Meet the Author, Shel Pink
Author of the book Slow Beauty and The Slow Beauty Journal online. Founder and visionary leader of SPARITUAL beauty brand.
When I was a child, many years before holistic lifestyles became mainstream, my mother instilled in me the importance of an organic diet, regular massage, alternative healing methods and the minimization of toxin exposure within our environment. It had always been a way of life, so embracing yoga, meditation and Ayurveda during my college years was a natural extension of the principles which grounded and shaped my thinking.
In 2004 I founded SPARITUAL inspired by conscious, clean beauty, spa culture and the art of Slow Beauty. We are a sustainable, vegan beauty brand based on the rituals of Slow Beauty. We believe slowing down to return home to yourself is the path to help reduce stress and anxiety and set healthy boundaries for the 24/7 culture we live in . We are committed to creating healthy body care products for the spa professional and the Slow Beauty advocate. Our roots are firmly planted in the ancient and present healing traditions of the spa, the true source of slow beauty. Our products and programs are designed to intentionally connect you to Slow Beauty® Rituals to awaken relaxation, deliver nourishment and set in motion the return to a state of wholeness. We give you the best ingredients nature has to offer, and provide you with tangible and practical ways to help you slow down and live in accordance with the natural pace of your life.
After a decade of writing, speaking and being interviewed on the concept of Slow Beauty, in 2017 I released my first book SLOW BEAUTY, Rituals and Recipes to Nourish the Body and Feed the Soul, as a guide to help people better engage with the Slow Beauty® philosophy and as a way to design their personal Slow Beauty practice. Slow Beauty® is all about creating moments within each day, week, month, season and year to practice the kind of meaningful well-being that makes us glow. When practiced over time, these small rituals add up to manifest results - not only feeling healthier and more joyful, but in realizing true beauty and timeless aging. Slow beauty® works because it is a way of life and not a quick fix.
I believe Slow Beauty is not product centric, or a luxury, it is a medium for connection and healing. We are losing touch with the ways in which connection with self, others, and nature heals, inspires and gives us purpose and meaning. I invite you to embody the art of Slow Beauty by joining me in a process of wholeness.
