#ShapermintCrewLove Series: Interview #39

Desiree Floyd is a proud Shapermint Crew Brand Ambassador and vocal advocate for body positivity and self-love. She believes that everyone should be able to embrace and celebrate their own unique shape.

You’re one of our Brand Ambassadors, part of the Shapermint Crew! What inspired you to join the Crew?

I was inspired to join Shapermint Crew because of the brand's overall message to love yourself! Loving myself is something I learned how to do after I became a mother. It is the hardest & best thing you can do for yourself!

What do you enjoy most about being on the Crew?

I LOVE receiving free Shapermint goodies & sharing them with my followers, friends & family! The shapewear is just great quality & affordable!

How do you want to shape change with us?

I think everyone can play their own part in shaping change. For me, I would say showing up online & sharing my personal style, loving my body as is and as it changes. Really showing people that you are cute and stylish at any stage in your journey. You do not have to wait to lose weight to be cute!

How do you define body positivity?

I think body positivity is really personal to each person. For me, body positivity is all about loving yourself as you are and as you change. - Desiree

How does Shapermint help you celebrate your shape?

Shapermint helps me celebrate my shape by giving me that smoothness & firmness I need under my clothes for that extra boost of confidence!

Self-love is especially important. Do you have any particular rituals or routines that spark self-love?

I LOVE doing my makeup! Makeup is an art to me, so giving myself the time to create during my very busy days as a working mom of two toddlers is so important! Buying myself fun & new things to try is my form of self-love!

We absolutely love the fact that you use social media as a liberating force to celebrate body positivity and other movers & shapers out there. Are there any women on social media who inspire you to be your best self?

I love Khloe Kuriatnyk!

What is your favorite Shapermint essential? How do you like to style it?

My favorite essential would have to be the shaping thong! I can literally wear this every day. It is my favorite staple!

When was the last time you tried something new that you thought you couldn’t do? Can you share more?

Recently, I have taken on my first social media client! This is something I didn’t think I could do since I am not professionally trained. But I truly love social media and helping people, so it just felt right! I chose to listen to my faith over fear.

Looking in front of the mirror, what would want to tell yourself?

I am strong, powerful, creative, and kind. I can do everything I set my mind to. This is going to be my best year yet!
