Let's Get Into More Of The Juicy Stuff, Fashion? When And How? What Inspired You , What Made You Get Into Fashion ?

I started as a model , back in 2010 when I won Miss Sizzling Beauty hosted by Attlyn Shopping Center in Atteridgeville ,This then sparked my passion for beauty and Dressing up and looking Good ..
I remember after the birth of my child ,I decided to go back to school and finish of my studies and i was broke ,I cried and prayed for moneybfrom God but he asked a simple Question Shalom what do you have in your hands ,I answered and said nothing ...well i later released it wasnt a figurative question not literal ...I did an introspection of my self and found out i have Adored beauty ,I have the gift of combination and style ,I said to myself, i want to start solving problems not only Am i going to make money but I will solve a clothing Problem in my generation,That is the reason why i got into Fashion.

I wanted to help young ladies like my self to dress up and look classy and sexy at a very affordable price ,To create a lifestyle within their means.

Soo i started with he friends i have on my Social media platforms,i modelled my own clothes as they asked i Refed them to me and pledged them to make orders and that is the birth of the Online Boutique in 2017 and it has been growing over the years, But above all the gift and passion my son inspired me to be independent and hard or rather smart working because i wanted to provide for him.

Your Work Ethic Is Commandable, What Is It Like To Run A Online Shop/ Boutique , I Can Only Imagine The Frustration.

To be honest Seun Running an online Boutique for me is exciting ,Firstly I get to be my own boss ,Secondly i get to work at my Pace ,I am a full-time student and A single mom ,Working flexible hours allows me to Spend time with my son and have undivided time to study and focus on my development as a person.

There is pressure but i will seriously refain from using Frustration because as i said passion and love covers a multitude of Sin,its Challenging yes but not Frustrating. I get excited everytime i have an order ,God has provided and again i get to do something i seriously love ❤️
