    Playing Santa With The UPS Store: How They’re Making Our Lives Easier This Holiday

    The season of giving is upon us! I don’t know about you, but I can’t believe it’s here. This year has been unlike any we’ve ever experienced, and that’s even more reason to believe in the magic of the holiday season. That means keeping or creating traditions, enjoying delicious foods, and bringing joy to others, among other things. Because my fiance and I moved to Dallas at the beginning of 2020, we’ve decided not to travel to the West and East Coasts to celebrate the holidays this year. But, that’s not going to stop the holiday cheer! We’re going to send personally wrapped gifts to our loved ones, and we’re trusting The UPS Store to get them there.

    The UPS Store is here to make all of our lives easier, whether we’re playing Santa or CEO. I’ll be wearing both hats but the most prominent one will be Santa, and I’m so happy that The UPS Store is just a few blocks away from our home because they’re a convenient, helpful, and reliable solution for me this holiday. 

    Your Holiday Plan with The UPS Store

    With nearly 5,000 locations, The UPS Store offers convenient solutions for busy customers alike and business owners alike, all in one place. This holiday, they are pulling out all of the stops to make sure our holiday gifting goes smoothly, no matter the size of the items. Their certified packing experts put just as much care into packing our gifts as we do, so just bring in your gifts and let them take over! When they pack and ship items using materials from The UPS Store, the cost of packing and shipping is all-inclusive. If there’s a snafu, they will cover the value of the items if lost or stolen. It’s peace of mind during a time where we need the assurance that it’s handled! I brought in a few gifts to send to California since I did some early holiday shopping.

    The UPS Store Experience

    It was super easy when I went into my neighborhood location. Once you’re at the counter, you’ll place your items on the scale to weigh and a store associate will measure them and ask standard shipping questions to find the appropriate packing material for your gifts. From there, they’ll ask for the recipient’s address and talk through your various shipping options + rates. I know they can handle the job. Just think of how many UPS trucks we see on our streets around the holidays. 

    But that’s not all! There are many other services at The UPS Store including printing (i.e. holiday cards), shredding, P.O. Boxes, and more. I didn’t just bring my boxes for shipping, I also brought my shred pile of papers that’s been sitting in my office. If you’re doing some purging and organizing before the year ends, know that you can check two boxes off at once when you make your trip there!

    The UPS Store-Holiday Shipping

    Are you prepping for your big Santa moment? Well, after you find the perfect gifts and add your loving touch, here are some ways that you can make sure your experience goes smoothly:

    • Cull all of the addresses you’re shipping to in advance. This way, you keep your time in the location to a minimum (and everyone else waiting) down and can hand it over to ensure accuracy once it’s entered in the system.
    • Have the approximate value of your items noted so you can share during the transaction. This will come in handy just in case anything happens.
    • Don’t be a Scrooge. While The UPS Store will have extended hours and extra hands to help with the holiday rush, remember if you’re in line, everyone is there for the same reason and trying to be safely six feet apart so remember to breathe andif you’re lucky like I was, there will be Christmas music playing while you wait.. 

    Now, go forth and conquer the rest of 2020. Check out The UPS Store website for all of the info you need to plan your holiday!

    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?

    Happy Monday, y’all! What is going on? Well, her Happy Monday, y’all! What is going on? Well, here are answers to your questions (😆😆):
◾️Yes, it’s snowing in Dallas...it’s 12 degrees right now. And it’s gonna be cold with potentially more snow this week. WTF 
◾️We had power but now it’s off again...daytime is okay but night time sucks.
◾️I have on a fleece under here but of course when I posed, the sleeves pulled up in the coat (now I get the thumb hole concept...). I don’t own boots for this so my California is showing! ☀️🕶🌴
◾️ @lifeofrudytheboston HATES it as you can tell from his face...but he managed to run for at least 5 min with a pack of other dogs at the park. Thank the LAWD.
◾️ Being snowed in in a city that doesn’t do snow feels crazy. But it’s kind of nice and this will make a helluva story one day.

How’s your Monday going? Tell me somethin good! 🥶❄️☃️
