish, where my husband Dan and I were married, and as a parent of a son in School District 34, I hold our Glenview community close to my heart. I understand the importance of nurturing a supportive environment for our children to flourish. I actively support local groups, scout troops, charity organizations, and schools, and I’m honored to donate regularly to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, championing their vital work in pediatric healthcare and research.
When I’m not busy crafting delightful experiences for children, you might find me getting my hands dirty with DIY home improvement projects, tending to my garden, whipping up delicious meals, sewing something special, or relaxing by my frog pond with a good cookbook or interior design magazine. I believe that creativity knows no bounds, and I’m dedicated to nurturing the next generation of innovators and dreamers.
Thank you for being a part of our journey at Beauty Sweet Workshop! Together, let’s create a vibrant, loving community where children can connect, collaborate, and inspire one another!
