Miss Rizos

My very first CADŌ cut and it was at my fav with the one and only Samanda!

I loved my experience and I am OBSESSED with my cut! Although I am trying to get my hair to grow long and big, I needed to cut that colita off!

Thank you Samy for always taking such great care of me 🥲. Beyond proud of you! Check her out!

¡Féliz día de las madres dominicanas 🇩🇴 de quien me hizo madre!

No es para mi, es para una amiga.

Yo amo los masajes, los perfumes, y hasta las cosas de cocina, pero… La carga mental que cargan las mamis es fuerte. Y aunque yo me siento tan increíblemente bendecida y afortunada de tener un papi muy involucrado, a veces no quiero tomar una decisión más 😩

Aquí 5 ideas, mándaselo a quien lo necesite.

1. Pregúntale a una amiga, así de sencillo.
2. Déjale la casa sola para que vea la temporada entera de una serie en Netflix o dure 4 horas ininterrumpidas en el baño .
3. Repara, repón, y reemplaza lo que sea necesario en la casa.
4. Ocúpate de su lista de pendientes por una semana completa, específicamente con cosas que ocupen su mente.
5. Regálale money con otra cosita que le guste.

A few days ago I shared one of the most vulnerable posts in my almost 15 years online and saying thank you falls short of how I feel. It was 6 minutes long and Instagram basically told me no one would watch it, but YOU SAW ME 😭

For the past 3 years, I’ve been showing up, but not fully. It’s hard to explain what it feels like to keep going while feeling like you’re not yourself. And for this to happen in the background of my motherhood, something that’s soooo important to me, I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.

There were moments where my personal brand was doing well, while my business was struggling. That contrast was hard, but I’m grateful I made solid personal financial decisions because they truly helped carry me through.

My influencer career did ultimately take a hit, I went from 8 contracts, to 1, to 0. I love doing this work and I plan on really showing up on here again and getting back to reigniting this part of me. Sharing, inspiring, and working again.

I want to also make clear that I wasn’t alone. My partner, family, and friends held me down in every way from packing orders, wiping tears, helping with my baby and more. I don’t know where I’d be without them.

Now what’s next is not super clear to me yet, but I do know that the road doesn’t just end here. I need to fully close this chapter so that I can think of how to move forward.

If you’d like to support me further, please visit shop.missrizos.com and grab one of our products. It’s the last time you’ll see them with this name.

I am so grateful you’re here.

P. S. I love doing my makeup, although I am not an expert, I love how it comes out! I hope you trusted the process when you saw me applying that bronzer 😝!

P.P.S. Know that I’ve been working around the clock in the DR salon and if you’re ever in Santo Domingo 🇩🇴, don’t forget to come pay us a visit!

I’ve been holding this one in for almost 4 years! It’s crippled me and it’s made me feel so much shame.

This was hard to share, but also freeing. While I hope it gives you context to why things are the way the are and perhaps gives you an answer to the questions you’ve had, I am doing this for me too. To finally step into myself and stop letting this define me.

As I near my 40th birthday (I feel like I am saying this a lot), I am becoming more courageous and more aware of my time here and I no longer care to be known as the woman who didn’t have success with her company. I want to be known as the woman who failed, got up and continued to live in her truth and in her purpose. I want my legacy to be that I tried and that I stood for something that was bigger than me and that I also knew how to move on and start again.

Today I look at that old Carolina and I want to hug her so tight and let her know that we are still standing and building and changing the world. I want to tell her that I’m so proud of her and while this still stings, it doesn’t hurt the same. She’s stronger, she’s braver and she knows so much more now.

I didn’t think I would cry in this video because I’ve cried so much that I thought I didn’t have anymore tears left. I am not apologizing for the delivery, the length or how long it took me to do this.

Grateful to God who has sustained me, but so have a lot of you. Your love, you support your words of encouragement and especially your testimonies of how I’ve impacted your life. I am sharing all of this because Miss Rizos is as much yours as it is mine.

I did forget to mention that DR salon will remain with its original name, Miss Rizos. I also want to say thank you to all of my friends who held me through this really hard time. I’m eternally grateful for you.

I hope this message finds someone who needs to be reminded that failures don’t define who you are, no matter how terrible and heartbreaking they may feel. I hope that like me, you’ll walk with your head high and with the great feeling of having gone after your dreams even if it didn’t work out.
