For most of my life, confidence felt just out of reach. Even as a child, I carried around a quiet insecurity that whispered its way into adulthood. By 2020, that whisper had become a roar. I stopped caring for myself—not intentionally, but gradually. I gained more weight than I ever had before, and somewhere along the way, I lost sight of who I was. My family barely recognized me. Truthfully, I didn’t recognize myself either.

I started hiding in oversized clothes and in the background of my own life. I didn’t want to be seen because I didn’t feel worthy of being seen. But deep down, I knew I wanted more. I didn’t want to chase some perfect version of beauty—I wanted to feel at home in my own skin. I wanted confidence rooted in self-respect, not appearance.

That desire lit a fire in me. I dove into the world of color, style, health, and self-expression—not to impress others, but to reconnect with myself. Along the way, I discovered how transformational it can be to show up for yourself, both inside and out.

That journey led me to create Perfect Shade of Apricot—a space where transformation isn’t about fixing what’s broken, but uncovering what’s been there all along. I help others find their confidence again, not out of vanity, but out of self-love. Because everyone deserves to become a version of themselves they truly admire.
