We were lucky to catch up with Vestoria Simmons recently and have shared our conversation below.
Vestoria, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
At Beautynblingxoxo, our mission is to empower individuals to feel confident and beautiful in their own skin while promoting self-care and wellness. Even though I strive for confidence, I understand that everyone, myself included, has moments of insecurity. Through my own journey of exploring the world of beauty and wellness, I discovered the power of self-care and the importance of embracing individuality. I realized that true beauty comes from within – from confidence, self-love, and a healthy lifestyle.
I created Beautynblingxoxo with the desire to empower others to embrace their unique beauty and prioritize their well-being. I want to create products that are not only effective and luxurious but also ethically sourced and mindful of the environment. I believe that true beauty comes from within and that by nurturing our minds, bodies, and spirits, we can radiate confidence and joy.
This mission is deeply meaningful to me because it allows me to share my passion for self-care and empower others to feel beautiful and confident in their own skin.
‘Beauty beyond makeup: We create trendy, nourishing products that make you feel good inside and out. ‘
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
Beautynblingxoxo was born from a passion for self-care that developed during my journey as a micro-influencer. Sharing my love for beauty and wellness with my online community inspired me to create products that aligned with my values. I believe in using clean, ethically sourced ingredients and minimizing our impact on the environment.
Our initial launch, the Nourish and Glow healthy snack mix, is just the beginning. We are excited to introduce the “Bling It On” eyeshadow palette, a collection of vibrant and long-lasting shades that will help you express your unique style. Beautynblingxoxo is all about glowing from the inside out! We make makeup that’s kind to your skin, with awesome formulas that keep it healthy and happy. Plus, we have all the shades you need to unleash your inner glam goddess (or rock a super cute natural look – it’s up to you!).
We believe that self-care shouldn’t be a luxury, but an essential part of a healthy and fulfilling life.
I am most proud of the positive feedback we’ve received from our community even before the launch of Nourish and Glow. People are resonating with the brand’s mission and excited about the products to come.
This has been incredibly encouraging and fuels my passion to bring the Beautynblingxoxo vision to life.
I want potential clients to know that Beautynblingxoxo is more than just a beauty brand. It’s a reflection of my passion for self-care, my commitment to ethical practices, and my desire to empower others to live their best lives. We are dedicated to creating high-quality, meaningful products that make a difference. We champion self-love and the journey of discovering your most dazzling self. We ignite your inner glow and empower you to express your unique beauty story. We’re here to guide you on your wellness journey, one empowered step (and flawless look) at a time.
How did you build your audience on social media?
Building an audience on social media has been a deeply rewarding journey. I started by sharing my passion for beauty, wellness, and all things sparkly with the world. I focused on creating content that reflected my personality – a mix of candid moments, beauty tips, and my love for exploring Kansas City.
I believe in the power of genuine connection. I responded to every comment, answered every question, and truly listened to what my followers had to say. I shared my journey as an entrepreneur, the highs and lows, and learned to see my platform as a space for open dialogue and mutual support.
Collaborating with other creators and participating in local events also helped me expand my reach and connect with a wider audience.
It’s been incredibly rewarding to watch the beautynblingxoxo community grow. I’m grateful for each and every follower who has joined me on this journey.
This experience has taught me the importance of authenticity, consistency, and genuine connection in building a strong online presence.
How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?
One of the biggest pivots I faced was early on in my entrepreneurial journey. I initially envisioned Beautynblingxoxo as primarily a beauty and lifestyle blog. While I enjoyed sharing my thoughts and experiences, I felt a deeper calling to create something tangible – something that would allow me to share my passion for self-care with others in a more meaningful way.
This realization led to the decision to expand beyond blogging and develop my own line of products. It was a significant shift, requiring me to learn new skills, build new relationships, and navigate a new set of challenges.
While there were moments of doubt and uncertainty, I embraced the opportunity to learn and grow. I sought out mentors, attended industry events, and continuously refined my vision for Beautynblingxoxo. This pivot has been a challenging but rewarding experience, and I’m excited to see where it takes me.
