About & Contact

Dawn-Marie Mutell, Founder and CEO of Life’s Necessities and Luxuries – Home, Body, Soul and Life-Styling business.  They also call her a “Life Commodities Broker” because she can find you whatever you need to live a self-actualized life.  She is a versatile wardrobe stylist, professional organizer, event planner, life coach and travel consultant who has over 25 years experience in the fashion, beauty, retail, travel & event planning, entertainment, and music industries.

In the early part of her years she was a model and dancer with various theater groups in NYC but due to a severe auto accident with a drunk driver, she had injured her spine and was no longer able to dance professionally.  Devastated, she didn’t know where to turn.  Her next thought was “what do I do now?” The only goal she knew was to become a professional dancer.   She felt like something was missing in her life, she wanted to give back to society and help others with their self-esteem issues.  She decided to go back to school and do something she loved as much as music –  Fashion! She became a certified image consultant through The Fashion Institute of Technology, in NYC.

Dawn-Marie decided she wanted to set a goal to empower men and women and assist them in living their most fulfilled lives.  She was determined to make a difference in people’s lives and her company was born (originally called The New You Makeover) has now transitioned into a full-blown life-styling business.
