How can you ask someone else to believe in you if you don't even believe in yourself? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Believing in yourself is HARD WORK. Or at least it is for many people. We often mistake confidence for cockiness (there's a difference). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When I'm working with other business owners, I find this is one of the biggest struggles they face when trying to book clients. They can't figure out why nobody is booking them, but it's because when they're talking about their product or service THEY DON'T EVEN BELIEVE IN WHAT THEY'RE SELLING YOU. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That was the biggest mindset shift for me---realizing sales wasn't some sleazy thing like selling someone a used car that you know full well is a total lemon. Understanding the value of what you're offering and understanding that by selling that value you are actually doing your clients a favor. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm not helping anyone by not believing in myself. But by believing in myself and the results I can offer my brides, I feel so comfortable and confident talking with my clients about my services and what I offer. Because I know that what I offer isn't for everyone, and that's okay. But for my ideal clients, what I offer is exactly what they need and want for their wedding day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So fellow biz owners, tell me. Is this something you struggle with? How have you been able to overcome confidence issues? Or if you haven't, what do you think is holding you back? . . . . #bepassionate #followyourdream #yearofyou #thoughtsarethings #liveyourtruth #letyourlightshine #authenticself #betruetoyou #betruetoyourself #purposedrivenlife #whatsyourwhy #lifeonyourterms #purposedriven #womenwithambition #coachingtips #coachingbusiness #coachinglife #successcoach #brandingcoach #businesscoaching #lifestylecoach #personalcoaching #marketingcoach #chicagomakeupartist #bridalmakeupartist #weddingmakeupartist #chicagobride #lifeofanentrepreneur #smallbizsquad #chicagowedding
You guys, the seasons changing always has me so conflicted. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On one hand, I HATE being cold. I hate the snow, hate dealing with slush, hate having to bundle up just to leave the house for 5 minutes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On the other hand, I love the holiday season. There's just something so magical about fresh snow and hot chocolate and stockings hung over a roaring fire and Christmas carols playing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And I LOVE winter weddings. It's probably because the colors that are traditionally "winter" colors are my favorite, but they're just so beautiful! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So tell me, are you excited for the seasons to change? Or are you dreading it? Or are you like me and a little bit of both? . . . . #weddingdayready #bridalmusings #theweddinglegends #weddingforward #delightinthedetails #loveisanadventure #feyonce #herecomesthebride #tyingtheknot #jinglealltheway #christmasvibes #winterisback #winterweather #winterfeels #ruggedup #winternight #wintervacation #winterisnotover #gettingcold #missingwinter #isitwinteryet #waitingforwinter #winterinsummer #chicagomakeupartist #bridalmakeupartist #weddingmakeupartist #chicagobrides #weddingentrepreneurs #girlbosslife #shepreneur
Pete and I have very similar attitudes about mornings. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I had such a wonderful weekend full of weddings but I am most definitely taking full advantage of my bed today. With a 2:30am alarm set yesterday I definitely needed it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How are you spending your Sunday? . . . . #selfcaresunday #selfcaretips #selfcareday #selfcarefirst #selfcaresundays #selfcaretime #selfcareishealthcare #selfcarematters #selfloveclub #selflovefirst #teamself #selflovejourney #selfloveisthebestlove #selfacceptance #takecareofyoursoul #bridalmakeupartist #chicagomakeupartist #chicagobrides #sundayfunday #dogswag #doggoals #happydoglife #dogbestfriend #doggygram #doggoals #girlandherdog #dogmommy #doglifestyle #dogphotooftheday #happydoghappylife
