Mom Boss Monday: Featuring Mompreneur Kristen Lopez!
I met Kristen through networking! She is a boss mom, getting it all done. Here is her story!
1) Name: Kristen Lopez
2) Where are you from: Middletown, NJ (originally Brooklyn, NY)
3) What is your business name/info? Beauty Kween (Affiliate with BeCause Cosmetics)
4) How did you get involved with it? A little over two years ago, I started in the makeup industry with another company. The business was essentially my “fun time”. Something I could do that was for ME. I wasn’t a mom, I wasn’t a wife, It wasn’t anything for anyone else, except ME. I also was looking for a way to gain my confidence back and put myself back out into the world after having lost 100lbs. My girlfriend offered me a chance for a very inexpensive cost and I quickly launched.
5) What are the biggest challenges you face in your business? The biggest challenge I face currently is transitioning from my previous company brand to my new one.
6) How do you manage your time effectively? I wake up early and plot my daily business posts or ideas. I love what I do, so to me, there is no hassle in finding time.
7) Tell us about a challenge you faced & overcame! Infertility. It took me 3 long years to get pregnant with my beautiful son. My rainbow baby. I am blessed to have met with many doctors and successfully received my blessing naturally, which was an absolute shock. Here we are 4 ½ years later, and the struggle continues. I am very open about this challenge and it is something very dear to my heart. No woman should ever feel ashamed or as if they are alone. If I can help or inspire ONE person to speak out, I know that my challenge was put before me for a greater purpose!
8) Who inspires you & why? The “old” me. I was a struggling, overweight, depressed woman who had it all, but couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. When the time came, I took the bull by its horn and stopped feeling sorry for myself. I put words into action and I am the happiest person I could ever be, now!
9) What do you do for fun? I absolutely love watching sports. I am heavily involved with rooting on my favorite sports teams NY Giants, NY Rangers, NY Yankees and love hosting parties to watch them play.
10) What makes you a MOM BOSS? I manage my household, I have a 4 ½ year old extremely outgoing boy who I waited 3 long years to get pregnant with. My son is typically right by my side during my social media live videos, you will see him in many of my photos where I feature products and he is my #1 fan. To get myself glammed up and hear “mom, you look beautiful”, is all I will ever need to succeed!

I applaud Kristen for sharing her story with infertility. This is not easy for any mom to go through! So many women have gone through similar struggles & can relate! It is also not easy to go from one company to another & make that transition smooth! There are so many factors that go into that & Kristen handled it all so well!

Both of my children are rainbow babies… I went through heartbreak of multiple miscarriages…. and still remember after another miscarriage, my doctor (not anymore my doctor) saying “why are you crying, it’s just statistics”… I wanted to poke her eyes out!!! Yes “her”!!!! I’m blessed with 2 baby boys now and wouldn’t have it any other way 🙏
