Welcome! Meet the Face Behind the Boutique
Welcome to The Purple Elixir Boutique Blog., My name is Jamine Georges, I am a 30 something year old Mom, who lives in the Metro- Atlanta Area. I am the Founder and CEO of The Purple Elixir Boutique, which caters to women ( Small - 3x) who want trendy, fashionable, and affordable items without breaking the bank.
How it all began...
I have always loved anything beauty and fashion- hair, nails, shoes, clothes and the likes. So I thought "why not start a boutique selling items and products that I am passionate about". I looked into starting and how much it would cost me and became quickly discouraged because of all the work I would have to do.
Then, I thought of the future and realized I do not want to work for someone forever and I would love to be able to build generational wealth. Generational wealth is a concept that is not widely practiced in the African- American or Caribbean community- why not start with my family.. I decided to form an LLC in late 2016 and began the process of finding vendors after many months of procrastinating.
I found a verified Macy's re-seller and bought a small lot of designer bags and starting telling my friends and family about my new venture. I realized I needed a platform to sell my products and made a completely horrid website. Six months went by and nothing,... another six months past and still nothing. I began to worry that I'd have these bags just collecting dust. Early 2018, I began the process of revamping my website and decided to offer a variety of products rather than just bags. But life had other plans! I found out I was pregnant and at the most unfortunate time.
Today...
The Purple Elixir Boutique is not by any means generating millions! This is not a " I am a successful entrepreneur let me show you how I made my millions" type of blog. I have experienced some wins, but entrepreneurship is a journey that never ends. I want to share some of my journey and hope you all will take the ride along with me.

Hi Stephanie,
Thank you so much! Some of us, just aren’t meant to “work for the man” forever. I hope I can give you the necessary information and boost your confidence to start your own business and legacy.
Hey Jasmine, I am so proud when I see a sister or a brother taking the entrepreneurial path. You’re right it’s not common in our community. Fist of, I will salute you for doing so and wish you all the blessings and success. I also want to learn from your experience because I always had a burning desire to be an entrepreneur. By the way, 9-5 had never worked for me: I am always kicked out after one or two years. Anyway that’s not my cup of tea. I am a free thinker, I love freedom and explore new things. I hope and I believe I gonna learn from you. For my side, I will try my best to bring awareness to your store by sharing your article. Kudos to you sister and all the best.
