MY STORY
I’ve had issues with my skin and self confidence my whole life… as a child growing up in sunny Sarasota, FL (right by siesta key, for those of you who aren’t familiar) I was the big girl, plump and taller than most in my class. So it didn’t help that I constantly wore jackets and jeans to cover up my uneven , bumpy skin.
My grandmother used to cover herself in creams and lotions, and when I say cover, I mean completely greased up like a butterball turkey w/ the glaze. Even in her 80’s her skin was beautiful, I tried to use every single product I could (medicated and otherwise) but nothing helped MY skin.
I was with her in her final days, moisturizing her skin and brushing her hair, just like I knew she would do if she were able to. After she passed, I often found myself doing the same things for me as a way to feel closer to her, this was the first time I really cared for myself, I even started saying positive affirmations while doing it. a few months later, on my birthday, a new life journey was born.
I started researching oils and butters and mixing a million things up in my kitchen like I was on top chef 🤣 and in the process of all this, I found love and appreciation for myself.
See, I was a plus size model before this, I chose that path to help other women find their voice and love themselves but my self love was only skin deep. So when AquariusbyDesignCo came to be, I was craving real depth in my life. I’ve put more love and care into this business than anything else and because of that, I know myself and my products will help the lives of so many others craving change and inner peace.
So I’ll say this and I’ll be done with my emotion speil:
THERE ARE SO MANY OF US OUT HERE, WHO FEEL UNSAFE, TERRIFIED TO BE OUR AUTHENTIC SELVES BUT IS IT WORTH LOSING YOURSELF JUST FOR SOMEONE TO LOVE YOU FOR WHO YOURE NOT?
