In fact, most mornings I roll out of bed and ensure my three boys get themselves ready and I either take them to school (if it's an in-school day) or ensure they are ready to sit for their lessons downstairs.
I then get myself marginally prepared for the day and that generally looks like me brushing my teeth, changing my top from my PJs but leaving the bottoms as they are and heading next door to my home office. It's generally not the look that you'd ascribe to a beauty CEO but here we are in the COVID #WFH era!
However, yesterday was an incredibly busy day for me and I not only needed to have my zoom video ON but I need to look the part. You know what I mean? Getting dressed up with a powerful makeup look, some pearls (my go-to jewelry), a power dress, and a french-styled turban gets me looking, feeling, and doing great.
I had 5 back-to-back meetings and I am happy to share that I not only looked the part but I certainly lived it too!
I was sent a notification on Clubhouse today that one of the gentlemen who “cancelled” me had joined and I smiled and wondered if he was still in the business of weaponizing his privilege to destroy prospects for women. One day I will ask him.
I'm so excited to share that today Bossy Cosmetics was featured on The View on ABC in the View Your Deal segment! You can catch my novice attempt to film the segment below. My heart is literally bursting with joy and pride at seeing my "babies" on screen and I must say that they look stunning!!
What's most exciting about this news is not everything else that I said above but her journey and the product that she created. She was one of the early employees of dating app, Tinder, but left that company with a fair bit of drama and legal issues that resulted in s settlement. But Whitney didn't let disappointment stop her from pursuing her dreams. She went on to start Bumble, another dating app, whose core philosophy is empowering women to take the first move! It's a simple different but it made ALL the difference and she created a juggernaut that will go beyond dating into a host of categories that we are yet to watch unfold.
