While pregnant with her first child, shocked by how many toxic ingredients were lurking in everyday products, and after trying dozens of natural mineral sunscreens, Arielle Moody was determined to create one that 1) didn’t make her immediately want to wash her face, and 2) didn’t leave a white cast on her skin. Oh, and it needed to be something she looked forward to using daily. No biggie.

As Mama Sol’s product development whisperer, Arielle has been immersed in the beauty industry her entire adult life. Starting as a beauty sales trainer for Smashbox, Dr. Perricone, and Bite Beauty, then rising to become the head of product development for Skinn Cosmetics and, most recently, the head of sales for a leading cosmetics packaging and formulation company, she’s always known one thing—that she would one day create her own product, something truly different that had never been seen before.

00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:10.199
Hello, everyone, Welcome to today's Word of Mom Radio Here

3
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:13.240
on the Word of Mom Media Network. I'm your host,

4
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:16.239
Dori Di Carlo, and you know we are here week

5
00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:20.600
after week, show after show breaking those myths that morepreneurs

6
00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:24.039
and business women, especially those of us building our businesses

7
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:26.640
from home, that we're not just dabbling in between bake

8
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:28.280
sales and getting our nails done.

9
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:28.839
We're not.

10
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:32.359
We are smart, we are savvy, and we are sharing

11
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:35.560
the wisdom of women in business and in life. And

12
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:39.079
I'm really excited about bringing today's guests into the show

13
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:42.960
because I love mom made products and the reality is

14
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:48.679
women start with why. While pregnant with her first child,

15
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:53.880
docked by how many toxic ingredients we're lurking in everyday products,

16
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:58.840
and after trying dozens of natural mineral sunscreens, Ariel Moody

17
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:03.000
was determined to create one that didn't make her immediately

18
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:06.640
want to wash her face, and two one that didn't

19
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:11.200
leave that white cast on her skin. Oh and it

20
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:13.599
needed to be something that she looked forward to using

21
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:20.280
daily No Baby. As Mama Soul's product development whisperer, Ariel

22
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:25.400
has been immersed in the beauty industry her entire adult life,

23
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:30.480
starting as a beauty sales trainer for Smashbox, Doctor Parcone

24
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.879
and Bite Beauty, then rising to become the head of

25
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:38.400
product development for Skin Cosmetics, and most recently, the head

26
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.319
of sales for a leading cosmetic packaging and formulation company.

27
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:46.480
She's always known one thing that she would one day

28
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:50.920
create her own product, something truly different that had never

29
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.599
been done before. And I have to tell you, because

30
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:58.079
I have used Mama's Soul, your sun care product is

31
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:01.159
awesome and I can't wait to talk to you about it.

32
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:04.319
So with all that being said, Ariel, welcome to Word

33
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:05.040
of Mom Radio.

34
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:09.120
Wow, thank you, Dorry. I'm really excited to be here.

35
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:10.759
That was a great intro.

36
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:13.360
It's fun to hear all that stuff about you. It

37
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:17.800
is Oh yeah, I thought I did that. I really

38
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:22.960
want you to take us on your journey. And really, seriously, Ariel,

39
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:26.680
what inspired you to start your own sun care brand?

40
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:31.039
Yeah? I mean you mentioned it a bit, but I've

41
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:33.879
been in the beauty industry for over fifteen years, and

42
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:40.080
I saw how unregulated the beauty industry has been, and

43
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:44.039
I would see, you know, the owners putting in ingredients

44
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.319
and moving it around on the ingredient deck so that

45
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.520
it looked like it was higher up or lower down

46
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:55.319
to deceive the customer. I really believe in transparency. And

47
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:59.199
when I worked for Bite Beauty, their tagling kind of

48
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:01.840
was it needs to be is so good that you

49
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:03.879
could eat it? Kind of you know, the ingredients have

50
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:08.240
to be so good. So that really inspired me in

51
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:13.000
my subconscious I think about how I wanted to create

52
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:17.199
my own brand and bring something to women, moms and

53
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:21.520
really families, men or women that they could trust. And

54
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:24.639
that was really important to me. And so the light

55
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:26.960
bulb went off when I was five months pregnant with

56
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:31.639
my first son and I like just could not find

57
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:33.840
something that I wanted to use. And I think the

58
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:36.879
biggest thing was that sunscreen was the most toxic of

59
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:40.520
all the categories that I was researching, and people don't

60
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:44.199
really know. So I really wanted Mama Soul to be

61
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.400
a sanctuary, a place where people could go and just

62
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:49.719
trust and know that they don't have to do the homework,

63
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:51.280
that I've done it for them.

