Pellegrini Corp.

My name is Ana Pellegrini. I am 23 years old, I was born in Piauí (inland Brazil), but I lived for many years in the city of São Paulo.
In my country, it is common for children to be raised by their grandparents, so that the parents can dedicate themselves to work and provide for the family, and with me it was no different. My mother sold women’s clothing, so from a very young age I fell in love with the colors, textures and shapes of lingerie, bikinis, dresses and shirts. It was a party when, at seven or eight, I could be the first to open the bags and see what’s new.
While still at school, in the northeast, I started to undertake. I saved money, doing errands for my grandmother, and on one of those trips Mom took, I went with her and bought my first jewelry, which I sold at school, for the principal, teachers and staff.
I started dating, got married, and spent some time without undertaking, but I never stopped dreaming of a future as a businesswoman… I wanted to have much more than life offered me at that moment.
I wanted to be big, but I didn’t have the exact idea of where I wanted to go and, above all, where I could get.
However, I lived in my little world, I was still a minor and this race after a dream, at that moment, was very restricted. Until I broke up and went to college. I wanted to be a lawyer, despite my whole family encouraging me to study pedagogy, the profession that most of them followed. I did a year of law, but I didn’t identify with the course, and I gave up.
At that moment in my life, my mother had separated and gone to São Paulo, looking for better opportunities. I decided to follow in her footsteps. I worked in a cafe, in a restaurant, in a mall, but I had the ambition, as I said, to be big, to be bigger than what I had envisioned until then.
I decided, alone, to emigrate to the United States. I wanted to meet new people, do something different, conquer new paths, build my destiny, move forward, travel the world, in short, change my life!
I embraced the opportunities that were offered to me, and one of them was to work on boats, here in Miami Beach, during the pandemic.
I participated in all phases of the work, from cleaning to anchoring, going through everything the work involved, and I fell in love, with the place, the climate, the people… always with my style, my original clothes, customizations, accessories, different haircuts, colorful bikinis. Despite being a humble person, I always managed to have my own style.
People started asking me for tips on clothes, makeup, hair, lifestyle and, at the same time, I started posting interesting content on Instagram, about my world: boats, parties on board, care, styles… marking people and companies, promoting the meeting of interested parties in the leasing of boats… until I opened a micro charter company, and became a reference in the area here in Miami.
Being able to help people with their desires captivated me. I started to strive to serve everyone in the best possible way, until an idea came to my mind: why not just give the tips, but make it easier to buy these products that I nominate in an easy and objective way? PELLEGRINI STORE (under development) was born, a virtual store with the best products for each niche.
And the tips? I decided to professionalize the tips here in Miami, offering geolocation resources, proximity to the user’s address, with a friendly avatar clearing up visitors’ doubts, the possibility of chatting with other participants, buying tickets. A community focused on tips and suggestions. PELLEGRINI TRAVEL was born.
During these years that I work in the nautical market, I realized that body care needs to be redoubled. The sea dries out the skin a lot, and I ended up developing LX Magic Blind, which is a waterproof, vegan fixer. Since I was little I have always been passionate about cosmetics, I have always liked the variety, diversification, floral, citrus, exotic, woody scents, many of which I never forget where they came from. So I created PELLEGRINI SKIN CARE.
