"Everyday we are realigning ourselves – our skin and bodies – with the rhythms of the earth."
Welcome!
I am Mallory Rose, a certified Airbrush Tan Artist, born and raised in Charlotte, NC.
Becoming a mother has been a life-changing experience for me, filled with emotions and challenges. However, it has also led me to grow and find peace in nature and spirituality. As I turn my passion into a business, I hope to create a community where women can feel supported, understood, and beautiful.
As I was attempting to express my vision, I had the pleasure of listening to a podcast that I have recently become obsessed with, which is centered around gardening. The podcast, entitled "Why Women Grow," is hosted by Alice Vincent and is designed to share stories of Soil, Sisterhood, and Survival. In each episode, Alice engages in conversations with women from all walks of life, discussing topics such as resistance, motherhood, spirituality, saving the planet, and more.
My vision is very much aligned with the themes of Soil, Sisterhood, and Survival, which have been inspired by the unwavering support system of strong, resilient, and inspiring women that I have been blessed to have in my life. As I have shared my journey with others, I have found that many have confided in me about their own experiences, and through accepting support, we have forged unbreakable bonds with one another, creating a sisterhood that is helping us all to survive.
In today's world, self-care has become increasingly important, and many of us are finally beginning to understand that it is perfectly acceptable to take care of ourselves without feeling guilty about it. For me, tanning has always been a part of my self-care routine, whether it was lounging by the pool or beach, using tanning beds (back in the day), or using self-tanner products. However, for the past few years, I have consistently used spray tanning as my preferred method. Nowadays, we are more concerned with understanding what is most nourishing for our bodies, both inside and out.
As I have connected womanhood with the earth, I have become fascinated with learning more about the similarities between our bodies and Mother Nature and how they are interconnected. The similarities between our skin and the earth's soil are particularly intriguing, as both have three layers and a protective top layer, are home to a rich microbiome, and exchange nutrients and gases with the outside world. Additionally, there are six different types/shades of soil, and according to the Fitzpatrick skin scale, there are six different types/shades of skin tones. Our skin is, in many ways, a reflection of the earth's soil.
I would be honored to help you activate the shade that is already meant for you, while also providing you with women's empowerment and skin care products that will keep your skin glowing and exfoliated without being damaged by the sun.
I have great hopes that this will expand into so much more, but that can only happen with your support and trust in me. I am excited to learn more about you and your journey, as well as to build a forever sisterhood together.
Thank you for your time and for your business!
