"As much as I love to shop, my favorite part of my job is when I see my clients light up and stand taller when they look and feel their best. This is the most rewarding thing for me. Nothing beats that! One of the misconceptions about my job is the association some people may be tempted to make between the terms 'image consultant/stylist' and 'materialistic shop-a-holic.' Materialism and shallowness is not what paNASH Style is about.
"paNASH Style is a Christian-based business. As the owner, I am also the Vice President of paNASH Style because God is the President and CEO. I consult Him in every decision I make regarding my business and my personal life. 1 Peter 3.3 says 'Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes.' This might sound like what I do in my business is in direct contradiction with this scripture. But, Jackie Kendall and Debby Jones (authors of Lady in Waiting) state:
'This verse does not advocate homliness as proof of godliness. Some women [and men] are under the misguided perception that to be holy, one must look homely. This is not true. Women [and men] should seek to look their best. This verse simply challenges you to not devote all your energies toward painting the outside, thus neglecting the enduring qualities that need developing on the inside.'
In working with clients, I believe in bringing their inner beauty and qualities to the surface. That inner attractiveness shines through when my clients feel confident about themselves."
