August-October is always a busy time for me, but I truly love it. I thrive off of supporting my friends and colleagues, and find so much joy in problem-solving with them or simply engaging in conversation. Supporting my colleagues so that they can be at their best is a huge part of my role and career. When I'm not working up at school, you'll find me at home - playing with Ellie or spending time with my husband, Matt. In between that, I'm doing laundry, helping with dishes, and writing papers for my course work... (side note: only 2 more years left!). Notice I didn't mention cooking... My hubby has a special talent for that. Okay, I'm rambling.
Besides maintaining a work-life balance, keeping my friendships is also a priority for me. When I can, it's so nice to get my nails done, go shopping, or have lunch with the girls (and blog too!) With the holidays around the corner, I decided it would be fun to host a HUGE shopping event at my house this year for all my friends... And, so many of friends provide access to
amazing products (I'll write a blog post on that later). So, for this event, I have everything from clothing for adults, kids, door decor, cleaning products, skin care, make-up, essential oils... This is when it dawned on me - why not be a part of the event?
I've been toying with the idea of becoming an official Stella & Dot stylist for a while. And, I genuinely adore the pieces created by the company (See a blog post
here from a few years ago!). As I contemplated this idea, there were a million reasons why I wanted to get involved with the company.... and,
why not? Fashion and creativity are a inherently a part of me; and Stella & Dot will allow me to connect with that. So, I decided to take the plunge and go for it! You'll find that I will not be approaching friends to host a party; rather - I plan on keeping my online boutique open and
if a friend wants to host a party (on his/her own accord) I will gladly oblige.
You can shop my boutique here:

One of my favorite pieces that I have purchased for myself and as a sample is the Embroidered Emme Necklace...
If you want to keep up my Stella activity, please feel free to follow my
Facebook page here. I'll post updates there - but I'll update here whenever there is a new collection.
Thanks for your love and support!
