I can see clearly now 🎶

It's International Women's Day and I'm honored to be celebrating it with @visionworks_eyewear.

I have been self employed for nearly five years and in those five years I have been lifted up by fellow female founders and every day I look for ways that I can return the favor and support other women through promotion of their businesses, through mentoring, through employing women and many other ways.

I am so glad we have made so many strides in uplifting women but we still have so much further to go - especially as we assess the pandemic's effects on women in the workforce and women's demands of motherhood.

Here's to being supportive of all the women in our lives ❤️

If you're in need of glasses or sunglasses - head to Visionworks - a one stop shop for all eye care needs & I'll link these Kate Spade glasses on Stories that I just got with a new prescription to help my aging eyes (I am nearsighted and working to wear my glasses more often to help eye strain!)

Wintertime Uptown ☀️🥶

👆🏻This painting could be yours!!

One of the most fun parts of my new apartment was exploring art for the first time in my life.

I’ve moved so much in my adult life that sometimes things don’t even make it up onto the walls before I leave for the next place 😭

This apartment is different because instead of not knowing where to begin and therefore never starting - I worked with @propershoppe. Aka two interior designers and art advocates. As Ann & Leslie helped me to design my space they also sourced artists to do commissions for my space.

Enter @alexsofferart - my Brooklyn neighbor and an incredible abstract artist. Proper Shoppe helped me commission a piece from her and NOPE this isn’t it! 🙃

Mine is still a work in progress but this one - this one you can own!!! It’s currently available on Alex’s site and having lived with it for a few weeks now I can’t say how much I love it. (Also everyone on my zoom calls has been all 👀 “let’s talk about that art behind you”)

Art is an amazing way to A) support small businesses and B) give true personality to your space. As I said to Alex after we hung this “I’ve never had a painting in my place and I can’t believe how much life it lends to my space!” And then I almost cried. Who new I could love art so much?!

If you’re in the market for a painting this one can be yours. I’ll be happy for you- but also jealous TBH!! Message me or Alex for details! Or find it on Alex’s website: https://www.alexsoffer.com/product-page/36x48-acrylic-sand-and-plaster-on-wood

But I also can’t wait to soon reveal what @alexsofferart is painting for me 🤍🤍🤍
