N O V E M B E R ~ 2019
November 2019 was for sure one that only happens as a result of saying YES a bunch of times. I’m sharing all the things - Personal and Professional on this month’s blog! So if you’re a personal friend or a client of Rose Golde Beauty there is something in it for you!
Hi. It’s been a minute hasn’t it.
Thank goodness for IG live videos, otherwise I would REALY feel like I haven’t seen you in forever!
November 2019 will most likely go down as the BEST month EVER because so many amazing & life altering moments happened! (It will also go down as a whirlwind because your girl was RUNNIN’! #praisebetocoffee) But then again, we are literally smack dab in the middle of Sagittarius Season, so what else did we think would happen?!
I remember middle of the summer when I was saying YES to all these plans, and writing them on the Calendar for November. My Man and I stood back and looked, in writing, all the things we had committed to doing - all FUN GOOD THINGS. But WHOA. We said, “okay November is FULL!”
There was a moment where I started to feel so much self induced guilt when I realized that even with batching & planning - I wasn’t going to be able to put up a weekly Blog post in November. Which has been important to me, to keep doing consistently. But, it was like - something has got to give, and with some self grace I pushed the pause button, so I could push the play button in another area!
{So, my goal is that you read this as one long run on sentence, because I really want you experience how November felt!} Ready? Breathe in, and - GO.
We went to Hawaii for over 10 days, which included lots of hiking and a Mountain Top Waterfall Engagement!!! (totally amazing!) Then we took a red eye home and celebrated My Man’s birthday and then hopped IMMEDIATELY back into work. Insert five 10-12 hour days in the Studio before packing up, flying out to Laguna Beach for a week for my final Quarterly Mastermind Event - then stay for BMSCON4 as a Platform Artist, race home and sleep for 15 hours solid so we could load the car up and RoadTrip Adventure my Birthday up to Oregon for Thanksgiving with my family!
WHOA right? It was such an AMAZING month and I wouldn’t change a single thing about it. I feel so much gratitude for all the opportunities that I was able to say “YES” to.
I feel like as I sit down and write this, snuggled up with my pups and a warm cup of coffee and Harry Potter in the background, I’m finally slowing down and processing November. (Just in time to wrap up a decade and Goal Set + Vision Plan for going into a new one in 2020)
November taught me just how BIG my capacity is. I know I’m not alone in forgetting just how much I can do - until I actually am put to the test and have to DO IT. How many times in our lives do we actually impress our selves!? Probably a LOT if we take a minute to think of the amount you can accomplish when it’s time to #getshitdone
I haven’t tackled my 2020 goals yet - I always take the week between Christmas and New Years to step away from working IN my business, and work ON my business and decide how to make it the best it can be for my guests.
Let’s start brain storming on things that we can accomplish, and impress our own damn selves going into the next year.
My books are open for 2020 to Extension Guests! To schedule a phone consultation and reserve an appointment for January. Click HERE and take the Hair Questionnaire
Why so much Education?
Why so much Education? How hard can it be? Haven’t you learned everything already? You’re traveling down there again? - I get these questions A LOT and wanted to shed some light on the answers and share them with you!
We’ve talked before about my nerd level excitement and dedication to continued education over on this previous blog post so you already know a little bit about it, but I wanted to dive deeper since I’m about ready to head out again for another trip to Southern California.
On Wednesday I leave for an NBR Mastermind Event. It’s a 2 day event where we learn continued education in the NBR Method and also talk about the 3rd Quarter of business with other entrepreneurs - basically a hair nerd convention geeking out over NBR transformations and personal growth. lol but for reals.
These events are held every quarter, in addition to 2 NBR Hands on Intensive classes. -small group geeking out over learning MORE stuff. :P
All these classes are not mandatory for those us in Mastermind to go to, but they are provided and are tailored each time to match where we are in our education and are offered for everyone in the continuing education program.
This will be my 5th time this year that I fly out for Education. I’ve gone to both of my Hands on Intensive classes, and this will be my 3rd time going out for a Quarterly Event.
At one point in my mind - the thought of that seemed outrageous - in SO many ways.
Now, I am so beyond committed to offering the best Hand Tied Hair Extension service I possibly can, because I know the impact it is having on the way women feel about themselves!
I want to master that color blend, for the stitching to be clean and neat, for the beadwork to be comfortable and for you to feel SO good that even you are excited for the camera to come out for after photos.
So I go spend time and money to put my self in a room where I can learn from the creator of the method her lead trainer and their education team.
I’m always impressed with the education that they offer - each time it gets tailored more and more to what we need as students. I’m beyond stoked that this event there are break out sessions and we get to go work with small groups and trainers on the areas we personally asked to learn more about.
I MEAN COME ON! How rad is that? It’s not a “sit here and learn this” type event. It’s hands on training with small groups on the exact topics we are needing extra work in.
I am dedicated to offering my clients the best service I can possibly provide. It’s in part because I want to offer my best work at all times as my own personal standard and love for the art, but right there with that I want you to know that when you invest in your self with hair extensions - you know that I am investing in my education and craft so you can have the BEST experience possible.
I am a forever student and always willing to put my self in situations to continue my education in this industry so that you are always having an amazing experience!

I think it’s really important as your Extension Specialist - to show up for you!

We could start talking about value there - but I think you already know that part by now. We’ve gone over it.
We’re actually going to get outside of the In Salon Appointment and talk about when you’re at home and taking care of your extensions for the first time!
Incorporating ANYTHING into your lifestyle and routine can seem a little intimidating - so I wanted to eliminate that fear with education!
That’s I decided to provided added value and create these At Home Care Videos, and it’s why you went home with all those products and tools!!