Marching into the weekend like.... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But seriously, I think if I had a cape to wear around all the time I'd probably walk everywhere like this! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I spent today catching up, preparing for this weekend, and now get to go enjoy myself with a wonderful friend and laugh until our faces hurt watching @harikondabolu. Stand up comedy is one of my favorite things to watch. I feel like the world is so stressful lately that I never want to watch anything unless it will make me laugh. So tell me about your favorite comedians, anyone I should check out? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photography: @hellohaileyamber Event Planning & Styling: @etvoilaevents Florals: @pollen.house HMUA: @meghana_rose Model: @sammi_jo.d Dress: @alexandragrecco Shoes: @bellabelleshoes Ribbon: @froufrouchic Stationery: @kelseymaliecalligraphy Cake: @missmollycafe Chairs: @eventessentialsmadison Rentals: @relicsvintagerentals Venue: @villaterracemuseum Film Scans: @thefindlab . . . . #weddingmakeupartist #chicagobride #bridalmakeupartist #chicagomakeupartist #chicagobridalmua #weddingseason #chicagomua #weddingmakeup #weddingmakeupchicago #lifeofanentrepreneur #babesinbusiness #onewomanshop #imperfectboss #followingmydreams #pursueyourpassion #shepreneur #youngentreprenuers #goaldiggers #girlbosslife #entrepreneursofinstagram #embracelife #createyourreality #ownyourlife #selfcarefirst #selfcaresundays #selfcaretime #selfcareritual #selfcareeveryday #selfcareishealthcare #selfcarematters
I am writing to you today from one of my favorite places. I don't know what it is about the mountains and the desert but there are few places that make my soul feel as at peace. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I spent the last few days relaxing (well, as much as I am able to), going to the spa, and spending time in beautiful Arizona. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am most definitely excited to go home and see my pups, but I'm always sad to leave this magical place. I've gotten to spend the last three mornings waking up and having breakfast on my balcony while overlooking the mountains. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love you, Chicago, but you just can't compete with that. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am excited to get home for a full weekend of weddings, though! I get to serve two amazing brides this weekend and help them look gorgeous for their wedding day. . . . . #thattravelblog #theculturetrip #thetravelwomen #backpackerstory #speachlessplaces #todolistguide #travelgirlsgo #travelinladies #girlaroundtheworld #beautifulexplorers #letsflyawayto #citizenfemme #letsgowonder #theglobalgirls #shetravelz #traveletting #femaletravelbloggers #girlsvsglobe #starttheadventure #travellust #thewanderlusty #thattravelblog #girlgetters #chicagowedding #weddingmakeupartist #bridalmakeupartist #girlbosslife #followingmydreams #weddingentrepreneurs #pursueyourpassion
I often feel lucky to have sort of stumbled into Indian weddings. I didn't originally set out to work with Indian brides specifically, but the more weddings I did the more I loved working with my South Asian clients. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am half Indian but was raised primarily by my white mom, so it's been really cool for me to be able to experience half of my culture so much more than I had the chance to when I was young. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And now, working with mainly Indian brides I absolutely love everything about it and most definitely want to wear a sari for at least part of my own wedding! . . . . #theknot #chicagowedding #weddingmakeup #weddingmakeupartist #bridalmakeup #weddingmua #chicagobride #weddingchicks #maharaniweddings #bridalmakeupartist #chicagobridal #chicagobridalhair #chicagomakeupartist #bridalmua #chicagobridalmua #weddingseason #illinoismakeupartist #stylemepretty #chicagomua #followingmydreams #weddingmakeup #weddingmakeupchicago #indianbride #indianweddings #desibrides #chicagoindianwedding #chicagoindianmakeupartist #indianmakeup #indianmakeupblogger #southasianwedding @thebigfatindianwedding @maharaniweddings @theknot @junebugweddings @stylemepretty @martha_weddings @brides @100_layercake @weddingchicks @oncewed @greenweddingshoes
