At The Posh Shop Co, we are devoted to the ideals of Babes Supporting Babes. We thought what better way to share our love for empowering women than to put those women in the spotlight. Enter: Babe Watch! Babe Watch is our new weekly installment of ladies who are doing the damn thing...standing out, making businesses, helping people...just being all around amazing women.

We are starting out this series on such a fun note...At The Posh Shop Co, we recently had a vision for a collection of Mother's Day Mugs. We kept working on the art for the mugs but nothing was turning out just as we had planned. After many attempts, I had the mantra of business mentors of the past in my head - outsourcing is not a weakness, it is resourceful - so I thought about the current women's business mentorship group I am in and who could help make my visions a reality and it jumped out at me: UnSalted Mermaid! I knew she did these cool modern drawings with awesome color tones and her style aligned so much with The Posh Shop Co brand as well. I reached out to find out that outsourcing her drawings was something she was actually in the midst of thinking about offering. See how that works, y'all...I needed help, I asked a talented person who was capable and in the end can now help her launch an amazing new service to the world...win win, I'd say!
