Behind the Brand: Not Your Average Beauty Founder

A veterinarian.  A competitive cowgirl.  A woman who believes dirty boots and expensive taste go perfectly together.

I've spent most of my life in boots, not heels.  As an equine sports medicine veterinarian and competitive horsewoman, my days ae filled with horses, dirt, sweat, sunshine, and more than a few unpredictable moments.  I've built businesses, chased big dreams, competed in some pretty tough arenas, and learned that being a woman in a cowboy's world takes a whole lot of grit.

But here's the thing about me: I've always loved the glamorous side of life, too.

I love beautiful clothes, good skincare, a little sparkle, and feeling put together--even when my day starts in the barn before the sun comes up.  I've never understood why being hardworking and being feminine were supposed to be two different things.

So, I Created Something for Women Like Me.

Haute n Punchy was born out of simple frustration.  I wanted beauty products that made sense for the way I actually lived.  Products that could hydrate and support my skin through long days outdoors, give me a little effortless polish, and not require an entire makeup bag to get the job done.

And I knew I wasn't alone.

I see women every day who work just as hard as the men beside them.  Women who train horses, run ranches, build businesses, raise families, and somehow manage to do it all.  Women who aren't afraid to get dirty but still love feeling beautiful.

Those are my kind of women.  And they're exactly who I created Haute n Punchy for.

With a background in veterinary medicine, I've always appreciated the science behind ingredients and the importance of products that actually serve a purpose.  I wanted to bring that same thoughtful approach to beauty--combining hardworking skincare with a little everyday luxury.

But more than anything, I wanted to create a brand that celebrates a certain kind of woman.

Because you can be gritty and glamorous.  Strong and Feminine.  A little rough around the edges and still love the finer things.

And if there's one thing I've learned, it's that you don't have to fit anyone else's definition of what a woman should be.

You just have to be unapologetically yourself.

One heel on the glam side.  One boot on the gritty side.
