Taking time every day to do something that makes me happy - talking to friends, listening to a favorite song at full blast, going for a walk, drawing, or searching for vintage. I find that when you can do something to make yourself happy (even something small), it shines through.

How do you remind yourself that you are a goddess everyday?
By taking time for myself.

I feel like a goddess when I am able to express my creativity. One way I do this is to take the time to dress in a way that I can express myself or show a bit of my personality.

My dream destination right now is to go on an archeological dig in Greece.

I like to go places that I have never been before - an adventure. I recently got back from St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands. I had never been there before and loved discovering a new place.

Lovely Day by Bill Withers

14. Tell us about the work you do and why is it important to women.
I collect, curate and sell vintage clothing and costume jewelry. I love to help women feel special and to help them express their creativity by wearing vintage pieces.

Green.
