    What I Bought This Black Friday

    November 22, 2018fashion

    Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I hope you had a wonderful day. It’s been nice and chill over here and the little peek of sunshine today was quite the treat. Earlier today, I was having a conversation with CJ about Black Friday and how my view is completely tainted after having worked so many of them in retail. I was always one of the top three salespeople on Black Friday, so you know I was hustlin! Through that hustle, I’ve seen the not-so-pretty side of it and I can’t help but think of all of the people who overbuy because things are on sale.

    I told myself a while ago that I was going to use this Black Friday to refresh my fall and winter wardrobe  Some of my favorite items are just starting to look a little worn, while others just don’t fit anymore. I didn’t make a big fuss about it, but I lost about 15 pounds this year so some things are just loose in the wrong places!

    This Black Friday, I kept it simple and shopped at Macy’s, Gap and Old Navy. I also picked up a Daily Deal at Sephora!

    Earlier this week, I had a TV segment on Good Day Sacramento talking about Macy’s Black Friday deals and was so surprised to learn about the $39.99 cashmere sweaters for women. You read that right! $39.99, and I had the chance to wear one on air. Can I just tell you how soft, lightweight, and warm they were? I ended up stocking up on two. You can never go wrong with cashmere, and they make awesome gifts. Consider getting one for you and one for your mom and sister(friend), too.

    Right now, Gap & Old Navy is having 50% off of everything – site and storewide. Since a lot of my seasonal staples come from those stores, I loaded up!

    Lastly, I’m not big on eyeshadow, but the best shadow I’ve used as of late was an Urban Decay Naked palette. I’m late to the party, but I couldn’t resist picking up another one, this time, the Heat palette, for 50% off on the Sephora website. They have a few other Daily Wow deals today, and I’m sure more to come as the weekend goes on. I’ll be watching!

    My Black Friday Finds

    I can’t wait for all of my goodies arrive! I may update this with more finds this weekend. Be sure to follow me on Instagram for announcements.

     

    Other Sales to Shop for some of my favorite items

    T3 Micro: T3 is having 25% off sitewide through Sunday 11/25 with FRIDAY18. Two items I cannot live without are on sale, including the Whirl Trio and Cura Luxe Blow Dryer.

    Soma: Ok, can we talk about underwear? I don’t think we talk about it enough. I LOVE Soma undergarments and right now, they are having 30% off of everything (use code 36760), and free shipping with any purchase through 11/27.

    Erin Condren: Are you a planner freak, or you want to be one? I’m somewhere in the middle, but I recently started using an Erin Condren Lifeplanner and love it! The site is 30% off right now, so it’s great to get one for yourself and for a friend. I just ordered one of their Wedding Planners and can’t wait for it to arrive.

    kate spade new york: On most days, I’m wearing a kate spade bag. Whether it’s my work bag, crossbody, or boho bag, I have many in my collection. Even my zip-purses and wallets are kate spade. The surprise sale is happening a couple more days, so you want to check it out. Bags are ridiculously cheap and so are accessories. I said I wasn’t going to grab anything, but may have to take a peek and see what I can snag for people on my list.

    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? 
#KachetTakesDallas
    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! 🥶❄️☃️
