Being in LA and experiencing this conference was one of the most amazing days I’ve ever had. Just being surrounded by amazing women who are pursuing their goals without any hesitation was so incredibly inspiring. The installations, the sets, the designs, the colors, the fashion, the brands, the speakers, it felt like a dream.

Meeting some of the women who I’ve looked up to in the industry for so long were for sure the highlights of the trip. And let’s just say I have zero chill when meeting someone I look up to, as hard as I try haha!

Kelly Mindell from @studiodiy you were the one who inspired me to start a DIY blog of my own, your authenticity and realness is what I look up to the most, thanks for being a mentor and giving such great insight and advice.

@sonagasparian girl you taught me everything I know about makeup and expressing yourself through creativity! My fellow short girl.

Alexis, from @theshiftcreative the fact that you remembered my name after meeting you a year ago, you have no idea how much that meant. Your creativity and ability to think outside the box is incredible.

@jaclynrjohnson you’re a badass and you put on an amazing conference that brings women together to build each other up and make memories to last a lifetime.
