  • The Final Days @The Shops At La Cantera Pop Up Went Like This…

    The Final Days @The Shops At La Cantera Pop Up Went Like This…

    As you know we had a pop up shop for 8 days at The Shops At La Cantera in San Antonio, Tx.  The first four days was from April 20th to 23th.  I went over all the details week one here.  Now, take a look at how the final days went…

    It all started like it did like it does every show, with my fiancé and I loading all of the merchandise, racks, tents, etc from the parking lot to our spot.  From there it takes about an 1-2 hours to neatly hang everything and place all accessories in its’ proper place.

    You never know what to expect at these events.  That’s why it’s always important to bring your patience.  I love to talk and have no problems with keeping myself busy.  Although, at least once a day, I send out a help! signal because I am in desperate need of  a potty break or snack.

    It also helps that other small businesses had pop up at the event.  Lucky for me, one of them just happen to sell wine.  A girl has to stay entertained… 🍷

    Additionally, my girl, Manni, was there in a BLB ‘fit.

    I also had the pleasure of meeting so many new bombshells!  Corresponding with people through social media and email is one thing but in-person is a whole ‘other level.  Who knew that I would be asking questions from what to a wedding to how to make your boobs look good in a spaghetti strap dressed.  I am telling you…these pop ups make me feel like I am in fashion heaven!

    On Saturday night, I was at dinner and it was ruined once I noticed how fast the trees outside the window were swaying.  Not this again.  If you read last weeks’ post them you will know that wind is not my friend.  The only thing that I could think about during the entire dinner, “can the canopy withstand that type wind?”    I mean, it’s a nice canopy but that doesn’t mean that it was sturdy.  I worried and thought about it so much that we decided to take a trip back to the shop to make sure things were okay.  And Thank God we did!  The canopy was on three legs and clothing racks were making a trip down the sidewalk!

    Other than the uncontrollable acts of God, the pop up was a complete success.  Thanks to everyone came out to shop, chat, look around or simply take a card.  I truly appreciate it!  And to those of you who are not in the San Antonio area, no worries, we might be coming through your part of the map.  Be sure to follow us so that you can come get your dose of fearlessness when we are in your town!

    What city should we pop up in?  Let me know in the comments…

    Fearless Woman: Noni Ayana

    Happy Fearless Woman Friday 💙

    It has been a few weeks since the story of a fearless woman has been shared.  I know you all have been patiently waiting for the next episode to show itself and you aren’t the only ones!

     This week I am over the moon excited to introduce you to Noni Ayana.   Noni is a sex guru of sorts…no really!  As a sexologist, sexuality educator and sexuality practitioner for the last 6 years, it is safe to say that she has learned alot of useful information in her studies.  One of the biggest issues she found, for instance, is that married couples aren’t talking about s-e-x.  That had me wondering, “How do couples know that they are pleasing eachother if they are talking about it enough to know?”  Thank goodness, Noni has made it her business to solve this problem.  She created a company that offers premarital counseling and consulting services to couples.  In this weeks’ episode, Noni shares how she lives the fearless life by removing the fears that surround sexuality.

     Sounds like a game changer for couples! Thoughts?

    Happy Fearless Woman Fridays 💙

    Today I am happy to introduce you to our Fearless Woman this week, Laura Naomi. When Laura contacted me about her story, the first question that I asked her was, “Why would you call yourself fearless?” Her answer was, “I have been called fearless by others and in those moments of fearlessness it didn’t feel that way to me. I was just simply following a calling and that calling was something deep inside me and I felt it in my whole heart. I have done things that possibly a lot of people haven’t or wouldn’t.” After hearing that, I knew not only did I need to know more about her but you did too. Listen to Lauras’ fearless story…
