Another reminder! Only two weeks left. ✨

Having a mastery of the English language to influence others effectively is such a powerhouse skill. I’m actually excited about prioritizing my own professional development in this.

Outside of the Target Boycott, I still don’t think I could ever convince myself to spend money on Kate Spade trash bags.

Today I woke up alive to see my 36th year of life. I’m so grateful for all God has blessed me with in this life. I never want to take any of it for granted. I’m choosing to walk in an abundance of gratitude, peace and joy today 😊✨

My 36th birthday is Friday and I’m speaking it into existence that it’s going to be a fantastic day ☺️🥰

You can’t put a spoon in the microwave to make it easier to eat your ice cream. BUT! You can warm it up the air fryer to make it easier to eat your ice cream. Follow me for more personal and professional development tips and tricks ✨

I just want yall to know that progress has been made. I tried cluster lashes a second time and THIS time I didn’t get any glue on my eyeballs. They are not bloodshot red today 🙌🏾 Please clap for me 🥳

It’s official! I’m returning to my love for writing that I had as a kid/teenager. I tried to do a YouTube channel and as much as I do like video editing etc it doesn’t give the joy that I get from writing. Blue Sky has been ok, but I HATE the character limits.

As an already naturally full lipped African American woman, I can’t describe the shock and horror that I felt when I accidentally tried a lip plumper lip gloss for the first time 🥴 I definitely looked like a walking caricature.

My birthday is in two weeks, and I really don’t feel like trying to figure out how I’m going to celebrate. I’m grateful for a new year of life but I don’t feel like using the mental energy to plan something.

I really want to know how forks keep mysteriously disappearing from my house 🥴

Thinking about starting a Substack for all my tea and book reviews but I’m back and forth about it 🤔 do any of you have one and love it? If so, tell me about it or even if you hate it.

Tea Review # 25 Chai Tea N More’s Adaptivi-tea Back with another tea review and this time we’re exploring this tea that is advertised as a great go to for when you’re feeling under the weather. Let me tell you about this tea from this woman owned tea brand 👇🏾

The best part of working out at home is Gus trotting over to get some rubs, neck stretches and maybe even a toy for me to throw. He always walks away to give me space to do my next set but comes right back when he sees me resting 🥹 (and yes he desperately needs a haircut 😅)

Now at 79.5 hours out of 100 to be eligible to take my ACC exam. Book a time or share with someone who could use the coaching support ♥️

Loc sisters in corporate: What is a really nice hair style to do with your locs for your headshots? 👀 I have shoulder length microlocs and I want to do something really cute but professional that’s not just a bun.

Gus’ Tea Review # 24: Chai Tea N More Peppermint Black tea Well this is a special tea review that Gus felt compelled to share. Today we review Chai Tea N More Peppermint Black tea! This is from a woman owned tea company. Let me, or I guess, Gus, tell you about it 👇🏾

Marvin Sapp performs “Never Would Have Made It” for NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert: youtu.be/wVbZzgybaJ4?...

As much as I love facilitating professional development courses, my poor introverted brain is so dog tired at the end of it from being “ON”. 😅 But at least my participants enjoyed our Navigating Difficult Conversations course this morning so that’s all that matters 🥰

Tea Review # 23: The Republic of Tea’s Young Lady Danbury Topaz Citrus Tea I’m back! Thank you for your patience. 🥰 Life has been lifin yall!

Today has been so long that I feel too exhausted to even type up a tea review. I feel like I’ve been sprinting all day. Let’s chat about tea tomorrow folks ✌🏾 I’m definitely getting in the bed early tonight.

Tea Review # 22: The Brothers Apothecary’s Coconut Genmaicha Alas, I have found a tea from this CBD tea brand that is not quite for me. But it may be for you! Let me tell you about it 👇🏾

Good morning ☀️ I actually woke up ON TIME to do my morning work out and prayer time before going to the office. Please clap for me 🥹

I’m going to tell my future grand kids that back in my day of my late teen years, the only uber that existed was Uber Facts

I’m going to just hope Bey does a movie or Netflix special for the Cowboy Carter tour because my wallet hit my hand so hard when I tried to go to Ticketmaster 😩

Tea Review # 21: Chai Tea and More’s Amaretto By Morning Black Tea If you love almonds, this is going to definitely be the tea for you. You’re going to want to check out this woman owned brand. Let me tell you about it 👇🏾

If you can’t eat dairy, please do yourself a favor and get this ice cream. It is SO good. Breyers always had vanilla oat milk ice cream but now they’re doing cookies and cream and it’s HEAVENLY! 🙌🏾 whoever insisted on this being their next flavor, GIVE THEM A RAISE!

Tea Review # 20 Brooklyn Tea’s Relax Relate Release Ok gather round, especially my chamomile lovers. I got another tea here to help calm your nerves and is also a black owned tea company. Let me tell you about it 👇🏾

I’m going to open my DMs again but I sweatergawd if yall act up again, I’m closing it back down. I’m looking at you spammers, scammers, and solicitors 😒

I’m still screaming at this show! 😂😂😂😂

We will all remember where we were during the Kendrick Lamar Halftime Show.

THE LEVEL OF PETTY!!

Tea Review # 19: Lee’s Urban Apothecary’s Womb Care I discovered this tea at a Black Arts and Wine Festival. The owner is a woman that I knew from my college days and of course I had to support. This tea is one of my favorites and it’s a black owned / woman owned company. Let me tell you about it 👇🏾

This week has been trash. I’m so ready to throw the whole week away 🗑️

Why did I think my retie appointment was Sunday at 6am and not Saturday at 6am? I’m still fighting the air right now 😩

Tea Review # 18: Chai Tea and More’s Clari-Tea Yall come here. Come HERE. You gotta try this tea from this woman owned business that was made to calm anxiety and stress. I was gifted some teas from them and this one right here though... You know what, let me just tell you about it 👇🏾

Tea Review # 17: Royally Fit’s Booberry Rooibos I know that this black owned, woman owned brand no longer carries this tea but maybe with this review I can get enough people on my side to convince her to bring it back! Let me tell you about it 👇🏾

The last few days have been rough on my health. So happy to slowly start feeling like a human again ♥️

Happy Black History Month everybody ♥️
