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

Hi Sthefany, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I’ve always wanted to start my own business and be my own boss. At the beginning of 2021, while I was 5 months pregnant, I made it my goal to finally start my own small business and take a leap of faith despite getting ready to have my second child and still going through a pandemic. I wanted it to be something that would empower women and help women feel more confident… and that’s where Bella Aura came about.

Bella Aura represents the beautiful energy that surrounds you when you wake up, go to work, walk into a room, or a night out. I’ve always thought that jewelry exists to express your individuality and accentuate your personal style in a unique way, so I wanted to give the every day woman affordable, high quality jewelry pieces that they can wear and feel beautiful, no matter the occasion.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Bella Aura is meant to enhance the beauty in women and elevate your personal style. All of our jewelry pieces are designed with quality, long-lasting materials for the every day women at an affordable price, so we can look good and not break the bank!

I am most proud of finally launching my small business all while having a new born baby. Going from one to two kids was a really hard transition for me, but I had to learned how to prioritize my time and be consistent, make sure I showed up every day. It wasn’t always easy, some days you can really question yourself as an entrepreneur and the support from family and friends always keep me going,

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My kids are always my biggest inspiration in everything that I do. I want them to grow up and know that they can do or become anything that they want.

My husband, family and friends have been my backbone through this entire process and helped me so much. Their support have been so important, specially on those days that we most need it. They always encourage me and remind me to believe in myself.

Last but not least, I would like to give a huge shoutout to everyone who has purchased a piece of jewelry and is part of the Bella Aura community. Your support truly means the world to me and I couldn’t be here without you.
