Who We Are

My name is Cynthia and I am here to talk about confidence and creativity. In a way, I had to rebuild who I was after 2 decades of parenting. Parenting was the best! I loved it. And I got to stay in touch with business life since my husband is also an entrepreneur, but public presentation wasn't on the agenda... and it showed! Mom jeans would've been an improvement over the frumpaliciousness I was rocking! So I went on a joyful journey to rediscover creativity and self expression through style; and old favorite of my youth. I amped my confidence in my appearance, and more importantly, my creativity in life generally. Then, I branched out to explore how creativity and confidence relate to each other and expand each other. 

My moniker is always "whatsreal" because I try to focus on what really matters in life. Products don't matter ;), but  having a respect for your interests and passions DOES matter. It matters a lot. So, I hope to inspire you to explore your own creativity, expand your confidence, step into your truest self in each moment. That is what's real, as far as I'm concerned. Do you agree?

​Now, I use my creativity every day and am learning to challenge my self-imposed barriers and overcome typical fears. I share a little about the work I am doing for the company with whom I work. This company has a 35 year reputation for integrity and authenticity. This company crafts handmade, fair trade, organic products backed by science and with a great deal of respect for our beautiful Earth and her people. One experience with this British Apothecary turned me into a customer for life and then a consultant for the discount ;) but I have stayed and am growing a business to be proud of. You could too!