64
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:52.280
I love that.

65
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:58.960
And again, women start with why, And so as you

66
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:03.520
were developing this, what sets you apart from the other

67
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:06.919
so called I'm gonna do finger quotes. You know, natural

68
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.240
products on the market, and what kind of challenges did

69
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:11.520
you face because of it.

70
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:14.919
Well, I want to explain the difference to your listeners.

71
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:17.800
What the differences between chemical and mineral sunscreen, because I

72
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:21.759
think a lot of people don't know. So chemical sunscreen

73
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:27.120
has to absorb into your skin and it's it is

74
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.000
more likely to end up in your blood stream because

75
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:34.079
of that, right, So mineral sunscreen in order to work,

76
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:36.360
just you put it on sits on top of your

77
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:40.560
skin as a physical shield and it reflects the rays

78
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.600
off of your skin. It's much less likely to enter

79
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:47.800
the blood stream. So what had alarmed me when I

80
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:53.480
was doing my research was particularly the ingredient oxybenzone, which

81
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.360
was in about ninety percent of sunscreens on the market

82
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:59.399
at the time. An oxybenzone was found in breast milk.

83
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.480
It can cause skin allergies, cell damage, all the things,

84
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:05.879
and I think that really added to the fear mongering

85
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:11.199
around sunscreen. I don't want to discourage anyone from using sunscreen,

86
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:15.000
whether it's mineral or chemical, but you should know the

87
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:17.600
difference and you shouldn't be able to make an educated

88
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.639
decision I just want you using it because it's really

89
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:25.920
important to use sunscreen every single day. So yeah, I mean,

90
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:28.360
that's that's what I would say. And then I also

91
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:33.600
would say a lot of brands say that they're mineral

92
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:36.759
because they have mineral sunscreen like zyncoxite in the formula,

93
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:41.560
but they also have you know, octanoxy octasoliate, ava been zone.

94
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:45.519
There's a lot of different chemical sun screens that they'll

95
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:49.720
use in addition to mineral sunscreen, and so sometimes it

96
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:54.040
can be deceiving. I've seen ads saying mineral sunscreen that

97
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:56.000
doesn't leave a white cast, and then I'll see it's

98
00:05:56.040 --> 00:06:00.240
loaded with chemical screens as their active ingredients, and so

99
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:02.959
I say to myself, well, that's why there's no white cast,

100
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:07.839
because you're using all those chemicals. We're using really advanced

101
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:10.839
zinc oxide right now, so it doesn't leave a white cast.

102
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:13.160
But the point I want to get across is when

103
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:14.759
you look at the back of the bottle and it

104
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:17.680
says active ingredient, it should only if you want to

105
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:21.920
use mineral, it should only say zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.

106
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:23.399
Otherwise it's chemical.

107
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:27.279
These are important things for people to know because again,

108
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:32.680
you hear so many conflicting things, and people put all

109
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:37.639
natural on their products, and how do they get around

110
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:39.639
that areal because.

111
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:43.680
Well, natural doesn't really have a definition base and everyone

112
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:46.839
makes up their own definition, and so we don't really

113
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:49.639
call ours all that like, that's not how we define it.

