Meet Ashley Aleman | Entrepreneur
We had the good fortune of connecting with Ashley Aleman and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Ashley, why did you pursue a creative career?
Why I pursued a creative career because it allows me to express how I feel. Makeup will always make me feel like I’m expressing myself with colors when I’m painting my face. I always loved makeup as a child makes me feel so girly I love it !!!! It’s only right if I pursue it !!!
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Hello I am Ashley the owner of AshleyCostmeticsLA ! If you are reading this thank you for taking the time of your day to read this article ! God Bless !! I started my small business back in 2021 In May. I just started with eyelashes then I removed them from our website because they didn’t do as good. I started to make lipglosses which got a bit more sales and attention. I’m thinking about bringing back lashes real soon. My business brings me allot of passion and excitement. I love how my business gets noticed and inspires others to start there creative path. I love being interviewed and love putting articles out because it helps me with not giving up on my days where I’m not doing as well mentally!! Where I am today business wise is I never gave up most importantly even on the days I wanted to I never did never will !! Over coming challenges with having a small business is pretty rough sometimes. When you have no sales you feel like you’re doing something wrong or don’t feel the best. Creatively you may have no ideas some days and that’s fine. Just go outside for inspiration or do anything you enjoy doing in this beautiful life. Im still learning how to run a business it is still new to me I am not perfect no one is (-: ! Just keep going and stay believing in your self no one can tell you nothing.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend was visiting Los Angeles I would take them to the beach , mountain views , bowling and out to dinner at West Hollywood. Also the club or bar for a little bit of fun !
