How I Got Started |
I've always had the heart of an entrepreneur and wanted to run a business of my own. My mother owns her own company and I plan on following in her footsteps, just in a different industry. I dipped my toes into running a business when I started Lariat's N Lashes. Labor Day weekend in 2015 I was at a big rodeo. A good friend of mine struck up a conversation with my mother about her 'lil makeup biz.' She told my mom all about this amazing business she ran all from her cell phone! AND she gets to play with makeup all day! How cool is that? Well I wasn't too thrilled and was quite skeptical. I had the typical thoughts 'oh pyramid scheme,' 'I don't have enough time,' etc. My friend ended up inviting me to a training that they were having in a few weeks. I figured, what the heck, and decided to go. That day I had SO MUCH FUN! I met a ton of new girls, had a great time playing with makeup, taking photos, and learning some basics of running a biz. I had such a BLAST that I literally ordered my kit right there and was ready to kick it in high gear! I love trying new things so I slightly put the makeup thing on the back burner and dove right into starting the Mulberry Market Co..

Big Dreams |
I try to spend as much time as possible hanging out and working on our farm in Metamora, Michigan along side my wonderful boyfriend Jon. I keep very busy helping him tend to the farm; whether it be caring for the horses, pigs, chickens, etc, or keeping the property in order. Along with riding horses I enjoy spending my free time, riding dirtbikes, traveling, gardening, and making all natural products. I am really into the idea of homesteading and I aspire to build this business to the point that I can afford to live on a farm raising all sorts of animals, growing veggies, making soap.... and all that fun stuff! One day I would like to have a permanent property to operate the Mulberry Market out of. I dream of an adorable coffee shop with a quaint little bakery and general store that carries all of our handmade products.
