​At some point in our lives, we reach a point where even if things are going well, it’s time for change. I talk all the time about allowing change to grace my life, but I’ve noticed that sometimes it’s not only about allowing change to come. At this point in my life, I’m actively looking for change all the time. I’m actively looking for new and positive things to help me get my life in order. Recently, I realized that personal training isn’t just physical. Personal training is getting your mind, body and soul in-tact. Here's how I changed my lifestyle and got real results!

Women! We are the backbone. We are the force. We are the spirit. We are the light. We keep the world turning. We run this mother... yupp! 

Yet, even in knowing that women are a necessity to the world that we live, we are constantly using each other, abusing each other, and putting one another down. Why?!?! It's 2018 and it s time to cut that mess out!

We do not dim our own lights but allowing another light to shine, so shine on, Queen!

Natural hair is one of the most beautiful, most compelling and most difficult things to manage. So why manage it, right? For me, my natural hair provides me with a sense of identity and an understanding of who I am. I am BLACK! I am BEAUTIFUL! I am PROUD! I am NATURALLY CRAFTED IN GOD'S IMAGE and some people do not understand that. Fine! 

To be natural, you have to put in work!  I am still trying to find the regimen for my hair, "Nala," but I have grown to love her more and more each day. Her frizz, her flaws, her quirks and her versatility help to define ME!  However, none of this is possible if the first steps aren't executed properly. There are no unique styles without the perfect products. There is no wash and go without first, perfecting the wash! ​Keep reading for my go to products for my best washing experience.

Thus far, 2017 has been one for the books. This year, I was able to discover and re-define myself. I started this year off with a bad break up and I knew then that my life was going to have to change; I was going to have to change. I needed to re-invent myself as an individual because I had spent so much time living as part of a unit. So I began to make little changes. They started off as physical; coloring my hair, piercing my nose, etc. Then, I decided that with all of my extra time, I wanted to do more of what I love. I decided to take a trip each month and to volunteer more. This year, I as able to make it to Texas for the first time and even greater, I made it to Canada and to Haiti to do missions work. World travel and helping others is really all I want to do. This year, I began teaching art and working at different schools, pushing myself closer to my art therapist aspirations. 

Even with all of these great things happening in my life, I noticed that I will not be completely satisfied until my mind, body and spirit are all equal. So, my best friend and I started a really promising
​ 5 for 5 Fit Lifestyle Challenge. 

And so the journey to a healthier life begins! For the next five weeks, Titziana and I will be working on our mental, spiritual, physical and emotional health by changing and eliminating some of our lifestyle habits. When you allow newness to enter your life, you will be changed and will allow the universe to send blessings and growth your way.
