Hey guys!
A while back I was joined by my good friend, Veronica Stapleton, for Cooking with the Coffey’s. To say the least, she’s a ton of fun and we had a blast putting together our Stone Soup Brunch. Join us for a good laugh! Enjoy!

Somehow, Marilyn Monroe managed to sum up so many of the thoughts and feelings from my entire day yesterday in one quote all those years ago…
Before I get to it. Know this-
The enemy will try to steal our joy, and that’s the beauty of faith. The part he can’t quite comprehend –that God sees every need, big & small, and that He will send us guardian angels in the beautiful form of friends to carry us through even the most difficult of days. Days where something in their spirit stirs so strongly that they just have this gut feeling to reach out to you, or be connected to you, even if they don’t know why or where that feeling is coming from.
It’s all about a vibe, a frequency, and I do my best to cherish the ones who are synced up to me in that way 💗
I know I stress the importance of relationships so much on here, but it’s something I believe in so strongly. Find your tribe. Love them hard 🙏🏾
peace, love & sunshine ~ Chels

This life is what you make it. No matter what, you’re going to mess up sometimes, it’s a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you’re going to mess it up.
Girls will be your friends – they’ll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything – they’re your true best friends. Don’t let go of them…
Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they’ll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them – actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can’t give up because if you give up, you’ll never find your soul mate. You’ll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything.
Just because you fail once, doesn’t mean you’re gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don’t, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life’s a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about.

Mini Melty’s are always a good kick in the butt. Thank God for those emails Marie Forleo sends all the time. I searched her name and scrolled and scrolled until I found the subject line I needed to see –How to find the work you were meant to do.
God has this beautiful way of giving us what we need when we need it most and revealing it just in the nick of time.
Join me for this week’s Coffey Break Chat as I share where I’m at with my own journey to discovering what I’m meant to do and personal reflection on hanging in there!
Hope this will be a blessing to you guys. Praying for any and everyone out there who can relate.
Peace, Love & Sunshine, Chelsea

“The things you are passionate about are not random, they are your calling.” – Fabienne Fredrickson
This is somewhat of an about me post. For the sake of clarity, here’s the rundown: I’m an Image Consultant x Personal Stylist x Writer x Brand Strategist x Futurist
I have a nonprofit designed to provide underserved kids k-12 with confidence building experiences through fashion called Mia’s Closet, and the work we do means the world to me.
My dreamy in a perfect world goal is simple, help as many people as possible feel good about themselves, hold their head high, and look their best while doing so –kids and adults alike.
It’s not just about the clothes or fashion, it’s about positive self-expression and the confidence that builds from moments of intention to do so.

Hey guys!
As some of you may know, Instagram is my favorite social media platform. So, any big announcements catch my attention. There’s a lot of commentary going on about the upcoming change to their algorithm. I tend to do a little research before jumping on a bandwagon, and I finally came across the information I was looking for from one of my favorite writers @ggrenewrties (seen above).
The beauty of social media is connection, and say what you want about the downsides, it has been the coolest thing to see this network of real life and virtual friends build their brands and/or simply share their journey.
I’ve spent the greater part of the last year redefining my own personal online presence for The Coffey Break, Mia’s Closet, and The Coffey Shop, and I totally understand the apprehension about the changes. Nonetheless, I think it’s important to understand the full scope of what this means for us and our brands.
Assuming I’m not the only one who feels this way, I did a little digging and found the following article:
Here’s an excerpt.
Chronological newsfeed was truly effective only in two instances: businesses posted to Instagram every half an hour or their followers had a very limited number of handles they followed. This cannot be a widespread trend, because according to Optical Cortex data based on 20,000+ Instagram users, average number of people they follow is 822. So, for a majority of brand’s following those images most likely weren’t the first thing they saw; and that chronological order didn’t really matter anyway.
Now what really made a difference, and still will continue to do so, is getting ahead of the game with smart strategies. What you have (to continue) to do as a smart marketer is to focus on quality content that drives engagement.
A lot of people who follow brands and celebrities will deliberately go to the handle to see what’s new. People follow Nike, Lexus or Kylie Jenner, because they know that each new post will be amazing (whatever their definition of amazing is). So, strive to make your Instagram account a mecca for striking visual content. This is the only way to ensure people won’t stop engaging with your content, whatever the algorithm is.
There are also a few other tactics you can employ to stay ahead of the curve…

Sometimes the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Happy Monday guys!