114
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:53.920
We say we're a mineral sunscreen brand. And so our

115
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:56.879
job is to educate the public to the differences. And

116
00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:59.399
I will say one of the biggest differences is this

117
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.879
mini podcasts myself and I interviewed a world renowned dermatologist

118
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:07.279
named doctor Kilgore, and he had said to me something

119
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:10.600
that I didn't even know, which was that ava ben zone,

120
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:16.120
which is a chemical filter, is likely to degrade in

121
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:20.399
the sun, and so it's not photo stable, which means

122
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:24.720
that it's not giving you the best UVA protection. And

123
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:31.160
so zinc oxide is the safest use of UVA protection

124
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:33.680
in the United States that does not degrade in the sun.

125
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:38.879
Again, information that I did not know. And I try

126
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:43.920
to really do a lot of research on things. It's

127
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:45.839
funny my niece was saying to me. I was telling

128
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:48.319
her how proud I was watching her with her kids

129
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:51.120
and all their organics and stuff, and she said, you

130
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:55.279
started that, yeah, thirty years ago, and so I was

131
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:59.920
always looking for those things that were the most natural,

132
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:04.519
the healthiest things like that. So creating all of this,

133
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:07.680
I know that part of it was kind of making

134
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:12.279
that luxury of self care. Yes, because it is a

135
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:15.879
wonderful thing. Self care is not selfish, ladies in hell,

136
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:17.560
it's really important.

137
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:19.439
Yeah, how did you go about that?

138
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:24.160
Yeah, that's a great question. So I, until Mama Soul,

139
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:27.680
had never thought of sunscreen as being part of my ritual,

140
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:30.519
part of my self care ritual. I like to say

141
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.879
one of our taglines is if sunscreen and a spot

142
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:37.320
a had a baby, you get Mama Sol. And I'm

143
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:39.759
a busy mom of two and when I'm getting ready

144
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:44.240
in the morning, I really want to have a moment

145
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:46.799
with myself, and so how do you do that with

146
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.759
a sunscreen? So I thought, what is the most calming

147
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:56.120
scent that there is? Right, it's lavender. Lavender essential oil

148
00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:59.919
has a ton of skin soothing benefits and it's all

149
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:04.799
so very sinsorial. We use a very small amount, a

150
00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:08.480
subtle hint of lavender essential oil in our formulas. Men

151
00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:11.960
love it, women really love it. We're in sold in

152
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:14.840
places like the Four seasons, and they'll do an inhalation

153
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:17.480
experience before they put it on the client so they

154
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:22.799
can really feel and smell this sunscreen because it's so

155
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:26.720
different than anything you've ever smelled before, and so it's

156
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:30.840
there to encourage deep breathing as well as protect you

157
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:34.360
from the sun. And so not only that, but the

158
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:38.200
formulas are packaged in beautiful packaging, right, So I'm really

159
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:42.000
into sustainability and our face on screen in our lips

160
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:45.240
lip one hundred percent mineral tinted lip oils with SBF

161
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:50.399
are in glass, and then our body Brella SBF forty

162
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:53.879
is packaged in one hundred percent sugar cane tube and

163
00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:56.759
so we want not only to be sustainable, we want

164
00:09:56.799 --> 00:09:58.399
it to be beautiful so that you keep it on

165
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:01.600
your vanity and it's there as a reminder to use

166
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:02.240
it every day.

167
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:05.840
I can attest to the fact that they are lovely

168
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:09.440
and they work, thank you, and they work really well.

169
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:13.720
And it's funny. I've been using sunscreen three hundred and

170
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:18.440
sixty five days a year since I was fourteen, amazing.

171
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:19.399
Because of my mom.

172
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:23.080
They didn't know anything about the chemical stuff in the sunscreen,

173
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:26.480
but I laughed, my.

174
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:27.799
Niece and my cousin.

175
00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:31.039
They're like, you should show people your chest because my

176
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:33.120
niece looks at me and she's like, on Dory, I'm

177
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:36.960
twenty eight and your chest is actually nicer than mine.

178
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.120
Wow, that's accomplishment.

179
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:44.360
Susan Lucci and her microdermabrasion. When I was nineteen, I

180
00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:46.840
saw a commercial about it and she was talking about

181
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.000
the decoletage and that women forget. So ladies, when your

182
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:52.600
sun screening your face, don't forget your neck and your chest.

