Why I Love This Company
I first stumbled on the Annmarie Skin Care products back around 2010-2011 when I was living in NYC and working part-time as a nanny while building my business. The kids I cared for lived on the Upper West Side, and smack on Amsterdam Ave, halfway between their house and their school was this amazing little raw food cafe/market.
They had a small selection of skincare stuff, and it was all really lovely. They had a sample sale running (I love me some sales!), and I randomly grabbed a few products, which happened to be Annmarie Skin Care.
They were luxurious and amazing, but then the store closed their skincare department, and I tried to find the products elsewhere with no luck. So I moved on.
Fast forward like 3+ years, and my former business coach emails me and says “Lara, you need to be connected to Kevin Gianni and what he and his wife are doing…”
We get introduced, Kevin and I Skype, and we end up shooting the breeze for over an hour; turns out we both grew up in CT, and have loads in common. It honestly wasn’t until I was ON THIS SKYPE CALL that I realized Kevin Gianni and the Annmarie Gianni skincare line were one in the same.
DUH. I felt pretty dumb.
I got to meet Kevin and Annmarie in person a few years back at a conference and have been fast friends since. When they’re in town, we always make sure to get together!
I’m sharing all this backstory with you because sometimes products can feel disconnected from the people that make them, and these are people that have HEART, and a strong mission to create amazing products.
If you’ve not yet stepped into the world of Annmarie Skincare, you definitely should!
