I haven’t been writing as I said I would, my one year anniversary is coming up at the salon- and I’m very excited. Studio 13 salon has been a very stressful little fix up. I had to replace the floor twice, & I had to get the electrical updated. I felt like every time I took two steps forward- I let out a sigh of relief and then I got knocked back down. I try to stay positive in a way by saying it could be worse- but I’m surrounded by patient staff, I have help in the construction industry and my landlord is more than what I expected on financially helping me. Today is the first of the month and I’ve incorporated always manifesting, counting my blessing and setting my intentions the first of the month. I blow cinnamon into my salon and hope the girls are booked, busy and of course happy.
I recently picked up a book I saw at PHANhaus. I honestly thought it was a doodle book, and I thought it would be perfect for clients who don’t want to be on their phone, talk or watch tv. But it turns out it’s a book I will forever re read. It’s about being open minded to creativity, to be a artist and take risk without any type of shame! I was barely on pge 9 and I instantly got inspired. I told the girls at work to really take the time to read it- and I left some little notes on things I def agree on. My goal as a salon owner, girl boss, and boss ass biiiiiitxh is to always inspire the people who work with me, I want them to be confident! I want them to never doubt themselves! And I want them to be successful.
I feel like I’m personally at a stage in my life where I am proud of who I have became. (That is really hard for me to admit) because I feel like I always give myself some type of doubt and say “I should’ve done this, I could’ve done that” and even when I’m resting my mind does not give me a minute to breathe. I’m independent, I get shit done, and I want nothing but to be happy in whatever I do. As a independent woman I am proud to be where I am, I am proud of me- because no matter what shitty situation gets thrown at me, I figure it out. With or without the help of others.
I recently changed payroll providers, and they were asking for paper trail, it took me 4 days and a bunch of files going back and forth via email to get that situated. I spent a whole weekend re organizing my salon, and cleaning it after remodel.. but in the process of that I decided that by March of 2023 I would love to have a nail artist in the salon. I also was able to finally realize that it was time to decorate my room. I moved my mirror to a different location and I’m excited to add a little personality into my private studio. I’m so excited for that! It’s taken me a couple months 11months to finally be like “this is my aesthetic”
I’ve also been inspired by writing affirmations, it started with me being depressed and trying to talk nice to myself. I wrote down 25 affirmations and some manifestation on sticky notes and put them on one side of my closet door, when I’m having a very bad day- the next morning I close my eyes and grab whatever sticky note I touch first or that accidently I sticks and lands on the floor. My rules are – if it grabbed your attention- there’s a reason.. I needed to remind my self on that affirmation and I love it. It’s something that makes me think more positive about my life. So at the salon I have incorporated a affirmation jar. Everyone absolutely loves it. Because it’s a small positive note that someone might need for the day.
My horoscope said this was going to be my month to bloom, I’m taking it and running with it. I’m not looking for extra money & I’m not looking for fame – I’m looking to inspire, wether it be in videos they see and pick up a new technique, a new formula, a video template, or confidence! I want to inspire , I know I can be inspirational- all it takes is hustle!
Just being honest-
