My name is Uylanda, and Iโ€™m the Owner of ๐”๐ฒ๐ฅ๐ž๐žโ€™๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ข๐ช๐ฎ๐ž. Iโ€™m the mother of three adult sons, sister of seven siblings, grandmother of three beauties, and wife of a wonderful man that I still have a crush on. Uylee is a name given to me by my husband during our dating years. When looking for a name for the shop, he jokingly called it โ€œUyleeโ€™s Boutiqueโ€, and it stuck.



In 2014, there was a change in my clothing size after losing 90 pounds, and I needed to clean out my closet because there was nothing I could fit. I knew nothing about selling clothing during this time. However, I used PoshMark.com and cleared everything out. I was shocked at how fast things sold, and how simple it was! PoshMark.com taught me everything I needed to know about selling clothes at the time. They taught me about pricing, packing, shipping, everything. To this day, I still have a PoshMark account that I sell from. I enjoyed it so much, I decided to take it to the next level. Hence, on January 2015, ๐”๐ฒ๐ฅ๐ž๐žโ€™๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ข๐ช๐ฎ๐ž was born!ย 



I was a full-time Minister, working my Corporate job, and just running the Boutique as a hobby. Then in 2017, my health took a drastic turn again for the worse. I was forced to medically retire and leave my job. Because Iโ€™ve worked since I was 14, not having a job was mentally difficult for me. So I turned my attention to my Shop, and made it a part-time job for myself.

Eventually, we made the decision to also add a section for hair products. This included wigs, lace wigs, human hair wigs, extensions, closures, and more!



My disablity is still there, however Iโ€™m still able to enjoy my love of the Full-Time Ministry, enjoy my Shop, and care for my changing health. My husband (my Ministry Partner) is an amazing asset! Heย handles all the shipping for me and makes all the post office runs and PO Box pick ups on his way to and from his secular job. My German Shepherd, Dexter, brings all inventory boxes into the house from outside. Iโ€™d say I have a pretty good team.ย  I appreciate them. My health does continue to go up and down. However, Iโ€™m still able to continueย my part-timeย work and feel like a productive member of Society, while doing something I truly enjoy at a pace I can handle.

Iโ€™ve learned so much about the small business industry over these pastย nine years through experience and courses. I had never studied business in school, so there were many classes I needed to take, and much I needed to learn.ย  I had to learn about licenses, trademarks, permits, and so much more. I also had to learn about business taxes, which was new to me, and so many other items that we take for granted when we don't run a business. I try hard to assist my peers withย my experiences. I want to pass on that knowledge so that they donโ€™t need to make the same mistakes Iโ€™ve made. Many wonder why would I assist my own competition. I donโ€™t see it as assisting my competitors. With me, itโ€™sย cooperation over competition.ย There are enough people on the planet for all of us to share. We need to support and build up one another. Thatโ€™s how we will all succeed. I truly believe in that, and I will continue to take in knowledge, and I will continue to share that knowledge with those brand new in this business. We all need a helping hand getting started. We all need support in the beginning, and I will continue to provide that to my peers. I would have loved that in my early days!

Though I have had offers to build our brand and make it a larger business, I've turned down those opportunities and will continue to do so. My love is in my ministry, and I don't want anything to replace my time dedicated to my volunteer work.ย  My shop is a hobby that I enjoy, however my love is my Ministry, while caring for my health needs.
