“She created a life she loved!”

Everyone was glowing on Aug. 13, when the glow and beauty goddess Danielle Faretra, owner of Aglow and director of Beautycounter, hosted a Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting at the plush Aglow Airbrush Tanning Studio at 1820 Turnpike St., North Andover.

Guests’ faces glowed with happiness as they were treated to a glass of bubbly, custom cupcakes and light bites while taking a tour of the sparkling-white, newly built interior of the franchise, meticulously custom-built with pride by her dad, businessman Guy Faretra, and fiancé Phil Harasek. The dynamic duo gave up five weeks of their summer in a labor of love to build it extra-special for the compassionate, sweet and gracious Danielle.

Aglow natural+glowing+confidence promotes healthy and safe tanning without using harsh chemicals or UV rays! The products are all natural — so natural that product ingredients are food-based, gluten-free, vegan and infused with hydrating, anti-aging properties for softer and younger-looking skin! Since its inception in 2011, Aglow has provided more than 20,000 clients with sunless airbrush tans!

Danielle, a Chelmsford native and graduate of UMass Lowell, is a brand ambassador for Xtend Barre in Burlington, as well as Peach and other boutiques in Boston. She has educated herself — and mentors and inspires many others — in living a cleaner life through a plant-based diet and nontoxic beauty products.

As director of Beautycounter, she has a makeup boutique at Aglo where she has helped to remove toxic personal-care products from her clients’ routines and replace them with safer products.

Danielle also has a library of inspirational books at Aglow that clients can take out any time for two weeks. How clever!

Danielle‘s mission in life is simple: “To help women through hardships, overcoming their fears, and feel the most beautiful they ever have in their life. A woman with love in her heart, kindness in her soul and confidence in her walk is a positive impact on this world.”

The Z-List wishes Danielle all the best. Thank you for making a huge difference in so many women’s lives!
