ATTN CORPORATE GIRLIES — this is our new anthem ATTN CORPORATE GIRLIES — this is our new anthem and I will not be taking questions. 👏🏽

Get your mind right before you walk into that office sis. Because you are not just an employee. You are a whole entrepreneur who happens to still have a day job — and there is a difference.

The corporate world needs us present. But our dreams need us building. And the beautiful thing? We’re doing both. So turn this up on the way in. Fix your crown in the rearview. Walk through those doors like the main character you absolutely are — because after hours? We’re building something that’s going to make the 9-to-5 optional.

Love yourself loud sis. In the parking lot. In the boardroom. And especially when you’re building a life nobody handed you.

Drop 💛 if you’re a corporate girlie who’s also out here building something on the side — I see you and I am you. Let’s connect.

Real talk, from me to you: doing what’s right fo Real talk, from me to you: doing what’s right for your life will sometimes mean standing in a room full of people — completely alone. Do it anyway.

I know what it feels like to shrink. To keep a dream quiet because you already know how people are going to react. To say yes to everyone else and nothing to yourself. I lived there for a long time.

When I started building my health and wellness business I wasn’t met with applause. I was met with doubt, silence, and the kind of ‘support’ that comes with a side of skepticism. I almost let that be the reason I stopped.

But I kept going. And that business people quietly doubted? It pays me every single week. It built me a community of people who chose themselves too — who were standing alone in their own rooms before they found this. Now we stand together.

People pleasing is self-abandonment with a smile. And you have been abandoning yourself long enough.
You don’t need permission. You just need to decide that you matter enough to try.

Drop ALONE in my comments or DM me — I took the step nobody clapped for, and I’ll walk this road with you. 💙

“Scared money don’t make money. Scared decisio “Scared money don’t make money. Scared decisions don’t make change.” And I say that as someone who used to let fear run everything — my finances, my choices, my future.

I spent so long waiting for the perfect moment to start something different. Waiting until I had more money. More time. More confidence. More certainty. And while I was waiting, nothing changed. The bills didn’t wait. The years didn’t wait. Life didn’t wait. and the weight didn’t magically fall off 😂😂😂

The thing that finally shifted me wasn’t a magic moment. It was a decision. A decision to stop letting fear be the loudest voice in the room and start betting on myself for once.

I found a health and wellness business that let me start exactly where I was — no experience, no huge platform, no perfect plan. Just a system that works, products that actually changed how I feel every single day, and a team of people who showed up for me the way I now show up for others.

The people on my team were scared too. They overthought it too. They had the same lists of reasons why it wasn’t the right time. The only difference is they jumped anyway — and now they’re hitting bonuses, building income, and feeling better than they have in years.

If fear has been making your decisions, this is your sign to take it back. You deserve to find out what happens when you finally bet on yourself.

Drop LEAP in the comments or slide into my DMs and let’s talk about what this could look like for your life. I took the leap. I’ll help you take yours. 💚

Manifesting the day we get to scream ‘WE DID IT! Manifesting the day we get to scream ‘WE DID IT!’ because we never gave up. 🖤

This is what building together looks like. Two women who decided that the life they wanted wasn’t going to build itself — so they showed up, stayed consistent, and refused to quit on each other or themselves.

That’s what this business is at its core. It’s not just about the income, the bonuses, or the free products — although all of that is very real. It’s about having somebody in your corner who genuinely wants to see you win. A team that celebrates your first sale like it’s their own. People who answer the phone, share the knowledge, and remind you why you started when the days get hard.

We are building something here that goes beyond a paycheck. We’re building health — real, physical, feel-it-in-your-body health. We’re building financial freedom for families who have never had it. We’re building a legacy that our spouses, kids, nieces, nephews, etc get to watch us create in real time.

If you’ve been on the sidelines watching and something in you keeps saying ‘I want that’ — that feeling is not an accident. That’s your sign.

We are actively looking for NEW people to add to this team. People who are hungry, coachable, and ready to finally bet on themselves. You don’t need experience. You just need to be willing to show up.

Drop 🖤 in the comments or DM us the word TEAM and let’s have a real conversation about what this could look like for your life.

April 2017 Ipsy Glam Bag Review

I’ve been a subscriber of Ipsy for a little over a year now, and each bag gets better and better. The great thing about Ipsy is that you not only get to sample a variety of cosmetic products, you also get a cute little travel glam bag each month!  If you are not familiar with Ipsy Monthly Glam Bags, here is a little history.

Michelle Phan has inspired countless women around the world through her beauty video tutorials on YouTube. Every day, the question Michelle gets asked the most is: “What are the right products for me?” With infinite beauty product combinations in the marketplace, choosing the best items for your needs can be a challenge! That was why Michelle created ipsy. Michelle and her team of stylists have selected products they love, for you to try.  Each month, subscribers will receive a beautiful Glam Bag with deluxe samples and full-sized beauty products. Members can watch and play along with the stylists with the same products that they are using. All for only $10 a month.  You get everything from makeup samples, skincare, haircare, beauty tools, and nail polish. Every bag is completely different from the last!

So lets check out what I received in my April Glam Bag:

Touch in SOL No Proreblem! Primer: Big pores, no problem! Flawless, glowing skin is yours with this pore perfecting primer from Korean beauty brand, Touch in Sol. Lightweight formula that offers seamless coverage for pores, wrinkles + uneven complexion as green tea extract protects + energizes skin, acting as a perfect primer for long-lasting makeup. Apply after moisturizer for best results. (retail value: $18)

Hanalei Aloe Soothing Gel: This proprietary blend of aloe and papaya enzyme, infused with vitamins A, C, and E, cools and moisturizes skin without making it greasy. This lightweight formula can also be used as a makeup base, and will help maintain supple skin throughout the day. This product is cruelty free. (retail value: $30)

Hikari Cream Pigment Eyeshadow: Wear alone or layered under powder eyeshadow for long-lasting color and increased depth. (retail value: $13)

EM Cosmetics Illustrative Eyeliner Brush Tip: The shade I received was in black, and this applicator tip is EVERYTHING!  Its so easy to go from a straight line to a more dramatic winged liner. The pointed tip makes it effortless.  Best of all, it is waterproof and long lasting (retail value NA until 4/17)

Glamour Dolls x Lisa Frank Angled Blush Brush: This particular brush is apart of a collection that right now is only available for pre-order. This unicorn printed with a slanted shape of this handcrafted angled brush will pronounce your cheeks in one easy stroke. Watch how the brush hairs instantly grab color and are similar to that of a unicorn; soft, fluffy, and always cruelty free (retail value $5)

This Month’s Bag: This hawt red-orange bag is clutch for rides on the ferris wheel, killing it at the arcade, or you know, just being your uniquely awesome self all month long.

So if you are ready to expand your cosmetics collection without breaking the bank, this is definitely a great way to get started. So head on over to Ipsy and get on the list to start receiving your own monthly glam bags! You can CLICK HERE to check it out! xoxo
