Hey Sexy, My name is Stephanie Marinello.
Thank you for being curious enough to stop by! I want to officially welcome you to the Smart is Sexy Movement. Smart is Sexy™ began as a seed in hopes of finding a solution to a problem I faced until I started to realize I wasn’t the only one. I was having a hard time making choices amidst the ever increasing social marketing campaigns my generation as Millennials faced and the displacement of values that came along with that. Only to realize my best efforts were simply helping me to select the best from the worst. I have always been a person to ask why? A person that strives to better herself everyday, and I did that by acquiring knowledge. If knowledge helped me make good choices and choices represented freedom – how was selecting the best from the worst of any benefit to me or the elevation of my life?
A return to authenticity amidst our current world of social bombardment was born. A return to glamorize the values that raise our consciousness. We’re at an age that the previous mindset is no longer working for us. It’s time for change.
“Just needs a mind shift, and that’s where Smart is Sexy comes in”
If you are anything like me, then you find knowledge in quantifiable research, in experiences, in time spent reading and the people I surround myself with. Knowledge is power, it goes beyond a simple education or a job—it becomes you, it influences the next decision you make, the next meal you reach out to feed your body, how good of a friend you are, how good of a family member you are and how good of a lover you are. If you care about anything, even yourself —educate yourself.
“Education is power and power never goes out of style”
I want to be transparent with you and bring you along my journey of figuring out what brands, people and opportunities help amplify our voices that align with the core value of “doing well” in this life but not at the expense of others or the earth. With the world today moving at the speed of social, it’s only fitting that social responsibility is part of that too.
Subscribe yourself and I promise not only will I not send you emails with junk, but you will be joining others on a level that have shared values and interests in living a better life today by being better than they were yesterday. If we individually are better, then we contribute to a better tomorrow. Who knows! Maybe one of the emails might just strike your interest to dig deeper. What then, will you do with your expanded perception?
What’s Sexy? Smart is Sexy.
Join me, let’s turn heads the right way!
