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

Hi Nicole, how did you come up with the idea for your business?
I started making body butta in the beginning because the lotion that I was using daily changed their formula causing me to start breaking out and itching. My thought process was that I could create a body butter that would have more natural ingredients and smell awesome. I started making the butter and giving it out to friends and family as gifts. One of my friends at the time was going thru radiation and she said it was such a relief for her skin thru her healing process and wanted more, It was then I started working on creating a better formula for retail.

What should our readers know about your business?
I am most excited about Beauty Beats being accepted and liked by so many people. I was anxious in the beginning about if people would enjoy the product. I have repeat customers who always reorder and leave rave reviews so I guess I must be doing something right. I have utilized my degree in Political Science with a Minor in Business when creating the business structure for my company. I have had some challenges when trying to get my business out into the world. With the help of some great influencers from Youtube ; KeikoBeauty and Happystylishmommy giving their reviews I have gained some wonderful customers. Providing excellent customer service is very important to me. I hate when I can’t get any good customer service so I always do my best to make sure my customers are happy.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to shout out my mother Frances Fanning for being my hero and support system thru my endeavors.. She was always there encouraging and uplifting me while I was starting Beauty Beats. So I give a big thank you to her for being my teacher and mentor.
