A Spring Shift — The LO DOWN, Vol. 3
Hi friends,
Major exhale, guys—spring is officially on the horizon. WE DID IT. Maybe it’s the temps, maybe it’s the added daily sunlight, but I can feel a surge of fresh energy coming in.
But what does fresh energy really mean? To me, it’s about hopefulness and gratitude. It’s about confidence and renewal—not just in beauty, but in how we show up everywhere in our lives. And while spring in Wisconsin might not fully commit for a while, this season still invites us to refresh, reset, and reconnect.
I truly believe confidence starts with how you feel—this is how I live my life, and it’s at the core of everything we do at White Brick. But I’m also challenging myself to take this a step further: where am I avoiding a real reset? Am I choosing the easy changes—the ones that don’t push me too far outside my comfort zone? And if so, what possibilities am I leaving on the table? What’s waiting for me on the other side of THAT refresh?
So yes, of course, we do the fun things—switching up our look, revitalizing with deep conditioning treatments, shaking up our routines. But let’s also ask: what beliefs, habits, or fears am I holding onto that are ready to be swept out, too?
We’re here to help you step into this next season feeling like the best version of you—the version that feels ready, capable, and in charge of what comes next. Thanks for being here. Read on for a winter reflection and tips on stepping into renewal—inside and out.
💛

Spring Refresh: Beyond the Surface
Fresh energy isn’t just about swapping out our winter wardrobe or adding a new product to our routine—it’s about claiming a version of ourselves that feels fully alive, aligned, and ready for what’s next. Renewal isn’t just external; it’s a mindset shift, a clearing of dull, past energy, and an intentional commitment to growth.
But here’s the thing: real refreshes aren’t always comfortable. It’s easy to focus on the small, low-risk changes—refreshed look, organizing our space, swapping one habit for another. And while those things matter, the real magic happens when we go deeper.
➡️ Where am I clinging to routines, beliefs, or fears that are keeping me stuck?
➡️ What’s one thing I know I need to release—but have been avoiding?
➡️ If I fully embraced a reset in my life, what could be possible for me?
True confidence comes from showing up for yourself fully, even when it feels challenging. And just like your body & hair thrives when you give it the care it truly needs, your energy, confidence, and mindset need that same kind of honest nourishment.
Actionable Steps for a Deeper Reset
💫 Declutter Your Energy: Just like clearing out old products or shedding dull ends, take stock of relationships, commitments, and thought patterns that no longer serve you. Ask yourself: Does this energize or drain me?
💫 Change One Small Habit That Feels Stagnant: Maybe it’s a morning routine that needs refreshing, a new way of moving your body, or even a fresh approach to styling your hair that makes you feel put together and empowered.
💫 Do One Thing That Scares You (Just a Little): Growth happens at the edge of discomfort. Whether it’s saying yes to a new opportunity, setting a boundary, or finally making that bold change you’ve been thinking about—it’s time to go for it.
The holidays are notoriously wild for most of us, but as your stylists, we go HARD to make sure that we can ensure you are looking and feeling your best for all the events on your plate and memories that will last for life. AFTER THE RUSH, it felt so good to come together as a team to play, laugh, celebrate a successful season, and just take a moment to enjoy a different kind of artistry.

IBE Masters 2.0
I’m taking my education to the next level and working through masters technique 2.0. Invisible Bead Extensions (IBE) pushes us as stylists to constantly grow in order to offer the best possible experience, which is in such alignment with my personal approach to education & growth.
This means diving into the nitty gritty of scalp and hair health! I’ll learn to train my eyes to focus on the scalp in its entirety, all the way down to one single hair! Knowing Scalp structures & scalp elasticity helpS create hair you love and that feels amazing.
Soul Stuff
When the clock struck 2025, I decided to upgrade my style choices to more closely align with the person I wanted to be. They say dress for the job you want, and part of that is because you start to shift into the energy of the identity of that person. I am organized and confident — so if it’s not giving open-hearted, vibey, playful LEADER, I don’t want it. Don’t get me wrong I love comfy, and so that has remained part of the challenge to embrace this shift while still feeling like my body can move effortlessly through the many roles I fill over the day, and stick with me through some long, long hours.
This has made such a difference in how light and empowered I feel. I am excited to bring some of these pieces and vibes into BRICK + BLOSSOM over the course of the year.

As we wrap up cozy season and move into spring, and my upcoming Birthday month, I can’t help but reflect on how important it was for me to take some time getting still over the last few months to really lean into what my mind, body & soul needed. Now, more rested and clear, it feels POSSIBLE AND EXCITING to have a whole plate of new inspiration and ideas to bring to life.
