As a valued Brand Ambassador and a key member of the Shapermint Crew, what inspired you to join this journey with us?
I was initially drawn to Shapermint because of its empowering message and commitment to promoting body confidence. I felt a natural alignment with the brand’s values, as I’m passionate about embracing self-love and showcasing attainable beauty. Being part of the Shapermint Crew was a perfect opportunity to be part of a community that uplifts women and celebrates all body shapes.
What do you enjoy the most about being part of the Shapermint Crew?
What I enjoy most is the supportive and inclusive community that Shapermint has built. From meaningful connections with fellow ambassadors to exciting and fulfilling campaign opportunities, Shapermint has created a space where everyone’s voice is valued. It’s incredibly rewarding to collaborate with a brand that not only empowers its ambassadors but also actively fosters a sense of belonging and purpose. Being a part of the Shapermint Crew means being part of a sisterhood that celebrates self-expression and body positivity every step of the way.
What does self-love mean to you, and how do you practice it in your daily routine?
Self-love, to me, is about accepting yourself fully, flaws and all, while embracing the journey of growth and self-improvement. I practice self-love by incorporating small, mindful rituals into my daily routine, such as starting my day with a positive affirmation, taking time for skincare, and moving my body with intention. It’s about making time for yourself and acknowledging your worth.
How do you balance self-care with the demands of your career?
Finding balance can be challenging, but I’ve learned to prioritize self-care by scheduling it like an important meeting. Whether it’s a quiet morning with a cup of tea, a 15-minute meditation, or a long walk, I make sure to carve out time for myself even during hectic days. It allows me to recharge and show up as my best self in all areas of my life.
What advice would you give to someone struggling with body confidence and self-acceptance?
Be patient with yourself and remember that confidence is a journey, not a destination. Small changes like wearing pieces that make you feel good, practicing positive self-talk, and tuning out negative noise can help shift your mindset over time.
Surround yourself with positive influences and don’t be afraid to redefine beauty on your own terms.
How has Shapermint contributed to your journey toward self-love and body confidence?
Shapermint has contributed significantly to my journey by providing a platform that champions realness and body acceptance. Initiatives like the BodCon conference and Breast Cancer Awareness campaigns have opened up important conversations that extend beyond shapewear, focusing on self-acceptance and health. These initiatives have helped me feel more confident in my own skin and allowed me to connect with others who share a similar journey.
How have Shapermint’s products influenced your daily life and professional image?
Shapermint’s products have elevated both my daily wardrobe and professional image by providing comfort and a polished look without compromising on style. They’ve helped me embrace my figure and express myself more confidently, whether I’m dressing up for an event or lounging at home. These essentials have become a staple in my closet because they make me feel empowered and poised.
How has being a Shapermint ambassador helped you connect more deeply with your audience?
Shapermint has helped me connect deeply with my audience because it has given me the opportunity to show up as my true and authentic self. I love helping other women feel more confident, and as I’ve gotten older, I’ve seen shapewear in a new light. What was once perceived as something meant for “older women” has now become a staple in my wardrobe. I used to struggle with shapewear that lacked support and structure, but now I can confidently share products that work for me and make a noticeable difference. Being transparent about my experience has made me a go-to resource for my followers, and showing up authentically has not only strengthened our connection but also built trust in my recommendations.
What message do you aim to share with your followers through your partnership with Shapermint?
I want my followers to know that beauty and confidence come in all shapes and sizes. Through my partnership with Shapermint, I hope to inspire them to embrace their uniqueness, prioritize self-love, and feel empowered in their own skin. The goal is to create a space where everyone feels seen, heard, and celebrated.
Which Shapermint product makes you feel empowered to celebrate your shape, and how do you like to style it?
The Shapermint Essentials All Day Every Day Scoop Neck Mid-Thigh Bodysuit is my go-to product that makes me feel confident and empowered to celebrate my shape. I love pairing it with the Essential High-Waist Leggings for a sleek, polished look or styling it with the All day Everyday High waisted Shaper Shorts for a seamless fit under dresses. It’s incredibly versatile and has become a staple in my wardrobe!
