Mom’s the Word

Mother’s day is just around the corner and you know what that means…Yep! I have been tooling around in my favorite tool shed AKA my crazy craft closet. I love to use my creatively to make my mother a handmade gift. I found some wooden letters at Michaels craft store and some great remnant fabric in my craft closet to create this adorable wall hanging. It’s DIY on the FLY with the perfect gift for Mom for Mother’s Day. Enjoy! To all the mom’s out there have a wonderful blessed day celebrating beautiful you! xo

Live it, love it, create it

Your beauty is their passion! Hair & Nail Creations Salon in Wildwood, FL is all about giving their clients the the best of the best with no exceptions. Owner/ stylist Annette Campetela Fredericks opened her 18 years ago and has become one of the most visited salons in the area. With 6 chairs 3 nail techs and one eststichian walking into Hair & Nail Creations feels like your right at home.

While in the salon last week, everyone from the receptionist to Annette herself was all smiles, laughing and really making the whole place feel inviting. That to me is a salon that you can just tell cares. They care that their clients will walk out with a smile and they care about themselves as stylists to make sure that always happens. Continuing education, attending trade shows and even influening the stylists to watch how to videos in the back room. That shows that even the greats now that there is always something to impress on.

Even in the midst of wanting to be the best salon they can be, Hair & Nail Creations also opens their arms to support other salons. Having friends who own their own salons, Annette said something that shows just what a success she really is. She said she would rather be the person who helps others get to the top of the ladder than be famous for doing it. She has done that. Tsking one of her stylists from the backroom to the showroom who is now working as an editorial stylist & not asking for anything in return. (accept awesome hair lol) That to me is the true definition of success.

So next time you are in Wildwood FL or just to check out more on Annette and her team check out www.hairandnailcreations.com and follow them on FB!

Passion + love = you

Everyday we face something that keeps us from fulfilling a task. It could be getting sick, car breaking down or a blogger with no computer (story of my life right now). But no matter what it is we can always find a way to accomplish what we are wanting to do.

When your passionate about something everything else seems like it’s nothing. I have always been passionate about writing. Ever since third grade I knew i wanted to be a writer. All through high school I was in drama, loved to sing and was still always writing. It was my way of expressing myself. And not only that but I love creating things.

I have a friend who is very well known for his love of mermaids & his designs of mermaids tails. Anytime you saw him he was working on some new tail or swimming. He said that swimming as a merman he becomes transformed. I always looked up to the fact that he was not afraid to say ” yes I am a man who loves mermaids”.

Reminder

Reminder

But see you can be passionate about anything. Only thing is when you love something it’s great but perseverance is the key. Work hard at what you love don’t let others dull your shine. That’s my biggest thing to my readers. Don’t ever be afraid to be you or feel inadequate because of your passion. Don’t apologize for being you, because you is beautiful. You never need to compare yourself to anyone or impress. If people don’t like it then it’s not worth it.

Take your passion and make it happen! Knock down every door, jump over the bumps in the road & keep going! Be strong, be real , be you & now you are loved! Hope you all have a great day! 🙂
