Today we’d like to introduce you to Bimala Lima.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Bimala. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I live in Hopkinton Ma I have a big passion for gardening. I started gardening a few years ago. I have transformed wooded land the beautiful garden. I am not sure how you are going to connect my organic hair salon to gardening. But if you are writing about me, I do have a very interesting story to tell you. I came from Nepal in end of 1986 to the US. I was born in village and raise in Kathmandu Nepal. My parents used to grow food to survive. When I was a little girl I always dream of having a home and growing flowers everywhere. That dream took a long time, me and my husband bought a house in April 2013. And moved into this house in May.
The biggest reason why I moved here in Hopkinton because of my illness, I have multiple Chemical sensitivity. I lived in an apartment building in Cambridge Ma. I lived in Cambridge about 26 years, I love Cambridge but after I got MCS I was craving for nature. Every time we go camping or outside I felt alive. This is why we bought this house, the house is small needs work but a lot of lands. I love it. I started digging and clearing right away. This year I finished a lot of digging. It doesn’t mean I am finished, but My garden finally came together how I vision. I still have a long way to go. I put backyard waterfall this year everyone loves it. I would love to share that picture with you. I have few garden parties. You see I am just talking about garden too much. My garden is mostly all organic. Not sure some plants I planted it doesn’t have a sticker saying non gmo or organic. My veggies are all organic. I don’t use any chemical in my garden. I grow a lot of marigolds. It’s different tall one just like in Nepal. It’s funny that I found out my self to this year I could control my rash in hand I had for about 5 years with marigolds. I am so proud of myself what I have accomplished in few years.
My hair stylist job. it’s good I am a very good stylist this is why I have my clients follow me everywhere I go. This past 10 years I have moved to so many locations some of them are tired. I have lost so many good customers. But I am still trying to make it work with my MCS. I can’t even go to regular hair salon and nail salon. I don’t paint my nails. It’s a lot of things I have to be careful with. I have started my hair stylist job in fancy salon in Belmont. I have worked there more than 6 years. And then, I owned a big busy salon in Brookline ma for almost 7 years. I had to sell it I had a financial crisis since then I have been struggling. Then after a year or so I got this illness. Not sure where to end this story. I gave you some information.
