OWNING OUR OWN IMAGE #CREATEHERS CHAT + RECAP

Our very first Twitter chat was a huge success! Many of us are still trying to come down from Cloud 9 from all of the beautiful and empowering things shared this past Friday night. With a major thanks to our host (@glamsavvy) - this chat definitely left us with amazing gems.

I have quite a few reasons to be jumping for joy and screaming THANK YA from the rooftops!

You get images that lack the "personality" you need or 2. You simply download what you can get from the internet and not think twice about copyright.
