Grace & Grit Beyond Beauty

Last night at Polka Dot Powerhouse’s Catch the Feeling Celebration 2026 in King of Prussia, I was honored to be nominated as Businesswoman of the Year. ❤️

I take what I do very seriously because helping women look and feel like themselves again feels like home. It feels like my purpose.

This honor isn’t just about me. It’s about the women who trust me during some of their most vulnerable moments. And it’s about this incredible sisterhood of women who have pushed me, lifted me, encouraged me, supported me, and challenged me in ways I didn’t even know I needed.

I could not have built this business alone, and I’m incredibly grateful to be seen, supported, and surrounded by such amazing powerhouses. And in being seen by this group, I feel like the women I serve are being seen, too.

Because at the end of the day, we’re all women. We all need connection. We all need community. And sometimes, we all need someone in our corner.

Here’s to purpose, community, and the women whose stories we carry. ❤️

And if you’re a woman in business—or simply a woman looking for connection and community and you’re not sure where to turn—check out Polka Dot Powerhouse.

If you’re curious or have questions, my inbox is open. ❤️ Polka Dot Powerhouse - Lancaster, PA Chapter Polka Dot Powerhouse

Day One morning at Polka Dot Powerhouse Celebration 2026! ❤️

400 women. One room. So much connection, growth, personal development, and compassion. These women’s hearts are on fire for lifting each other up, supporting one another, and making a difference.

And of course… 🦙 NO DRAMA LLAMA!

What an incredible way to start the weekend. And we’re just getting started! ✨

Rare day off with Kellie last week, and y’all, she took me thrifting. $2 Tuesday at Goodwill turned into a five-hour treasure hunt through a sea of blue tags at 2 different stores.

My girl treats bargain hunting like cardio, and honestly I just tried to keep up. Let’s just say we left with bags full, cheeks sore from laughing, and our step counts skyrocketing.

We all need this kind of fun! 🤣😂

These moments say it all. 💕

Women from Berks, Lancaster, Harrisburg & York coming together — and what started as networking has become so much more.

Real relationships. Collaboration. Encouragement. Women opening doors, celebrating wins and genuinely showing up for one another.

Because when women choose connection over competition, pretty amazing things happen. ❤️

Grateful for this community, these friendships and all the places these connections continue to take us.

And we’re just getting started. 💕

Thursday was a BIG hair day at Grace & Grit! 💕

Three beauties came in to pick up their new hair, and the day was packed with excitement, education, and those moments that remind me exactly why I do this.

Because pickup day isn’t just, “Here’s your wig—bye!” 😂

We spent time learning how to put her on, wear her confidently, care for her, style her, and make her truly feel like THEIR hair.

There were smiles, laughs, lots of questions, a little playing with hair…and THREE women who walked out knowing, “Yep. I’ve got this.”

That’s the goal. Not just beautiful hair—confidence in knowing exactly what to do with it.

Three beauties. Three new looks. One very full heart. 💕✨

More than a wig shop. Always.💕

We decided to show up HIGHLY CAFFEINATED for West Reading’s 20th Annual Fall Fest… and it’s a good thing we did. 😂☕🍂

What a day!

Thank you to everyone who came out to support West Reading’s small businesses, local artisans, cocktail creators, and this amazing community we’re so lucky to be part of.

And Kellie was absolutely living her best life. 😂 If there is one thing this girl loves, it’s a GOOD DEAL — and apparently she loves giving one just as much as getting one. Honestly, 50% off may be Kellie’s love language. 🤣❤️

One of my favorite parts of the day was hearing so many of you tell us how much you loved our retail boutique. That chapter may have ended, but hearing what it meant to you was incredibly heartwarming.

Grace & Grit has evolved, and today our focus is exactly where our hearts are — helping women rediscover their confidence through alternative hair, education, and a whole lot of support.

Because feeling like yourself isn’t vanity. It’s self-care. ❤️

Thank you for continuing to grow with us, cheer us on, and support this crazy little dream called Grace & Grit. We are so grateful. 🍂❤️

Huge thanks to everyone who helped make this day safe, clean and enjoyable. Visit West Reading

Rosie went on her first big hiking adventure at The Pinnacle! 🐾⛰️

She climbed rocks, explored EVERYTHING, sniffed approximately 47,000 things and basically thought we had planned the entire mountain just for her. 😂 She was in her glory.

Meanwhile, I had been led to believe we were going for a leisurely walk.
I should’ve suspected something when he packed a lunch for us. 😂🤣
Friends. This was not a walk. 😂 This was MILES of mountain…as in STRAIGHT UP.

Rosie handled it like a tiny furry mountain goat. I handled it with considerably less grace. 😂

But watching her explore, climb and have the absolute BEST day made every uphill step worth it.

Rosie’s review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Would absolutely drag Mom up a mountain again. 🐾😂
