This past week was one of my most challenging since I took over the reins at Bellacara. I knew I had big shoes to fill and the biggest and most important event to execute - Bellacara's Anniversary Party. It took a lot of time organizing, hiring, ordering, coordinating with vendors, and everything else possible to make it happen. On top of that, I juggled makeup for the news and makeup for two celebrities, Billie Jean King and Lynda Carter. It was exciting and exhausting. Then the forecast for the day of our big event was devastating. After all this time planning, we were getting snow and high winds. I couldn't believe it!

I prayed hard, and He delivered. Bellacara's 22nd Anniversary Party was a success! And it's all because of you, the loyal and loving clients of our favorite beauty boutique, Bellacara. You braved the weather and stood in line for the doors to open that morning. I cried inside with happiness. My team and I appreciate it more than you know. We want to send our heartfelt gratitude for your love and support. 

As we arrived at the store in bad weather, I was bowled over to see people lined up on King Street. I saw you through the door and welled up inside. Your support despite the circumstance was overwhelming. I am so happy and honored to continue our wonderful store's legacy and tradition. We're here for you; the store is for you and the products we choose specifically for you. So happy to see so many familiar faces, including longtime clients from Neiman Marcus. 

Just a humble thank you. The Bellacara team and I are so touched.
