Becoming a Boss Babe

I, just like most of you, dreamed of running my own business. Now I’m doing it.

Becoming a Boss Babe

Recently at the beginning of this year I took a step outside of my comfort zone and into event planning. I wanted to share what I have learned the last two months.

Somedays you're going to question yourself.

I read something when I was beginning this journey that said something alone the lines of, write a letter to yourself about why this is your dream and why you are so motivated to achieve it, then when you are questioning why you are doing something go back to that letter and read it.

You may not get business right away.

& that's okay! To get my first event I offered my services completely for free. Spent 5+ hours putting together two balloon arches as I realized that you can get blisters from tying balloons. Was it worth it? ABSOLUTELY! From that event alone I have made a friend who not only owns her own business but was previous in event planning in Cali.

Networking makes all the difference.

Network. Network. & Network. I have gotten so much just from networking! I made an Instagram for Delicate Details and from there I found my first event as well as other connects! One connect helped me get my contract looked over by a lawyer FOR FREE! You never know how you could help someone else or how someone else could help you!

If you have been debating stepping out of your comfort zone for your dream I would love to hear about it! Share down in the comments or message me on my Instagram!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
