Chic & Lively is a fashion, beauty, and lifestyle blog based on frugal finds and affordable living. Founded and written by Roxi in 2019, Chic & Lively serves as an outlet to inspire, encourage, and connect with the everyday girl and millennial. The mission of Chic & Lively is to cultivate and empower a community of like-minded individuals.
Dressing fashionably does not have to become expensive or break the bank. Although it may seem like others are more fortunate to have a limitless budget dedicated to just their closet, Chic & Lively loves finding good deals and sharing with the community on styles that are cost-efficient.
HOW THE NAME WAS BORN
The name "Chic & Lively" was born due to Roxi's love for fashionable style (chic) and her upbeat energy without any help from caffeine which gave birth to the name (lively).
A fun fact about Roxi: She does not drink coffee in the morning upon waking up. From the start of the day until bedtime, Roxi's number one beverage throughout the day is water. She may drink hot tea, bubble tea, otherwise known as "tapioca tea", but she rarely drinks caffeine, not even sodas!
If you ever see Roxi with coffee, it will likely be iced or frappucino. 🙂
WRITING AS A FORM OF COMMUNICATION
Prior to creating her own website, Roxi used to write blogs for Pearson Education P.S. Student Blogs, which can be found here and here. Communication is key in all aspects of human connection and writing comes across as the most thorough and thoughtful form that Roxi is able to share with others.
WORDS OF AFFIRMATION
If you have heard of or taken the Five Love Languages Quiz by Dr. Gary Chapman, "words of affirmation" are one of the communication traits. This is also Roxi's strongest relationship-building language. As we all may know, words can make or break a person. Although there is a quote that goes "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me", this is not true.
Words may not physically break us, but it is the mental and emotional pain that will haunt us. The bible even speaks about communication and the use of our tongue. Proverbs 18 verse 20-21, in NIV, says, "From the fruit of their mouth a person's stomach is filled; with the harvest of their lips they are satisfied. The tongue has the power of life and death..."
The purpose behind Chic & Lively is to bring affirmational words and create positive experiences for its readers while delivering relatable content.
Meet the Author
Hello, friends! I am so excited you are here!
Besides my love as a foodie, I have a slight obsession with fashion and all things beauty. You see, fashion was not about wearing expensive clothes or feeling beautiful in them for me back then and now. But it served as an outlet for my creativity, femininity, and individuality. I was able to express myself.
Fashion is making an unspoken statement and expressing who you truly are. I fell in love with fashion because it gave me: confidence.
