We had the good fortune of connecting with Alicia Christine Cleveland and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Alicia Christine, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
An important factor behind the success of my brand is the integrity and the process of my creations. The idea and foundation of my brand “Promises to Care” is to connect you back to the earth. To be able to create a skin care product that will energetically bring you back to yourself and nature, should be made with integrity, love, intention and healing.
To carry this intention with my business has created an internal success with “Promises To Care” and have allowed that success to be reached to all of the people and customers that are on their self love journey and/or looking for something new and innovated in the skin care industry. I will forever be grateful for my own journey and will keep that feeling of successfulness with sharing my gifts in my heart.
What should our readers know about your business?
I grew up having sensitive and dry skin which will flare into eczema breakouts. Feeling ashamed of my skin I would cover it up even during summer seasons. Towards the end of my college career, I no longer wanted to feel entrapped or uncomfortable in my skin, I could do not find the right product that was safe and in alignment with my new holistic path.
I then began to apply my new lifestyle changes with my skin. I no longer wanted skin-irritating dyes & fragrances, brands that weren’t ethical and or sustainable.
So, I started making my own herbal conscious remedies in the kitchen, I started it for myself & seen great results, ears later it became a business.
Promises to Care was birth from consciousness and cohesiveness with Mother Nature and all the beautiful things you can learn from plants.
Since starting Promises To Care it has been a whirlwind of many different things.
A lot of my struggles was trying to keep my intentions alive and full but also allowing things to be universally relatable.
I boxed my brand and mission a lot to fit what “skincare” looks like. It was a lot of comparison that would distract me from the reason I started. I truly love to talk about the mental and emotional waves that can exist within owning and running a business, especially growing one by yourself.
However staying empowered and keeping my intentions alive.
I am so happy for where Promises To Care is now and staying consistent with sharing that vision with the world.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I love this part. I would first shout out my daughter she was the one who gave me the courage and strength to go after the goal I have had in my mind for so long. She gave me a breathe of fresh air and the willingness to be an example of horning yourself and your gifts. I would Love to shout out my Mother Della Cleveland, she has been such a great example of versatility, perseverance, and support. She has truly been the voce in my head that will always remind me to do what I wanna do if I’m gonna do it with all I got.
To my partner, my family and friends I am so appetitive for all your support and love and honesty Promises To Care will not have been where it is if I dint have my community sharing Promises with everyone.
