An interview with Beata Maria Kramoris

Hi Beata - tell us a bit about yourself and Blue Diamond Colageno

My name is Beata and I am 52 years young. I’ve owned a few different busi nesses and spent time living in Tenerife and Poland before moving to Spain.

I’ve been using Colway products for over 10 years and my business aims to provide customers with Colway’s excep tional quality natural collagen products that are sourced from fish skin, using their patented method.

Have you always wanted to run your own business and what brings you to Spain?

I’ve always wanted to have my own business, I’ve had a few businesses in my life. I worked as an insurance agent, I had a small supermarket, and my own travel agency. I finished working in in surance to open my supermarket, which was doing really well until big supermar kets came into the area.

A friend who had been in Spain for a long time persuaded me to go there with her. We went to Malaga where I met my current partner who is English, he lived in Tenerife and we opened a travel agency there. I’m a brave person who isn’t afraid to take risks, so the business went in my name and I took care of the responsibilities. Unfortunately, Covid hit and we had to close the agency, we moved to Poland during the pandemic where we bought a house in beautiful Krakow. However, it was too cold there so we decided to move back to sunny Spain!

We bought a house in Murla in March

2022 and the idea for opening Blue Diamond Colegano was born whilst visiting the hairdresser.

Once again, my hairdresser praised my hair - what good structure it has and how shiny it is. She asked what shampoo I use and I had been using Colway’s hair thickening shampoo, this was the reason for my strong and healthy hair.

Why did you start Blue Diamond Colegano?

About 10 years ago I had lots of pain when moving and different doctors told me there was nothing wrong. That’s when I found Colway. I didn’t know who they were but they advertised collagen that can be applied to painful parts of the body. I ordered the best collagen from them, their Natural Platinum, and I started rubbing it onto the aching parts of my body - I noticed the improvement immediately.

Using this with another collagen drink I had discovered, I was able to overcome my every day pain. Doctors later diagnosed me with the incurable joint disease fibromyalgia (Lady Gaga also has this).

Colway products are helping me with my illness, because my fibromyalgia also affects connective tissue due to lack of collagen and central nervous system transmitters. That’s why I have decided to share my experience and distribute these products in Spain, because they are not only cosmetics, but medicines for many things.

Do you have any advice for aspiring businesswomen?

Don’t be afraid to invest and believe in yourself. It’s always good to take on new challenges and, when you do, keep a smile on your face and be confident.

Learning languages is another piece of advice I have, as well as taking care of how you look and feel.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Happy, very successful and running a large company.