183
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:55.559
I'm so glad you just said that I had a

184
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:58.519
facial and that I'll never forget what the astition said

185
00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.679
to me. She said, boobs en up, and that means

186
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:05.240
everything up above the booth. You have to put your

187
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:08.440
whole skincare routine. And so ever since I heard that,

188
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:11.360
I have diligently put it all over my neck and

189
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:14.519
declte and including my face. It's such a good reminder.

190
00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:15.279
It really is.

191
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:17.360
And you know what I mean, I'm very proud of

192
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:19.440
my John sixty four amazing.

193
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:22.919
I've done nothing. You know, I haven't had anything done.

194
00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:27.399
This is me, But again it's because I sunblock, I

195
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:30.720
wear hats. Your face is your calling card. It's the

196
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.000
first thing people see and I don't want to wear

197
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:33.799
face makeup.

198
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.240
I know sunscreen is the absolute number one best way

199
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:39.360
to prevent skin aging. That is for sure.

200
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:40.559
It really is.

201
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:44.519
And again, you want something that's actually good for your

202
00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:49.120
skin while you're doing it, giving it the benefit both ways. Yes,

203
00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:52.320
and it's interesting. I really did not know that some

204
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:55.240
of the sunscreens really degrade.

205
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:59.080
They do the sun. Yes, I this is the thing. Again,

206
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:03.799
I don't ever want to demonize a chemical sunscreen. I'm

207
00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:08.759
pro sunscreen. That is just my stance. But again, you

208
00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:11.279
should know the difference. And I would love to tell

209
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:14.000
your listeners just a little a few of the accolades

210
00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:16.480
we've recently received, because I think it will make them

211
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:18.720
really excited to use our sunscreen.

212
00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:20.519
I would love for you to share that.

213
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:21.320
Yeah.

214
00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:24.399
So well, first I'll say this, all of our formulas

215
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:27.240
have been clinically tested on over one hundred people, fifty

216
00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:30.399
percent of whom have sensitive skin. We've had zero skin reactions.

217
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:34.279
That's number one. Number two. So our Phase sunscreen is

218
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:37.600
a three to one. It's your SBF, your daily moisturizer,

219
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:40.279
and a skin smoothing makeup primer all in one. So

220
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:43.279
it really it takes away the need to have to

221
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:47.919
use a moisturizer. This is your moisturizer. It also protects

222
00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:50.879
you from blue light from your screens and devices, which

223
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.960
causes hyper pigmentation, and the irras, which is the heat

224
00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:58.320
you feel from the sun, which can exacerbate malasma. So

225
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:03.240
this is a premium sunscreen, and it is a multitasking sunscreen,

226
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:05.039
so you don't have to use so many different things.

227
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:08.720
Harper's Bizarre voted it top ten sunscreen for sensitive skin,

228
00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:11.840
and Women's Health voted it best for dry skin. And

229
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:14.399
then I'll quickly say this about the other two. So

230
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:18.519
our body Brella last month or actually yes, last month,

231
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:23.960
just one Best Body SBF by Shape magazine, and our

232
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:28.600
tinted lip oils SBF twenty just one Best lip also

233
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:31.360
with SBF from New Beauty. And then we just found

234
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:33.559
out they want another really prestigious award, but I'm not

235
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:36.240
allowed to mention what it is because I'm under embargo

236
00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:39.320
for the next two weeks. So I really hope that

237
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:44.240
your listeners will be excited about using sunscreen, because sunscreen

238
00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:46.320
is so much better than it used to be.

239
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:49.360
I am so excited for you.

240
00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:49.919
Thank you.

241
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:50.320
Funny.

242
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:52.399
It just took my granddaughter to this store. We bought

243
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:55.080
little pump poems. I wish I had the palm poms.

244
00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:56.440
I'd be shore right now.

245
00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:57.039
Thank you.

246
00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:57.399
You know what.

247
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:02.720
Mom to mom and busyess owner to business owner. It's exciting.

