First and Foremost...

Hey my loves!! Finally, I am going to be more active in the blog without overwhelming you with business stuff. I've read that people connect more with owners when they actually get to know them. Since I can't chat or connect with everyone, I decided to start a category for getting to know me, what I do, what I like etc.

In these posts you'll get to see what I do on a daily basis, read some stories or about my day, learn how I motivate myself to keep doing something that sometimes feels hopeless, and a whole lot more!!

So, let's start off with Who I Am.

I am the oldest of seven kids. I grew up. With a lot of responsibility for my younger siblings, literally changing diapers when I was 5. I would learn to make my own food, I cleaned up after everyone and finally when I was eighteen I got frustrated being told to babysit my siblings all the time and never had my own freedom because my parents would go get drunk and stoned instead of acting like parents. Once in awhile we would go to fairs and do fun things but only because they wanted to.

I remember crying and whining because I wasn't allowed to go to friends houses, I was grounded a lot, up at 3,4 even 6 in the morning to feed my brother because my stepdad was always drunk. I was belittled alot because my parents wanted control. But it wasn't all bad I had some fun times. I got my first ohone when I was sixteen, even though I was homeschooled I found time to start working in my music because that was something I was very passionate about. When I got my phone, bi signed up. For Avon to make extra money and from there, I knew I wanted to be a business woman. As most of you know, my mind changed often about what I wanted to do or be: hairdresser, architect, dress designer etc.

I'm not saying my life was horrible, I just grew up with a lot of responsibilities for other people and that's most of the reason why I couldn't stick to anything I liked to do. My mind about what I wanted to do would change too often, I I developed anxiety from not being able to hangout with anyone, never stood up to myself because my own parents would belittle me and told me I had to get used to criticism. Sure, I'm used to it now but because I learned to get support as well as criticism. I've learned to take criticism in a proper way to better myself and my business rather than being belittled for criticism all. The time from people who apparently cared about me.

Today, I'm living at my moms again but until my boyfriend moved in with us, I still let my mom walk all over me. Doug helped me stand up for myself and now we are all the best of friends and not taking anything to heart. I'm focusing on my business, my life, apartment hunting and having a great time with my furbabies. This is me.
