Meet Christeenia Smith-Peart

We were lucky to catch up with Christeenia Smith-Peart recently and have shared our conversation below.

Christeenia , thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights and lessons with us today. We’re particularly interested in hearing about how you became such a resilient person. Where do you get your resilience from?

I often say my resilience has deep Jamaican roots! Growing up with a single mother (in my younger years, my stepdad ,who I call dad, came in later on)taught me the true meaning of hard work and determination. My mornings started with the sound of her hustle; she’d rise before dawn, get my sister and me ready for school, and then send me back to bed for a few more winks. It was like a masterclass in commitment—she was the ultimate multitasker, juggling work and family with grace. Those early lessons instilled in me a strong work ethic and the ability to bounce back from challenges. So, you could say my resilience is a blend of my mother’s unwavering spirit and the vibrant culture of Jamaica!

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

At Regal Allure Glam, I am passionate about creating handmade, natural haircare, bodycare, men’s grooming products, and home fragrances that reflect the beauty and vibrancy of my Jamaican culture. The most exciting aspect of my brand is the personal story behind it; I began this journey to find gentle, effective solutions for my twin girls who struggled with eczema. This deep-rooted motivation drives me to craft products that are not only nourishing but also celebrate the rich heritage of the islands.

What sets us apart is our commitment to using natural ingredients, ensuring that every product is safe and effective for all skin types. I take pride in my unique formulations, which are inspired by traditional Jamaican remedies and infused with the essence of our culture.

I’m thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of a new line of home fragrances this summer, that encapsulate the warmth and spirit of Jamaica. These scents are designed to bring a touch of island paradise into your home, creating a serene and uplifting atmosphere.

Stay tuned for special events and promotions as we continue to grow and share the magic of Regal Allure Glam with everyone. Join us in celebrating self-care rooted in love, culture, and nature!

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Reflecting on my journey with Regal Allure Glam, three qualities that have been most impactful are my love for reading, my deep connection to Jamaican heritage and folklore, and my resilience.

1. Love for Reading: This passion has been instrumental in expanding my knowledge about natural ingredients, formulations, and business strategies. I encourage those starting out to cultivate a reading habit—whether it’s books, articles, or online courses. This will not only enhance your understanding of your craft but also inspire creativity and innovation in your products.

2. Jamaican Heritage and Folklore: My cultural background has shaped the essence of my brand and infused our products with authenticity. For anyone early in their journey, I advise you to embrace your unique background and experiences. Draw inspiration from your culture, stories, and traditions, as they can provide a powerful foundation for your work and help you connect with your audience on a deeper level.

3. Resilience: Building a business comes with its fair share of challenges, and resilience has been key in navigating those obstacles. My advice for aspiring entrepreneurs is to cultivate a strong mindset. Embrace failures as learning opportunities and stay committed to your vision. Surround yourself with supportive individuals, and don’t hesitate to seek help or mentorship when needed.

By cultivating these qualities, you’ll not only enhance your skills but also create a brand that resonates with authenticity and purpose. Your journey may be challenging, but the rewards of passion and perseverance are truly worth it!

All the wisdom you’ve shared today is sincerely appreciated. Before we go, can you tell us about the main challenge you are currently facing?

Currently, the number one challenge I’m facing at Regal Allure Glam is generating consistent sales and traffic to my website. To tackle this, I’m actively working on a rebranding strategy to refresh my brand’s identity and make it more appealing to potential customers.

I’m also focusing on enhancing my social media presence, which is crucial for reaching a broader audience. By creating engaging content, including videos for my YouTube channel, I aim to showcase the benefits of my products, share my story, and connect with my audience on a personal level. This not only helps in building brand awareness but also fosters a community around my brand.

Additionally, I’m seeking to collaborate with brand ambassadors who resonate with my values and can authentically promote Regal Allure Glam. Their influence can help amplify my reach and credibility, driving more traffic to my website.

By implementing these strategies, I hope to create a sustainable flow of traffic and sales, ultimately allowing Regal Allure Glam to thrive. It’s a continuous journey, but I’m committed to adapting and growing to overcome this challenge!
