MY STORY

Hi, world! My name is Marcella. I am currently a senior in high school with an interest in psychology.

I have always been passionate about making slime. Growing up in the suburbs, I always felt like there weren't many activities to do. Around the age of seven, I would spend the majority of my time browsing YouTube videos. When I came across a video of an influencer playing with slime, it was like a lightbulb lit up in my mind. Using money I had collected in my piggy bank, I saved up enough to order slime materials. As I became more familiar with this squishy substance, I realized that slime wasn’t just a fun activity; it was a therapeutic outlet!  

When a friend struggling with the loss of her mother had suffered from depression, I gifted her a batch of slime I had crafted. When she needed a distraction from carrying the weight of this loss, she felt that the slime gave her a sense of relief. Acknowledging the impact that slime had on her life, I decided to share this joy with others. Richyslimes was born!
