♥ Rayna Alvarez ♥ Wearer of Many Hats

Ever wonder who the face of SWAK is? I mean, you see her everywhere on the site, on our social media and on our Live Sales... Well, that's Rayna, and she is me! or, I am her? 

Hi, I'm Rayna ♥

(Wearing our Amber Shrug)

If you haven't noticed yet, I write all of our blog posts. I also do lots of other stuff here at SWAK, which is why my official title is the "Wearer of many hats". Sounds mysterious right...?! lol

In addition to blogging and modeling, I also manage our customer service. If you email or call us, yup, that's me you're talking to. I curate and monitor our social media, manage our production needs as well as all of our tech stuff like product uploads and website maintenance. Yes, my duties are all over the place, but I like it that way. Variety is the spice of life, right?!

I like to think of myself as the "Do-er".  If our team needs something done, They know to bring it to me. I'm their gal. I'm devoted to making SWAK everything YOU want it to be. So, reach out to me! Give me feedback or just drop in to say hey. I'm here for the SWAK community make my job easier and tell me what you'd like to see from us next. 

Want to know a little more about me? I'll assume you answered yes :)

Zodiac Sign: Sagittarius

Favorite food spot (name of place and city) and what are you ordering? It's always going to be Taco Nazo in Bellflower Ca. I'm getting 1 fish taco and 1 shrimp taco with a jaiva tostada on the side. Runner up is Joey's BBQ in chino, CA. I'm getting brisket and baby back ribs, potato salad and garlic bread that you have to dip into their homemade bbq sauce. The bread is simply a delicious vehicle to scoop as much of this sauce into your mouth as possible. It's extasy. 

Pretend I'm a Starbucks barista. What is your go order? Veni iced matcha latte. 2 pumps of vanilla, 2 pumps of brown sugar and topped with vanilla sweet cream cold foam. It's a staple in my diet at this point. I recently purchased all of the ingredients to make it at home myself, but do you think I've done it yet? (eyeroll)

What did you want to be when you were growing up? Happy. My thought process never focused on a career like it does for many others wo are asked this question. I just knew I wanted to be happy. We do have a family video of me when I was about 4 or five being asked this question. I responded "a paleta man (ice cream man) or a plumber like my grandpa". Pretty funny to look back at it. 

Why do you like working for SWAK? I love being able to create relationships with our customers. I've always said SWAK customers are not just customers. We're family/

What keeps you going? My Son. I'm a mommy to an amazing 2 year old little boy who has me on my toes and exhausts me on the daily but fills my heart and soul with so much love and joy its unmeasurable. 

When you're not working, What are you doing? Playing with my Son, my Sonshine. I usually have a book in my hand or close by. I'm an avid reader completing 2-3 books a month and always taking recommendations. I love me a spicy romance novel. lol. I also crochet and make junk on my circuit. I realize I have the hobbies of an elderly woman but I like what I like. 

If you want to see modeling pics, book reviews and goofy content, follow me on Instagram. You may see some behind the scenes that you might not see otherwise. @rsalci2
