(New Video Post) What I forgot About #SelfLove

Hey guys, Happy Self Love Saturday!!

Today’s video is a reminder about the maintenance of #SelfLove. I often meet people who think starting a “self love journey” means now life is perfect and your confidence is perfect and everything should just come together in a nice little bow. But in my experience that’s definitely not the case! The point of Self Love is awareness, acceptance and improvement. Maintaining that cycle is all that matters and understanding that in order to keep your self esteem up, and your self confidence then you have to constantly be doing the little work. This video is a reminder of some of the steps that I forgot to maintain my own self love.

Happy Self Love Saturday!!!

I did it! Woop! Woop! Completed the 21 Day Detox and look and feel great! Like seriously, so much more energy, focus and positivity was brought into my life over the last 21 days. My next challenge is a 5 day raw challenge, I’ll only be eating raw vegetables and fruits and nuts, seeds, juices and smoothies. Writing it out, it sounds pretty extreme lol but it’s only for 5 days and I really want to cleanse my system in every way possible so I’m excited for the challenge. For those of you who are doing the 21 day challenge with me, keep going! And if you’re thinking about starting it, I strongly encourage you to! You can find all the rules HERE

(New Video Post) #21DayDetox Days 4-6

Hey guys!

I’m officially on Day 7 of the 21 Day Detox, you’ll see a recap of my day in tomorrow’s #SelfLoveSaturday video but for now catch up on Days 4-6 with me. So far the challenge is going well, I’m still craving donuts, cupcakes and cookies but I’m keeping strong and not having them. I’m also recognizing how often my brain/body trys to sabotage me by telling me “it’s okay to cheat…just have one” etc etc. The mantra “don’t cheat yourself” keeps going around in my head like a loop and it’s working! If you’re doing the 21 day detox let me know how you’re doing in the comments below.

Hey guys!

Happy Hump Day! I want to share with you guys a quick peak into a few weeks of my recent grind. I’ve been auditioning a lot lately which is a blessing and working very hard on Black Actress Season 2 and I was also invited by the Soy Foundation (Save Our Youth) in Cayman Island to speak to the students at John Gray High school, Clifton Hunter High School, CIFEC After School Program and The Francis Bodden Girls Home. I brought my best friend Melisa with me and we had an amazing time! Big Shout out to Iris and George who showed me a very gracious time on the island and I was truly grateful for the experience. I tried to film as much as I could and give you guys a little peak into the beauty of the people and island, check out my vlog below and look out for more updates on my Artist Grind!

(New Video Post) #100HappyDays #Day50 Half Way Done! [VLOG]

gratitude-happiness_large

Here we go! I’ve finally hit my 50 day half way mark in my 100 Happy Days Journey, Woop! So far this journey has been fantastic, it’s been very eye opening and at times challenging because I’ve had a few days where I wasn’t so happy and if it wasn’t for the challenge I probably would have sulked for a little longer than I should LOL.

What I’m learning on this challenge is control. I’m realizing on a daily basis that I have complete control over my life and my own happiness. I’m also incredibly open to how grateful I am for my life and day to day experiences and this constant gratitude keeps me happy! True happiness lies in having gratitude for everything, even the bad things because whether you realize it or not you’re learning and growing from those experiences and they are necessary. Check out my vlog below on some of the things that have made me happy over the last 50 days, and if you haven’t started I encourage you to do so, it’s great exercise for the soul.

(New Video Post) LA Vlog – Lunch Meetings [Artist Grind]

Hey guys!

As you may know I was apart of 2 awesome events recently and did a little bit of traveling to LA & Toronto for them and I decided to Vlog a bit of my journey!

photo-1

I was in LA hosting a panel for The Black Entertainment & Sports Lawyers Association on Black Actresses and the panel featured Naturi Naughton, Essence Atkins and Numa Perrier and it was a truly amazing experience! I’ve been apart of a few panels  but I don’t always come out of them feeling like I learned something new but with this one, I learned a lot. The audience was full of lawyers, managers, agents, and publicist and we all were able to learn something from each other to go further in the entertainment business, as I said it was a really great experience! While being in LA I did a lot of lunch meetings, it was one of those trips were I did a lot of brainstorming and connecting with people to talk about strategy and collaborating with one another. I also got a chance to hang out with my friends and have some much needed fun! Then I went to Toronto and I was the featured guest at “The Creative Networking Class: BossHood Edition”. I got a chance to share my story and connect with a lot of my followers in Toronto, Montreal and even some from London England! It was a lot of fun, and I was really glad to be apart of it and my mom and brother got to come with me and ain’t nothing better then a fam jam! Check out the video below of my recent adventures, hope you’re all doing well!

(New Video Post) VLOG: Jamaica!

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
