I grew up watching old Hollywood films. Watching Gregory Peck (swoon!) romance Audrey Hepburn. Or the mesmerizing way Grace Kelly made James Stewart melt with her beauty and delicate manner. 

I grew up with the most glamorous mother a girl could ask for. She was a former model and consummate lady. From the way she walked, spoke and dressed she dripped fashion, elegance, charm and beauty. It captivated little Aarti. I wanted to do that. Be that. 

A lot of what I practice today, comes from her.

I used to be a nerdy, be-speckled, gangly teenager who was teased for looks. Oh yes, sweet reader, I had braces, was very quiet and always had my nose in a book. It took me years to get out of that comfort stage and into sophistication, pageants, and an entire world of beauty and elegance.

But it was my mother that was my biggest cheerleader and coach. And without her my glamorous transformation journey would have been a lot harder.

As a certified professional makeup artist, graduate of an English finishing school, former pageant queen and holder of a a Bachelors and Masters degrees in both Behavioral Science and Psychology, I am uniquely qualified to empower women to reclaim their softness, curate beauty and glamour and employ soft power for the ultimate life and career leverage.

I can be your coach and biggest cheerleader. I did it. And you can too. Now it's your turn, darling.
