I'm Just a Girl!
A girl who can’t go anywhere without her lipgloss.
But like lip gloss, what’s a girl without her mirror. Right?! I often found myself applying my lip gloss in my car mirror, a friend’s sunglasses, or having to excuse myself to go apply in the restroom. That’s when the idea was born.
Outside of waiting tables, I worked closely with many manufacturers to perfect the craft of Glow Gloss's famous bottle with a mirror and light. However, it’s what is in the inside that counts, right?!
I threw on my lab coat and worked alongside trusted cosmetologists to create a silky smooth formula I was finally pleased with and can proudly call my own.
Finally released in 2024, Glow Gloss has been a beauty destination for innovative, organics, & luxury lip gloss that our customers can love and trust. Never leave a girl or her lips in the dark again...This is just the start.

My Goal for Glow Cosmetics:
As a female small startup business owner, my goal for Glow Cosmetics extends far beyound nourishing lips. I want to use my platforms to inspire confidence, spread positivity, & get deep while having fun and being creative! I’m going to vow to you all now that I’m going to vigorously fulfill this goal by being my most transparent self with you all, hoping we can grow a comfortable community where you all feel you can do the same!
My Up-Bringing/ Inspiration:
I am a daughter and a sibling of 3 beautiful sisters. I grew up watching my dad constantly create. He would have an idea and quickly turn it into reality- he always told me, dream it, draw it, make it.
I was stuck on the dream it part for a while... probably far too long.
Looking back on my “dream it years,” I was so naive. I still had so much growing to do and plenty more hardships to pass before I could be someone who could confidently educate and influence others at the hands of a company.
So honestly, I’m glad it took this long. With time, there was so much growth, and due to that growth, I feel ready now more than ever.
What I was doing in my "Dream It" Years:
I left college. It wasn’t for me. I moved to South Florida, where I had a little too much fun. I became a waitress at a lively and happening restaurant there. I flirted with the idea of starting Glow Gloss (but didn’t do enough about it). I lost myself but then found myself again.
I unexpectedly lost my beautiful sister and best friend, Grace Livingston Miller, in March of this year. That changed everything. My perspective on life, on myself, my drive, the way I share love…everything. Losing her shook me. Working on Glow Gloss wasn’t only an outlet to the start of my healing/grief journey; it was a way to make Grace proud. I wrote more about Grace and the tremendous influence she had on Glow Gloss and myself on my personal social page. However you must know this much; it is because of her and her courage that I am here now, finally launching my dream- graduating from it being just a dream and turning it into my reality.
OOF...That was a lot of writing; now let’s Glow!