248
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:10.840
It's exciting to see a mom made product create that

249
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:13.840
kind of buzz, to get those kind of accolades.

250
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:14.879
I'm so proud.

251
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:18.159
Thank you. And we are self funded. We're bootstrapped, guys.

252
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:21.480
I mean, this is all like blood, sweat and tears.

253
00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:24.799
We do not have a big investor. This is you know,

254
00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:28.840
just my partners and I putting all of our funds

255
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:29.879
in to make this work.

256
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:31.639
I love it.

257
00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:35.120

And we're back here on Word of Mom Radio. We

280
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:06.679
are talking with Ariel Moody, who is the founder of

281
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:11.320
Mama Soul. I am so excited to hear all of

282
00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:15.960
the fabulous awards and ratings that you are getting from

283
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:22.480
top name places that people know and trust. Good for you,

284
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:27.919
I mean, really, it's an amazing accomplishment, Ariel, it really is.

285
00:16:28.279 --> 00:16:30.919
Thank you, Dory. It's been a lot of hard work

286
00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:35.480
and it's not been easy, but I'm so thrilled to

287
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:39.000
say that our sales year to date have exceeded all

288
00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:42.200
of last year's sales. And you know, this is just

289
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:47.039
a testament to no matter what happens, no matter how

290
00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:51.399
many knows, no matter how many stepbacks, how many formula reiterations,

291
00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:53.039
I've had to do, all the things that I have

292
00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:55.440
had to do to make this work, it is if

293
00:16:55.480 --> 00:17:01.039
you believe in something and you are passionate, you can

294
00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:03.480
make anything. You can make your dreams come true. I mean,

295
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:05.279
and that's you know where we are today.

296
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:10.079
I want to actually talk about that with you, because

297
00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:15.359
before we started we were talking about manifestation and everything else.

298
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:18.599
I want you to tell us how a psychic reading

299
00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:25.160
was part of all of this, and how those manifestations,

300
00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:30.559
how you are doing this and making this happen, making

301
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:31.559
this your reality.

302
00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:37.039
I yeah, that's thank you for reminding me about that. Yeah,

303
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:42.279
I had a psychic reading. It was before my kids

304
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:46.160
were born. I was knew I wanted to start my

305
00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:49.039
own business, but I had no idea what it was

306
00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:50.440
going to be. I knew it was going to be

307
00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:52.720
in the beauty industry. I thought it'd be in makeup.

308
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:56.079
I started my career out as a makeup artist. I

309
00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:59.119
had no idea that it would be a sunscreen brand.

310
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:02.799
So psychic reading. And she says to me at the time,

311
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:07.559
and by the way, I was sketching eyeshadows and the

312
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:11.519
colors and the names of them during right before this reading.

313
00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:13.799
So I'm convinced at this point it's probably going to

314
00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:17.720
be in makeup. And she says to me, you were

315
00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:23.079
going to start a clean skincare brand, and it's going

316
00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:25.319
to be very successful. She goes, I see it on

317
00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:28.880
Access Hollywood. I see it across all the magazines. I

318
00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:31.759
have all the notes written down from this recording, I

319
00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:35.680
mean from this reading. And we were on Access Hollywood

320
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:41.319
three weeks after we launched our first products, and I

321
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:43.720
was like, wow, she really hit the nail on the

322
00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:48.440
head because I was so far off of what I

323
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:53.039
actually was ended up doing. So yeah, that's that just

324
00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:56.079
made me feel like I was aligned. I wouldn't say

325
00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:59.200
that it made me do what I did. It made

326
00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:01.519
me feel like, wow, like I'm on the right track.

327
00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:04.720
Manifestation is a whole other thing. By the way, So

328
00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:11.160
I got into manifestation about I want to say a

329
00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:14.759
year and a half ago. It has now become my religion.

330
00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:17.400
I meditate every single morning for the last I want

331
00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:20.400
to say two months, I've been meditating every single month religiously,

332
00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:24.160
because that was something I added to my manifestation routine.

