unlocking your tribe....What does this really mean?

I recently went to an event hosted by one of my favorite women empowerment agencies called Savoir Collab. They really are great and you should most definitely sign up to their newsletter and attend their events which most are free and super fun and knowledge filled! Not to mention so inspirational! Simply go to savoiragency.com to sign up!

The event I attended was a panel with 4 women running their own business and discussing what it means to " unlock your tribe" You are probably wondering where am I going with this? Well it's quite simple. What it means is utilizing your network for their resources and trading services with friends or people you know. For Example, if you are an aesthetician and your friend is a make up artist you swap services without exchanging a fee. Kind of like a trade. Always try to be fair in your trade and make sure that both people are happy with what they're getting. Tapping into your own network is always the first thing you should do before reaching outside to other vendors. First of all you will be saving $, this is especially great for those starting their own business and you're also supporting your friends as the same time.

The other aspect of this is to also share your network contacts with others. This is a theory I like to call " if you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours." Refer your friends to others for their services and needs and help them grow their business. Don't be an ego driven bitch that wants all the success to herself. That's just selfish and gross! Share what you know and who you know and others will do the same for you! End of the day we all want to grow and elevate ourselves! A tribe is always a better support system than just you by yourself! This of course is in reference to work related topics only. So go out there and expand your horizons and share share share!

NYC Fashion > LA Fashion

As I recently took a short trip to NYC I of course observed all the fashion and the visual displays on Madison Ave, 5th Ave and more. NY is such a beautiful place to be and there is so much to see. I would walk at times on my own and just observe and take it all in, it was an amazing experience. NY remains to be my #1 place to live and be a part of . Its really the center of the universe with its diversity. Now onto the Fashion. As always I love designer resale stores. NYC happens to have some of the best ones. I went to my favorite again which is simply called "Designer Resale" also known as "The miracle on 81st  Street". Not only are things priced fairly but they have the best selection on the Upper East Side and in NY period. As I walked in I fell in love with a Chanel bag. Imagine, small elegant on a long chain and python. I asked the sales girl to let me see it. I thought to myself its probably over 2k but let me just see it ! To my surprise it was a fraction...

just thoughts.... after being in a trap

Hi everyone this is my first blog, I haven't really wrote one in quite a long time. I'd like to express myself by revealing my feelings and thoughts from time to time. At this time I'm going thru what you can call a revelation. I've realized that the person I was dating on and off for 3 yrs now has turned out to be a complete stranger to me. I know him inside out probably better than he knows himself but I'd prefer for him to be a stranger from now on. Although we've lived together for about 2 yrs the whole relationship was pretty much on my shoulders because i was the head of the relationship unfortunately because I was blindly in love. But what can you say more than just shit happens and you have to live and learn and move on. It was almost like babysitting a child, he had no job was trying to do stuff with his life but it wasn't really working out, and i can admit that he was pretty much taking advantage of the situation, but because love is so blind i ...

Revelations .... written 11/15/11

Isn't it funny how most people prefer to read personal blogs and are more interested in the drama and the gossip than anything else? I was debating all day today whether I should write a personal blog about my feelings and or what I'm thinking as of today and decided to go for it. As in the past it might have hurt some people and or got me in some trouble. But this is purely about my thoughts. Recently I have experienced some lows in my life and I noticed that it happens through out life and you begin to grow and discover more about yourself every day of your life. Some people enter your life while others exit, some interests replace old ones, some feelings develop as others disappear, so on and so forth. At this point in my life I feel disconnected from a several people in my life. It can go both ways, It may be me and how I feel or it may be the other person depending on what your preferences are in different situations. One thing is for sure, you cant expect people to have t...
