Sometimes, you just have to take a leap & say ‘sod it I’m going for it’ don’t you?
It’s been a hectic week & so a bit of Sunday reflection is welcome this evening.
Last week I helped put on a little event for two local business women; Anna who runs her businesses .couture.boutique & .couture.brides, and Becca who runs
It was the first time we’d done something like this; is very early on in its development with a large proportion of the year spent trying to get my head around a new ‘bread & butter’ job whilst navigating intense sickness in pregnancy.
As the day got nearer & we hadn’t sold LOADS of tickets the doubts started to creep in… imposter syndrome was starting to tap on the door… and whilst there was lots of encouragement, there were also a few suggesting to call it off, cut losses etc…
But we didn’t!
And it was a beautiful little evening of festive fun, like a bespoke, exclusive private shopping evening - I mean who doesn’t love shopping with a glass of fizz in hand?
The really lovely thing? It was mostly a room full of women who hadn’t met before, 2 friends, another 2 friends, a Mum & Daughter, a lady having an evening out on her own, etc etc, all who didn’t know each other before but there was chatter, conversations, mutual oohs & aahs as people tried outfits on & ventured out of the changing rooms. Women building up women, women complimenting women. Women encouraging women. How bloody lovely is that?
It’s such a beautiful atmosphere at Anna’s, & when it came to Becca’s make up demonstration, Becca explains every step, from the ‘how to’, the why - what effect what you’re doing will achieve; why a particular type of product might be good. Her many years of experience from tv to weddings really comes across & she just makes everyone feel sooo at ease.
So Sunday reflection on last week… I’m feeling proud. Of .couture.boutique of and of myself 🦸🏼♀️🦸🏻♀️🦸🏼♀️
So… from small acorns… watch this space for future events as I’m already planning 📒🖊️
