I’ve always believed life is best experienced with a strong cup of coffee in one hand and a bold red lipstick in the other. Coffee wakes you up — it fuels clarity and focus. Lipstick is a statement. It’s about showing up, ready to be seen and heard. For me, those two things reflect how I move through the world — with curiosity, intention, and a touch of red.
But for women who love to explore, create, and lead, the world doesn’t always hand you a clear path. When I started working in content marketing, I quickly realized the spaces I moved through didn’t always reflect the voices of women like me — women who crave both adventure and substance, who want to build something meaningful while still embracing beauty, pleasure, and a well-stamped passport.
Why does that gap exist? From what I’ve seen, it’s partly because the hospitality industry — and even professional life in general — often values productivity over creativity, and expertise over personal experience. We’re told to pick one lane, to separate work from lifestyle. But I’ve never believed you have to choose. I think your love for travel, your sense of style, and your ambition can all inform the way you show up in your career — and in your life.
So I started paying attention. I dove into what I studied at the university, learning how unforgettable guest experiences are built. I explored content marketing, understanding how stories shape brands and connect people. I traveled — a lot — and took note of the details that turn a good trip into a transformative one.
Over time, those experiences shaped not just my career, but my perspective. I started seeing the overlap between service and storytelling, between hospitality and identity. And I realized there was a conversation missing — one about how the work you do and the life you live can complement each other without compromise.
That’s what Coffee and Lipstick is about. It’s for you if you believe your ambition and your wanderlust don’t have to compete. If you care about the work you do and the way you move through the world. If you’re drawn to thoughtful conversations on travel, hospitality, personal growth, and style — and how those things shape who you are.
So whether you’re here for practical insights, a fresh perspective, or just a bit of inspiration — welcome. I’m glad you found your way here. Let’s talk about the things that matter.
