Raquel Lopez's celebrated 20-year beauty career working with industry giants like Sephora, Lancome, and HydraFacial, combined with her experience as a licensed esthetician, has fueled her passion for sharing beauty with the world, empowering both women and men to embrace and celebrate their bodies, and learn to feel at home in their own skin.
In 2018, Raquel was invited on an off-season island getaway with a blazing new flame. "Off-season" meant she hadn't done the get-summer-ready routine we all know too well - and while he thought she was beautiful in every way - she just wanted to feel confident in her own skin. For her, that meant seeing a little less of the lady lumps and lifestyle bumps, and a little more plump.
Unable to find a product to help her at the last minute - and underwhelmed by the lack of information about what was actually causing her lumps and bumps - she whipped up a home-made concoction in her kitchen full of coffee grounds, oils, and butters, and gave her belly, butt and thighs a vigorous fascia-busting massage.
The results were immediate, and the jumpstart to her booty's blood flow kickstarted a thought in her mind. What if boosting circulation, doing a little detox, and getting energy moving was the path to plump, vital, supple skin?
What if there was a way to tell women that they could love, appreciate, and celebrate their bodies while bringing a little bounce back to their backsides?
