(assistant to the regional) Manager

(I couldn't resist an reference to the good ol days of The Office)

So, it's been a week. One week since my beloved Pure Barre Arlington opened, and let me tell you, there were enough blood, sweat and tears to kill a small army, but, it was all worth it.

I work with the most wonderful, hilarious, smart, sweet, talented gals on earth.

The week before opening, I was lucky enough to receive a promotion within the organization. I've moved up in my career before ya know, taking jobs that were higher than what I left, etc, etc, but I've never been promoted. It was a pretty exciting, big moment for me. Silly? Yes. Do I care? No.

It's official!! 

Even the second in command has to manhandle the mannequins. 

So, not only do I get to teach pure barre, but, I get to manage schedules, make friends with the clients, order retail items (hi, I get to buy clothes and jewelry!) and make sure our entire staff is enjoying their jobs and that we are successful. It's daunting, and I'm not sleeping much (even less than usual, if it's possible), but, I'm loving it.

This goofball makes it all worth it. Love my boss!

The faces of survival--and exhaustion.

Opening morning, neither of us had been to sleep. Yay Laura Mericer makeup!

But, we did it!

Yeah, even the boss lady has to do silly things. Like sneak into apartment complexes and hang flyers

It's taken a long time to get here, but, I am so thrilled to be part of this team, and can't wait to see what amazing things are in store for PB Arlington. Fingers crossed, y'all!

ps. Arlington friends, come on by, ask for meeeee and let's lift.tone.burn together!
