Meet Celisse.

For my fourth post of “Meet _____.” series, I will introduce you all to Celisse Villagrana. I met Celisse in college, when we both used to work for Minero Magazine and fortunately both ended up working for SandersWingo, our full time employer. Throughout that time, Celisse has been my cubicle neighbor, where we enjoy sending eachother hilarious youtube videos & inspiring sites daily. She is a beautiful soul, who also happens to be effortlessly photogenic. If you meet Celisse, you will notice the peace & love that surrounds her. She will gladly share her Mate Tea and never let you beat her at foosball. Watch out, she’s highly competetive. 🙂

Be inspired & Enjoy!

Last favorite movie you watched, and why?

I don’t know how to pick a favorite movie … if I’m engaged and there are emotions involved, they hold a special place in my heart.

I recently watched Obvious Child and I loved it. I laughed so much, plus I found a new way of describing my bed. Also, Birdman! The film is imaginative, has great dialogue, beautiful takes AND Michael Keaton, what more can you ask for??

Advice to 18 year old you?

You are beautiful, unique and need not to be apologetic of who you are. Be understanding and non-judgmental with yourself.
