Beautiful Inside Out with Dee

Just a girl…

Being reminded that life isn’t only about responsibilities.

It’s about making the time to create memories too. 💙

…while losing a slipper while walking one vacay at a time 🫣

I have truly been blessed in this life.
I’d say these 2 are my greatest blessings.

Just a little reminder for you this spring…

I see so many of you working hard right now, juggling a lot, and still showing up with heart every single day.

Keep going. This is your season. 🌷

Happy 20th Birthday, Makala!!

How awesome is it to have a daughter like you?!

Cool, smart, thoughtful, kind and always true to self. 🤍

Love hanging out with you!!

Wishing you the absolute BEST day!

She knows who she is.
She knows what she wants.

Life has stretched her.
Life has humbled her.
Life has taught her things she never expected to learn.

But it has also made her stronger.

She keeps showing up.
Even when it’s uncomfortable.
Even when it feels messy.
Even when no one else sees the vision yet.

She keeps learning.
She keeps growing.
She keeps moving forward.

And one day she realizes…

She’s becoming the woman she once needed.

And she knows there is still so much more life ahead of her to live.

Maybe this sounds a little like you too. 🩷

Still thinking about this performance...

It was a high quality, high vibrancy show (almost like a musical) with storytelling, history, culture & awareness...With messages of hope, love, & unity.

One highlight for me...Bad Bunny’s football written with the words, “Together, we are America” and then he proceeds to say the names of ALL the countries in the continents of North and South America.

And when he said “Jamaica”...then a bit later, says, “Canada”, I was like: “You know what?! Heck yes!! We are all one people.”

Totally felt it.

Well done, Benito ❤

5 years ago today, I officially walked away from the 9 to 5! 🎉
And you know what? I’ve never looked back.

I’d been unhappy for a long time. Anxious. Exhausted. Feeling like my days were slipping away on things that didn’t matter in the grand scheme of things. You know that moment when you zoom out and think… why am I always on edge? It’s not like I’m saving lives!!

My health was taking a hit.
My kids needed me.
And I wanted my time back.
So I quit.

Yes I was nervous about my decision but continuing felt worse.

My saving grace was my online business. It made the leap feel possible. It gave me income to fall back on, flexibility, new skills, a community, and the confidence that I could build something of my own. It reminded me that I’m more than capable.

Then not long ago, I found my way back to accounting but this time on my terms.

I opened a bookkeeping business specifically for interior designers and it has been such a rewarding shift.

I get to help creatives make sense of their money, I work from home, I choose who I partner with, and I actually enjoy what I do again.

I’m grateful every day for how my online business set me up for this next chapter. It really was the jumping off point.

So… if you’re sitting there wanting something different… it’s never too late to pivot.

There are so many possibilities waiting for you 🤍

But also?! I’m still your girl for all things clean skin care and wellness. It’s still my jam too obviously!

💫You’re allowed to choose a life that feels lighter. 💫
