I’ve always wanted to do a Carrie costume. I have I’ve always wanted to do a Carrie costume. I have a list of costumes on my phone that I’ve been filtering through each year and Carrie was top. I knew I wanted this to be beaded and that would require a lot of time so i waited for a year I knew I had time to commit. 

So, rewind to July. Yes, July. I got the dress and took it to my backyard where I poured acrylic paint and water on it while standing on a ladder to make the splatter look right. @fusilierkate came over for a rhinestone consultation so I could visualize a plan. I distinctly remember her saying, you aren’t going to rhinestone all the way to the bottom, right?  And at the time that sounded like a crazy idea…. 

I laid 8,000 individual rhinestones. 

But my commitment to the plot is unmatched and since I had time I beaded the whole thing in ss20 Siam rhinestones. I used a few appliqués, mesh loaded with stones to fill larger spaces, just to make the workload a little lighter and to add some visual difference in the pattern. Remember we wanted this to look like dried blood so it needed texture and angles so it didn’t just look like a pretty dress. 

I also went back and forth about the headpiece. Initially I thought I was going to do a bucket suspended above my head but I saw a lot of reference photos with that already so I went a different direction with the tiara and veil. Again texture and layers. 

Last came the bucket. I had to free hand the blood with a sharpie. An artist I am not so this was probably the most difficult part. I lined it with tulle and strings of rhinestones so I could dump in on my head during the costume content. #preformanceart 

Overall I could not be happier with how it turned out. She will be available for rent when I fix a few minor pieces I broke off Friday night. Let me know if you would be interested. 

PS thank you to @30byninety theater for allowing me to use their Zombie Prom set as the background for my shoot. It was perfection. As always @skylarkuhn_ @skylartheriotphotography gave me some beautifully shot images. 

Already working on my next idea.

A lot of small businesses think influencer partner A lot of small businesses think influencer partnerships are for big brands with big budgets.
They are not.

As we head into November and December this might be exactly the right time to think about working with an influencer to get your business in front of a new audience.

Here is the thing most people miss. When you work with an influencer you are not just getting a post. You are accessing their entire sphere — people who trust them, follow them, and buy based on their recommendations. Believe it or not there are people in your own community who have never heard of your business. An influencer partnership is one of the most effective ways to change that.

Before you reach out there are a few things you need to know.

Know whether you can afford a paid partnership or if it needs to be gifted and go in leading with that. Look beyond follower count because engagement, story consistency, and content alignment matter more. Check the mutuals because less overlap between their followers and yours means more new eyes on your brand. Be specific about what you want and get whatever you agree on in writing. A full campaign with multiple posts and stories is not happening on a gifted exchange so be realistic about your ask.

The brands that are easiest to work with are clear, professional, and upfront from the first message.
Be that brand.

Save this before you reach out to your first influencer.

Opportunity isn’t pie, I say it all the time. When Opportunity isn’t pie, I say it all the time. When I get an opportunity my first instinct is to figure out who else I can bring into it because somebody did that for me and it changed everything. You don’t need a big platform to do this, you need to say her name, send the referral, share her stuff and mean it. Pick one this week. Tag the woman you’re doing it for 👇

Last year I lost a friend to breast cancer. In 20 Last year I lost a friend to breast cancer.

In 2026 it is easy to feel like breast cancer is a beatable disease. And a lot of the time it is. But we have to be careful not to let that thinking make us forget that people are still dying from it. This past year our friend group has felt her absence in ways that are hard to put into words.

I am a busy person, and I do not always prioritize my health the way I should but this summer I booked my mammogram and I made sure not to reschedule it.

It is never a fun experience. But St. Tammany Women’s Pavilion does a beautiful job; the atmosphere is calm, the robes are warm, and they make something uncomfortable feel a little more manageable.

If you take one thing from this post let it be this.  Get checked. Make early detection a priority. If your provider is recommending a preventative screening, then get it done. Your health is your wealth. Not just because you want to live a long life but because you want the quality of that life to be worth living. Early detection saves lives.

Book the appointment.
