Welcome To Velvet98 - A Soft Space For Real Healing

She bloomed on her own time.

Welcome to Velvet 98, — a soft and sacred space made for the women who’s learning to love herself through every layer. Whether it’s acne, anxiety, PCOS, high blood pressure, breakouts, breakthroughs, or beauty that doesn’t need to shout for attention.

I’m Adrianna, the voice behind this space — an aspiring esthetician, a woman with melanated skin, hormone struggles, and a deep appreciation for all things natural, nostalgic, and nurturing.

This blog? Well, it came to life out of frustration and transformation. I got tired of trying product after product with no real answers. I got tired of ignoring my intuition. And I got really tired of being told that healing had to be harsh, full of doctors and chemicals that gave me more side effects than the problem itself.

Velvet 98 is my little rebellion against all of that mess. It’s softness redefined. It’s skin care that’s rooted in nature. It’s self-care for women who know it’s not about perfection, it’s about progress — the deep, real, sometimes messy work we’re all doing.

Here’s what you’ll find inside:

• Self-care routines that nurture your body, mind & energy

• Skincare research, natural recipes, and ingredient breakdowns

• My honest journey with PCOS, HS, and hypertension

• Updates from my path to becoming an esthetician

• Greigh’s Beauty: Our growing beauty collective for hair, nails, and skin

• A curated Resources page for holistic health, esthetics, and support

Whether you're here to glow, rest, learn, or feel less alone — thank you for being part of this beginning.

This is a blog, yes. But it’s also a journal, a love letter, and a mirror.

Welcome to Velvet 98.

Let’s heal in layers.
