Today we’d like to introduce you to Natalie Terrasas
Hi Natalie, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Bianca and Natalie were best friends in high school and we have continued our friendship. Natalie moved to the coast with her children and husband. For over 20 years she worked as a financial advisor. Bianca opened her own brick-and-mortar shop but decided to close after years to spend more time with her children and open her own online boutique.
Bianca and Natalie enjoyed taking pictures for Bianca’s existing online boutique and felt God pressing both of their hearts to start a business venture together. Following God’s nudge, Bianca and Natalie found the working of their business fall into place. From dressing up in high school to opening their own business in October of 2023, their soul mission is to make every woman feel beautiful from the inside out.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
The initial leap of faith was daunting at first, to completely trust in God’s will meant Natalie had to give up the world of financial advising and dive into a new market of fashion. Bianca said she would never open a brick and mortar again as it is not an easy task, especially it today’s economy. But they both trust in the Lord. It’s sometimes scary at first to be on the other side of what God has for you, but once we made the leap it was all worth it.
We had not worked together since high school at the Contempo in the Fashion Fair Mall. Reuniting at the place we started was a full circle for us, who knew that God was preparing us when we were teenagers for this day!
Since opening the boutique we have met women with beautiful hearts and stories to share with the Central Valley. Throughout this time of being open, we have felt God press us to focus on the women of the Central Valley and cast our anxieties and care to him.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
We are really a boutique that wishes to show the love of God to the community of women in the Central Valley. We prioritize the connections with the women we meet and making friendships throughout the valley. We want to share life with others and they can share life with us.
Every time someone comes through our door or watches our lives via social media, we want them to feel welcome and always make them feel like a sister. We love to help women find their own fashion style.
We really try to make things affordable for women as everyone deserves to feel beautiful with what they wear and so we provide high-end quality as well as moderate pieces for our clients. We want women to be able to wear nice clothing without spending a lot.
We also do private sip-and-shop parties where we will close down the boutique, after hours, for birthdays or promote an ambassador of the boutique, we have partnered events with other small businesses or groups for a fun social event.
What do you like and dislike about the city?
We love how the community has been so supportive over the last 10 months of being opened. We have had so many women who are family, friends, those who have lived in the Valley for years, and others who have just moved to the Valley come in and shop at the boutique. Supporting our local business is so heart-filling as these beautiful ladies take the time to come in and share a part of their days with us.
