We had the good fortune of connecting with Alicia Adelusi and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Alicia, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
i wanted people to start putting themselves first because nobody can love you more than yourself. As someone who has gone through the journey of self-love and started to realize how important it is to love yourself. So I thought why not start with a spa box where you can love yourself in the comfort of your home, where you can really just relax and rejuvenate your mind body and soul. Picking only natural products that will help you feel beautiful and loved.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I have a bachelors in Healthcare Administration, I have always had interest in health care. I have suffered from depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. It took me years to realize that I didn’t need to pretend to be someone else. I started meditating and slowly with the help of BTS, I know it sounds crazy but with their music, it made realize that its okay to be sad and express my feelings. It was hard to change my mind set but with continuous practice it became easier to love who I was as a person. I have learned that nobody can love me more than me and I can express myself and still be loved. I want people to understand that you can be yourself and if the people around say mean things to you that hurts your feelings or self-esteem then they are not the right people to be around. I let go of everything that does not make me happy and I started to look at life more positively.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Well I am a home body, which means I prefer staying indoors and relaxing. First thing we would do is relax at home and catch up order some pizza and watch a movie. Next it would be a day at the spa get a manicure and pedicure, then grab a smoothie from smoothie king. Next we would go to Panama City to go to the beach and to do some outdoor activities, stay at the W hotel then head down to Orlando and go to sea world then go shopping while we are there, then head back.
