She Made It! Business Spotlights and Product Reviews

She made it: fashion your life

2/27/2021

She Made It is so much more than an online business directory. This page is dedicated to honoring the ingenuity and entrepreneurial fortitude of women. We are celebrating the audacity of women to prosper on their own terms while blazing trails for others who will dare to enter the world of business ownership. It's the brand stories for me! There is not one brand story on this page that has not motivated me in some way. It is my hope that readers, not only find new businesses to support, but that you are impacted in a positive way by the women featured here. Read on to get to know the latest addition to She Made It, Andrea Cameron, wardrobe stylist and founder of the personal styling firm Fashion Your Life.

Andrea Cameron | Fashion Your Life

Intro
I am Andrea, a wardrobe stylist and personal brand stylist. I am also a fashion designer who specializes in custom-made clothing. With over 20 years experience working in the fashion industry all across Canada I now reside on Vancouver Island. I am part of the slow fashion movement, a disruptor of the status-quo, constantly questioning the so called norms. I taught myself how to get out of the perpetual cycle of consumerism and now I help other incredible women uncover and represent their authentic expression of self through their wardrobes.

Inspired by
I've always wanted to have my own business. After graduating from fashion design school instead of following my passion I took the 'safe route' and went to work for someone else. My experience is invaluable for sure but that entrepreneurial spirit never goes away, you know? I decided to study business management part time while I was still working full time, to help me understand the business lingo. While it was certainly helpful and critical to gaining the confidence I needed to run my own business, nothing beats just starting a business and getting to it. Shortly after graduating from my business program I realized I was tired of someone else telling me what to do and how to act, so I finally put myself first and said YES to me and my dreams.

Services offered
My current program is called STAND OUT STYLE which is tailored for women who are bringing their expertise into the online world and want to bring their wardrobe up a notch so they show up with confidence as their unique ass self and stand out for the expert that they are in the online world. I am working on specific types of designs that can be custom made for anyone in the world and I have a library of one-of-a-kind upcycled designs. My website will be updated with these items shortly. I also do alterations and custom design work for my local clients. You can find STAND OUT STYLE at www.fashionyourlife.ca/standoutstyle.

Advice to future fashion entrepreneurs
Always remember that there is room for all of us and we need each other to learn and grow. All too often people in fashion get competitive or comparative and that simply does not work. Most importantly, know who you are talking to and talk to them long enough and often enough that they actually see or hear your message. This will set you apart so get to know them really well and be very specific with how you are talking to them, what you are talking to them about and knowing what they like and where they are. You are an expert in something, the more specific you can be the better. When you doubt yourself, remember your brilliance.

Proud accomplishments
My greatest accomplishment as a business owner has been showing up authentically online and finding the most incredible women along the way, both clients and collaborations. I am a social introvert and I use to shy away and be really awkward online, not knowing what to say or how to say it, not recognizing the value and worth I had to offer. Through loads of soul searching and personal development I have found the confidence to shine and now I help my clients with this as well. What I do is so much more than coming up with an image that matches your uniqueness, it's about helping you shine authentically.

What's next for Fashion Your Life?
I am currently undergoing a rebrand which has been a big project and is about to be revealed. STAND OUT STYLE is a new program and I am super excited about it because it has been designed based on customer research and feedback to provide a truly transformational experience.

TJ Cheeks, owner of Glamorous Eye Candy Cosmetics, is an excellent example of a brand creating long-lasting connections. Called "Glamies", those who become customers of Glamorous Eye Candy cosmetics can look forward to great products, lots of information about the company's products, and an excellent customer service experience. This is a beauty brand that should be on your list. Read on to get to know TJ Cheeks' brand Glamorous Eye Candy Cosmetics.

TJ Cheeks, owner of Glamorous Eye Candy Cosmetics

Intro
Hello! I’m TJ, the founder of Glamorous Eye Candy Cosmetics. We are a complete beauty brand specializing in paraben cosmetics, vegan skincare, vegan and natural speciality soaps, vegan body & bath products, and vegan nail polish. Now, we are so happy to add to our Exclusive Glamie Monthly Spa Box.

