Celebrating International Women’s Day

In honor of International Women’s Day, the Vitamin A team gathered for brunch at Mayfield OC. Throughout the morning, we shared stories of the women we look up to, spread love and appreciation for each other and toasted to our community–whose International Women’s Day purchases helped support Women’s Earth Alliance, our 1% for the Planet partner on a mission to protect our environment by empowering women’s leadership.

 

 

Women’s Earth Alliance catalyzes women-led, grassroots solutions to protect our environment and strengthen communities from the inside out. With your help, we were able to donate to their cause and support the vital work they are doing around the globe.

We feel forever lucky to be led by women and work alongside a predominantly female team. We came out of the event feeling more re-energized than ever to continue our mission of empowering women and enabling them to feel their best, all while protecting our planet.

Read on to meet the team, hear who's inspiring us, and get the inside scoop on our favorite Vitamin A pieces.

Greta Thunberg. Her bravery and tenacity bring me hope for the future, and inspire me to teach my own daughters to fight the good fight.

Loving my Biosculpt Mika One Piece. I have it in copper and black, and love it because it’s ultra flattering as a swimsuit, and also as an elevated bodysuit for work.

The gals at Sally Breer World, one of which being my incredible sis-in-law! I love hearing the inspiration and intent behind their design choices. A good reminder to be intentional (in all aspects of life) and not be afraid to be take a few risks.

What woman is currently inspiring you?
My grandma, Esperanza Prado, is the most inspirational woman in my life. Her selflessness is admirable - she always puts others before herself. She approaches the world with so much love and care. Her green thumb can make gardens flourish with just a touch. She’s brave yet tender. I look up to her in so many ways and hope to become as wise as her one day.
