About Us

Our Story
We’re Gina & Janiya, the mother-and-daughter duo behind Girl+Gloss.

When Janiya was born with Pierre Robin Syndrome, our world was turned upside down. Surgeries, hospital stays, and challenges became part of our daily life. But what I feared most was how the world would treat her — would she feel insecure, left out, or defined by others instead of by her own worth?

One day, during “mommy and me” time, we made lip gloss together. I added a label with an affirmation, and Janiya read it out loud every morning. That small act became something bigger: a ritual of self-love and courage. I watched her bloom, and I knew we had something to share with other moms and daughters.

That’s how Girl+Gloss was born.

What We Do
At Girl+Gloss, we believe true confidence is built when beauty meets belief.

That’s why our products go beyond beauty:

• 💄 Affirmation Lip Glosses — with names like Brave & Beautiful and Cute & Confident, each with powerful affirmations printed right on the tube.

• 📖 Digital Tools & Resources — guides, workbooks, affirmation cards, and conversation starters that help moms create safe spaces, open communication, and lasting connections.

✨ Helping moms empower their daughters to affirm themselves and overcome insecurities, so they can become confident and believe in themselves.

Our Symbol: Alya the Butterfly
Alya reminds us of transformation, growth, and resilience. Just as a butterfly emerges from its cocoon, our daughters can rise above challenges and step fully into their strength.

From One Mom to Another
I know what it’s like to worry about your daughter’s confidence in a world full of pressures. That’s why Girl+Gloss exists: to help you create the safe space, connection, and courage your daughter needs to become her most confident self.

One gloss, one affirmation, one safe-space moment at a time — together, we’re raising confident and resilient daughters.
