Today we’d like to introduce you to Natasha McKinney.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Natasha. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
Vivacious Beauty is a direct result of a lifestyle change. It was birth from my decision to go vegan a year and a half ago after I had a health scare at the dentist’s office. After a follow-up visit with my primary care physician, I started really paying attention to what I put in and on my body. I’m a very girly girl, over the top and extra. My thoughts were, how can I still be all those things, vegan and natural? Hence The Vivacious Beauty, vivacious, is defined as to be Attractive, lively and animated (especially of a woman)!!!!! All three elements that I embody. All of my products are 100% natural, organic and vegan.
Has it been a smooth road?
It has been a real challenge for one to start this new lifestyle and really paying attention to ingredients. It has been tough trying to find good vendors, especially online, because you just don’t know what you actually getting. So I only shop local for my ingredients to make sure they are of good quality and organic. This is a little more costly but I prefer it this way to keep my products at a high standard. It’s also a big challenge, especially now with COVID, because some ingredients are not readily available or accessible when I need them.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into The Vivacious Beauty story. Tell us more about the business.
Vivacious Beauty specialize in all things beauty!!! I’m currently known for my herbal V-steam kits. I created a specific blend for myself one day as a result of having hard cycles. I wanted to exhaust every natural possibility before I even thought about a surgical procedure. After a few months, I noticed a drastic change. I shared my findings with a friend, she then purchased a kit from me and it just took off after that. I now offer specific blends like fertility, help with conceiving, aphrodisiac, if you need a little boost in the bedroom, blood building, to help with hard and painful cycles, and cleansing, to aid in ph balance, just to name a few. I also make body butters, bath salts and melts, Yoni oil, Yoni wash, crystal beaded jewelry, sage sticks and much more. All ingredients are 100% natural, vegan and organic. Vivacious Beauty was birth from me, trying to improve my health and self-care routine. Simple ingredients without harming animals or humans.
How do you think the industry will change over the next decade?
I definitely see the Vivacious Beauty being a household name. I would love to open a store so that people can come and try out products and get knowledge on the ingredients I use, why I chose them and the direct benefits they have. So I can say my next big shift is to find a great location to open The Vivacious Beauty.
