#BernsFashionChallenge - June 2016

-
Are you on Instagram?
Do you love fashion?
Want to give back to the community?




I would like to invite ladies to join #BernsFashionChallenge for the entire month of June. This started because I wanted to help one of my young bartenders find a path and she mentioned fashion as an interest. What better way than to be exposed to it, talk about it and just be fashionable? I have taken my staff shopping, personally shop for a friend of mine and am 'physically memorable' (4 Ways to Make Yourself Memorable and Leave Great Impressions, Entrepreneur.com.) I do so thru fashion. This young bartender of mine and fellow Gator will be going to de Young's Museum later this month to see the Oscar De La Renta exhibit and hope to attend some other fashion events.

I am also pleased to mention that Rania, owner of a successful Instagram blog, Craft & Clothes (@craftandclothes) will be participating in the challenge. She has inspired me. Please follow her! I love this post in particular and the 21st Amendment Watermelon beer is delicious!



What to do:
All you have to do is post a photo once a day on Instagram of your OOTD (Outfit of the Day) with the hashtag (#BernsFashionChallenge). Be sure to tag/mention who and what you're wearing. 

I am working with professionals in the fashion industry to provide special offers to participants. Listings of the offers will be here on this post but how to redeem it will be sent via email to participants only. If you are a fashion industry professional and would like to offer the participants a discount, please email me your offerings. Offerings must be available the entire month of June. Mentions, links, likes and tags will be generated.

Current Offers:
10% off orders of Stella & Dot

How to Give Back:
For every new follower I get on Instagram at the end of the month of June, I will donate a dollar to The Princess Project that promotes self-confidence and individual beauty thru providing local teens to get a prom dress and accessories that otherwise could not afford them. You may also do this yourself or choose another non-profit of your choice.

It's Gonna Be May

I'm sure you've seen it. If you have a friend named May, the *Nsync memes are overtaking your Facebook and Instagram feed, right? Tomorrow ends the month of April and I was 10 posts behind the daily blog post challenge. For this Monday Motivation post, I will keep going until I reach that 30 count. Better late than never! May is turning out to be a busy month. Not surprising for this One Busy Bee. I finally have a set schedule for my part time job as a Concierge at the Argonaut Hotel at Fisherman's Wharf. I really do like the job, what I'm doing, the hotel and staff, and how the time spent here contributes to my experience in the travel and tourism industry, all the while continuing in the hospitality industry as well. Working only about 30 hours a week, it will finally allow me to schedule workouts, get in some sort of sleeping pattern and work on my business as a Travel Agent . There is so much to do! So far since I received the month's work schedule...

The Bad Girls Club & Love Games, Sarah Michaels, IS the Wellness Shot!

I became a fan of the Bad Girls Club when a Season 3 marathon was airing (in 2008, is it?) and I just had the television on while I was doing chores around the house. Every now and then I’d hear “*BEEP* you, you *BEEP*ing *BEEP*!”, some screaming and “This is the Amber Show” do-do-do-do-do-Doo! Eventually I was glued to the screen and not doing chores anymore and spent most of the day laughing and thinking “ohnoshedidn’t!” They were NUTS! I don’t think I could live my life with a camera following me around and for the whole world to see and criticize. But I kept on watching and when fights broke out, my boyfriend would hear the screaming from another room and ask “WHAT are you watching?!?” I am not one for reality television. MTV had it with The Real World with Pedro, Puck, Pam and whoever… when it was in San Francisco. (GO GIANTS!) With all these Big Brother, The Bachelorette and other shows popping up, there were just too many to pick and choose from to watch. And I was never a ...
