STAY IN THE KNOW
Roxanne was a lifelong resident of New Orleans Louisiana before moving to the beautiful Mississippi gulf coast in 2020. She started her professional career as a nurse at University hospital and after 10 years and Hurricane Katrina, she hung up her stethoscope to pursue photography. Starting in pet photography, she switched gears to 2 legged humans and owned and operated a successful newborn/baby retail photography studio for almost 10 years. In 2018, after major life changes, she retired from photography and bought her hometown coffee shop.... PJ's Coffee of New Orleans located in Belle Chasse, LA. After moving to the coast (just 2 blocks from one of her favorite things ever... the beach!) she saw a need for a community pet boutique in the touristy section of the cutest and most charming small town of Bay St.Louis. So in June of 2021, she built and opened her dream ....Cafe BoneJour Pet boutique. She travels back to the New Orleans area to check on PJ's about once a week (she has an amazing staff there!!) and can be found most days working alongside of her staff at Cafe BoneJour. She also has a YouTube channel (SimplyRox) that she started around 2015 as a hobby... sharing things she loves with the main focus being at home grooming with her dogs.
In March of 2024, after having a life changing (no she is not being dramatic lol) color and style analysis session with a House of Colour image consultant, she knew that this business would be so "her"! She loves color, fashion, style and makeup and most importantly she loves building women up and instilling confidence within them. She immediately researched the UK based franchise and knew this was another perfect business opportunity. She bought the franchise House of Colour Mississippi Gulf Coast West and went through intense training to become certified in color analysis and style analysis. Her studio is located in Gulfport Mississippi and she is excited to bring bespoke color and style analysis services to the Mississippi Gulf Coast and surrounding cities.
A entrepreneur at heart, besides her 3 brick and mortar businesses, PJs Coffee, Cafe BoneJour and House of Colour Mississippi Gulf Coast West, she is also a consultant with Touchstone Crystal by Swarovski. She is still LOVING life on the coast and shares her home with her boyfriend and their 5 dogs and 3 bunnies! It's a very busy, but fun and rewarding life!
