Hello! My name is Alicia, me and my husband Ryan are the owners of Living Earth Beauty.
how Living Earth Beauty came to be
Living Earth Beauty was founded by a wonderful woman named Jill. She started LEB as a place to share her knowledge, love and passion for for skin care, nutrition and overall health and well-being. She decided to close this particular chapter in her life, and pass her “baby” to us as we continue on the growth of this wonderful company. Many of the blog posts here that you will find were written by Jill and we intend to keep her entries available to everyone as they are all important and very informative.
about myself
I was a home-schooled, un-vaxed, organic food-eating girl raised in Colorado and Maui. Ryan was captain of is basketball team and grew up on processed foods and traditional medicine. Living natural was a way of life for my family, and was something unfamiliar for Ryan. I met my other half at the tender age of 16 and we spent a year apart while he went to school in another state. When I was old enough to to venture out on my own, I joined him in Arizona where we both went to school full time. Ryan studdied finance at Arizona State, and I was at TONI&GUY where I studied all forms of cosmetology. Being in college was a time of just getting through each day, and taking care of my health became a non-priority for me at the time. I graduated and became a licensed professional in Arizona, but it didn’t take long to realize that being in a salon wasn’t really what my heart desired. I was unhappy with my life direction and myself. My diet lacked proper nutrition at that point and I used “professional salon quality” hair products & cosmetics. I had gained so much weight and had so many health issues, it just wasn’t me. Something needed to shift. After a while of this fog I was in, an opportunity came up to work with an amazing wildcrafted skincare line, which was handmade in my hometown in Colorado. We seized the opportunity and took off running on our own business adventures. Together we immersed ourselves in these wonderful products, began a clean diet again, dove into educating ourselves into natural living and cut out all the other things in our surrounding life that were harming our, and especially my health. From anything I used on my skin & hair to around the house, if it wasn’t organic or natural it was thrown out. And guess what? I started feeling better! I started losing weight finally, when I wasn’t really focused on it. I had more energy and this cloud of depression just began to lift away. I felt more alive then I ever had, and my body was starting to heal itself. I had a purpose, and direction now and knew this was the path I was meant to be on and to help others on their own journeys. Everyday is new and humbling. We are always on the path of constant and never-ending improvement.
In June of 2011, Ryan and I were married in Maui, at sunset overlooking the ocean. It was a perfect day! I’m so blessed to have such a deep connection with Hawaii. There is no other place like it. You can just feel the peace and love soaking up through your feet as you “earth” in the sand and listen to the ocean as you drift off to sleep. A year later we got the best news of our lives when we learned we were expecting a baby! And a beautiful, 7 lb 9.2 oz baby girl named Scarlett was completely naturally birthed into this world on January 26th 2013. She is our world of light! Everyday with her is beyond amazing. Motherhood and watching her learn everything is the most fascinating journey I’ve ever been on. I’m so excited to teach her about the power of health & nutrition, have an open mind and to be aware of all the health harming mainstream products, and can help educate others as well.
Shortly after Scarlett was born, we were blessed to have the opportunity to take over Living Earth Beauty from Jill. She wanted to create a new chapter in her life, and so did we. It was a perfect harmony of everyone’s best interests coming together. March of 2013 was the official re-launch of LEB under our new ownership, and it has been such a wonderful journey getting to know the loyal fans and customers as well as the new ones and helping each and every one of you on your own journeys of health and prosperity. I can think of nothing better for me and Ryan to offer the world as we share our own insights and learning’s to everyone in the LEB community and to grow to reach as many as we can! The importance of using clean products is so high and can impact your life (physically, emotionally & mentally) in so many ways. Its time to feel and be the best you you’ve ever been!
What we put on our bodies, what we eat, and most importantly how we treat ourselves… TRULY MATTERS!
