Hello my lovely Ladies of Hive Community, how is everyone doing today? I hope all are doing great and keep the empowering spirit burning.
What is the story behind my Hive username? callmelula
Back on 2016 I love to try out new adventure by not having a permanent job I was able to go where ever I want and whenever I want but I was also a shy girl that have insecure issue with my body and myself, the one that making you to have second on yourself. I’m sure at some point of our life everyone felt that. One fine day, my cousin Lisa, She was very close to me since we were kids, she came across an ads for a local pageant and sign me up to it before even asking me if I wanted to join or not. So since I like to try on new things I didn’t even question her decision and I end up participating on my very first pageant on my district just to try out what it feels like little did it know that was the start of something great.

By joining the pageant I got a confident boost also I realize that beauty comes in all shape and size and I started to feel more appreciated on my own body. I also got to meet a lot of new friends and on of them end up taking me to some try out photoshoots where I meet ,
and
.
They were the ones suddenly started calling me Lula. I made a facebook page “Theycallme Lula” where I post my entire photoshoots that they had taken. After that they also ask me to take make up class to improve my make up skill since we were all just newbie back then and we want to cut make up cost, we don’t really have enough budget to do the things we love cause we love to have a random photoshoots on various place and by me knowing how to do my own make up it’s easier for us to go anyway we want.
By joining the makeup class I got offer to join an entrepreneur program where I learn a lot about business. And when making a business licence suggested on putting my page name on the licence, which I did end up doing so and also open up a Business Bank Account as “Theycallme Lula”.
When the pandemic happen and we were ask to stay at home, being an outdoor person made me lost my outgoing mood. I push myself to a bad position I had ever been in my life. And again and
push me back and remind me what I can do and here I am making hive blog. Making me realize I love sharing my life stories.
Here's some of the photoshoot I had with the 3 of them all photo credit are to them.
That is why this name means a lot to me. “Lula” this name has taken me to something that I couldn’t imagine I would end up doing in my life. Thank you all for your time on reading my post. Until next time. Stay safe and take care always. Much Love.
