A Post For Dreamers



Life is about dreaming big, loving hard and taking many chances along the way. While it may be scary to pursue your dreams, use your fears as the extra boost you need to take your life to the next level. Many of us are mostly scared to fail. Failure is always guaranteed if you stand still in fear. Earjeans is an advocate for dreamers who pursue their passion.

If you are reading this, we want to encourage you to keep doing what you are doing. It's not in vain, it will pay off, and you are not waisting you time. Your dreams wouldn't be within you if there wasn't a need for them outside of you. Keep going for it!

With love,

#TeamEarjeans

What's Your Style?


Defining our personal style starts first with knowing who we are, what we stand for, and what we want out of life. Every decision we make from that point (from clothing to career choices) will be a reflection of this. Without taking time to discover who we are, we can easily make the mistake of allowing our jobs, bank accounts, relationships, children and ________________ (feel free to chime in here) to define us. The problem with this is that when these things fail we also think we are failures. This is not true!!

For those who don't know exactly who they are and what they want out of life yet, let's make the decision today to begin exploring the wonderful world of ______________ (enter your name here). Start trying & learning new things, experimenting with different hobbies, meeting new groups of people, hanging out in different places, traveling to different countries and any other cool things that take you out of your comfort zone (in a positive way). You will soon discover a new side of you that you never knew existed. (This feeling never gets old for me) :)

For those who do know who they are and what they want out of life, keep showing the world how awesome you are!

Until next time,

Tasha LaRae

Keep improving your quality of life.

Sharing Creativity




I don't think I'll ever get tired of the creative process! Now that I only have a few months left in school, I'm finding more time to dream up, sketch out, and create new jewelry pieces.

*side note* Going back to school to earn my degree has been an eye-opening experience for me. I really believe it's one of the top 5 best decisions I've ever made. *end side note*

Anyhoo, here is my newest creation I'd like to share with you. It's called "The Gladiator"

For more information and to purchase click here


I hope you like it. If so, please feel free to comment :)

Have a great day!!

Walk With Purpose & Style





Over the past few weeks I've encountered books and engaged in several conversations that all dealt with the same topic - having definite aim. We all have certain things we want to achieve in life. We may even have multiple things we wish to accomplish at the same time (I am so guilty of this). The problem is we don't always narrow our desires down to a single, specific target. My favorite motivational speaker, Zig Ziglar, says, "If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time".

Having a specific target helps you to narrow your energy, thoughts, and focus down to that single idea. This focused intensity is the fuel that brings those desires to reality.

Try this experiment with me. Grab a piece of paper and write the following:

1) One short term goal you'd like to reach by the end of this year.
2) Why is reaching this goal so important and in what ways will achieving this goal benefit you, your family, your business, community, etc?
3) what are obstacles that would stop you from reaching this goal
4) how can you get around those obstacles so you can get what you want

After doing this, write one or two sentences that state exactly what you want, why you want it, and how you will overcome any obstacles to get what you want.

For example, my goal is to lose 20lbs by December 31. So my sentence reads like this:

"I will lose 20lbs by December 31, 2013 as I begin my journey to a healthier lifestyle so I can enjoy a long life filled with the love of family and friends. I will plan my meals and exercise times one week in advance to overcome my busy schedule and ensure I put my health and well being before my work".

Once you have your sentence, read it out loud everyday - first thing when you wake up and last thing before you go to bed. You can post it in your home or car as an additional reminder if you like. If you do this, you will begin to feel a difference in your attitude. Your thoughts will begin to direct you towards achieving your goals.

I would like to encourage us all to walk with a definite aim and purpose. And to do it with style!

Have an amazing Friday!

Sincerely, Tasha LaRae
