Last night, I had the incredible honor of being inducted into the Midpark High School Hall of Fame.

In many ways, I don’t feel as though I deserve this recognition yet it’s the same people who believe I do that have helped shaped me into the wife, mother, broadcaster, small business owner and mentor that I am today.

This by far is one of the greatest honors I’ve ever received.

This right here. THIS is what being BLEU CHIC is all about. It's about being comfortable with who YOU are in the inside. It's about breaking stereotypes and coloring outside the lines.

This week, we celebrated my son Roman's 8th birthday. This little guy has a heart of gold, sick moves on the court (those are his words) and is quite the charmer. He also loves shoes and “cool” clothes which is kinda fun when you own a store but have only sons!

Here at Bleu Chic Boutique, we're all about helping you find the trendiest, most fabulous items to give as gifts or to treat yourself to. That's why we compiled this list of small businesses in and around the Northeast Ohio area that are sure to make Valentine's Day the sweetest it can be for you, your besties or for that special someone.

The small business owners below are just some of our personal favorites and we're really excited to be able to share the Bleu Chic love.

 
Have fun taking a look at the list and be sure to let us know your favorites or who we should include next time!

Stay Bleu Chic!

My husband and I took our two boys to see Imagine Dragons this past weekend at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio and I'm so glad we did! Between  the music, family time, and those abs, it was something I'll never forget.
