» RewardStyle master class swag | loving my new Kendra Scott necklace! «
I am all about personal growth & development, and although I may look super outgoing on the pages of the blog (do I?), I am really actually very shy/awkward/reclusive.
I am not great in social situations, I am most comfortable within the walls of my own home, public speaking is my biggest fear, & in my profession… all of that just isn’t gonna cut it.
I get invites in my email to visit showrooms & attend different events, but due to my social anxiety, more often than not, I pass. Then, I’m sitting at home drinking wine/watching Lifetime movies (snooze fest) & stalking Instagram to see what I missed out on. Honestly, it sucks.
So, I’ve decided to just say yes… to almost anything.

Last week was my first experience in the whole “yes man project”. I first said yes to an event in LA, which was a big step in the right direction. LA is just 2 hours away, but making the drive always scares me (did I mention driving scares me too? ouch, I’ve got issues), so my sweet beau offered to come & drive the entire way. We made a day out of it, hit up some shops, ate at the famous Gracias Madre (OMG, boozy snow cones are life), & ended the night at the KODE magazine party where I met some great people in the biz, including the fabulous & sweet as can be, Kristina Bazan.
The next day I said yes yes yes to the RewardStyle Masterclass in San Diego where I met some fabulous SD bloggers, tasted some yummy bites/wine at Juniper & Ivy, learned more about the biz, & was filled in on a whole lot of game changing Snapchat hacks (thanks SD blogger babes!).
All in all, the experiment is going really well! I am having fun, working on my social skills, & getting to meet a whole slew of new peeps. I definitely will continue on with the “yes man project” & already have a few really fun things lined up in the future! YOLO.
