The story behind Moon Beauty...

My name is Kimberly Jimenez, I'm 26 years old and the owner of Moon Beauty. I'm going to be brutally honest here and start off by saying I started my business because I hated working for someone. Not having the control of my time, tasks and money drove me crazy. I took a Dental Assisting course in high school and luckily only worked in the dental field but I still couldn't shake the feeling of wanting to be my own boss. Despite my mother constantly re-assuring me that the Dental field was my best option and the most secure option I still decided to take the leap of faith. Everyone around me encouraged me to stay on track and not follow my dreams. Understandably, because they love me and want me to be financially secure. But that wasn't for me, I didn't want to live in fear and scarcity. I wanted to see what would happen if I bet on myself, if I put all my faith into myself instead of what people were telling me. Now a couple years later from when I started I do believe I am making progress and getting closer to my goals. I truly aspire to help other entrepreneurs along the way while also doing what I love. 

​

My parents migrated here from Mexico before I was born. I have 3 older sisters and 1 older brother. I grew up watching my father work 16hr shifts to keep a roof over our head and keep us fed. He still works those shifts today. My mother broke her back in her dry cleaning career where they abused and over worked her. I put myself in their shoes and just thinking about leaving everything I know, my parents, my home, my comfort; I'm not sure how they managed to do it. To now having a beautiful home, being financially secure, traveling. To me they are the real definition of success. Having that as a leading example has really been my fuel and the reason I started my journey. If my parents had nothing to lose by leaving everything they loved behind and betting on themselves, I also have nothing to lose by going against the norm and attempting to be successful my own way. I pray and hope that one day I will be able to help them financially and give back to them. If I've gotten this far it's thanks to my parents support and God. He is faithful, loving and a safe space from all the chaos of the world. 

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 

Mark 11:24

Since 2019, I've dedicated myself to empowering women to feel beautiful. As of recently my mission has shifted to empower new startups by providing the support and guidance I wished I had during my own journey. I understand the challenges of feeling alone, and having no guidance when entering a new field. I personally know how scary it is to take the leap, that risk, do something you're not familiar with. Even though it's daunting and intimidating I seek to be that resource you may need to lean on for encouragement; to turn fears into opportunities for growth. Together, let's nurture your business dreams and create a community where you can thrive!
