    The Kachet Life

    Lifestyle Influencers + Coach for Solopreneurs

    ABOUT

    The Kachet Life-About-At Desk

    Hey you! I’m Kachet...

    and before we go any further, let’s make sure you’re saying my name right!

    It’s pronounced /kaˈSHā/.

    It’s a soft sound, like cash. The t is silent. 🙂

    I’m a Dallas, Texas blogger, content creator, creative community organizer, and marketing consultant with a passion for inspiring others to live their best lives and pursue their dreams, no matter how big or small. I believe in embracing the unexpected and giving convention the middle finger. 

    How it All Began

    ” My goal with The Lipstick Giraffe is to inspire others to look within themselves and find something that they think is special and worth sharing.” –  From my first blog post. 

    That’s how it began, and that’s still the goal with every piece of content. 

    I started blogging as The Lipstick Giraffe in 2012. The blog was my creative outlet and a way to connect with others when I returned to my hometown and nabbed my first job after college.  Back then, I was all about sharing my personal style and my economized life. Living on my own at 24 with the realities of adulthood pushed me to get creative with how I dressed and how I lived! I wanted my readers to believe that they could still live fabulously no matter what that number in the bank account looked like!

    Before I was all in as an entrepreneur, I worked for ad agencies and in-house on brand marketing teams. I thought it was what I was supposed to do since it’s what I did immediately after graduating from college, but a layoff five years ago made me really evaluate the direction I was going. It also made me pause – and really look at my creative side hustle and its potential to grow into something greater! I harnessed the skills learned after years of working on award-winning teams and launched my social media + marketing consulting business, Kachet Media Group.

    The Evolution

    I relaunched my blog as The Kachet Life in October 2017. You can read all about why in this post. The name of the blog might be a little more mature, but I’m still the same lady. I’m starting to feel like the OG blogger on the block…but I’m damn proud of it. 🙂 I love sharing what I know – so much so, that I coach other bloggers and influencers, as well as creative entrepreneurs.

    Kachet Media work keeps me busy, too.  I really strive to become my client’s friend, and understand their needs and wishes while being the firm voice in guiding their brand activity. When they win, WE win.

    When I’m Not Hustlin…

    When I’m not behind the screen or on a plane, I’m networking with other creatives, enjoying a glass of sparkling wine, cooking up a storm, watching the latest episode of Chopped – or any combination of the previously mentioned. 🙂 

    Thank you for checking out my labor of love! Kick back and click around a bit.

    If you ever have any ideas, feel free to drop me a line via my contact form!

    Cheers!

    Happy weekend, friends! Wanna know what sandals I’ll be wearing all spring? These right here 👆🏾. They are so comfortable and I got a couple of compliments at the crosswalk! Every person was pleasantly surprised when I told them they were @crocs in collaboration with @verabradley because of the style, but if you didn’t know, there’s a wide variety of sandals from Crocs and these just scream spring. The floral botanical print is quintessential Vera and I’m obsessed. I know I’m rocking the denim today, but I’ll be steppin around town in them and at the pool, with stripes and solids — and with dresses and swimsuits, too. The spring style possibilities are endless. Tell me what you would wear yours with! #VeraBradleyXCrocs

THIS IS OUR YEAR, and I can’t wait to get started! #LevelUpWithKachet #LevelUpShowUp #ThisIsYourYear
    Happy first full week of April, y’all. 😁 Maki Happy first full week of April, y’all. 😁 Making a point to celebrate + take a pause from the scroll is part of my biz processes this year and I didn’t even realize a week passed. I never used to stop, which means that I was going forth with blinders on + getting caught up in comparison, for better and for worse. I have to be honest, even with the absence on Instagram, the business activity didn’t stop!  In fact, here’s what went down in the past five days: 

▪️The Level Up + Show Up Challenge went down via email + Facebook. See ya, IG!
▪️I booked two Strategy Sessions for April.
▪️I put the finishing touches on the new Level Up With Kachet...DOORS OPENING THIS WEEK. Y’all ready?!
▪️My team + I turned a gifted offer from a brand into a paid one with ONE email. My #CoachKach advice: Stop saying yes (or no) off the bat. Open up the conversation to see what can happen.
▪️I beat my Q1 income goal by 25%, which made me adjust my quarterly goals for the rest of the year.

Sometimes you just need a win to get fired up and re-focused.

Sometimes you need to put that scary number out there to see if you can make it happen. 

Knowing that I did when half of the time I was weary, lost + fighting to show up in all areas, it affirms that I am made to do this. It shows me that there is a bigger plan for me, so long as I show up. 

Perfection is not required. Effort is.

That’s the energy I’m taking into April and the rest of the year. I’m going to reach higher. I’m probably going to squirm, sweat and scream while doing so, but I’m here for all the smoke that comes with it.

What are you going to reach higher for? And how can I help? Let’s 👏🏾Get 👏🏾It!

    You work hard, lady — schedule a breather this w You work hard, lady — schedule a breather this week and treat yo’self! It doesn’t have to be for the whole day. Heck, five minutes will do the trick. 

I hadn’t taken myself out for a coffee date in a while so I made it happen. But for you, it could be:

▪️A coffee without your phone in hand
▪️A walk around the block
▪️A bubble bath
▪️A call with a loved one. 

This isn’t the first time I’ve said this, and it won’t be the last. Count on that! 😁

Curious about my look? Well, my love for polka dots is coming back! I’m rockin more classics from @appleseeds, including the Dennisport Twill Chinos with this shirt. I plan to wear it with shorts + skirts this spring, too. That’s why I love classic pieces so much. You can remix them in whatever way you feel like depending on the mood.

A classic — and taking a moment to celebrate you — will never go out of style. Click the link in my profile to check out all of my Appleseed’s picks this season, + comment below 👇🏾and tell me what you’re going to do for yourself this week!
