hey babes! can you believe we are finally at the end of our self-improvement journey?!

what a wonderful experience this has been! running a test-run of the challenge with Nicola, behind the scenes, has been awesome! as you all know, Nicola and I created this challenge together. when we brainstormed the idea, it was with the purpose of self-growth and self-improvement all across the board. I wanted to introduce a new type of challenge to our Nail Art Challenge, and, Nicola was happy to help me think of ideas and even perform a test run before we debuted the idea to the Goddess Gang.

we really wanted to create something that everyone could be encouraged to participate in, and, feel comfortable and empowered throughout the process. we also wanted to do a sort of soft-launch of the Goddess Gang Forum, and encourage interactions here, as, we wanted to find a way to bring our community together to interact and grow, all in once place. all in all, we had so many goals we were looking to accomplish, from self-growth to professional growth. I can only speak for myself when I say, we are surely headed in the right direction!

for me, with the challenge being a weekly challenge, the time was flying by pretty fast. so, we agreed to improvise the challenge rules to allot for 14-days per weekly theme, as opposed to just 7-days. we both feel this will offer much more grace throughout the journey, and, in turn, we will all feel a bit more confident time-wise. we all have busy lives and our schedules and shortcomings are all different from each other. we believe 14-days per weekly theme will be a good amount of time to both push ourselves, and overcome any set-backs we may naturally endure.

there have been many times in which Nicola and I have both been able to come over to the forum and sort of lend ourselves and one another a shoulder throughout some of the best days, and the worst days! coming to the forum is a sort of relief, its a safe-space to express ourselves and the beauty of being able to look back on our reflections has been priceless! remember, we will only be this version of ourselves one time! its cool to look back and see how we have improved over time.

as far as my mediums expose nail set, I am happy and sad to report the news that, my nails did get done, however, they got done late. I decided to do my Zombie Nail Art Challenge nails for this set, and, that way I could knock out 2 challenges at once. but, I was also so busy on the back end that I started to worry I wouldn't finish my design in time to meet the deadline for the challenge. I almost just gave up. but, I didn't. if you read my reflections from last week, where I elaborated on how I am able to push-thru and force myself to succeed, well..... that is what I did! and, I don't regret it one bit!

I pushed past the excuses and thru the bs! and, I created a super cool nail set that I am honestly pretty proud of! I will have to share the link later, as I have yet to post them on my instagram.

I am happy for all of the mental and emotional self-improvement I have seen in myself over the course of this challenge. I am also happy to have had a Goddess Gang member on the back end to help me test-drive this challenge and curate an experience for us all to take part in, that will help us grow and improve not only in our personal endeavors, but our professional pursuits as well!

what we have been able to create with the Goddess Gang Nail Art Challenge, is truly priceless! I cannot express my gratitude enough. xoxo

I am a little pressed for time now, but, til we unite again!