Two of the things I love most in this world are animals and travel, and those are the two things that I try to fill my life with as much of as possible. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is me, in Athens, Greece, making a new furry friend. Aka living all of my dreams (little did I know mere days later I'd be in Santorini surrounded by SO. MANY. PUPPIES.). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My favorite thing about being self-employed is the freedom to do whatever I want, whenever I want. I love to explore the world and am so happy to have a career that I have designed to support that life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So tell me fellow travel junkies, where are the top places on your want to visit list? Japan and New Zealand are at the top of my list! . . . . #catswag #catstuff #catsruleeverythingaroundme #handsomecat #catsleep #thattravelblog #thetravelwomen #backpackerstory #speachlessplaces #todolistguide #travelgirlsgo #travelinladies #girlaroundtheworld #beautifulexplorers #travel #travellove #travels #traveler #wanderlust #travelblogger #travellust #TravelDiary #TravelTips #TravelMore #TravelAddict #explorer #exploring #weddingentrepreneurs #weddingbusiness #weddingmakeupartist
Happy Fall, y'all! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's my favorite season, and let's be real with Chicago weather I'm going to celebrate when I can because who knows when the weather will take a dramatic turn? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I've definitely been enjoying some hot drinks and snuggling up under blankets now that it's cooling down. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What's your favorite fall tradition? . . . . #autumndays #fallfestivities #hellofall #crispair #crunchyleaves #halloweentown #halloweencountdown #sweaterseason #warmcolors #waitingforfalL #autumniscoming #cozyvibes #cuddleseason #cuddleweather #autumnal #hotchoc #fallyall #pumpkinspiceeverything #pumpkinseason #fallscents #fallsimyfavorite #pumpkinspice #whitepumpkin #fallready #octoberiscoming #fallmood #weddingbusiness #weddingmakeupartist #entrepreneur #girlbosslife
My friend @yourdaybymk recently got me thinking about the impact we have on the world around us. In the time that we live in where we are being bombarded by a 24 hour news cycle it is easy to feel small and insignificant. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But the cool part is when you actually spend time thinking about the impact that you are able to have on others instead of the impact that you are able to have on the world everything starts to seem just a bit more hopeful. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I feel a bit powerless to exact change on a national level, but I can create a positive impact in my client's lives, helping them to feel beautiful on their wedding day and helping to create a day that is all about them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I find extreme fulfillment in being able to serve others and help them to have an unforgettable wedding day, and when I zoom out to all of the people's lives that my clients bring positivity to, and keep zooming out, well, it's a pretty big ripple effect. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I guess this is my long and rambly way of saying that if we all strive to be a little bit more compassionate and positive on a day to day basis then the world might just be a better place. . . . . . #lawofvibration #wanderingmind #highvibetribe #mindfulnessmatters #weddingbusiness #shepreneur #lifeofanentrepreneur #weddingentrepreneurs #weddingentrepreneur #pursueyourpassion #girlswhohustle #goaldiggers #abundantlife #womanonamisson #youngentrepreneurs #highvibes #followingmydreams #radiatepositivity #positivethinker #inspirationalthoughts #takecareofyoursoul #alwaysgrowing #businesscoaching #personalcoaching #brandingcoach #successcoach #heartcentered #bossbabequotes #abundancemindset #ambitiouswomen
I’ve been catching up on podcasts recently while getting some work done. ⠀ ⠀ I’m a huge podcast junkie, and I love all different kinds. Comedy, interview, true crime, business, history, whatever. ⠀ ⠀ Can you tell I’m a nerd? 🤓⠀ ⠀ And because I can’t stop discovering new shows that I love I want to hear about you all and what you love listening to! Hopefully I can find a few new shows to binge! ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #chicagobride #bridalmakeupartist #chicagomakeupartist #chicagobridalmua #weddingseason #chicagomua #weddingmakeup #weddingmakeupchicago #bridetobe2018 #lifeofanentrepreneur #babesinbusiness #womenonamission #savvybusinesschick #smallbizsquad #onewomanshop #imperfectboss #girlswhohustle #followingmydreams #pursueyourpassion #shepreneur #youngentreprenuers #goaldiggers #girlbosslife #entrepreneursofinstagram #abundantlife #mindfulnessmatters #highvibes #youcreateyourownreality #thankyouuniverse
