Adventures at Assateague Island

Assateague Island, ahhh, the fresh smell of sea salt and wild ponies. This place has been a summer destination of mine since I was very young. From the whispering sea grass blowing with the wind, to people scrambling around to see the ponies roam through the marsh or beach, this place is truly one of the best places to visit on the East Coast since I see sooo many out of staters visiting.

Our first photoshoot here was so easy to kick off the brand because it was off season and that means zero crowds {a dream come true for us locals}. It was oddly still warm for early October, as summer was still trying to hang on, but the beauty of the water sparkling like dancing diamonds invited me to connect with the sensations of the water to feel at home and in peace within my soul. The ocean sent a personal invite to play around like a little sea creature, with sand and shells in between my fingers and toes, and hearing the seagulls communicating to each other out loud for us folks to use our hearing senses. Every moment of the process got me very excited about starting my brand, perhaps the seagulls were cheering me on with their loud callings on the beach.

The ocean is so sacred to the Earth and it’s our job to keep her clean as much as we can. Our products are eco-friendly to our beaches and wildlife on land and in sea. I believe the “Intro” collection gives you a perspective on what Bellissea’s values are and get a visual look of the locations that inspire us to keep continuing with new products.
