A New Chapter, the Same Heart


An invitation, from my heart to yours

Hey there.

I know we may have connected through Color Street, encouragement posts, or my wellness journey. Today I want to share something deeper, my story. My hope is that you hear my heart and understand why I feel called to pass this on to you.

Who I Am
You know my name is Ailene. I am a wife, mom, and grandma who has spent the last several years balancing work in our local police department, family, and building businesses that allow me to encourage others. I love beauty, wellness, and helping women feel confident, inside and out. (Don't worry, I'lll still continue sharing Color Street!)

The Struggle
Like so many midlife women, I hit a season where nothing seemed to work. I was "eating clean", exercising, spending hundreds of dollars on alternative programs and metabolic resets, and still not seeing results. I was disheartened by how my clothes fit and the stubborn menopause belly that would not budge.

I even considered talking with my doctor about trying one of the popular injectable weight-loss programs. By BMI standards, I was considered “obese.” But the thought of weekly shots was discouraging, especially since I already rely on my husband to give me my monthly migraine injection. Deep down, I knew I wanted a better way.

The Turning Point
Then I saw a respected businesswoman I met on a past incentive trip sharing about a natural, science-backed way to target belly fat. She explained it was different from the synthetics flooding the market. Something in my heart said, “This is worth trying.”

I figured, what do I have to lose? So I reached out to her. I asked for more information. After reviewing the information, I said yes. That yes has been life-changing, not just for me, but for many others I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside.

Why This Matters Now
Most companies do not even make 1 million dollars in their first year. MAKE Wellness sold 10 million in a single month. The goal is 100 million in year one, and 1 billion in five years.

And this November, we are launching a brand-new peptide that supports restorative sleep, in a market with massive demand. I still have a couple of early access codes for the 2-pack bundle, so if sleep is something you or someone you love has been struggling with, this is the moment to lean in.

This is not hype. It is the right time, the right place, and the right solution.

My Mission
At the heart of everything I do, whether it is sharing nail polish and clean beauty, encouragement, or wellness, is one mission: to help you sparkle inside and out.

I know what it feels like to lose confidence in your body, to wonder if you will ever have the energy or joy you once did, and to feel like your best days are behind you. But I also know the hope that comes when you find solutions that work and a community that lifts you up.

MAKE Wellness is about more than products. It is about helping others feel seen, supported, and capable of creating a healthier, more joy-filled future.

Your Invitation
Maybe this is not the right time for you personally, and that is okay. But if you have been praying for something more, or if someone close to you has been searching for answers with their health, their energy, or even their finances, this could be the blessing they have been waiting for.

This week, there are two opportunities to hear directly from our leadership team and scientists on a quick overview Zoom. You will also hear real-life stories from people who are already experiencing change:

👉 Sunday at 7 PM CST
👉 Monday at 8 PM CST

Alongside the overviews, we also offer weekly science calls and access to a private testimonial group with over 20,000 stories you can explore.

If you would like the link, simply text me and I will make sure you are set up. And if this is not for you, think about who in your circle might be blessed by learning more.

If you have read this far, thank you for listening to my heart today. I am an open book, and I am so thankful God placed you in my life. This opportunity really could help you create a legacy for your family, and even qualify you for a trip for 2 to Hawaii next fall.

Have a blessed Sunday.

Thanks for adding a little sparkle to my life!
With love and grace,
💖 Ailene 💖

P.S. Have questions? I'm just an email, text, or DM away-I'm happy to help in any way!
