We had the good fortune of connecting with Maheli Dionicio and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Maheli, how does your business help the community?
I am clothing reseller; I believe my business helps the world by saving clothes that will end up in landfills. It makes me happy to give secondhand clothes a new life instead of them going to waste. I have built a community of loyal customers and I offer affordable prices to them in hopes that they will come back and shop with me. Helping them achieve their dream wardrobe during these hard times of inflation.
What should our readers know about your business?
I am part time reseller on apps that sell clothing online and on my social media instagram. I am a mom who loves deals and will always give them to my customers. I want to say I stand out by being bilingual I always translate my posts so my people can understand me and feel included. It hasn’t been easy with motherhood, I dedicate most of my time to my children and have slowly started to pick up my passion for reselling again, I do it all early mornings or late at nights. One lesson I have learned through my reselling journey is that it is not a race nor a competition, everyone has their own twist to it and that is what makes us all unique. Embracing the changes that the season bring and always find new strategies to overcome that stagnant feeling. I live by “Un Dia A La Vez” (One Day At A Time.) Enjoying motherhood and pursuing my goals in life.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
As a reseller thrifting will be included during this itinerary. We would start a day by doing a hike if the visit is during summer or early fall to catch a sunrise and take in the beautiful views of Colorado; my favorite hike is El Dorado canyon state park or Red Rocks. Following by breakfast at crackle barrel for some delicious fluffy pancakes then we will hit the goodwill outlets if we want to get down or for a more chill vibe then we would visit a buy sale trade store like Clothes mentor in Lone Tree, CO. For lunch we would stop by Cheeba Hut for a mouthwatering sandwich. To wind the night down we would catch a movie at Harkins theatre Denver or enjoy a drink watching the sunset at near downtown Denver at Avanti F&B restaurant.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
First and foremost I would not be able to do this without my Lord and Savior. I give thanks to him over all for allowing me to have this passion for reselling shout out to him. Secondly the support of my mom, apart from shopping with her when we are together she helps me tremendously by taking care of my babies while I go out and source for my shop or while I go live. Thank you to the reselling community that I follow on Instagram I always feel inspired with all the amazing women and couples who have their own reselling journey. Last but not least my customers, my Amigas who trust me and purchase from me through an app I wouldn’t be able to do this without all these people.
