One of the questions I always get asked is exactly what is a
Lifestylist, and what is unique about the Lifestylist Lifestyle. The second most asked question is what makes me a
Trailer Diva!
The
Lifestylist philosophy is that "It's all about You" - the clients life
and style is what dictates how a Lifestylist works with you. My favorite
example is I had a client in Phoenix, Arizona that was a major Phoenix
Suns fan, and their team colors are orange and purple. The client wanted
their entire home done in these colors. What they wanted is what they
got, complete with a child's room with a hardwood floor striped like a
basketball court.
I
just spoke to a friend who's dog had just dug up her entire garden and
her daughter slammed the door on the neighbor's hand - all in about 30
minutes time. Her needs and lifestyle are completely different from my
Son - no kids, no dogs, and lives in front of his computer. What my
style is wouldn't work well for either of them which is why I need to
understand the client and what their "hot buttons" are. It's takes extra
time and sleuthing to achieve this - many times the client has trouble
putting into words exactly what they are looking for but they know it
when they see it. I take the responsibility very seriously - a person's
environment can truly change their lives in a positive or negative way.
If someone is happy in their home their quality of life improves.
Next
to being a mother, becoming a Lifestylist is one of the most rewarding
things I've ever done. I'm looking forward to expanding the concept and
what it offers in the years to come.
