 My Paparazzi Journey
I joined Paparazzi Accessories in September 2014, taking a leap of faith with the business — and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. At first, I just wanted to buy jewelry for myself at a discount, but it didn’t take long for me to realize how incredible this business truly was. The jewelry sold itself, and before I knew it, Paparazzi had become so much more than I ever expected.
Six months after joining, my world turned upside down. My mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and six months later, my husband was diagnosed with cancer as well. That was when I realized how uncertain life could be — and how important it was to have something I could rely on. I bought a moving truck and turned it into a mobile boutique, allowing me to keep my day job while building a business that could sustain us if we ever needed it. In December 2015, my mom lost her battle with cancer. Around the same time, my husband was fighting for his life — and after a long, grueling journey, he recovered and came back stronger than ever. Through all of it, Paparazzi was my outlet, my community, and my source of hope. I built lifelong friendships, found strength I didn’t know I had, and grew a business that helped us through some of our toughest times.
Now, after more than a 11 years, it’s time for the next chapter. I’ve decided to officially retire from Paparazzi Accessories.
After being diagnosed with Breast Cancer myself last year, I am still struggling with my health so I feel it is time to rest and take care of myself.
While I’m no longer offering new releases, I’m continuing to share the gorgeous Paparazzi jewelry you know and love — now at more affordable prices. And as I transition into this new phase, I’m also thinking of expanding into clothing and accessories that pair perfectly with the jewelry that started it all. This will come at a later date as I continue to research ways to offer this without carrying inventory.
Paparazzi has been a beautiful part of my life — one that gave me friendship, strength, and purpose when I needed it most. And while I may be retiring from the consultant side, the sparkle will always stay with me. And I hope you all stay with me and continue to follow me into my next phase! XOXO
