A desire to make people look and feel beautiful

-

The number one thing is my desire to make people look and feel healthy and beautiful. I have the zeal to provide a facility that would guaranty health and longevity, make people less dependent on orthodox medication for minor health issues. I want people to enjoy what seems to be luxury to many whereas they are simple things of life.

Again, I recognise and appreciate good quality service when I walk into a place, and I wanted to provide same to others as well. I love ‘luxury’, I like to eat healthy, relax, feel good about myself and wear good quality perfumes and make up. I look at the mirror a lot and I always look forward to loving what I see. I just wanted to share some of the things that make me happy with the world. I believe people should enjoy these little things of life every single day and not have to look back to see what they had missed out on. If you think I am sounding vain right now, let me remind you that vanity is all part of living.

I had a very happy and fun-filled childhood. I am the fifth child in a family of six siblings. My dad was a highly principled and discipline­d civil servant and my mum was a very lovely, beautiful, hardworkin­g and caring teacher who also had her small business by the side to make extra income. It was a close-knit family. My parents tried to make sure we felt loved and cherished, never forgot our birthdays: they’ll send us birthday wishes no matter where we were and they still do till date. My sisters and I weren’t really allowed to go out that much. In fact, we wouldn’t even attend simple birthday parties except if my parents knew the celebrant.

I must have developed my interest in beauty and make up during my childhood days. I have an aunty who lived in England, she still does. She was an agent to Avon cosmetics and she’ll come back from London with some cosmetics/make up items and I had lots of them to try out and play around with. However, my mum influenced me a lot and inculcated many feminine characteri­stics in me. She always emphasised on good grooming, personal hygiene and insisted we wore our makeup in a way that we looked brighter and not different.
