My New Journey as a Bomb Party Rep


Web:403

 

At this age, I’m not letting fear or anyone else’s opinions hold me back.

I’ve loved jewelry and all things that sparkle since I was a little girl. I've also loved jewelry, accessories, clothes, shoes, purses - all the things we all love, right!?!?! 

Recently, I decided to start a new chapter as a Bomb Party Representative. My official launch is November 1, 2025 and this is completely new to me. In many ways, it feels like coming home to something I’ve always loved - jewelry, fun and community. I also get to sell one of my favorite jewelry lines that I actually wear every day. 


✨ Starting Again with Intention

Over the years, I’ve started and stopped plenty of business ventures and direct sales opportunities. Most of those didn’t work out - not because they couldn’t, but because I wasn’t ready. I didn’t always have the confidence, discipline, or marketing know-how I needed to really be successful.

But this time feels different.

Right now, I’m in a season where I’m dreaming new dreams and giving myself permission to start again with new ventures and old desires

I’m saying yes to opportunities that help me take care of myself and my future, but also ones that let me be creative and connect with my community that supports me. That’s the part I love most - the connection, the laughter, the shared stories, and the encouragement that flows when women show up for each other and connect to build each other up through life's challenges.


💖 It's My Foundation

I come from a hardworking southern family that believes in a hard day's work, earning your way and building a meaningful life. I may not always do things perfectly (and sometimes I’ll stumble) but I refuse to let fear keep me still and complacent.

I’m also learning to let go of worrying about what other people think. The best part about this season of my life is that I get to do it MY way.

If it works out, I'll be ecstatic. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll take what I’ve learned and try something else or rest until something else comes along. Either way, I’m proud that I tried and grateful that I get the chance to try.


🌸 Shine It Forward

This journey is about more than jewelry. It’s about courage, connection, and second chances (and boy has God been solid lately with that for me!). I hope you’ll join me on this journey and be part of the fun as we shine together and Shine It Forward too; one sparkle at a time.

The Beauty of Starting Over: No Matter Your Age

When I turned 40, I experienced something like a rebirth. The way I thought I  should  have felt at 20 - that excitement, confidence, and sense of endless possibility - I finally felt it at 40. It was as if the world had opened wide, and I could truly be and do whatever I wanted. I remember the days leading up to my 40th birthday were heavy - solemn, reflective, even tinged with melancholy and regret. But when I woke up on that morning, I felt something completely different: Gratitude  for another year of life, Joy  knowing I would celebrate intimately with close friends, and Motivation  from the awareness that no day is promised to any of us. That realization pushed me to look at myself with fresh eyes—to believe in myself in the way I should have long before 40. The Result? This Blog and My Permission to Build the Life I Desire Now in my early 40s, I’m leaning into my dream of starting a beauty and lifestyle brand. I’m stepping fully into the woman I once hid ...

I'm A Slug: The Skincare Trend that Changed My Routine

Photo Credit: https://unsplash.com/ If you haven't heard the term "slugging", you've come to the right place. About five years ago I was doing my morning TikTok scroll and a young lady came on my screen doing a 'Get Ready With Me' morning vlog and she had the most beautiful skin I had seen. As I watched the video, she focused a lot on her skincare and over time as I watched more of her videos she talked about her journey with acne, scars, and unruly skin. As someone who has always been into skincare (I used to wake up at 9am and watch Jane Treacy on QVC sell Yves Rocher skincare on Saturday mornings when I was  about 10 years old and I also dreamed of the day I could by Fashion Fair cosmetics from Macy's before I became a teenager!), I am always looking for the next greatest cleanser, moisturizer, toner, serum, exfoliant - you name it. As I've gotten older and my skin has become more mature, I've learned through trial, error, and maxed out store ca...

This Chapter of Womanhood: Embracing the Now

Not too long ago, I shared some thoughts about starting over . I’ve come to truly appreciate how often we as women have the power to stop, shift, and begin again throughout our life. It may not always feel like we have those choices, especially when life is heavy or resources are tight; but even then I’ve learned that the option to “start again” or to pivot is always on the table. It might take some planning, a new strategy, or help from others, but it’s still there.  One thing I’ve always stood on both in life and on social media is this: if you want to start over or be someone different, you can and should do it - unapologetically. But  what if you want to start over so you can be who you used to be? What if you feel stuck or unhappy with who you are now and you want to get back to that girl or woman you used to know? What if you have been unable to start over or begin something new because you just can’t quite be who you used to be? She always did it; but you now, you’re h...
