    The Kachet Life

    Lifestyle Tastemaker + Coach for Creatives

    Paris and Nice | A Photo Diary

    September 25, 2015travel

    Saying goodbye to Paris was very hard. In addition to jet lag and a touch of sickness, I’ve been going through a bit of withdrawal from my daily adventures exploring different pockets of the city. In fact, I’m even having dreams of being there. I guess that just means I have to go back sooner than later.

    I ended up taking a camera with me on the trip, but actually used my iPhone waaaay more than I expected, and got some pretty great shots! I took way too many to share, but here are a few of my favorites for you to enjoy.

    Lost count on how many times I ordered duck confit during the trip. I’m good for a while.

    So fortunate that I got to meet up with one of my best friends and her peeps while she was on her Euro vaca too!

    le frog

    Escargot and frog legs are two of my new favorite foods. Le Frog did ’em right.

    Even if the sun isn’t out, how can you not smile when you’re on a beach in Nice?

    The place is simply magical. We were there for two weeks and I can honestly say that I wish I had an extra one. I was just starting to feel a little bit “local” in my mind. I’m so glad that I had the chance to visit and truly experience Parisian life. Going to a new place really opens up your mind and forces you to think in ways that you usually don’t. I know I’m used to my standard of how things should go, and I’m grateful for being pushed out of my comfort zone, especially alongside the best travel partner ever. Some may say Parisians are rude or standoffish, and I’d have to argue that and say that I think it has to do more with confidence (especially with women) and that they don’t have time to waste – they’re on to the next thing! If only more people could take a little piece of that and implement it in their day to day… me included! 🙂

    Je t’aime, Paris. Je reviendrai. xoxo

      I think I know where you will be heading every year. These are some awesome photos and it appears as though Paris agrees with you. How fortunate it is to have a Blog so you can replay this experience for many years to come. Thanks for sharing.

    Y'all... nothing got lit this weekend except for t Y'all... nothing got lit this weekend except for the candles! 😂🕯✨Seriously, what a month February has been. Closing out the month cozy at home as the rain fell outside was perfection today. I even took a nap!

Are you ready for a new month as much as I am?! 🙌🏾 March will bring a lot our way, but one thing it'll bring is a NEW SEASON. Yes, the first day of Spring is March 20th 👀 despite what the weather has in store. With the change of seasons, we have to say goodbye to the Winter candle collection! 😢 And if you had a favorite or have been meaning to grab one, NOW is the time because there's less than FIVE left of each scent! 

A little about each:
Cedar + Pine: Cedar, pine, musk + firewood
Bay Rum = Bay leaves, citrus with notes of musk + tobacco
Citrus + Cinnamon: Grapefruit, lemon + cinnamon

Want to stock up? Use code BUNDLE20 through Friday 3/5 when you purchase more than one! LINK IN MY BIO (+my Shop tab here on IG).

And don’t worry, you’ll be the first to know when the Spring collection launches. Can’t wait to share more soon. Have a good evening, y’all!

    Wednesday, we made it through!👩🏾‍💻🍷T Wednesday, we made it through!👩🏾‍💻🍷The last few weeks (and let’s just say year because we’re coming up on one year since lockdown) have been crazy, filled up with ups and downs for all of us. 

And through it all, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with amazing, creative entrepreneurs that have:

▪️Found their voice + rhythm when it comes to communicating to their ideal client/customer/follower
▪️Pitched + landed PAID deals with their dream brand
▪️Increased their web presence (because I LOVE IG, but there’s other touchpoint and revenue opportunities OFF of the app)
▪️Launched digital and physical products
▪️Contributing to and being featured by publications

And, to me, the most transformative: 

▪️Cultivating the courage to go after what they want relentlessly

That’s why I LOVE being #CoachKach. 
It’s really so content creators, solopreneurs + creative business owners like you can blow through your lofty goals + grab control of your brand +  life.

It’s never been easier than it is right now to do this. All you need is confidence and the right tools + support to get you there. And with one-on-one coaching with me, you’ll get just that.

I’m your digital bestie helping you navigate scaling your business using social, creating content, pitching brands + media and crafting your product/service offer.

▪️Get an opportunity that you’re not sure is taking advantage of your time and talent? Send it to me and we’ll chat it through.

▪️Need to make sure you’re not missing something in your launch plan because you’ve been looking at it too closely? I’m your second set of eyes with examples and other creatives to connect with.

▪️ Start feeling like you can’t do it? I’ll be there telling you YOU CAN — and showing you that you WILL.

If you’re ready to turn up the heat this year, shoot me a DM! I have O N E spot left for the next couple of months at this level of support. If you know you need this, but have questions, let’s talk + see if we can make it a reality for you.

    This is the mood I am embodying all week as I talk This is the mood I am embodying all week as I talk back to the mean girl in my own head! That bitch always shows up right when I “get ready” to do something. What about you? Let’s face em together. 

There is no right time.
There is no cheat code. 
You just have to humble yourself, frickin show up and  DO IT.
It can be as fun or regimented as you decide so long as you are moving in a forward direction, a direction that takes you closer to that goal.

Are you waiting for the right time? And no, I’m not asking for a friend. I’m asking for myself. There will be no more ideas living in a notebook until it “feels good.” If it feels good, it ain’t growth or taking US higher!

Celebrate the win in advance if you have to. Whatever gets you going (yes, I believe in dessert first).

This week, L E T ‘ S 👏🏾 G E T 👏🏾 I T !  #levelupshowup
    WHAT HAS SNOWMAGEDDON TAUGHT ME? That there is po WHAT HAS SNOWMAGEDDON TAUGHT ME?

That there is power in community and Dallas reminds me a lot of Sacramento right now. Shoutout to @dallasites101 for going ALL OUT with their resources. 

That love will always save the day and maybe not in the way you think but just in the way you need. 

That having no power in or out of unit for days and not being able to leave because the roads are so bad is no fucking joke. Talk about a reality check and gratitude break on so many fronts. 

That I really need to get my emergency kit to include “Snowy Conditions” and get a damn shovel + boots. Maybe a truck instead of the Mini? 🚙

Who knew it got like this in Dallas?! 🤯🤯🤯 I didn’t. AT ALL. We’re beyond blessed to have a warm and safe place right now with food, hot water and more.

Prayers up 🙏🏾for everyone that is going through it during this time and for those that still don’t have power, that can’t get to loved ones and those that are having a hard time dealing with this on top of the fact that we’re in a global pandemic. I always say the new year truly starts in February, but it looks like it might be March this time. 

I heard it’s going to be 72 and ☀️next week… y’all, I can’t make this stuff up! 

Are you affected by the weather?! Where are you located?
