After doing tons of research and using my own funding to start it, I took a big chance. God gave me the idea to go ahead and create your own and pay for it yourself. I invested all my savings and made it back in 2 months after introducing my first scent.
Currently my goals are increasing brand awareness. Skyn Culture Clinical Spa is a one-of-a-kind clinical aesthetic center that combines medical aesthetics, education, and privacy. Skincare has always taken the back seat to hair and makeup. My primary goal is to bring skincare to the forefront and show that glowing skin is just as rewarding as bouncy hair.
I am always on the lookout for professionals who can support my growing clientele, i.e., business owners. I network quite a bit; I make cold calls to other professionals who can support my clients’ development and post consistently on social media with entertaining estate planning stories.
I have read all her books and I just started her most recent book “The Greatest Secret”. The opening sounds just like I am reading my own story. She has been on a constant search just like me to find the secrets to life.
Read MoreI design based on feel and if it’s for a client it’s based on vibe. We have a knack for finding meaningful details that express the character and individuality of a person. We also pride ourselves on collaborating with others because our craftsmanship stands alone. Details are expressive and with a vibe that Good Tidings provides, it makes the process seamless.
Read MoreThe collaboration between Brandon and myself happened organically and in the flow. I walked into his shop one Sunday afternoon with Marissa from @tavola_rosa after an event we hosted at Bella Cucina and I immediately loved the energy he exuded. Brandon’s authentic and witty personality seemed so well translated in his handcrafted work. Every hat looked like a piece of art. We talked about food, fashion, dreams and decided right there to reach for the stars by creating a hat collection together.

The best way to look your best in the summer is by wearing colors that bring out the beauty of the season. Colors like Coral, Red, Pink and Blues are perfect for this time of year.

Read MoreI wish that someone would have been honest enough to share with me earlier in my career as a business owner that you will have more failures than successes. I think I would have been a little more prepared for the stumbles along the way.

Read MoreQ: As glamorous as being an Instagram influencer looks, what are the biggest struggles you’ve found with this line of work?
The biggest struggles I face are time management. With being a full-time student, having a part-time job, and being an Instagram influencer, time management can cause many issues. My boyfriend, who is my photographer, is a full-time student and has a full-time job. I have to check his availability to align our schedules for a shoot day. I have tried to balance everything, but I stress out a lot for trying to grow too fast.
Read MoreQ: As glamorous as being an Instagram influencer looks, what are the biggest struggles you’ve found with this line of work?
Prioritizing my days! When you’re an influencer, you sign up for a job that requires you to wear a lot of different hats. I am my own Creative Director, Secretary, Model, Photographer, Graphic Designer, and Business Developer.
