An Inspired Chat with Kionna Ashley & Kristin Niles of Atlanta

Kionna Ashley & Kristin Niles shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.

Kionna & Kristin, it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: What are you being called to do now, that you may have been afraid of before?
As a duo Kristin and I have both been called to do things that we never thought we would be doing before. Since the last time you all have spoken to us, Kristin has become mother and I (Kionna) have enrolled Esthetician school. Which are very big changes! I feel like these life changes has matured us and made us stronger business entrepreneurs.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hello, lovely readers! My name is Kionna, and I am thrilled to introduce you to our natural skincare company, where we embrace the beauty of nature to nurture your skin. Alongside my partner Kristin, we’ve embarked on a journey to create products that celebrate the essence of natural beauty while delivering effective, nourishing skincare solutions.
Our story began with a shared passion for holistic wellness and an appreciation for the power of nature. As a recent esthetician school enrollee, I’ve developed a deep understanding of skin health and the importance of using gentle, effective ingredients. Kristin, now a proud mother, brings invaluable insights into creating safe and nurturing products for all skin types, including those with sensitive or delicate skin.
What sets our brand apart is our commitment to transparency and sustainability. We source our ingredients responsibly, ensuring they are not only kind to your skin but also kind to our planet. Each product is crafted with love, using high-quality, natural ingredients that are free from harmful chemicals and synthetic fragrances.
Currently, we are working on expanding our product line to include more targeted treatments and customizable skincare solutions. Our goal is to empower individuals to embrace their natural beauty and feel confident in their skin. We believe that when you nourish your skin with the goodness of nature, you unlock a radiant, healthy glow that is uniquely yours.
Thank you for joining us on this beautiful journey. We hope to inspire you to embrace your natural beauty and find joy in taking care of your skin. Let’s celebrate the power of nature together!

Okay, so here’s a deep one: What breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
Over time, relationships require nurturing and attention. Neglect can occur when one or both parties stop putting effort into maintaining the connection, leading to feelings of being unappreciated or unloved. Making a conscious effort to prioritize and nurture the relationship can reignite the connection. This includes spending quality time together and showing appreciation for one another. By embracing empathy, patience, and respect, anyone can foster enduring relationships.

What fear has held you back the most in your life?
The skincare industry is highly competitive, with new brands and products emerging daily. The fear of not being able to stand out in a saturated market is ever-present. For a natural skincare business, this means constantly innovating and finding unique ways to highlight the benefits of our natural ingredients, ensuring they resonate with consumers who have countless options at their disposal.

So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
One of the most biggest myths is the belief that “natural” automatically equates to safety and efficacy. While natural ingredients can be beneficial, they are not necessarily safer than synthetic ones. Some natural ingredients can be allergens or irritants that cause reactions with certain skin types. It’s crucial to evaluate the safety of an ingredient based on scientific evidence rather than its origin alone.

Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
This answer for us is short and easy. We would immediately stop taking time for granted. Furthermore; enjoy our time with our friends and family.
