(New Video Post) How To Start A Self Love Journey #SelfLoveSaturday

January 18, 2014 by

Hey guys! Happy Self Love Saturday

This is a post for anyone who wants to start a Self Love Journey but you don’t know where to start! I have 3 very simple tips that can help get you on your way!


1. Love Letters: 

Keep a notepad by your bed and every morning when you wake up, write yourself a note! On this note declare the type of day you want to have and the way you want to feel about your self. Give yourself a little piece of advice to keep with you through the day. I find that writing it out is better than just speaking it into the universe because you are able to re-read this note through out your day.

2. Vision Board:

I absolutely LOVE vision boards! It’s a great way to create the life you want and have it as a daily reminder for what you want and what you’re working towards. If you haven’t done your vision board for 2014 yet, I strongly advise that you do. It serves as a great source of motivation.

3. Make a goal and give yourself a deadline: 

This year I plan to not only have goals for the whole year but I’m also giving myself smaller monthly goals, 30 days to complete or try something new that’ll help me to improve as a person. I recently found a very inspiring story from a young woman named Lakeisha who wanted to lose weight and gain self-esteem in 100 days and she did it! I loved the story so much and I did a little more research and I found the site Giveit100.com This site is encouraging people to take a 100 days to go after a dream, there’s nothing too big or too small! On this site, people are documenting their journey’s and giving themselves 100 days to improve. A really think setting small goals and giving your self a deadline to complete it is a great thing to do! It gives you something to work towards and look forward to and helps to make a great habit of setting and completing goals.

Hope this small tips help, I’ll keep giving advice as I continue in my own Self Love Journey and figure out what works best for me!

(New Video Post) VLOG: Jamaica!

January 6, 2014 by

Hey ya’ll!

Hope you guys had a great holiday and your staying warm as you can if you’re on the East Coast because the weather is terrible! Anywho my holiday has been fantastic because I’ve been in Jamaica! My mom is from Jamaica but it’s been a few years since I’ve been here and had a relaxing holiday, so I’m glad that I’m starting off my year this way! Being here makes me realize though I need to live on a beach or at least very close to one for majority of my year. I don’t mind fall and layering my clothes for that time of year but winter?! Nah son, I’m not about that life so apart of my 2014 goals is figuring out how to live the way that I want to! Anyway my trip has been great, super relaxing and just what I needed. I’ve done a lot of writing for “Black Actress” here and overall reflection of my goals and plans for the year and I’m doing my best to just “live”. Here’s a quick vlog of my trip and I’ll be back to my regularly scheduled program very soon!  xo

(New Video Post) “Applying Gratitude To Your Journey” #SelfLoveSaturday

December 21, 2013 by

Applying gratitude to my life has been the biggest help in my Self Love Journey. When you start to feel grateful for any and everything in your life, you start to appreciate your life more and you feel happier. Happiness is apart of self love and gratitude can help you to feel happy! Regularly forcing myself to remember how beautiful my life is and to feel grateful was the first thing I did to start my Self Love Journey and I truly encourage everyone to do that! Don’t focus on the negative, on what you don’t like or what you don’t have. Focus on the positive things in your life and about yourself and feel grateful for EVERYTHING! It works and it will help you to feel Self Love! 🙂 Have a great weekend! xo

(New Video Post) “Be Creative” – Weekly Memo

December 16, 2013 by

“Creativity is not a solitary movement. That is its power. Whatever is touched by it, whoever hears it, sees it, senses it, knows it, is fed. That is why beholding someone else’s creative word, image, idea fills us up, inspires us to our own creative work. A single creative act has the potential to feed the continent. One creative act can cause a torrent to break through stone. For this reason one’s creative ability is their most valuable asset, for it gives outwardly and inwardly at every level: psychic, spiritual, mental, emotive and economic.” – Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D.

This week I encourage you all to be as creative as you can in every part of your life! Your art, love, friends, family and hobbies. Our creativity is our most valuable asset and once you realize your purpose is clear and your inspiration is endless! Happy Monday!
