Girls that kick ass~ Sophia Amoruso founder of Nasty Gal


I remember there was a time when I felt lost and confused. There were so many things going on in my life. I would not even know where to start, of course we all have that at one point in our lives. You know that saying "life can be like a roller coaster ride" Well.. sometimes that ride gets stuck and you don't know how long or how you will get out of it. Well.. There is a time when you're tired of feeling tired, angry, confused, and hopeless. Then.... all of sudden when that something, or someone comes in front of you and that light bulb lights up💡 
Of course you have to make your own decisions and decide what's next for the good but at least you get some idea on what path to take. 


I remember I was on the 2nd or 3rd date with Ramiro(My now boyfriend) and we decided to go to "The Grove".  After we ate at Loteria Grill, we decided to check out Barnes and Noble. Initially we were in the music section since we both love music, then I decided to head out to the business section, I needed to be motivated, I wanted to find myself again, something that would change my life. Then.. I looked above the book shelf and that's when I saw a pink book called #Girlboss. The light at the end of the tunnel. 

                            


That's when I first learned about Sophia Amoruso and Nasty Gal. It opened my eyes again, while I was reading #Girlboss I felt my motivation come back and started to develop new ideas like this Maycrazylifestyle blog, and working on having new projects for Maycrazylifestyle. I told myself "Mayra your going to be all right"... "Be a fighter, be a dreamer, and kick some ass!!"
Like Sophia said in her book "Be your own idol".

      


I myself needed to stop the negativity in my head and focus on what I wanted to accomplish.

                              

  
Here are some quotes from Sophia's #Girlboss book. This motivates and helps me whenever I start feeling blue. 

•"I also think you can end up ignoring, and even losing, the positive things in your life by focusing too much on the negative. That's a huge drain, as well as waste of time. When you think about people, you give them power."
  • " There are secret opportunities hidden inside every failure" 
  • "I have three pieces of advice I want you to remember: Don't ever grow up. Don't become a bore. Don't let the man get to you."
  • "Focus on the positive things in your life and you'll be shocked at how many more positive things start happening. But before you start to think you just got lucky, remember that it's magic, and you made it yourself." 
  • "A #Girlboss takes her life seriously without taking herself too seriously.She takes chances and takes responsibility on her own terms. She knows when to throw punches and when to roll with them. When to button up and when to let her freak flag fly."
There is so much you can learn from this book #Girlboss but if you still have not purchased this book I recommend it 101%

   


 Sophia made Nasty Gal into a successful business by working her ass off! She is not someone that had wealthy parents, or the daughter of someone famous.. No, she was just a regular girl that made this kick ass vintage store called "Nasty Gal." To me it's like going to a candy store😍 it's not just one style it's all of the styles of clothes you can think of🙌 I'm also in love with their different unique shoes.Yes, I can say I'm a super fan of the Nasty Gal brand because I found a store that I can shop for anything in one place and I cannot get tired of my collection of clothes, I can always wear it over and over again. 



 A few months ago on her #Girlboss tour I had the pleasure of meeting her in person. I was like 2-3 hours early and I got lucky to be one of the first persons in line. Score!!💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃



Since  #Girlboss, she has released a new, bigger, colorful, inspiring book..
Nasty Galaxy!! Get ready to be amazed!!

                         

Thanks to my amazing boyfriend, I have added Nasty Galaxy to my collection. One morning he woke me up and surprised me with Sophia Amoruso's new book. That was an awesome wake up call! 
I love Sophia's new book, not only is the cover catchy to see but there is so much to read inside and check out. I have not seen it all but so far I can see the spirit of Nasty Gal brand is there for sure, her short essays about kick ass inspirational women from past to present, so many illustrations, and the latest scoop and advice of Sophia's past and present life. After my boyfriend handed this book to me, I could not wait to read all these stories and get lost in the Nasty Galaxy space. 



Check her Nasty Galaxy Book tour 
She will be in LA on October 12 at the Barnes and Nobles in the Grove from 7-9pm
