Ok gurls, so last weekend, I had the opportunity to work behind the scenes with Designer Thomas Lavone for his sample sale.  And of course there were deals on top of deals!!!  Most of the items were for smaller sizes, but there were some pieces for curvy women.  But no fear, a little birdie told me that another sample sale is in the works and that it’d be dedicated to all the curvy chicas like me!!!

Relax, Relate, Release…

Relax, Relate, Release…

Hey beauties and beaus!

So have you ever got into a groove and then wham!!  Err’thing gets shaken up.  I used to be able to adjust to schedule changes quickly and with the ease.  But as of lately, not so much so.  However, I refuse to put myself under undue stress.  Instead I had to take a lesson from Whitley Gilbert and…RELAX RELATE RELEASE!

Over the summer, I had loads of time to workout, plan my meals and binge watch Being Mary Jane, Underground and This is Us (great shows right?!)…but the one thing I did NOT do was rest.  Therefore, when it was time to go back to work, my body was exhausted.  I didn’t realize it until I had to go back to work and my body was like:

Image result for girl byeLOL, hilarious yes but it is the sho nuff truth.  Welp, 3 weeks have gone by and I’m ready to get back into the swings of things.  I do miss the beat down sessions with my trainer, but I also realize that in life you will have to make adjustments at times.  Needless to say, this was a valuable lesson learned and instead of beating myself up, I’m jumping back in the game one day at a time, because after all, WE CAN BOUNCE BACK FROM A SETBACK!

Check out my latest video in which I give 5 tips on how to bounce back and stay encouraged!  Also let me know if these tips help in the comments section.  I’d love to hear from you.

Until next time, xx Nij!

What is PURPOSE?

What is PURPOSE?

Hey beauties and beaus, I’m back with another blog and this time I am tackling PURPOSE.  If you have been watching my YouTube videos lately or seen any of my Instagram posts, then you know that purpose is one of my favorite buzz words.  Needless to say, since finally walking in my purpose, my life has NOT been the same.  I can no longer sit by and wait for opportunities to come, rather I am kicking down doors and declaring that I AM HERE!

Why???

I’m glad you asked.

Purpose answers the million dollar question we all long to know…Why am I Here?  I never thought that I would be on the other side of fear talking to you about purpose, but here I am and I know without a shadow of doubt that, I was born to do this!  Every obstacle (and there have been plenty) has brought me to this point in life…and trust me it is a good place.  Therefore, I want to share with you my latest video “Purpose 101”, in which I discuss 4 reasons why walking in your purpose is essential to you and all the lives you encounter.  Please check it out and let me know if and how this video has helped you.  I would love to hear your feedback!

Have a purpose-filled day!

xx, Nijah

NJ Natural Hair & Beauty Expo Recap

Hello hello and hello beauties and beaus!  Today I am sharing all the details about the NJ Natural Hair & Beauty Expo.  If you weren’t there, you really a missed a treat and I’m letting Ms. Kei Reeves know today that I will be in attendance next year.  I’m putting my bid in now uhkay??!!!!  But in all seriousness, it was so much positivity, support and conversation going on in the entire room .  Women, men and even children came out to this event with the intent to network and shop, including me!  And of course the natural hair community represented!

Ms. Adeeah Rogers looked amazing and did a great job as hostess with the “mostest.”  She also served as moderator for the Q & A panel and it was a very good discussion.  Check out my YouTube vlog for snippets of the conversations, plus me chatting it up with some of the vendors.

Lastly, have you ever attended an event and just knew that you were meant to be there?  Well that’s how I felt.  Needless to to say this was both time and money well spent.  Well wishes to all the vendors!  I wish them much success in their businesses and I am reminded that it’s time to take my business to the next level.  God gave so many ideas and I learned some nuggets so it’s definitely time to hit the ground running…who knows I may attend next year as a vendor??  We shall see, xx Nij
