Book Nook: Connecting Happiness & Success by Ray White
Happy Birthday Hope Chest!
It's been forever since I've been to a birthday party. The older I've gotten, the less invites I receive. Not the case this week, Hope Chest Philadelphia has turned 1, and had a little soiree to celebrate! The dainty lingerie boutique nestled close to the corner at 1937 Chesnut Street was the perfect mid week pick me up.
What a wonderful event! Aside from beautiful lingerie , attendees were able to receive courtesy blowouts from Blo/Out Blow Dry bar and massages from Hand and Stone. The crowd was upbeat while beautiful models worked the room in the lastest lingerie fashions. I was especially fond of the turquoise number shown above. On top of wonderful people and stunning pieces, bras were collected to benefit the Free The Girls Project. An organzation providing an opportunity for women rescued from sex trafficking to earn a living selling second-hand clothing while going to school, getting healthy, and caring for their families. Hope Chest is filled with goodies and goodness, my kind of boutique!
Thanks to Hope Chest I'm ready to finish the week, all the while making a 'must have lingerie list.'
Unconventional Trends: 4 Styling Group
I get excited when I meet fly creatives with a hunger for success like my own. As I am very receptive to a person's energy, Shaleeta Pendleton, CEO of 4 Styling Group has a presence you can feel upon her entering a room.
A few months back I mentioned attending a Philly Fashion Expo mixer where I met a handful of amazing creatives. Prior to leaving I was inclined to compliment Shaleeta on her outfit of a white tee, red lip and super cute boyfriend jeans. Small talk led to business chat about her company and mine. Not only is she a super cool spirit, she is passionate about her work. Styling, it's what the girl was born to do. A shoot proved her talent and people have been seeking her services ever since. Once you see their work, you'll be right along with the rest of the following. Learn about the 4 Styling Group girls and fall in love with their styling vision .
HH:Who are the members of 4 Styling Group? What area of the business do you each oversee?
SP:I founded 4 in late Oct/Nov 2012. After interning with an online vintage boutique in Philly, landed me a styling job in LA. People were seeking my styling services since. Interning was cool, but I didn't want to have to rely on others for something I was able to do myself. I took the idea to a friend who encouraged me to pursue it. Alas 4Styling Group was born.
Four symbolizes a 4 year period of struggle that molded me into the stylingprenuer I am today. With the help of my stylists Brittany and Imani we have already built a substantial clientele within our first year.

Financially Fit: Jessica Moss's Approach
During college, you could have called me president of the 'get paid Friday and be broke by Monday' club. Let's be honest, a lot of us go through a period like that. I've noticed people become financially aware when they get tired of being in debt, and broke. I'd rather invest in myself and my business, and learn to make my money work for me.
