The Brand and Voice of Cheeky Cheer!

After experiencing some major life changes, I found myself in a funk. With my new free time, I decided I was overdue for some essential self-care and began to focus on me. I learned that I could control my world just by changing my view of it.

You know the saying, ‘be the change you want to see?’ I realized that with my background in fashion design, I literally had the power to make the world beautiful in my own hands, starting with me. I decided, just being myself, was worth celebrating.

Fast forward to late 2022, Cheeky Cheer began to form. Using an old cheer pattern, I created my first Cheeky Cheer skirts with holiday fabrics and have since added corresponding knits!

In trying times, it helps to surround yourself with beautiful things and life experiences.

Sometimes you have to wear them.

Be your own cheerleader!

Tip #1 - "Know Thy Cheeky Self!"

All of us are on this scary, freaky, crazy, beautiful trip called "life." Believe it or not, your first mission is to learn you. Learn what you love, like, can stand maybe on a random Tuesday. Make a list of all of the things you love about yourself and all the things you enjoy. No seriously, write it down too. On those "blah" days, having a visual list to refer back to is like a light in the darkness, which just happens to be a clustered reflection of you. Go into this light, it's okay!

Tip #2 - "Let Your Cheeky Light Shine!"

Now it's time to do... Don't be scurred! Some of us just "look" like we know what we're doing in this thing better than others. There are some real Oscar winning performances going on at times! Guess what? The world is your stage too. Take the limelight. Be the limelight. Your

YOU-niqueness makes the world a more colorful place to live in. Celebrate it. You were meant to be a lil different. "Buy the box of 24 crayons that are all the same color." Says no one. Not even you! Let it shine, Let it shine Let it shine!

"You are your possibilities. If you know that, you can do anything." – Oprah Winfrey

Tip #3 - "Learning To Be My Cheeky Self"

I lost my Mother a week before my 49th birthday in 2021. Just 5 months later, my 10 year relationship ended too. I was devastated. Still healing. Still feeling. Trying to grow past it and find the beauty again. I decided I didn't want to go broke with spending sprees and superficial things. Covid was a great cover to stay in isolation. I knew though, if I kept that up, it would spiral into depression. So, I told myself, 'this self-care routine is gonna be different. I'm going to learn what I love, like and can tolerate on a random Tuesday. And...do those things.' I started sewing again. It made me happy. So I sewed some more and Cheeky Cheer was born.

Where ever you are on your journey, you can do this. Most importantly, you can do this, showing up, entirely embracing you. I'll be somewhere on that journey too!

With all that said, I'm hoping you let Cheeky Cheer & Knits come along with you.

Let's Celebrate together!
