The holidays are upon us y'all! Now I realize Thanksgiving isn’t the best historical holiday the US has (I mean? Which one isn’t problematic? 🤷♀️) and visiting family can be an ordeal all on its own. Don’t get me started on retail workers on Thanksgiving (I salute you.) As someone who wasn’t near family growing up I never really viewed Thanksgiving as this major deal. Most of the time it was just my mother and I, we’d get dressed up, and eat at a fancy buffet. We'd see a movie afterwards and just relax the day away. Thanksgiving isn’t that for everyone; it can be one of the most stressful days of the year! Ahh! So sometimes it can be easier to get wrapped up in that stress instead of reflecting on the things we are thankful for! So! That’s what I’m going to use this week's blog for! Hope y’all don’t mind too much!
This year has been an interesting year in my personal creative endeavors. I’ve had a lot more opportunities, worked with new mediums, and have just overall felt a lot more creatively inspired! I’m so thankful for the spark of creativity that has kept coming back. I’ve also gotten to a great place with my mental health, and really learned a lot about myself this year. It’s a continuous journey, but knowing what really works best for you is such an eye opener. That goes hand in hand with the relationships in your life. I am so thankful for my wonderful husband. He is so supportive of all I do and I can’t imagine having anyone else in my corner. All my amazing friends! I moved far away from most of my friends a few years ago and it’s been so nice to still stay so connected. Massive shout out to my girl Rachel! She proofreads my blogs for me so y’all don’t get too confused with my terrible mistakes. Couldn’t be doing this without you girl!
Thankful for getting this little guy this year!!
A large thing I’m thankful for this year is this opportunity. Working for Bête Noire has been one of the highlights of my year. It’s creatively fulfilling, incredibly inspirational, and has helped my self-confidence blossom, and show me what I’m capable of. Alicia really has created a size inclusive, non-gender specific, alternative couture company that is just killing it! There are so many collaborations with different stylists/creatives and with so much still on the horizon! I can’t wait to see what comes next for Bête Noire!
The state of the world is stressful, and our personal lives on top of that can sometimes test the limits even further. Take the time to remind yourself of what you are thankful for! Who you’re thankful for! And hopefully you enjoyed some good food! Bête Noire is so thankful for the support, love, and business everyone has given us over this past year! Our Black Friday sale includes 15% off everything and free shipping over sales of $150. We also have an exclusive Black Friday launch of the latest pieces from our Glam Goth collaboration! A limited edition black heart variant of the popular sacred heart necklace! Thank you again everyone 🖤
