Behind the Scenes: Blogger Lifestyle Evolution

It's exciting when one learns that it's time to transition into a new phase in life. When we feel as if it's time to grow to new levels, reach new heights and show the world what's inside of you. 

It's so easy to doubt yourself, to be scared to make major moves without knowing the outcome. But, have you realized that success is waiting on the opposite side of fear? 

If you aren't aware, I am in transition with Thee Lipstick Canvas. I have been working so hard BTS over the last few weeks. TLC will be "formerly known" in the upcoming months. 

There will be a new name, new site and so much more that I'm excited to share really soon. It's time to expand and become more of a business and brand. 

I promise that you all will really love what I have in store. It will still be a Lifestyle and Beauty site where I will be giving you lots of valuable content and resources. 

I'm really confident about the new venture. So stick around and I'll be giving you full access to everything really soon! 

Thanks so much for taking the time to ride with me on this passionate journey!  

Big Business 1587: Business Woman Files

Today I would like to officially, unofficially introduce myself into the Big Business 1587. You might say that it's sort of cliche' or arrogant to salute myself into the Business Woman Files. But, if I don't believe in me, then who will?



I thought over and over as to who should be next, and something kept saying YOU, ERICA! So let's jump right in. I am a 28 year old Medical Instructor, Mommy, Blogger, and so much more. I am just an average woman like anyone else. No, I'm not the most successful or very well known nationally but I push myself everyday to become a better me.



I work hard and don't settle for mediocrity because that's no fun right? I'm pushing it to the limits because that's what life is about. It's pushing yourself each and everyday for your true purpose even when you are frustrated, even when you are doubting yourself, and even when you just don't feel like you can.

I've lost myself, I've found myself and I'm still soul searching for who I am really destined to be each day.... Believe me you, I don't look like what I've been through or Who I've been before.

I'm a woman who loves her little family, loves to laugh, I'm funny and I can be a total BRAT at times. I love Makeup, Fashion, Inspiring and just everything about being a Woman. It's who I am!



I am not defined by what I have or do not have. I can't be defined by other's opinions. I am merely on a journey of Purpose and Power and I won't stop until I am fulfilled.

Through this blog |THEE LIPSTICK CANVAS| I want to inspire many women, provide tips whether it's lifestyle, beauty, fashion and so forth. It's a place to come and create our own dreams and chat over the latest. So I hope that although you are seeing the beginning stages of my passion that you will ride with me the entire way.

Love & Lipstick ~ Erica

BIG BUSINESS 1587: Business Woman Files

I've decided to do weekly files on the Business Woman. I'd like to call it BIG BUSINESS 1587. Why you may ask? It is because a business woman isn't some small subject to speak on. It's a woman who is passionate about what she does, a woman who puts her all into her business whether it's her own brand or a career that she is pursuing. A woman who balances life and business on a daily basis. The Big Business Woman is a person that we all can look up to and follow in their footsteps. She is someone who does not mind helping others by lending out her own tips, having seminars and just paving the way. Today I SALUTE BIG BUSINESS WOMAN @Glambar ....

I have been following @glambar for a while now and she has been one of the most intriguing and inspiring individuals and she is a POWER MOM in my eyes. As a mother of a young boy I love to see how much she spends time with her family and her son and captures the beauty in all of their moments together.

Glambar, Sabrina also shows how she took her downfalls and found the blessing in everything. She is the founder of Glam University and she aims to empower and uplift young and older women. If you are not already following her, I suggest you do so. Also, if you are in the Atlanta area be sure to attend one of her seminars or the GirlPower Sleepover. She is a motivator!!
