  • Not feeling productive this week?

    Are you not feeling very productive this week? You’re not alone. This has been a roller coaster kinda week. With many emotions, feelings and wonders. We are all trying to figure out what’s to come. No one really knows for sure and all we have left to do is put one feet in front of the other and keep on moving forward.

  • Pink on the go

    As a cancer survivor I can’t let a day go by without being thankful. Thankful for being here, raising my girls, loving my family, making handbags for you and growing in such a beautiful community of smart, creative, and powerful women. I have in my heart all the women that are fighting cancer at this moment, that have fought cancer at some point of their lives or that are care takers of a relative going through this tough battle. My prayers are will all of you.
