DULCE CANDY

Dulce Tejeda, or better known as Dulce Candy, always dreamt of being a school teacher. Now 24years later she teaches millions of followers on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter her beauty and fashion secrets. With currently over 120 million views on YouTube, Dulce Candy has become one of the top fashion and beauty icons for the social media generation.

Dulce Candy accredits her independence and strength as a woman to her experience in the Army. In 2006, as a personal challenge to herself, Dulce impulsively decided to join the army working as a Mechanic. Although her experience in the Army was a positive and rewarding one, Dulce found herself becoming very defeminized; wearing the same uniform day in and day out and not being able to display or express her passion for fashion. It was finally in 2008 when she quickly discovered that the internet was a tremendous outlet for her to express her femininity and love of fashion. One evening, Dulce came home from a long day at work took off her uniform, turned on the camera, and just began talking about nothing other than girl stuff; makeup, fashion, and shopping. Consequently the phenomenon we now know as Dulce Candy was created.

While Dulce has accomplished a lot in her 24 short years, she is not even close to being done. Her plans include launching her own clothing and make-up line, as well as opening up her own boutique in Los Angeles.  Recently, Dulce was chosen as the “Official Blogger” for Fashion’s Night Out 2011 as well as being selected for the cover of The Stylist Handbook.  www.dulcecandy.com or www.youtube.com/DulceCandy87
