Passion and Blessings
Whenever it’s time to write a blog my mind blanks out…. Its always been that way, even in high school when it was time to write those wonderful essays. Im clearly not a writer, and after being talked into starting a blog for work purposes, im still unsure that blogs are for non-writers…
Anyway…
I did want to recap the week, and just write SOMETHING.
When I meet people for the first time, they always ask how long i’ve had my company, and they’re always shocked to hear that someone my age has been independent since my sophmore year of college. Im 24 now, but have been dreaming about what I wanted to be since I was about 11 years young. I think I started pretty late, taking into account that ive wanted to be a fashion designer for a majority of my life.
Clearly, 11 years old is a bit young to run your own business, I mean, I didnt start my artistries til I was 14, and even then my time was conusmed sketching portraits and painting dogs. I had no idea how to sew, and neither did anyone else in my household, so I really didnt know how I was going to live up to my dreams.
Needless to say, life has unfolded how i’d dreamed as a young lady, and now im BLESSED to say that im still supporting myself and my territory and company is growing! Im also reading a great book right now thats helping me enlarge and let go of things that I really need to: The Girls Guide to Building a Million-Dollar Business, by Susan Wilson Solovic.
I definately recommend this book to any female business owner, its a great, fast read and there are plenty of other female bosses out there doing their thing just like us.
Here I go, going blank again…
The photos above are all bathing suits from my new swim collection that can be seen at http://www.arielsimone.etsy.com/
Im updating and editing my online spaces continually, so make sure to check back often. And for all the ladies out there who are not a size 2, and the more modest women, dont think your not included. I do plus sized garments, and more than just brazillian bikinis too!
Until the next update, be blessed, have a great week, and check back often!

After some talks we decided that i'll be sending Elena three Spring/Summer items, and in return for a mini shoot shes doing with one of her on call models, shell pick her favorite, and send two back to me!
