The Girl in Gucci Glasses

As crazy as social media can be, it can also be one of the most magical tools at our disposal. 

Through the powers of social media, I have made new friendships, started relationships, and even discovered rad businesses that I otherwise might not have.

So today I want to talk to you about my latest and greatest social media find:  Meg’s Modern Macrame.

I found Meg through Instagram, and you could literally feel her energy through her posts and messages.

As cliche as it sounds, I like to spend money with people that are just chasing their dreams and doing what feels good. And honestly, we became friends instantly. She is such a burst of fresh air.

Originally started as CuzMegsCreations, Megan Raleigh is a self-taught crafter who found a way to turn her passion into a business. 

When asked how Meg’s Modern Macrame came to fruition, Raleigh says:

I’ve always been a crafty girl and started getting into painting in college. During the pandemic I started crafting some items for myself and my friends that were of practical use for essential oils. Everyone started wanting them and my business took off! I started as CuzMegsCreations but narrowed down my niche to macrame when I started learning and mastering the skill! I am completely self taught and have been running with it for 2 years now! Almost at 34k followers on Instagram and hoping to continue to grow everyday!

If you are looking for a sign to chase your dreams – this is it. And if you’re just looking for something fun to get yourself, or for the friends in your life, try a handmade keychain or bookmark. Sure, you could go to a big box store and find something – but why not shop small, support a local crafter, and give a gift that’s actually unique?

And before I end this post, let me share some items I am loving from Meg’s shop.

Okay, I lied…before I go, how about an exclusive discount?!
