Sustainable fashion is quietly overcoming the damage that fast fashion inflicts on the planet. From inhumane working conditions to energy and resource sapping, the long-accepted practices of fast fashion cause untold damage. Sustainable fashion seeks to transform what clothes production can look like and what it can do for our planet. JIINAN is an eco-friendly clothing brand that is environmentally and ethically conscious, creating both chic activewear pieces and peace of mind.

JIINAN’s eco-friendly sustainability is woven within its very fabric. Their collections are created from recycled plastic bottles, and they utilize sustainable textile techniques. The brand has gone one step further than most to protect and benefit the environment. Eager to take part in the trend towards eco-friendly practices, some brands have begun to simply support tree-planting initiatives. JIINAN, in comparison, wears their desire to put the planet before profit on their ethically woven sleeves. They use fabric that is made from 100% recycled Econyl, which is regenerated nylon that is made entirely from post-industrial waste from oceans and landfills. According to its founder, Jessica Sinclair, from packaging to production, JIINAN offers an eco-friendly and sustainable way to support our planet while feeling comfortable and looking good. “One yoga outfit alone removes seventy plastic bottles from the ocean. JIINAN offers people an actionable way to aid the planet while they work out.”

Further confirming its sustainable status, JIINAN is produced in Bali under environmental and ethical conditions and also benefits charitable change. 5% of JIINAN’s yearly proceeds will go towards O.U.R (Operation Underground Railroad), a non-profit organization fighting to end sex trafficking by rescuing thousands of children across twenty-eight countries. Jessica Sinclair has over thirteen years of experience building and growing organizations and an inherent desire to protect and benefit the planet. Fast fashion created a crisis that is eroding our environment every day, but thankfully, eco-friendly clothing brands are reversing our planet’s fate with every stitch.

Coco Glow Redefines Success on Natalie Massaro Terms

The American Dream whispers promises of opportunity, but for first-generation children, it can also carry a heavy weight of expectation. Natalie Massaro, the visionary behind Coco Glow, knows this firsthand. “There was an unspoken pressure to succeed,” Natalie explains. “Failure wasn’t an option.” This fueled a relentless work ethic in her – juggling two jobs while in school, a constant drive to excel that burned brightly within her.

This drive initially led the SheEO down a traditional path. But a different passion, simmering beneath the surface, tugged at her – a love for beauty and skincare. Stemming from her own experiences navigating body image as a woman with curves in a world often fixated on a single standard of beauty, Natalie knew there was a different narrative to be told.

It was a leap of faith, fueled by unwavering determination, which led Natalie to trade in the traditional path for entrepreneurship. in 2019, Coco Glow was born out of her Jersey Shore apartment. Today she has a staff of talented contour artists and is currently expanding into a second location. The recent introduction of teeth whitening hints at a future where Coco Glow offers a complete canvas for radiant beauty.

“Always find your why,” is Natalie’s mantra. Inspired by her parents’ unwavering work ethic, a constant reminder that “no one can fail if you are consistently showing up every day,” Natalie poured her heart and soul into Coco Glow. Entrepreneurship, it seems, runs in her blood. Her father’s success was a testament to the power of hard work and dedication, values that now echo in Coco Glow’s leadership. Her commitment to exceptional service is a direct reflection of the “show up every day” mindset.

A testament to the American Dream – reimagined for a new generation. It’s about defying expectations, forging your own path, and leaving your mark. It’s about finding your “why” and turning it into something beautiful, one sun-kissed client at a time. And witnessing the boost of confidence in each client who walks out the door is its own reward.

“Every client is understood, their wants and needs are adjusted to – your spray tan is the easiest part of your day” – perfectly represents her client-centric approach.
