The Dare Dreamer Movement: Dreamers Who Inspire You To Keep Going, Be Healthy and Express Yourself Fashionably
Here are some inspiring Dare Dreamers I posted about on my site DreamerENT.com to inspire you to dream boldly and share what you love with the world. I love their creativity and passion for what they do!
Artist Who Inspires Spotlight & Music Pick: “Don’t Give Up” From Brenna Maples
I “met” Brenna Maples virtually through a program we’re both in, The Music Industry Blueprint (I highly recommend the program for anyone who has a dream of finder their artist as a singer!) I’ve featured her as an “Artist Who Inspires” and her song “Don’t Give Up” because of it’s inspiring message for anyone following their dreams. Here’s what Brenna told me about the song:
This is a song for everyone who has gone through or is going through a hard time in life. No matter what, don’t give up.
“Don’t Give Up” is a song I wrote about my grandpa’s life events. He is still living and survived all of that! I also wrote it to encourage my sister to not give up through her battle of cancer. She has been cancer free for over a year, but she is still looking for a donor for a kidney transplant. I told her to not give up and to stay strong! This song is also for everyone that is going through a hard time. I want the song to encourage them to stay strong through whatever life brings and to not give up!
“You never know until you try, you’ve got to pick yourself up and don’t give up…” – Brenna Maples

Fresh, Fit and Fearless: The Life of a Healthy College Student
I’m so inspired by Lila of Fresh, Fit and Fearless who posts her healthy meals on Instagram and on her blog.
She’s an 18-year old college student who shows us that eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring or bland. Her fruit and nutrition-filled meals are always colorful and look amazing with photography that’s top notch. Not only am I inspired to eat better but Lila’s passion, dedication, creativity and consistency are great qualities for someone who is following her dreams – no wonder her following on Instagram keeps growing!
You can follow Lila on Instagram as @FreshFitandFearless and on www.freshfitandfearless.com. Be sure to check out the recipes featured, they look delish!
Frozen Fashion: Olaf the Snowman Inspired Style by Charis of Charisma Star
Olaf is definitely my favorite character from Frozen, and Charis Lincoln is one of my very favorites on Youtube so I loved seeing her Olaf-inspired fashion shoot, it’s too cute!
Check out more of Charis’ Disney and movie inspired looks at her channel: Charisma Star
I love everything Disney and Charis always shares imaginative and creative make-up and fashion. Here are some more of her looks:
Below is the very first video I’ve watched from Charis, her love story and how she gave the pen of her story to be written by the greatest Author of all…you will be inspired (and maybe cry if you’re sensitive like me;)
Inspire Little Dreamers and the Kid in You
Want to inspire the little Dreamers in your life to Dream BIG and nurture the dreams of the younger you? If you do, stay tuned to Dreamfleur for a special project and motivation series I’m launching to inspire and nourish your sweet dreams…
One of my dreams is to encourage young people to be entrepreneurs and Dreamers through my project DreamerENT.com, motivating them to start tapping into their purpose (focusing on who they are meant to be) right where they are. I also have a passion for inspiring YOU to reconnect with yourself when you were a kid – remember when you dared to dream freely? It’s time to reclaim that boundless childlike wonder and creativity and revive those sleeping dreams!
I’ve been a Dreamer and entrepreneur ever since I was a little girl sharing my artwork with friends and family (that’s me in the framed picture above). I recently realized that I started my current business Envibrance Dream Studios 10 years ago when I was a teen through the support of a wonderful organization that I am very grateful for, Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE). Wow, time has flown by!
To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Envibrance, over 20 years as an entrepreneur and my birthday this month I’ll be launching some new sweet dreams both for young Dreamers you know and the young Dreamer in you!
Stay tuned here and keep daring to live those dreams in your heart – they’ll make the world a sweeter place! While you’re at it, today eat a cupcake or two (preferably the healthy and organic kind;), they’ll make your day a bit sweeter too. Sweet Dreams, Dreamer – Julene @dreamfleur

Art to Inspiration: Floral Fashion Alice in Wonderland-Styled Edition
Have you ever looked at a work of art that sparked your imagination and creativity? It might be the merging of colors, the textures, the eccentric imagery or just the statement it makes in simplicity – inspiration is everywhere and whatever makes you stop and look twice can be inspiration that you infuse into your own art & life.
Art to Inspiration is a collaborative blog series started by Supal of Chevrons and Eclairs. Every month she sends out a work of art that serves as a creative spark and asks others to respond with their interpretation of the piece, whether through a fashion collage, quote or an original work. You can join in on the fun by signing up here.
November’s art is entitled “The Other Side” and is by an artist named Linda Monfort. You can find more of her work which she describes as “Modern abstract expressionism” at: http://www.etsy.com/shop/lindamonfort
I love the freedom of the floral painting and the merging of bright and soft colors that make it feel dreamy, romantic and feminine. Here’s my fashionable interpretation of this painting (pictured at the top of the post)…
1. The painting reminded me of this floral “Calooh! Callay!” dress I had seen (and stared longingly at;) at Shabby Apple from their Mad Hatter Collection inspired by Alice in Wonderland. I love the shades of periwinkle and violet that create movement much like the painting…. Continue Reading »
Stand Out At Your Wedding with Hand-Painted TOMS Shoes & Wedges from Soled By Melissa
As you may know I design customized wedding invitations and other stationery and gifts for special events, and I love everything having to do with weddings, decor and event planning. I’m also a lover of the vision and passion behind TOMS , and was excited to come across the custom hand-painted work of ‘Soled By Melissa’ created by entrepreneur Melissa Hendricks. She has done hundreds of personalized designs that combine intricately detailed patterns, bright colors and the clients preferences, from designs that match party schemes to sports teams.
I especially loved the pair of TOMS wedges (pictured at the top of this post) she recently painted to match one couple’s design and color scheme. It looks beautiful and whimsical all at once, and give a unique touch.
To find out how you can order a custom pair of TOMS visit Melissa at http://www.facebook.com/soled.bymelissa.
(Speaking of TOMS, this is the pair I aim to get next, I wonder if Melissa can do a little custom work for me:).
