Hey stranger!
I haven’t chatted with my babes in quite some time. Truth is life happens and I’ve been super busy. But as I always say, being busy is better than being bored.
The last time we talked, I was in a much different place. I had just lost my store, Simple & Feminine, in a terrible flood. I also had just lost a ton of blog content due to some crazy hacker on the other side of the country. Basically, I had a lot of shit happening in my life. I was feeling very down and uninspired with my blog and business. I was in a place of transition and I needed to take a break from social media, blogging, etc. to really figure out what I was going to do and how I was going to move forward.
Guys, I was devastated. Heartbroken. Confused. Angry. Hopeful. Motivated.
I didn’t want my story to end this soon and I didn’t want it to have a sad ending.
I’ve put too much energy into TBD and my boutique for it to end in a negative way. You know?
So, after some much needed time off, I decided to get back on my feet.
I put a vision board together and an action plan for my next move.
I started my vision board on a Friday afternoon and the following Monday morning, I was looking at a new retail space!
Guys, manifestation is REAL. When you put out your intentions to the universe, watch and see how things bend and shift for you.
So, within 2 weeks I had the keys to my new retail space for my boutique and it was time to get to work.
I’m so thankful for my friends and family because they’ve been there through it all. My boyfriend literally hand built everything for me in my store, and my mom helped with the merchandising. She’s amazing at helping me bring my visions to life.
In 3 weeks, the new doors to S&F were open and ready to go! Crazy, right?
I did a little Youtube Video documenting the process of getting the second location up and running. I get so many messages and emails with you guys asking for more business content- I want to answer all of those questions on Youtube that way you can refer back to those videos forever.
I’m going to do a more dedicated blog post on the process of re-opening my boutique but I wanted to pop in today and say hello, update & share the new Youtube video with you.
Please email me or comment on this post with any questions you’d like me to answer when it comes to starting a boutique.
Thanks for always following & supporting.
xx

Congratulations 🎉🎈 So I just wanna stop in to tell you that this is really a good tutorial on how to open up a business. Although you went through so much you didn’t let it keep you down, you got up and did it again. I appreciate on your cell phone because it’s more personal and real and your shop is amazing, it would be items that I would buy. The name that you selected for your shop fits perfect “Simply & Feminine”
