Hello Bonitas,
I was talking to a friend yesterday, he was giving me feedback on my website and some of my ideas and therefore, I got the courage to write my first post. I always wanted, in fact, I used to dream about writing a book. The truth is, I am Colombian, Spanish is my first language and English, well, it is my biggest challenge. So, when you read my blogs read it with love, I am doing my best here and I am sure you will get me...
Ara Accessories is a dream come true, I always wanted my own business, a business that could offer a handmade, colourful product with a meaningful message. I believe, Ara is the vehicle that will lead me to it.
I am very crafty and originally, I am Architect. I had my own painting exhibitions (in my early 20's), I designed cards, stickers and even tattoos during my university times. I became a mum in 2009 and I left work, I became a full-time mum, during this time, I developed baking skills, mainly cake decorating. My kids' parties were events to die for. I used to make the piñatas, the party bags, everything myself. I am very good at make-up, hair styles, I am good at everything that hands can create. I have this thing for colours, for jewellery, for decorating... It was until this year that I focused on what I am good at (with a little help from friends) and found my real passion, jewellery, fashion and personal stylist. I work for Dunhill before being a mum and some years ago I worked at Hush Uk but in the finance department. It was the buying and the product design that attracted my attention the most. I love inspiring people to dress in a way that will boost their self-steam, their confidence. I believe that accessories can make women look and feel amazing and colour, well colour is what we all need to boost our happiness.
So, here I am, offering affordable quality jewellery with a message, my goal at 46 years old is to help you to love who you are now because you are unique and valuable. My motto is "The only thing that will make you happy is being happy with who you are... Ara Accessories will add colour and spice to your happiness."
You must be thinking why I mentioned my age, let me tell you, I got lost during the time I was just a mum, it was hard to go back to a full-time job in an office, I started to believe that the only thing I was it was a mum and even the best mum. I forgot to love myself first, everyone and everything was first that me. It was only until the end of last year (2021) that I pay attention to the crisis I was experiencing in silence, it took me few months to rebuild myself and to start loving who I am now. You can be surrounded by million people, but you feel alone. I don't want you to feel like that, because you are not alone, I want you to feel good about yourself and if accessories do the job, why not?
It's never too late to believe in yourself, it's never too late to work on yourself and definitely, it's never too late to work on your dreams.
