Ok ya’ll, I’m going to let you in on a little secret-
It is STRESSFUL being a small business owner, especially when money is tight, the economy is uncertain and no matter how hard you try to post, advertise, and sway people to come in and support you, big box stores and online giants continue to prove that the small business model is not as important to uphold and maintain for those just looking for the best deals or absolute convenience. Even when we support local businesses and individuals living in our local community, such as women recovering from cancer, the road is very narrow when it comes to those who will actually make the time to come in and buy something or even shop online.
Local businesses are sadly becoming a dying breed, as we’re slowly replaced out of sheer convenience for shopping at places like Amazon. We live in the era of the dot com convenience and if we can save a few bucks, well it’s history.
Still, there is no big box stores that can replace the personality that small businesses bring. We ARE the lifeblood that makes a community thrive and no matter what, our communities need small businesses to thrive and mature.
Our business supports women. We exist to support inclusion, body positivity, and we provide a platform where anyone can walk into our store, feel safe, supported and absolutely beautiful no matter where they are in life. We empower women by providing intimates that make us feel good! We also LOVE the opportunity we have to work with women who are on their own personal healthcare journey following breast cancer. It’s both of THESE women who really make what we do worth it! If this is you, you’re our “WHY”.
It’s not easy being a woman and we are ALL up against a media stream that says we have to look a certain way to be beautiful or even acceptable. That’s just a lie! We ARE beautiful! You are beautiful, worthy, important and we are going to scream it from the rooftops!!
We keep on, keeping on because we get our strength from watching you. If you can, we can. Thank you for showing us and everyone else that it is our resilience that defines us.
So yes, we will be throwing in the towel on mainstream ideals, focusing in on the true essence of women-our resilience! To really embrace this and showcase this to our followers, we are going to offer a photo shoot opportunity for any women we currently work with. Pregnant, nursing, post mastectomy, curvy, petite, and everything that IS the essence of women and who we are and where we are. We’re going to paint a picture, carve out a vision that shows our beauty, our imperfections as our badges of honor and we are going to tell YOUR story!
Will you join us??
