My name is Karry Giunti and I am the founder of Glisten Queens Clothing. My story is the perfect example of how one positive thought can change the course of a lifetime. I like many others have a difficult time at this thing called "life". I lost my mom, dad and brother by the time I was 25 years old. After the loss of my mother in 2010 I went on a downward spiral FAST. Depression lead to overeating and not being active in the gym or even at life. I was over 300lbs and having serious health problems. I was also limiting my contact with friends and extended family. I wasn't living I was just "existing". No one knew the pain I was in because I still went to my 40hr a week job and celebrated my friends life acheivements like marriages and babies. I was genuinely happy for them but these goals seemed so out of reach for me, I was just trying to survive. I always kept a smile on my face but inside I was hollow and sad. These thoughts made me make other bad decisions such as some of the relationships I chose and some isolating behaviors that were definitely not healthy to me. That all changed one day after having an extraordinary bad day. I looked at myself in the mirror and said enough is enough today is the day you change your life. So, I grabbed a pair of super cute Jordan's and my favorite shirt at the time which just happened to have a crown on it and did the scariest thing ever; walked into a gym. Just the little boost of a cute outfit gave me just enough confidence to start my path of health and happiness. When I first started I would go late at night or first thing in the morning because I sweat a lot and would get embarrassed when I would leave a puddle on the stairclimber or a sweat impression on a mat. I thought that only "fat" girls sweated, I wasted so much mental space thinking like that. Im just glad I didn't let that discourage me so i kept going and I can't even describe the feeling of working on yourself every day its just….well wonderful.Every day I would constantly remind myself to think positive and imagine the life I wanted. After a few months of training and eating better things just started to fall into place for the better. I ended a highly dysfunctional relationship, moved to an apartment I loved, got the job I wanted and best of all I could look at myself in the mirror. As people started to notice my weight loss it motivated me even more and I noticed several people I was around start to change their lives for the better as well. I started to think that maybe I'm here for a reason. Maybe my journey could inspire someone to take that first step as well. Wouldn't that be amazing?.One day in the middle of a workout I just thought wow this is the first time in  long time I felt happy and content. On one of these particularly "sweaty" workouts I had a trainer comment on how drenched I was and all I could say is "girls don't sweat they Glisten" and since I just happened to be wearing that famous crown shirt (which just happened to be a little looser now) I called back out to the trainer " I mean Queens don't sweat they Glisten". On that day an idea was born. Why shame the girls in the gym sweating why not celebrate them. Every woman is a queen and I just want to be the person to remind them of that. Especially in the gym where many feel nervous and intimidated. I created this line to show women of all sizes that they are queens and should love themselves as such. Any woman can relate to that ONE outfit, little black dress or pair of heels that give us power and thats what I want this line to be. I want when a woman or girl puts this shirt on to feel empowered to take over the gym and "Glisten" with pride because with every drop of sweat and every drenched T-shirt we are one step closer to taking over our lives and reaching potentials that before were only dreamed about. Pursue your dreams, work hard for the life that your want, don't be afraid to put blood, sweat and tears into anything you feel passionate ab
