🍯🐝 Hi Honey Bees! Happy Sassy Sunday!

The jolly holiday season is here and I have so much to share. This year has been full of self-reflection, some self-doubt, but mostly gratitude.

Twenty-Twenty (2020) put many things into perspective. How I manage stress, what I prioritize, and what I was putting off.

Twenty Twenty-one (2021) I let myself cry, not overthink the small stuff, and allowed myself to be more vulnerable and candid with my family members. I truly would have been lost with their love and support during such a trying year.

This year, I took note on how and what I was going to spend my time and effort on. I also brainstormed on how I am building my personal brand.

Titles are not my favorite. I struggle with the terms, influencer, content creator, blogger, creative, etc. These titles do not encompass all the details of marketing, researching, time, and money it takes to create a brand.

For most content creators, it is a team of one, until you can build/hire a team to manage all the mechanics of social media platforms. Along with juggling personal development, a clean home, and just time to be truly present in life.

With that, I choose to embrace the journey of sharing my ideas with the peace of knowing that if by me sharing my personal journey inspires someone else to become their B.E.S.T self, then it’s worth it!

The beauty of the internet and social media is that I too, have discovered others who resemble me and those that do not resemble me. They share their positivity, strength, success, and failures for me to learn and grow from.

I hope this holiday season, you share your gifts with the world and the ones you love. Below are photos of inspiration and how I define being your B.E.S.T!

Be Fashionable

Ugly Sweater Holiday Outfit

It’s ugly sweater season! How many themed holidays do you plan on hosting or attending? I love this sweater, because unicorns represent embracing individuality and a reminder to never be afraid to be different.

Sparkle and Shine – BLERR Magazine Launch Party at the monOrchid in Phoenix, Arizona with Founder and CEO Daryl Bland

Are you more of a glitz and glam holiday goer? I just love this skirt from Eva Mendez’ New York and Company collection. I also have the matching top, but have never wore together. I love that this outfit is so interchangeable.

Be sure to check out BLERR magazine’s @blerrmag beautiful content. I had the honor of attending this event earlier this year and purchased their first magazine issue. It’s truly a work of art, a masterpiece, visual poetry.

Embrace Individuality

I’m back on my reading game. Thus far reading a book a week via audible. Getting back to reading has been rewarding because learning from others is inspiring.

Gabrielle Union’s We’re Going to Need More Wine, she shares her personal struggles growing up in a predominantly white neighborhood, segregation of Hollywood, sexual assault, and step-motherhood.

She reads her book on audible, which I enjoyed because no one can tell your story better than you. Looking forward to reading her next one, You Got Anything Stronger?

Stay Classy

A Little Book of Thank Yous Letters, Notes and Quotes by Addie Johnson

This book is currently on my Amazon wish list. 4 out of 5 stars. I’ve learned from my Mom the importance of handwritten thank you cards. Sometimes even the best writers need inspiration. I also find that handwritten cards are a thoughtful and precious keepsake.

Treat Yourself

A dear friend of mine, has adopted a vegan diet. I thought I would try some meatless protein options.

I have tried the Impossible burger from Burger King, Impossible breakfast sandwich from Starbucks, and now the Impossible Sausage all made from plants. 10 out of 10.

I will continue to keep this on my grocery must-have items and adopt products that do not harm animals. I am also #TeamOatmilk.

Until Next Time,

🍾Here’s to always being your B.E.S.T!
