I interviewed Nia Thomas a couple of months ago, and since then she celebrated the first anniversary of her Crystoil Company Llio. Featured in Tatler, Stylist magazine and many Vogues across the world, Llio is the result of a work of passion and love. Its founder Nia, has also been the head of her own PR company for over a decade, but as a workaholic, she also studied aroma therapies. Growing up with a mother who had her own little beauty room, surrounded by candles, and bath salts, Nia always had an interest in self-care. You’d think that creating a side business while having a busy and sucessfull company already would be overwhelming, but actually, Nia’s advice is to have a steady job while launching a new business. In this episode Nia talks about what it takes to create a beauty product step by step, the story behind Llio and she shares with us how she used Covid 19’s restrictions in her advantage. FOLLOW NIA:https://www.instagram.com/llio.love/ FOLLOW ME:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/way_of_living_podcast/ Twitter: @WayOfLivingPod1 Music: Fredji - Happy Life
