Hey Everyone! Welcome back to my newsletter

How are we already halfway through May? This month has flown by so fast I haven't even adjusted to being in my final year of my mid 30s!

In addition to that...we had a Super New Moon 🌑 in Taurus over the weekend which signified a HUGE fresh start. This will be a major period for clearing out what no longer serves you and setting boundaries that protect your peace and time.

Uranus recently left Taurus after an 8 year run to enter Gemini where it will stay until 2033. This marks an easing up of unexpected, jarring disruptions, allowing you to settle into a new routine. For reference, Uranus is the planet of MAJOR change, Revolution, Innovation and Surprise.

Let me just tell you...buckle TF UP! SO much has changed in my life since May 2018 and I am soooo ready for a refresh/new start.

Weekly Beauty Faves 💋💄

This new series will showcase the beauty products I'm absolutely loving/have on my wishlist at the moment.

This week features some tried and true staples that will leave you feeling so refreshed.

Corporate Chic ✨💼

I noticed alotttt of key searches on both Tiktok and Pinterest were around looking for chic office wear. Having over a decade of Corporate experience under my belt (including going in office at HQ), I definitely know a thing or two about dressing appropriately for work. I pulled together some fresh pieces from some of my fave stores (Express, Loft, H&M, etc.) for some inspo for your closet.

High Energy Routine ✨💫

One of my personal goals (now that I am a year wiser 😏) during the week is to incorporate high energy routines that will boost my mood. It's SO easy to get lost in the monotony of the week...so to break that up I made the below list for myself to pull from when I need a quick pick me up.

Finance Chic Series ✨💵

I'm super excited for this next series! Being fashion obsessed with a BBA in Finance is a pretty unique combo...so I figured I would do some break downs of key finance topics (everything from money mindset to investing to spending smarter) to help the girlies out (while also giving stylish examples so it is crystal clear).

Introducing..."Finance Chic". My new weekly series where I will go through main finance topics and break them down into subset topics so we can really dive into everything. Over the next several weeks we'll focus on "Money Mindset" and the psychology that goes into it 🤓.

TOPIC #1 - MONEY MINDSET: "SCARCITY VS ABUNDANCE MINDSET" 📈📉

A scarcity mindset is unfortunately a common theme in people's lives these days...constantly feeling like there is never enough money, success, opportunities, etc. to go around. It's essentially like looking into your closet full of clothes/shoes and stating "I have nothing to wear". People with this mindset typically make decisions based on FEAR...fear of missing out, fear of being behind in life, fear that all of their money will disappear if they spend it, etc. From a psychological level, a scarcity mindset is essentially rooted in fear, survival and most of all...insecurity.

Now on the flip side. An abundance mindset comes from a sense of security, trust and possibility. The focus is more so on long term goals/wins and not needing instant validation. The person in this mindset will ask "What can I build from this?" instead of "What if I lose?". Being grateful/thankful for the resources and support you already have in the present moment in life is CRUCIAL...especially when it comes to money mindset. Your brain becomes more solution-oriented and calm when you embrace your current abundance and will in turn allow for more favorable intentions with money.

Below are some money mindset affirmations I repeat to myself daily that have helped me stay in an abundant mindset throughout the years:

• I attract money with confidence, peace and intention
• There is always more money, opportunities and growth available to me
• I do not have to struggle to become financially successful
• Every dollar I spend comes back to me 10x in good faith
• I release fear around money and replace it with confidence and clarity
• I deserve financial stability and luxurious experiences without guilt

So all in all, keeping an abundance mindset is crucial in ensuring you can not only build wealth...but also keep it. Think of it as having that "main character" bag or coat or pair of shoes you love and continue to keep up/wear...despite all of the new trends that come and go each season. Continuing with this mindset in life will keep you feeling empowered, reduce overall stress and build resilience needed to build wealth/be successful.

Shoutout of the Week 📣
