"The fact that I wear both hats allows me to relate to the entrepreneurs and share both experiences."

I own a women's online boutique, called Frugal Chics Roc, which styles women with statement accessories and clothing for work and play. The fact that I wear both hats allows me to relate to the entrepreneurs and share both experiences. I understand the need to at times juggle both worlds and deliver a quality product or service. Plus my MBA is helpful as I have the added analytical and structured perspective.

Are there some Start:ME entrepreneurs you've purchased products or services from?

"Yes, salon services from YaYa�s, hair care products from Moisture Love, and skincare products from Buttermeup."
