We are sort of crushing hard on all things tattoo-related lately. From tiny designs to friendship tats and some gorg geometric ink, we are getting totally ink-spired! The latest inkspiration? Galaxy tats. That’s right, all things outer space-ish, planetary and stellar are catching our eyes these days. The tattoos below are out-of-this-world incredible with their planetary designs, watercolor and rad nebula hues. And if you are looking for some minimalist, moon-inspired tats, we’ve got you covered there too. Scroll on down for this all-star lineup.
1. Starry Unicorns: Unicorns in space? Yes, please. (via Andres Guevara)
2. Deep Purple Galaxy ($3): For all you commitment-phobes, this temporary tattoo is the perfect mix of geometric and galactic.
3. Crescent Moon: Tiny crescent moon and galaxy print? Our tiny tattoo-lovin’ hearts are aflutter. (via @saulcruzjr)
4. Galaxy in a Box: We wouldn’t expect anything less than an upbeat statement from Miley Cyrus’s favorite tattoo artist, the very talented Lauren Winzer. While we love the blue-purpleish colors, we think any color scheme would look fab. (via @laurenwinzer)
5. Sun + Moon: Sometimes a simple sun and moon are all you need to keep yourself balanced. We also think this would make a great friendship tat. (via @littletattoolove)

7. Watercolor Nebule: This watercolor nebulae is like something out of a sci-fi flick. We heart it so much, we want it on our walls too. (via Jf Biron)

10. Tiny Constellation: For a more minimalist constellation tattoo, opt for small dots and tiny stars. This would also look great on the nape of the neck or your forearm. (via Miso Stanislava Pinchuk)
11. Moon Phases: Lunar lovers, this one’s for you! With three moon phases and whole lot of cool shading, this tat is totally out of this world. (via Robmy Dobrze)
12. Triangular Space: We love triangles and stars, so this tat is definitely on the top of our list. (via @katietattoos)
13. Full Moon Cycle: Not sure which cycle the moon is in? Keep this handy-dandy guide on your forearm to always be in the know. (via @nandotattooer)

It can be intimidating to step out on your own and build a business from the ground up. As part of our collaboration with Office Depot, we're talking with Selfmade alum and solopreneur Colette Lawrence, the faith-based motivator and relationship builder behind The M.E.E. Movement, about ways in which women in business can find success.
B + C: How did you know M.E.E. Movement was your business to start?
The M.E.E Movement represents motivation, empowerment, and encouragement for women. It is what represents me. I did not know at first that it was my business to start, but then the thought of monetizing what I loved came to me. It scared me, however. I registered the business in July 2020 and have been slowly building my wings since.
B + C: What's one strategy that's helped you start your business?
Thinking through and researching what the requirements are to start my business, and then asking questions of people who are in the business. Not all advice worked; however, it helped me to figure out what I needed to do and not to do.
B + C: Did you always know life coaching would be your entrepreneurial path?
(Smiles) No, I did not. I 'stumbled" on it. I knew that people were always coming to me for advice and I found that I loved having conversations with them, especially with women, young and old.
B + C: What was your most valuable takeaway from Selfmade?
My most valuable takeaway was the first day of training: Get out of your own way. There were a lot of great moments and important takeaways from every presenter. However, getting out of my own way, pushing past doubts, was for me my most valuable takeaway. Doing something that I had never done before took courage. If I do not focus on what is happening with me mentally then I cannot deliver to my clients successfully.
B + C: What's one piece of advice you would give to female entrepreneurs on the brink of starting?
Get out of your head. You have something to offer. You have what you need to succeed so go ahead and do it.
B + C: How do you stay motivated?
I stay motivated by listening to music and listening to motivational speakers, and sometimes someone will just reach out and talk about the impact that I made in their life. That adds the extra juice or sauce I need to pummel through the day.
B + C: What's your best organizational tip?
Keep a diary and journal. It's the best way for me to keep organized and it also provides a source motivation as I record not only my "losses" but my wins as well.
B + C: Who inspires you in the entrepreneurial space?
Shirley Toliver – She motivates and empowers and makes me always want to show up.
B + C: What has receiving the Office Depot scholarship to Selfmade done to help you start or grow your business?
The scholarship was a blessing in that all the areas that were covered offered valuable information that I needed, from social media to HR. As a new business owner, I needed to know this to increase my own personal awareness in what it takes to run a successful business. The candidness of the presenters made it easy to see myself in their shoes and helped me to realize that I can also get there.
