California Socialite: Phnewfula

This week we are featuring the who is who of California:

Phnewfula hails at West Hollywood, California. She is a successful boutique store owner, and definitely someone to have in your inner circle.

This Leo lioness has the following motto: "Yes, as a matter of fact, I can!"

She has the following in her music collection: Kanye West for motivation, Bjork or Portishead for creativity, and Fairfied Baptist Church Choir for thankfulness and reflection on my blessings.

Her hobbies: Eating, cooking, and anything involving a beach!

Where you most likely find her, when she is not jet-setting: Table 8 in Los Angeles, India House in Chicago, Taverna Opa in Miami, Busy Bee in atlanta, and Victors in NY!

On her bookshelf: Super Self by Charles J Givens

Her passion: Her passion is Foster Children. She does clothing drives for them several times a year and she also has them come see what she does in hopes that she is providing some sort of inspiration.

If she had one wish it'd be: "I wish I could solve the self esteem issues that plagues our youth, both male and female. It leads us to so much destructive behavior, forcing us to make very bad decisions."

Her strength: Her ability to dream, and believe. She believes her ultimate strength is her willingness to take chances. And her safety net is her faith in God. She believes that this allows her to push past any thoughts of failure and find a way to succeed.

What makes her an IT girl: Phnewfula had the choice to remain on a very secure well paying job, or risk it all and go after her dreams. She risked it all, and went after her dreams.

How she deals with her rivals: I pray that God gives me the strength to pray for them, if not I usually just ask him to help me ignore them!

Relationship status: Sorry guys! Phnewfula is off the market.

But even though she is off the market, she offered this advice to her peers:
"Being with a high profile man doesn't really matter. It's important to be with someone who understands and respects what you do. You may find that the man at the post office understands and is more supportive than the high profile exec that looks good on paper or in your social circles. We sometimes tend to be to concerned with how we "look" with our significant other instead of how well the relationship will work with this person. We don't realize that what actually looks good is having a healthy marriage and not getting divorced!"

Where you can find her shopping? Well of course you can find her shopping at the very store she owns -The Red Lemon Store.

Her personal style: Her personal style depends on her mood. She loves dresses with chucks and mini skirts with high platform heels.

Social Status: If you haven't already guessed, this Californian socialite is considered an IT Girl that everyone gravitates towards.

Must haves for her purse: C.O. Bigelow lip balm in cinnamon or peppermint* Bath & Bodyworks hand sanitizer* Wallet containing business cards/atm card/$20* Neutrogena hand cream* Camera*

Organizations that she is in: Board of Advisors, its an organization of women who take turns giving to make sure the other can succeed. I'm proud to be apart of this organization because it's selfless and you really have to become family for it to work.

You can check her out at her wonderful boutique that stars frequent.
