Centennial Confessions
“Okay, so picture this: we walked off on a function that wanted a whole cover charge just to breathe their air… which it’s like understandable, nothings free in 2025? but like.. us? pay? no.
So, naturally, we pivoted to the next best thing: Centennial Park.”
and girl, thank god we did.
We're strolling, sun's doing its thing, and I'm trying to channel my inner nature goddess. One moment, I'm marveling at the verdant expanse, the next I'm contemplating the sheer audacity of a park being a veritable metropolis for all things creepy and crawly (which like I can’t complain cause that’s totally their home and I’d be the invader) Trotting alongside ducks and trying not to get mowed down by someone on a fucking unicycle (girl yes, a unicycle!), we managed to soak up some glorious Vitamin D. then set some sights on what I’m sure was some form of a snail graveyard. It was giving very much "life is fleeting, even for gastropods."
But let’s get real. All I could think about was how adulting is a whole new level of "hard." Having a fucking vagina? Hard. Being a girlfriend? Difficult. Finding balance? Also hard. And don't even get me started on starting a business…. But let’s focus - I’m spiraling.
In a delicate dance with nature – a concept, I confess, that usually sends a shiver down my spine. Childhood, once a seemingly carefree reverie, now feels like a distant dream compared to the glorious chaos of adulthood. This journey of being a woman, a girlfriend, a nascent entrepreneur – it's all so exquisitely, wonderfully hard.
But at the end of the day? The day is gonna end. And it’ll end with me saying, It's giving growth, it's giving progress, and honestly, it's giving I might actually be enjoying this Nashville life. A place where I can honestly say I finally embrace a quiet reflection of how far this Chicago doll has come since first gracing this city with her presence, almost a year ago to the day.
it's the sheer audacity it takes to birth a business into existence. It's a roller coaster, for real, and sometimes you just wanna throw your hands up and say, "Nope, not today Satan!"
And speaking of that delectable difficulty, let's pirouette to the thrilling, terrifying ballet of entrepreneurial endeavors.
For you see, my dollfaces, if there's one symphony that plays perpetually in my mind: it is the audacious composition of bringing a vision to life. It's a capriccio of highs and lows, a harsh balance of ambition and apprehension.
But mark my words, my darlings: 2026 is going to be an epochal year for my brand.
I feel it in the very narrow marrow of my being – a transformative current, not merely for myself, but for the flourishing community I am destined to cultivate. For too long, I've cherished your beautiful inquiries, your heartfelt pleas for guidance in the artistry of makeup, in the bold venture of personal enterprises. And for a sec, I admit, I hesitated. But fret not.
It is time to surrender to divine guidance, to embrace the very essence of the craft I was placed on this earth to share.
My purpose, my exquisite raison d'être, is undeniably clear: to extend a helping hand, to nurture a sisterhood through beauty, foster authentic connections, and above all, to ignite that radiant spark of confidence in every single darling soul, including my own.
From the whisper of a brushstroke to the roaring declaration of a new beginning, I am here to empower you vicariously through myself.
So, my loves, prepare yourselves, for the overture has begun.
The DLHSE is going worldwide, baby!
And trust me, you'll WANT to be front row, or sitting next to me at the top!! <3
