Hey guys!

I did a blog post a while back on showing love. If there's one thing I've noticed about myself, it's that I'm a full-blown cheerleader. I can't help it, and honestly, now that I'm older, I don't think it's something I should try to contain. I'm so inspired by friends and people I meet who not only have a vision for their lives, but the boldness to chase it wholeheartedly. Whether it's little wins or big wins, celebrate them both for yourself and those around you.

So many people are out here busting their butts trying to make their dreams come true, and we could all use a little more encouragement from time to time. Don't hold back on being a part of that. We're stronger together. You just don't know the difference you may be making in the life of the person you're cheering on, and there's something extra special about sharing those moments with other women pursuing their passions.

*Stepping off my soapbox haha All of that, was a shameless alley-oop and thank you to Melissa Alam and Nikki Khanna of Femme & Fortune, for the invitation to be a part of their #WeRunThisWorld campaign in partnership with @misacosmetics_

It's a great feeling knowing that I contributed to an initiative specifically designed to empower women by way of a product I have spent who knows how much money on, and that so many of us use very regularly, nail polish.

Below you'll find a cool mix of girl boss names thoughtfully curated by Melissa and her team such as, "Call Me CEO" and clever product descriptions to match. Also, did I mention the nail polish itself is SO great?!

My shades for the shoot were Shatter The Glass Ceiling, a nice flat white, which was all too fitting for this point in my life --bigger and better in 2017 ;-) As well as, We Can Do It! Lord knows any friend of mine can tell you that I probably appreciate the concept of "teamwork makes the dream work" more than most haha The shade is a deep sapphire blue that adds a bold pop of color against my skin. I quite possibly couldn't have asked for a better pair to match my narrative.

Check out the full set of descriptions from the line below. 

398 - Shatter The Glass Ceiling - We may be going back to basics with this sharp white color, but female rights are human rights. Know yourself and know your worth so we can shatter the glass ceiling together!
399 - Women Who Work - Behind every successful woman is a tribe of women lifting and supporting her. Whether you're a mother, CEO or student, stay peachy keen with this dreamy spring color.
400 - Future Is Female - There's no doubt that women hold the power of the future. Remind yourself of your own strength and courage with this beautiful shade of petal pink.
401 - Femme & Fortune - For all the femme fatales out there looking to make their own fortune, this flirty blush will lead the way!
402 - I'm The Boss - You're a fearless leader who exudes confidence, grace and substance. Leave any self-doubt at the door with this chiffon pink and remember - you're the boss! 
403 - Lean In - We accomplish great things when we support one another. Go the extra mile and watch what amazing things can unfold when we join hands (with bubblegum pink manicures) and lean in.
404 - We Can Do It! - Shine bright like a deep sapphire and take over the world with this bold summer shade on your nails. When we unite as women, we can achieve so much! 
405 - Show Me The Money - It's time we start asking for what we deserve. Wear this creamy shade of kelly green and be ready to tell everyone to "Show Me The Money!"
406 - Call Me CEO - What's our favorite position? Why CEO, of course. Wear this bold hue of cherry red and let the everyone know who run this world.
407 - She Persisted - We are women, hear us roar. Ignore the warnings and never stop persisting with this refreshing red on your nails.
408 - Never Stop The Hustle - For all the dreamers burning the midnight oil, your constant hustle will pay off before you know it. Spice up your work and turn those dreams into reality with this pop of berry.
409 - Stay Ambitious - Whether it means taking up new leadership roles or starting your own business, keep your ambition strong with this decadent fuchsia. The world needs more of you and your magic.
