Unleashing the Beautiful Beast
Who am I?
“Honestly, I haven’t decided yet.” – Reese, Person of Interest
Who am I; the ultimate question. This blog is intended to be my creative outlet as I explore new and exciting adventures in my life. Between work and school, my brain tends to feel overwhelmed. This is my public diary to help me make peace with my past and become a part of a community of powerful women. It’s a way for me to organize my chaos, so bear with me.
Why did I name my blog Beau Emprise Babe (BEB)? For starters, I took French for 3 years in High School and plan on continuing through college. I am passionate about French culture; it’s fascinating to me. BEAU is French for Beautiful. As a young girl, I struggled with issues concerning my weight and with feelings of worthlessness. The idea behind BEAU is that all women who come to my blog will feel powerful and beautiful – because they are. EMPRISE means adventurous and daring. According to Merriam-Webster, the word emprise descends from the word ‘emprendre’ which means ‘to undertake’. This blog, along with my new business, is a huge undertaking for me! Besides, emprise sounds similar to entrepreneur = bossbabe. We have all heard of the infamous bossbabe. This term refers to a powerful and passionate woman dedicated to her career, but I needed my own version. So, there you have it: Beau Emprise Babe.
I’ve come a long way over the last few years. I’ve felt the pain of sadness, experienced loss, and been tossed around by fake friends. I’ve also experienced the most amazing things – real love, true friendship, and the beginning of understanding into the woman I’m becoming. Of course, I’m depending on my readers to have the same type of experiences at some time or another! I’ll be documenting my hobbies, passions, ideas, recipes, travels and so much more. So, enjoy!
