Owners of a shop specializing in handmade self-care products are attracting customers from all over the community, encouraging others to pamper themselves. 
Zambo Aroma says they are all about making sure people can feel better. Owners Tree Alexander and Carlton Rolle say they live nearby. 
They say those people are their customers and that’s why they strive to keep prices low. 
Alexander says he realized himself how important it is to take a mental health break--sparking the idea for Zambo Aroma.

"With all the things going on in our household, we found it very difficult to take time to think of ourselves, to treat ourselves kindly and get our hair done and make sure our beards and stuff are taken care of,” said Alexander. 
The shop is located on White Plains Road. They also host workshops about mental health and meditation. 
They say they’re always looking for ways to give back to their community.