Inspired by
I went to a vocational high school where I learned cosmetology as a trade. I had my cosmetology license before my high school diploma. So I was always inspired by the cosmetology industry and wanted to do more than just hair and nails. Six years ago I ventured into starting my own cosmetics line and that is where it all began.

Products offered
Glamorous Eye Candy Cosmetics is our makeup division. As time went on we added another division called Skincare by TJ. Our cosmetic line is very trendy and affordable. For instance, we have our lip kits with a price range $38.00 - $68.00. Our skincare is very affordable. You can try our sample kits for under $25.00. Our specialty soaps gift sets start at $30.00. The introductory price for our new addition, Exclusive Glamie Spa Box, starts at $39.95. We keep our products at a great, affordable price point.

What sets the brand apart
The brand is unique because it is ran by a mom and daughter team. We provide trendy products that appeal to different age ranges, and most of our products are handmade with love and are vegan and cruelty free.

Proud accomplishments
So far my greatest accomplishment has been growing my company to where it is today. It was a lot of trial and error but we have made so many strides. We were on a local television show and our products were demonstrated and advertised. We have been in a few magazines and have been on a couple of radio stations. We even had the privilege to partner up with the Ronald McDonald House where we provided beauty services to families staying there. I even had the opportunity to speak at a local high school’s cosmetology class about my company.

What's next for Glamorous Eye Candy Cosmetics?
We recently introduced our Exclusive Glamie Monthly Spa Box. You receive the spa experience delivered directly to your door. The box includes our exclusive vegan products, spa products, sweet treats, fun guides to making fun drinks and we even curate relaxing play lists and video tutorials on how to get the best use of your spa box. We have so much in store for our spa group. These days we are all so busy with everyday life that we can forget to mentally and physically destress. Our Spa Box will help you reclaim the “me time” that we all desperately need.

she made it: mellow vybes

12/20/2020

She Made It is dedicated to highlighting women who own businesses and their brand stories. My hope is that it will become a go-to directory of women-owned businesses across diverse entrepreneurial sectors and geographic locations. We always celebrate when another business is added. Let’s give a virtual round of applause for one of our latest additions, Mellow Vybes, a trailblazing personal wellness brand. Read on to get to know Tiffany J. Pye and her brand, Mellow Vybes.

Intro
My name is Tiffany. I'm a Hypnotherapist, Life coach, and Singer/Songwriter/Poet. My business is called Mellow Vybes, where my focus is on helping others to work through any limiting beliefs that hold them back from true self-discovery, self-love, and self-actualization.

Inspired by
I became a coach and hypnotherapist because I wanted to help as many people as possible to transcend limiting beliefs and know they didn't have to feel the way I used to; so that they knew how to get out of it. Because THERE IS a way out. I started my business in 2017. It was very different then, but still encompassed self-discovery. I didn't move into the coaching space until 2018.

Services offered
I offer one-on-one sessions. The first intro session is always a fraction of the normal investment at $33. The regular investment is $88. There are also session packages that will give session discounts. I offer a digital wellness project called The Deep Dive that focuses on the development of purpose, self-love, and self-care. This project also comes with an exclusive discount on sessions. Mellow Vybes also offers hypnosis audios, inspirational apparel, and more.

What sets the brand apart
My brand is unique because it counters the popular thought that you have to fit in a box and be one thing. I demonstrate being all things that I am, being authentic and being a soulpreneur where bridging the gap between who you are and what you do is the focus. I've helped people brainstorm moneymaking businesses that get to the heart of what they love. But first, always helping them to move past whatever belief system that has kept them from pursuing goals.

Proud accomplishments
My greatest accomplishment has honestly been the feedback that I receive in my sessions with people. Being able to visibly see the mental shift…it is amazing! A personal accomplishment would be releasing my music as a result of self-hypnosis to get rid of what held me back from doing so.

What' next for Mellow Vybes?
What's next with Mellow Vybes is more partnerships with businesses so I can help more people by teaching classes. I'd like to develop a group coaching program in the future, and also start an after school program to begin healing youth to prevent issues from persisting into adulthood.