333
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:31.160
So it started with the book Infinite Possibilities by doctor

334
00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:35.799
Mike Dooley, and it was life changing for me. It

335
00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:39.680
taught me all about manifestation and the ways in which

336
00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:44.720
you can manifest. Infinite Possibilities is really about envisioning the

337
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:47.960
feeling that you want to feel and not the outcome.

338
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:52.039
Not because then if you're for example, if I really

339
00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:54.200
wanted to let's just give an example, I really wanted

340
00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:57.200
to get into sofa, I was focused only on so

341
00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:01.359
for nothing else, I'm limiting the abilities to get into

342
00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:03.960
all these other places that might be much better suited

343
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:07.079
for me. Who knows, right, I'm so far as of course,

344
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:10.119
a goal of mine down the road. But if you

345
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:13.000
focus on the way you want to feel, and you

346
00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:16.319
envision your products on the shelves, or your clothes hanging

347
00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:18.599
up in the store, whatever it is, that whatever business

348
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:21.440
that you're doing, it will attract it to you if

349
00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:25.160
you actually can visualize it and you actually feel the emotions.

350
00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:28.880
So feeling the emotions and changing the way you think

351
00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:33.000
is really what I've been practicing the most. So now

352
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:39.480
I'm reading a book called Becoming Supernatural by doctor Jo Despenza.

353
00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:43.720
It is very science backed, so anyone who's not a believer,

354
00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:48.680
it's actually based on physics, but it's so interesting and

355
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:52.359
it's helping me with my meditations and getting me deeper

356
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:58.240
into my meditations. And when I started really practicing manifestation,

357
00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:02.599
that is when the opportunities started pouring in. I would

358
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:06.240
open my inbox every single day and something wild would

359
00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:09.839
be in there, like orders that I had forgotten about,

360
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:12.039
or you know, accounts that I'd forgotten about that I

361
00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:14.640
had followed up with months ago. Just started reaching out

362
00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:16.240
to me saying I want to place an order, and

363
00:21:16.279 --> 00:21:17.759
I was I'd be like, oh my god, I haven't

364
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:20.240
reached out, you know, followed up with them for three months.

365
00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:23.920
They just randomly started reaching out to me. And you

366
00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:26.880
you kind of become a magnet when you do this

367
00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:31.160
practice and opportunities flow in and you don't have to

368
00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:36.839
work as hard. You the opportunities find you. And it's

369
00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:37.720
changed my life.

370
00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:43.200
I agree with manifestation. And as you said, when you

371
00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:45.960
were just thinking about Sepphor, you're limiting yourself.

372
00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:46.640
That's right.

373
00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:49.799
On the flip side. You know you have to have

374
00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:53.359
your intentions there, you do. You need to know your

375
00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:56.480
intentions because you can't manifest.

376
00:21:56.759 --> 00:21:59.279
That's right. If you're all over the place. You have

377
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:01.440
to be very clear. So, like, I'll give you an

378
00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:03.960
example of something I did that actually came to Fruition,

379
00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:07.880
which was really crazy. I wrote in my journal for

380
00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:12.279
three days, I am so grateful for ten thousand dollars

381
00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:15.119
in sales. This was years ago when we first launched,

382
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:17.680
and I wanted to achieve our first ten thousand in sales.

383
00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:20.519
And I wrote it down for three days in a row,

384
00:22:20.799 --> 00:22:23.599
thirty three times, I said. And I didn't put an

385
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:25.160
end date on it. I didn't put a time. I

386
00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:27.319
just said I am so grateful for the ten thousand

387
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:30.839
in sales we did and I really felt it when

388
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:33.640
I was writing it. Well, the next month was our

389
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:36.440
first ten thousand in sales. And I will just say this,

390
00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:38.559
we were not even close to doing ten thousand in

391
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:41.279
sales before I started doing this. This was a huge

392
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:43.839
jump in sales. So when this happened, I was like,

393
00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:45.880
oh my god, I'm a wizard.

394
00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:47.240
I did it.

