Episode 035: Let's be real - the beauty industry is saturated with influencer skincare brans and TikTok viral products that make you feel like you're in a hamsterwheel trying to stay on top of the newest and coolest hacks and products. The more saturated it's getting, the more intimidating and depleted ($$) consumers are feeling. 

That's why one of our favorite social media follows is @BeautyByAnitza. Anitza's account has culminated from a lifetime passion for beauty and wellness - through navigating battling cystic acne as a teen, competing in 2019's Miss new York pageant, having part-time jobs in the wellness space, and working as a Social Media Strategist in her corporate life. And in today's episode, we talk about how safe spaces CAN exist & wellness does NOT need to be as intimidating, expensive and trendy as today's society makes it appear. & how at the end of the day, your life choices and experiences are truly all intertwined. 

Whether you're a wellness-girlie, or someone whose looking to get motivated ad explore their passions further, this episode is a perfect one for you.
