BEAUTY TALK

In this episode of Gritty Pretty Radio, Eleanor Pendleton (founder & editor-in-chief) and Rose Garnett (beauty editor) sit down with the founder of LYS Beauty, Tisha Thompson. Launching into Sephora Australia on April 26 2022, the brand is Sephora's first ever clean and black-owned beauty brand. With the goal of diversifying the beauty industry as her driving force, Tisha managed to create an inclusive, environmentally-conscious beauty brand that has a product to suit everyone and every beauty look. Founded in 2019, the brand's Triple Fix Foundation (which comes in 35 shades) is already an Allure Best In Beauty award winner and that's just the tip of the iceberg. From where her brand name came from to the risks of starting your own business and the importance of a solid support system, Tisha wasn't afraid to get into the nitty gritty of building LYS Beauty. 

In this episode of Gritty Pretty Radio, Eleanor Pendleton (founder & editor-in-chief) and Rose Garnett (beauty editor) sit down with the co-founder of Frank Body, Jess Hatzis. Launching her brand in 2013 with her iconic coffee scrub and since expanding into body care, skincare and haircare, Jess was also one of the first brand founders to identify and capitalise on the value of Instagram and social media marketing. Renowned for her brand's clean, vegan and cruelty-free formulas, Jess has managed to strike the balance between beautiful products that are good for the environment with ease. From where her love of coffee scrub stemmed from to how she capitalised on social media marketing before it was cool and what's next for Frank Body, nothing was off limits during this chat.

As the woman behind cult-favourite products including the CEO Face Oil and Good Genes Serum, Sunday is one seriously inspirational entrepreneur.

In this episode of Gritty Pretty Radio, Eleanor Pendleton (founder & editor-in-chief) and Rose Garnett (beauty editor) chat with the cover star of Gritty Pretty's March 2022 issue...entrepreneur and podcast host, Turia Pitt! First introduced to Turia on September 2, 2011 when, while competing in a 100km ultramarathon in Western Australia's Kimberly region, she was caught in an out-of-control grass fire and sustained burns to 65 per cent of her body, her story is one of immense determination, courage and resilience. Over a decade on and Turia has cemented herself as one of the most successful, down-to-earth and innovative entrepreneurs in Australia. A motivational speaker, businesswoman, podcast host and, most recently, founder of her running program RUN With Turia, Turia is showing no signs of slowing down. From her take on toxic positivity to her journey back to self-love and how she keeps her relationship with long-time partner Michael going from strength-to-strength, Turia was a delight to speak with.

Now with an offering of six SPF products (and another very exciting one on the way), the brand is going from strength-to-strength. From going from journalist to brand founder, the lightbulb moment that changed everything and how she is scaling her business thoughtfully, Samantha chatted to Gritty Pretty about anything and everything.
