My Scar Tells My Story

By Yasmil, Founder of MYJ OrganYKZ

When people see the scar on my neck, they often ask me what happened.

The truth is, my story didn't begin with my neck.

It began the day a truck crashed into the taxi I was riding in.

After the accident, I lived with constant pain in my right shoulder. I kept hoping the pain would go away, but it never did. Eventually, I went to an urgent care clinic because I couldn't live with the pain any longer.

I wasn't under the care of a regular doctor. I simply wanted someone to help me understand why I was still hurting.

Instead, I was referred to a neurosurgeon.

I remember feeling scared and confused. No one really sat down with me to explain what was happening or why surgery was necessary. I was simply told that I needed surgery and that if I didn't have it, I could die.

I trusted what I was being told because I believed the doctors knew what was best for me.

That decision changed my life forever.

The surgery led to life-threatening complications that nearly took my life. What began as shoulder pain after a truck accident became the most difficult battle I have ever faced.

I spent the next nine months in the hospital fighting for my life.

During those nine months, I faced surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, pain, fear, and uncertainty. There were moments when I felt completely alone, trying to understand what was happening to my own body while simply fighting to survive.

Every day was a reminder of how precious life truly is.

When I finally came home, I carried more than a scar on my neck.

I carried emotional wounds that no one could see.

After months of medications, I developed post-traumatic stress. I reached a point where I no longer wanted my life to depend on medication. I wanted to find another path—one that focused on caring for my body in a more natural way.

I remember making a promise to myself:

"If I survive this, I'm going to learn everything I can about nature and create products I can truly trust on my own body."

That promise became the beginning of MYJ OrganYKZ.

I began studying natural ingredients and handcrafting products with intention, care, and faith. Every formula I created came from my own healing journey and my desire to care for my skin and body with thoughtfully selected, nature-inspired ingredients.

Some of the products I created became especially close to my heart because they remind me of different chapters of my recovery.

One of them is my CHRISOFT Magnesium Soothing Body Cream.

While I was learning how to walk again, I used CHRISOFT as part of my personal self-care routine. Those days were incredibly difficult. Learning to walk again required patience, determination, and strength. Every small step forward meant something to me.

CHRISOFT became part of that chapter of my life and remains one of the products that carries a very special meaning for me.

Then there is my JOMI MSM Soothing Cream, which is also very close to my heart. It represents another part of my journey and my desire to create products that I could personally incorporate into my self-care routine.

And then there is my Chamomile Lavender Face Cream.

This cream became especially meaningful because of the scar on my neck.

As my neck continued to heal, I gently applied the cream every day as part of my skincare routine. The calming blend of chamomile and lavender helped keep my skin moisturized and nourished. Over time, I personally noticed that the appearance of my surgical scar became softer and less noticeable.

While everyone's skin heals differently, this cream became an important part of my daily self-care and a reminder that healing is a journey.

These three products are more than just products to me.

They carry pieces of my story.

CHRISOFT reminds me of the days when I was learning to walk again.

JOMI reminds me of my continued journey toward caring for my body.

Chamomile Lavender Face Cream reminds me of my scar and how far I've come.

Each one represents a different chapter of my recovery, and each one was created from a place of personal experience, intention, and love.

Today, I no longer see my scar as something to hide.

It reminds me that I survived.

It reminds me that even in the darkest moments, faith can carry us forward.

And it reminds me that our greatest pain can become the beginning of our greatest purpose.

MYJ OrganYKZ was born from my journey.

Every handcrafted product is made with love, compassion, and the hope that it can become a meaningful part of someone else's self-care journey.

My scar tells my story.

My products carry that story forward.

Thank you for being part of my story.
