My name is Shelby Lovelace, I am the owner of @thegoodbabesco & @shopbbtlabel I started out of college with just $2,000 and a dream of delivering affordable yet quality pieces, that give women confidence. I originally started with home decor, painting canvas’s and bull skulls to pay rent in college, I saved up my extra money and slowly started buying into clothes. — I worked in corporate for Dell Computers for 4 years but quickly realized but quickly realized that was not the industry for me and I needed to find something I was passionate about, to not only make a difference in my life, but others also. — My ultimate goal is to give others confidence through clothes, at an affordable price. — The name The Good Babes Co spoke to my heart, with a true meaning; in this time more than ever, we feel the need to spread kindness and positivity at every opportunity that presents itself. Instead of praising celebrities, let’s praise non-profits, telling a random stranger that you LOVE their outfit, skipping Starbucks to donate money to those who are in need, or even just giving a helping hand to someone at the grocery store. I am beyond thankful, first off if you’ve read this far second, for being apart of the Good Babes Club. Let’s all strive to be Good Babes XOXO - Shelby

My name is Allison Wiens. I was born and raised in Fort Collins, Colorado. I started dancing when I was 8 years old and was a competitive dancer in my 20s. At the time, no one could convince me otherwise that dancing would be a part of my life forever until I met my husband, who introduced me to the world of agriculture. For the past 11 years, we have helped run his family's ranch in Sedalia, Colorado, where we live now with our two boys, Henry Hawker and Boone. After years in the cattle industry, we decided in 2021 to start our own Direct to Consumer beef business alongside Travis’ parents. This new venture has proven to be challenging but incredibly gratifying.
