Hi! I’m Evelia & everyone calls me Bella (it means pretty in spanish). I’m a proud Latina & owner of Shop Evelia Bella. WELCOME! Growing up, I always had entrepreneurship in me. I was the little girl reselling random things to my friends & would even knock on doors around the neighborhood selling sodas, chips, stickers, pens & whatever else I thought people liked. I didn’t have the nicest clothes, not even close, but I was always wearing the trendy things, or at least trying to be trendy.  I had a thing for vibrant colors & cool shoes & apparently I still do. Every morning for school, I would look forward to my outfit, & as I got older, my only dream was to have my own store-front, selling my personal style & all the pretty clothes. Everything changed for me & my family when I was only 16. My mother passed away unexpectedly from colon cancer & being the oldest, I took take care of my sisters & the household… things were never the same. As time passed, I worked in many different jobs but never followed my dream until I was 29 years old & after having my first child. It all started with Poshmark selling my used clothes, but right away realized people made it their business reselling clothes & gave it a shot. Soon after, I did tons of research to see what was needed to open my very own online store & was able to launch my website in 2019. My only hope is to inspire others to follow their dreams, even when you think it’s too late. My iced coffee addiction came in later in life, & yes, because it's good, but mainly because it keeps me alive 💀✨..so, I decided to make it part of the gang & it’s truly something I’m very passionate about.
