Happy 17th Birthday, Fleurty Girl! 💚✨
Seventeen years ago today, I went on my lunch break, walked into the Louisiana Secretary of State’s office, and registered Fleurty Girl as an LLC and started this company.
I had no business plan, no investors, and certainly no idea what the future would hold. What I did have was a dream, a whole lot of determination, and the willingness to take a chance on myself.
Never in a million years could I have imagined that it would grow into nine stores, an incredible team, a community of customers who feel like family, and a life I truly love.
There were plenty of moments when it would have been easier to quit. There were risks, setbacks, sleepless nights, hurricanes, pandemics, construction zones, and more than a few tears along the way. But there were also victories, friendships, laughter, and memories I’ll cherish forever.
If there’s one thing these 17 years have taught me: it’s that you don’t have to have everything figured out to begin. I sure didn’t! Sometimes, you just have to be brave enough to take the first step and trust yourself with the rest.
To everyone who has shopped with us, commented on our posts, cheered us on, worked alongside me, believed in an idea, or simply told a friend about Fleurty Girl: thank you. YOU helped build this. Every milestone belongs to all of us. 💚
Today, I’m feeling incredibly grateful, humbled, and proud of that younger version of myself who decided to stop waiting and just go for it.
And if you’re sitting on a dream of your own, consider this your sign: take the chance. You never know where one brave decision might lead. 💚🎈🥹🎉
