Outside of my husband and my Oak Street Social partner, Hallie was the first person to believe in our cause and support our tiny start up business that has now become what it is today. I remember the phone call as I sat in my partner's house working on big picture stuff. We didn't know each other but I admired her work. On a whim, I emailed her asking for a call. I needed raw and real talent to help us create a vision and the actual product for our social media strategy. Photography is such a GIANT and important piece of our deliverable.

Behind The Scenes: Blogger Fall Lookbook Shoot

I am nothing if not a huge supporter of small businesses. Turns out two of my friends started out with a small business which is now, a booming mecca of stylish jewelry, accessories and more recently, clothing. I couldn't be more proud of my two sister friends and all they've accomplished. I was honored that they requested my presence at their Fall look book photo shoot a couple weeks ago.

Introducing t+j Designs! If you aren't familiar with them yet - get familiar because I promise you will be hearing a lot more from them. They just entered into the clothing sector with chic skirts and graphic tees. I am simply swooning over their h andbags, too. (P/S I must own this bag!)

101's Hidden Gems: Leah Chavie Skincare Boutique

Sometimes I wonder why I don't do things like weekly blow outs and makeovers more often. Then I remember it's because I have zero time to myself as I perch upon my bathroom vanity squeezing the life out of my used up eye cream...praying for an overnight miracle.

Truth is, we should do more for ourselves. If that means getting your nails done weekly or your makeup done professionally for a special date night - well darn it, I think you should do it. Women run around caring for their husbands, kids, neighbors, ailing parents and just about everyone under the sun including the mail man. Frankly, it's nice to have someone give you the VIP treatment.

Which brings me to my next topic. The VIP treatment is at Leah Chavie Skincare Boutique which also happens to be today's 101's Hidden Gem destination!