395
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:51.000
The world is very magical and the universe can be

396
00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:54.000
very magical. You just have to really believe it. So

397
00:22:54.240 --> 00:22:57.240
I can't recommend it enough. If you're struggling, if you're

398
00:22:57.279 --> 00:23:00.119
feeling like things are just getting really hard and you

399
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:04.039
don't know why, highly recommend picking up a book and

400
00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:05.000
learning more about it.

401
00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:08.200
I agree with you, and I'm going to say to

402
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:12.240
you out there, everyone out there who is telling themselves, Oh,

403
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:15.279
it's too tough and I just can't do it.

404
00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:16.960
I can't make this happen.

405
00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:21.119
Don't believe it. Don't believe those words.

406
00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:23.319
I would say. The best piece of advice I ever

407
00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:26.880
got was like, don't wait until it's perfect, just.

408
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:30.920
Do it absolutely. One of my favorite quotes is from

409
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:34.559
Henry Ford. Whether you think you can or you think

410
00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:39.440
you can't, you're right. And that's the whole thing. And

411
00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:41.279
it's that little red engine. I think I can, I

412
00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:42.920
think I can. I thought I thought it could, I

413
00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:45.279
think I got out and begin. That's what it boils

414
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:50.079
down to. Don't give up, don't give up. You can

415
00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:54.720
do this, and believe in yourself. Take that time to

416
00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:58.880
you know, it's that business plan. If you try to

417
00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:01.799
do a business and don't of a business plan, you're

418
00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:05.359
gonna eventually get there. It's like driving cross country, yeah,

419
00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:08.559
west and south west, and eventually you're gonna get there,

420
00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:10.400
but you're gonna go places that you don't have to go.

421
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:13.119
That's right as opposed to having that business plan.

422
00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:17.359
It's the same thing with manifesting. Yeah, pick your goal,

423
00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:21.319
you know what it is, and keep you can do it.

424
00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:25.119
You can make this happen. I love having you here.

425
00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:28.839

out how to make something happen.

440
00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:18.880
Yeah, I would say one of my favorite quotes that

441
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:22.680
I live by right now is whatever you desire is

442
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:27.799
destined for you. I want you to believe that whatever

443
00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:31.279
it is that you want, you can have it. You

444
00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:32.319
just have to believe it.

445
00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:37.799
What a great way to end this conversation. Ariel's podcast

446
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:42.160
link is also going to be in the liners. Listen

447
00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:46.160
to a podcast you know me. I love sharing fellow podcasters,

448
00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:49.119
I really do. I'm looking forward to hearing it because

449
00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:50.720
I can't wait to hear what you have to say.

450
00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:53.559
And as somebody who has tried the products you know me,

451
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:56.599
I never put a product on the show if I

452
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:02.200
haven't tried it first, because I want to always be authentic.

453
00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:05.440
It's a really good product line, it really is. You're

454
00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:09.480
going to be really happy with it. So treat your skin.

455
00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:13.920
It's your skin. It's really important to take good care

456
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:17.680
of it. So, Ariel, thank you so much for taking

457
00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:19.640
the time to be here. It has been quite a

458
00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:23.480
journey finally getting us together with this totally.

459
00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:27.599
I'm so happy to have been here. Your questions were amazing,

460
00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:31.200

from Smith's Sisters and the Sunday Drivers. So till next time,

465
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:47.279
This is Dori de Carlo saying, go out and create

466
00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:49.480
a marvelous you. Bye for now.

467
00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:55.240

She is she is you. She sure of herself. Yees,

she takes care of it. Powerful and strong. Yes, she

knows who she is, has integrity, woman, strong and true.

476
00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:28.839
You know her by name.

477
00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:33.000
See this woman is you. She is sure, she is strong,

00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:59.519
adds value and hope has proved to be brave. See

484
00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:03.359
it's never too late, never time to behave. Reaching for

485
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:08.079
dreams doesn't matter. The age believes in herself, unleashed from

486
00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:11.119
her cage. She is sure, she is sure, she is strong,

487

00:28:24.880 --> 00:28:30.039
