Something for me..

I’m proud of myself.

I’m finally doing something for ME.

It all started with blogging, 15+ years ago. I started my first blog in high school, way before I was selling product – before it was even a thought. Blogging was my first passion outside of dancing. I loved sharing my thoughts, beauty tips, favorites, and just romanticizing my life.

Somehow, I transitioned more into selling as the years went by, and drifted away from blogging. My shop (that may eventually come back when the time is right), required so much of me. Deep down, I always knew I wanted to get back to blogging - and that’s when I created msgsfromyou*

If I’ve learned anything during my journey, it’s that it’s never too late to start again. I am CONSTANTLY reinventing myself, and I’ve learned to embrace that! What can I say, I’m constantly evolving. What good is staying the same?

As grateful as I am for my shop, I started to fall out of love with it over the years. Time taught me that this happened because I was doing it for everyone else. It was no longer for Destinie. I was simply serving my clientele what they demanded, and my passion began to fade. Don’t get me wrong, I adore my clients, but it was almost like I forgot how to adore myself in the mist of creating things for others.

Not only was KD demanding, but my daily demands as a mother were weighing in too. Everything in my life was about others - whether it was my business or my family. It had to stop.

Taking a step back was the best thing I could have done. Self reflecting made me realize how important it is for me to do things for MY pleasure, MY purpose. It’s much easier said than done, but it’s a lesson I can never forget. Even though it’s a lesson I’m still navigating daily, I know that I MATTER.

So here I am, following my heart and relaunching msgsfromyou. I couldn’t be more excited to do something that feels natural, free. I promise to show up here unapologetically myself, every single time.

Welcome to my life! 🥂

From me to you <3
