The Reason For gabby's Flower Shop
As a counsellor, and an Aboriginal woman in this world, I know how important self-care is. And having a self-care ritual is equally as important. Flowers for me have always been about self-care, treating myself occasionally with something that feels so special and pretty. I wanted flowers to be that for other women too. So, I've created Gabby's Flower Shop as a combination of all my passions, self care, creativity and pretty little flowers. Flowers for you, to treat yourself (or someone you love, but mostly for you <3).
About Gabby
Hi hi, welcome to my shop! I hope you stay for a while, read some things, join our community and leave feeling a little less guilty for doing something for yourself. As women, it seems we are taught it's almost a crime to do something for yourself... and then some of us are mums too! Here's a little bit about me. I am a 22-year-old student studying a Diploma of Counselling! It's a huge deal for me as with covid and my mental health at the time, I didn't get to graduate from Highschool. I've been running small businesses since I was 13, my first being scrunchies, then lip gloss, then selling art and making Aboriginal Education Resources. I'll be getting my first big girl job soon, out in the scary wide world. I am definitely a homebody, and love curling up with a book, playing Minecraft or doomscrolling. Here's some facts about me:
FAV FLOWERS —
Pansy’s, Lisianthus, Colourful Orchids & Lilys
WHY FLOWERS —
Having flowers has always felt like self-care, they let me express myself (similar to art) and they just are so beautiful. They make my inner child so happy!! Like I'm a pretty little fairy hehe.
3 FACTS —
1. My cat and dog are best friends
2. I am currently studying to be a Counsellor
3. I’m Aboriginal and expressing my identity is very important to me!
[-o-]
FAV TV SHOW —
Gilmore girls!! I’ve watched it 13+ times at this point and was inspired by the show to start this florist shop (if you know, you know). I’m such a Lorelai.
RED FLAG —
If you look at me with a blank face one time, I might spiral inside thinking you hate me. Jokes, but deep inside I do care a lot about what others think and sometimes I can overthink a blank stare oops.
FAV BOOK ATM
I am currently reading the "She's On The Money" book for the second time. I listened on Spotify last time, sooo I feel like it doesn't count.
There is so much I have planned for this space so stay tuned. I am so excited to build a beautiful community with you!
