Welcome to Fragrance Friday x Flashback Friday! As you likely saw on Instagram or in marketing emails, yesterday was National Fragrance Day. As I reflected on this occasion, it brought me back to a very pivotal moment in my former career, where fragrance, innovation, and sheer determination converged to shape my journey ahead. It all began with a scent – Flowerbomb by Viktor and Rolf to be exact. This fragrance, with its intoxicating blend of floral notes and sensuality, not only became my all-time personal favorite fragrance but also sparked a vision for something greater. Ok y’all, story time…
Read MoreIn a world that often glorifies relentless daily grind, I’m here to shake the table and redefine consistency. I’ve learned that it’s essential to recognize that true consistency for me as a creator isn't about robotically putting out content day after day. Instead, it's about finding a rhythm that aligns with my life, values, and creative process. So today, I’m sharing five things I'm normalizing as I continually redefine consistency, and perhaps they will set you free, too.
Read MoreClosing a business that you've poured your heart and soul into for a decade is not easy. It's a decision filled with mixed emotions, reflecting on the past while stepping into the unknown future.

Aside from the joy of fun in the sun, my trip reaffirmed 4 important things.
Read MoreAs glow getters, we desire to remain committed to achieving our goals. One thing that happens occasionally though in our quest to achieve a new goal is we forget the path that led to achieving goals we’ve crushed in the past.

No matter what your next goal is, I’ve shared 5 steps to help you along, just like they have helped me consistently.

I’m currently focusing in on the following 5 ways to show up for me - no matter what…

Often times we are way harder on ourselves than we are on others. I'm working hard to give myself grace, just like I do others. However, I also recognize the dangers of too much grace. If we're not careful, sometimes grace turns into excuses for stagnation. Today, I want to share some of my perspectives on how grace and grind plays into our personal and professional growth.

Read MoreI don't believe that any of us are meant to do life alone. ‘Your people’ aren't the same as mine, but we all have our person/people who are an important part of our lives.
