Who I Am
Aloha! My name is Tiea (pronounced tee-yuhh) and I am the woman behind Ambitiously Her! I am from Hilo, Hawai'i located on the Big Island and this is where my small business is based.
My journey into cosmetics was unexpected, to say the least. Until then, my focus had been on crafting artisan soaps and luxurious skin care products tailored precisely to my needs, the preferences of my close circle, and as gifts. But fate had something else in store for me, unraveling a shocking truth that altered the course of my creative path.
Did you know...
In a profound moment of realization, I discovered that our bodies unknowingly absorb countless chemicals every day, inundating us without respite. It was disheartening to realize that makeup, an integral part of our beauty rituals, stood as one of the primary culprits behind this continuous onslaught. This newfound knowledge ignited a fierce indignation within me and an unwavering determination to make things right, not just for myself but also to enlighten others about the urgent need for improvement.
I was shocked by...
As I delved deeper into the captivating world of cosmetics, I was horrified to uncover the grim reality of animal cruelty perpetuated by major beauty brands. Despite the availability of compassionate alternatives, these renowned names continued to subject innocent creatures to inhumane testing practices. The callousness of it all struck a dissonant chord in my soul, leaving me astonished and fueling my fervent resolve to bring about change.
In my journey...
My journey began a few years ago, a personal odyssey filled with challenges and lessons, as I dedicated myself to creating a makeup line that aligns with my unwavering principles. Every day, I sought enlightenment, eagerly absorbing the latest discoveries in cosmetic chemistry. Combining artistry and science, my aspiration is to bring forth a realm of luxury and indulgence where ethical responsibility and unwavering opulence exist in perfect harmony. Join me on this inspiring path and let us create a world of beauty that transcends boundaries and ignites the spark of inspiration within you.
