•| SHOW LIFE’S BATTLE SCARS |• With a badge of honor.
.
.
Sometimes talk can be cheap. The question is, am I living like I say I am?
.
.
When I first got braids after having brain surgery I didn’t want to wear my hair up because I wanted to avoid someone randomly asking me, “how did you get that scar on your head?” It wasn’t really until I watched an episode of the @jenniferhudsonshow where an audience member gladly showed off an outfit and her beautiful legs with a big long scar. She said something like, this scar reminds me that I almost lost my life so I show it off proudly!” LESSON!
.
.
Don’t just talk about it…be about it!
.
.
Your story is a testimony that can help others! Wear your battle scars proudly!

23 years ago, I lost my sister to breast cancer. She was only 37 years old.
.
.
19 years later, a journalist at @essence magazine contacted me via @Twitter (who knows how) and asked me to share my experience surrounding my loss and healing journey.
.
.
On my lastest blog post, I’m sharing the story again in honor of my sister and angel, Donna Brewster.

✨SKINCARE ROUTINE✨
I’m sure we all have our nightly skincare routine. Here’s a lil reel showing you how I do it and this wonderful new product I received from @kiehls #kiehlspartner
.
.
It’s the Fast Release Wrinkle-Reducing 0.3% Retinol Night Serum. It’s been in use for about 2 weeks and it’s giving me that “taking my nighttime skincare routine to a whole ‘nother level!
.
.
Of course it’s that retinol for me and the assistance with wrinkle reduction. Pure retinol @kiehls highest concentration ever. Helps speed your skin’s surface cell renewal to improve fine lines and deep wrinkles.
.

What’s your skincare routine? Favorite products? Have you ever used #kiehls

While it may sound cliche, imma say it anyway…
I only look back to see how far I’ve come.

HAPPY BLOG ANNIVERSARY TO ME!
.
.
I’ve been in this thing for a cool minute…started in 2016 and now we’re here! Thankful for the opportunities and relationships that I have built thus far and I look forward to the future! I have met and continue to meet amazing people on this platform and in the influencer community! The inspiration I see and the daily is like 😮!
.
.
Shoutout to those Queens who’ve caught me on my worst days, who give me a word of encouragement to keep going. You know who you are and I love you!
.
.
So I’m ending my Ted Talk with this: Be you in all your glory and wear what expresses who you are on the inside. It won’t hurt anyone, and you’ll feel good inside and out!
.
.
I love y’all like I love red velvet cake! Thanks for rolling with me! 🙏🏾🤗

Just call me cool breeze…cause it’s 26 degrees this Monday and when one of my colleagues asked if I was getting used to these cooler temps, I gave her a resounding NO!
.
.
And when I called myself running from my office to my car to get my laptop bag without a coat….BAD IDEA.
.
.
Any who; lesson learned. I’m looking forward to this short
work week. Holiday shopping pretty much completed.
.

Are y’all finished shopping?
