Below is a picture without any hair line filling. The in between brown color shown here will work. This is a picture with Read more [...]

So maybe some of you know, maybe some don’t but I recently became a business owner! It sounds so weird even saying it, well typing it here. Starting a business is something I never imagined myself doing and honestly just because it was something I’d never done before. I was afraid to do something wrong the whole time and still am!

Every year before each major gift holiday, whether that’s a birthday or Christmas we go through Read more [...]
