Her business is all about beauty. And when she talks about “beauty” many listen. In a chat with Potpourri the delectable entrepreneur speaks on beauty and style and how they relate. “ Beauty and style go hand in hand but they are not essentially the same.

There’s just this added glow and sparkle when your skin is flawless and you have got a good style sense. Style is the basis of acceptability in the society. It is style that maintains beauty. Beauty vanishes and becomes ordinary when there is no style. Style is elegance, style is grace, style is sophistication and style is that
