Glo Forward: Cameron Armstrong
This week on Glo Forward, we’re highlighting Cameron Armstrong, the founder of Kitty + Vibe, a brand redefining swimwear with inclusivity, confidence, and joy at its core.
Cameron’s warmth and empathy shine through in everything she does—whether it’s building a brand that makes people feel seen or embracing self-care with intentionality. In this profile, Cameron shares how movement keeps her grounded, why she embraces slowing down, and the advice she’d give her younger self about comparison and joy. Get ready for a refreshing take on self-care, balance, and trusting the path you’re on.
What is one thing you love about yourself?
I love my empathy. I’ve been told many times that I feel like a safe space. I believe that’s because I can hold other people’s feelings with care and acknowledge how they are feeling. This allows me to have a greater level of connectivity with people.
What does self-care look like to you on a free day?
On a free day, self-care looks like taking my time and having the privilege of slowing down. A perfect self-care day would be screen-free, getting out in nature, exercising, and painting. I’d soak up each activity and focus on being present. I’m quite the extrovert, so I do not feel like I need alone time to recharge—thus I would welcome company on a self-care day.
What is your favorite mantra?
This changes a lot! I recently heard a mantra of “what’s meant for you, won’t miss you” and this has been my go-to. It’s a lovely reminder to not live too much in the future and to trust the path you're on.
What’s one daily ritual you never skip?
Hydrating! I love having a daily coffee (just 1 for me!) but notice if I have coffee first thing in the morning, it makes me jittery and unsettled. I prioritize drinking a big glass of water as soon as I get up (pre-coffee) and keeping a water bottle with me at all times.
How do you unwind after a long day?
I love vegging out and being comfy. After a long day, I’ll put on a cozy sweat set and enjoy catching up on a TV show or watercoloring (one of my favorite hobbies!). Unwinding for me includes putting my phone away.
Do you pack for a trip in advance or save it for a last-minute scramble?
Pack in advance! I love planning what outfits I’m going to wear (and writing these down in my notes app). I also love feeling organized (packing cubes are a must!) and can’t stand forgetting something essential, so packing in advance works best for me.
What’s your go-to wellness practice when you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed?
Movement! If I’m stressed or overwhelmed I have to move my body in order to feel relief. I can lose myself in my thoughts and exercise helps me to strengthen the mind-body connection.
What role does fitness play in your self-care routine?
Exercising makes me feel better 100% of the time. I try to prioritize getting in some form of movement every day. I think the key is making the barrier to entry low—so committing to less in order to show up for more. For me that can be as simple as celebrating a 10-minute walk around the block, or stretching in the living room!
Do you have a favorite skincare or body care product you can’t live without?
I can’t live without Skinpharm Clarifying Pads. They brighten your skin, tighten pores, and help prevent breakouts.
What’s one piece of advice you would give to your younger self?
I would tell myself not to feed into comparison anxiety. They say comparison is the thief of joy and that’s so true. Especially in a digital age, it’s no use comparing yourself to, oftentimes, the smallest glimpse into someone else’s life that’s nowhere near a complete picture. Stay focused on your own path.
Cameron Armstrong’s story is a beautiful reminder that self-care isn’t just about routines—it’s about mindset, connection, and embracing what makes you feel good. Whether it’s movement, creativity, or simply putting the phone away, Cameron’s approach inspires us to be present and focus on our own journey.
