five things on my 35th.

• Wife to Chad (a USPS employee + avid outdoorsman) and mama to Cade (6) and Charlie (3). They are my WORLD and to be honest, why yes...I do love being queen bee in a house full of boys ;)

• You'll likely find me in the Chick-Fil-A drive thru ordering a large Diet Coke (can't hide the obsession). I also can't live without leopard print, concerts, my MAC lipstick ("Velvet Teddy" is my go-to shade) and as many trips to the beach as possible.

• After graduating from The University of South Carolina in 06' (Go Cocks!), I sold online advertising for The Anderson Independent newspaper and quickly realized Anderson, SC had far more cute boutiques than Greenwood. (read: Greenwood had zero women's apparel boutiques. None.) I saw that need and after months of research and preparation (and the wonderful folks over at Countybank believing in me...) I opened Sugar's doors in April of 2008. 

• The name Sugar is inspired by sweet Southern style and service. We say it's "the fashion you crave" because fashion is to women as candy is to kids. We crave it constantly, am I right? Now we ship all over the U.S and always strive to share the sweetest customer service!

• In 2012, I was named SC's Small Business Association's Young Entrepreneur of the Year as well as the 8 Region Young Entrepreneur award recipient. Hands down, the highlight of my career so far.
