We had the good fortune of connecting with Jhenny Favelus and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Jhenny, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
The thought process around starting my own business was simple: Finding a way to help as many women as possible feel good in their skin and regain their self-confidence. I have a formula that worked and, making it available to other moms, was the least I could do. Throughout my journey though, I fell in love with my business and it does not feel like work at all. I actually can’t wait to wake up every day and do what I love the most.
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Fave Creations offers skincare that is packed with vitamins & minerals that are essential for keeping your skin looking & feeling healthy. What sets us apart is that I have walked in our customers’ shoes. I started this business because my son Gabriel was born with severe eczema. And I could not find products gentle enough yet efficient enough to keep his flare-ups at bay. I know what it means to see your baby being uncomfortable and miserable while you feel defeated because you cannot help them. With the help of dermatologists and other skin experts, I crafted a formula that really works, I told myself that all moms deserve to know about this. As a matter of fact, I started by giving my product away to mom friends, and coworkers. It worked so well for them that they encouraged me to market it.
I am very proud today to have helped countless women find a way to heal their damaged, sensitive skin as well as their babies’. My pride comes from a place of service.
Challenges are present at every step of our journey. I see them as growing pains. But working hard, praying, keeping an open mind, and always aiming to perfect our products help us overcome them.
Among the things I have learned along the way is to never stop learning. The minute you do that, you are stagnant and doomed.
I want our customers to know that Fave Creations is a brand that understands all of their struggles. We know the itching, burning, social isolation, anxiety, and depression that dry skin and eczema bring. We have lived it and we have the solution for it.
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to give a shout-out to Mellonie Warren. She was my first business coach. I met her at a time when I was depressed and did not know where to start with my business. she took me from a very dark place to an enlightened one.
The second shout-out goes to Melanie Druery Allen, my second business coach, and my mentor. She took my business to the next level. She redid my branding and taught me marketing strategies to help drive sales and earn the trust of my customers.