How To: Blow Dry NBR Hair Extensions
4th Video on HOW TO: NBR AT HOME CARE. Talking about Blow Drying your Natural Beaded Rows Hair Extensions!
I’m pretty excited because the 4th, How To Video is up and ready for you!
I think it’s really important as your Stylist to set you up for success, not just at your appointment but most importantly when you’re at home on your own. After all - we spend more time apart then we do together.
Having extensions can often be a brand new experience for people, or some are OG extension wearers - but are new to the NBR method. So knowing how to incorporate them into your routine might be a little, well - NEW!
So, I thought I'd create 5 videos to explain - How To: Take Care of your NBR at Home, in order to set each of my guests up for an amazing NBR experience.
I want my clients to feel confident in knowing how to properly take care of their new hair!
I always send each new guest home with a printed list of instructions for at home care - “NBR 101”
But let’s be honest for a moment, a printed piece of paper often gets lost in the first 5 minutes OR get’s set aside with very good intentions of being “read later”…..amiright?!!
So, here is the 4th How To Video - Blow Drying NBR Extensions.
Blow Drying hair isn't rocket science, but you're definitely going to need to know how to dry the base of your Rows to keep everything tangle free and smooth.
PRO TIP: NEVER go to bed with WET EXTENSIONS - make sure they're dry and in a loose braid or ponytail before bed.
Dry your extensions before going to bed.
Brush your hair before bed and braid it, or wear it in a ponytail.
Don’t go to bed with your hair wet, OR loose and down, or you will get matting. (lol - yes i’m trying to scare you into proper at home care!! - hope it’s working)
I hope you are enjoying your NBR Extensions and loving incorporating these simple new habits into your haircare routine.
I also share a lot of LIVE real time techniques and tricks on my Instagram and Facebook so make sure you’re staying current with me there!

Find your Tribe
How often to do you get with your Tribe and talk about and work on - the uncomfortable things for the sake of growth? Check out this list and let me know which one made you think, “ohhhh - that one is me!”
If you would have asked me in 2018 if I would be traveling to Laguna Beach SEVEN times for education in 2019, I would have probably laughed and then followed with something sarcastic. #typical.
Mostly because I would think about traveling arrangements + expenses, time off of work, an already a busy schedule, and - truthfully just the fear of the unknown with THAT big of a commitment.
Last week I had my FOURTH trip down to California (oh - spoiler, I did earn a spot in NBR’s Mastermind Program, BMS - in case you were still hanging on to what happened there) and each and every time I go down I get to reunite with some of the BEST women from all walks of life, from all parts of the nation!
Women who are going outside of their COMFORT ZONES to talk about what it takes to be a Female Entrepreneur.
These words come up EVERY.TIME
Vulnerability
Authenticity
Fear of: Opinions, Judgements, Failures, Successes - you name it.
Doubt
Mom Guilt
Overwhelm
Work/Life Balance
the list goes on my friend…
You know what I’m reminded of every damn time…We ALL feel these things. We think (thanks social media) that everyone else is #crushingit at adulting, and life, and business, and doing ALL the things we wish we could. But when we really start to talk about it with each other there is a TON of “OMG me too” .
If there is something up there on that list that you are like, ohhhh - that’s me… you are not alone in it. Everyone is feeling it too, but not everyone is openly talking about it. BECAUSE OF FEAR and VULNERABILITY. That shit is a vicious cycle.
I am PROUD to be in a group of women who are actively working on self growth. Who make commitments to themselves, in front of others, to rise up to their full potential as a woman, a mother, a partner, a daughter, a sister, an entrepreneur, and stylist for their clients ~ DESPITE if it’s an uncomfortable road to get there.
I’m also HELLA FREAKING INSPIRED when we’re all back together in the same room like we were last week and pull out the goals we made the last time we were together. That’s some accountability right there. “You said you were going to grow in these areas - Did you?”
.gulp.
The part that motivates me the most, is that this group of women DID grow. They worked reeaaallllly hard and accomplished the things they said they would. They’re ready to make new goals and move past new roadblocks!
I’m feeling EXTRA grateful for the connections I’ve made and the fire I feel every time I’m around #BMSMastermind Everyone needs a Tribe.

Oh yeah ~ if you’re wondering where all the HAIR talk was today and you’re just here for some NBR Extensions, I didn’t forget about you. Here ya go: NBR Hair History Form
First Time with FabFitFun
Opening my first ever Fab Fit Fun Subscription Box! Even though I wasn’t able to custom select my items - my box did NOT disappoint so I wanted to share with you the items I got just in time for Summer!
I think I might be over monthly subscription boxes, BECAUSE I’ve upgraded to Quarterly Subscriptions. I’ve been getting NewBeauty TestTube box AND now, I’m on the FabFitFun train and I’m not upset about it.
I’ve seen FabFitFun around and it always caught my eye, but it wasn’t until I had several clients tell me that they were subscribed and basically told me I needed it in my life. One of my clients saw my Instagram Live about Subscription boxes and she sent me a DM saying she had a FFF Starter Box she could send me a coupon for. It was $5 dollars! seriously. So I said yes and got my Starter Box! Here’s that unboxing if you’re curious about getting your feet wet first!
I feel like I’m able to get higher quality items, less often - so I have time to fully use a product and decide how I like it. I also like that I am introduced to new brands that are at a higher value.
Every girl needs a little luxury in her life~
