Somber Sassy Sunday – Rest in Peace Cheslie Kryst

01/31/22 / Tiara Deahn / Leave a comment / sassy sunday

I learned the somber news that Cheslie Kryst, Miss USA 2019, committed suicide this morning. Cheslie, I do not know personally, but have admired dearly. I have followed her career on social media in awe, of her intellect, beauty, and accomplishments.

Cheslie, embodied #blackgirlmagic and I’m very sad, she is no longer here on earth. I was thrilled to see she just started her YouTube. I couldn’t wait to hear her beauty and fashion tips.

Strong black woman, is a narrative that is often associated to describe a woman of color. Though I do find the description as a positive, I can see that it can overshadow the other emotions that all humans possess. As though, a black woman can suppress  and overcome other emotions because we are so resilient and so strong.

We are strong. We are resilient. We too have a soft and tender side. We too have fears, moments of sadness, and depression.

See the source image

I’m 35 and seeing a role model that looks like me take their own life is truly devastating. Her beautiful photo is on my 2022 vision board. I admired so much of her success.

A reminder to check in on all of your loved ones.

The material things are just that, material. Our relationships with people and our respect for humanity, that’s what matters. Everything else is just small stuff.

I do not know Cheslie’s personal struggles, I just know I will miss her.

If no one has told you today, you are loved. I love you.

Please seek help, if you have thoughts of suicide.

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is a United States-based suicide prevention network of over 160 crisis centers that provides 24/7 service via a toll-free hotline with the number 1-800-273-8255. It is available to anyone in suicidal crisis or emotional distress. The caller is routed to their nearest crisis center to receive immediate counseling and local mental health referrals. The lifeline supports people who call for themselves or someone they care about. 

Love always,

🍯🐝Hi Honey Bees! Happy Sassy Sunday!

This weekend was spent tackling what seems to be never ending laundry and finding a home for some miscellaneous items.  This has a been a productive weekend at home. I got my car’s oil changed, let my kitties, Ash and Ace, play on the patio, and it even rained last night as I tended to my room.

I have been going to the gym consistently this month. Packing my bag the night before eliminates the excuse to not go and changes to mindset to ‘I get to workout,’ rather than, ‘I have to workout.’

I’m still navigating a stuffy nose, which I find quite annoying. Hopefully, sleeping with my humidifier will do the trick.

How are you balancing your current work load and everyday tasks? Any tips you would like to share?

Be Fashionable

On one of my live Tea Time with Tiara Deahn twitch streams, I shared that my local TJMAXX has some bomb colorful handbags. Growing up in New Mexico I love the color turquoise.

When I saw this turquoise jelly purse, I had to have. I found a similar one on the TJMAXX website, they reference the color as mint, but we will debate that later! 😜

Colorful accessories can make any outfit look more put together with a splash of personality.

Embrace Individuality

I stumbled upon Debra Cartwright beautiful art of black women when googling ‘black female art.’ The narrative is changing, but it’s rare see women of color representing luxury or elegance. I find this piece just so beautiful. It’s simple, effortless, and care-free.

Nurturing my intellect. Listening to audiobooks during my morning commute, has helped to shift my mindset to  cultivating positive thoughts for my day. The saying still rings true, “Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.”

BESTOOL Detangling Brush for Natural Hair

I love this brush. It evenly distributes hair products and keeps my curls feel silky. It’s less than $10 on amazon. A must have for fellow noodle heads.

🍯🐝Hi Honey Bees! Happy Sassy Sunday!

How are your new year intentions going? I have been more intentional about what I am eating and drinking. I also have been working out consistently.

I am working on streamlining my daily and weekly chores so they don’t become overwhelming. If anyone has tips on laundry please comment below!

Fifteen days left in January 2022 let make them count.

Be Fashionable

Earrings are one of my favorite fashion accessories. Statement earrings are a great way to change up an outfit. I found this cutest online accessory shop.

Kadore by Keish Leopard Hoop and Angel earrings in Pink are both sold out, but the website sells jewelry, handbags, sleep-ware, and sunglasses.

What are some of your favorite fashion accessories?

Kyndra Jade – Michelle Grace Gown

At the Arizona Wedding Show, I visited the designer Kyndra Jade’s pop-up shop and was pleasantly surprised to see that she sells her art. I have a small art collection and was thrilled to add this beauty to my collection. She also sells angel wing ornaments and angel rings.

Airplane etiquette

Middle seat gets the arm rests. I did not know this. At least there is one perk to having the middle seat. If I am on a flight where I can choose my seat, I prefer the window seat.

I’ll be sure to remember this on my next airplane trip.

Treat Yourself

“One of my goals for the happiness project was to prepare for adversity–to develop the self-discipline and the mental habits to deal with a bad thing when it happened. The time to start exercising, stop nagging, and organize our digital photos was when everything was going smoothly. I didn’t want to wait for a crisis to remake my life.” -Gretchen Rubin The Happiness Project

I started reading The Happiness Project which provides small tips to elevate appreciating the small moments in our everyday lives. So far, it’s been an enlightening read.

Until Next Time,

Sassy Sunday: Happy New Year

01/03/22 / Tiara Deahn / 1 Comment / sassy sunday / sassy sunday

🍯🐝 Hi Honey Bees! Happy New Year. It’s 2022 what a journey we’ve been on these past few years.

I ended the year creating my vision board setting my intentions. It was an exclusive event held at the Camby Hotel.

Our tables had all the tools we needed to create our visions for the next year and our lives. I love magazines and looking for inspiration. With my personality, I searched online prior to event and printed what I wanted on my vision board.

If you’re new to vision boards, there are no rules. You can pin pictures to a cork board or a mirror of images that give you inspiration of things you want to achieve. If you have a dream home, you can design a board with how you want the inside and outside of you home to look like.

Then, hang your vision board in a place that you will look like everyday. Seeing these images will set your intentions for the day.

Cheers to a New Year! Let’s attract what is already ours.

Right now in Scottsdale, it’s a little chilly, but Spring/Summer is just around the corner.

Why We Need to Stop Referring to Women as ‘Girls’

Full article is linked above. This has happened to me personally and it’s disrespectful referring to women as ‘girls’. We do not refer to men as ‘boys’ and we should give women that same respect.

Treat Yourself

I’ve tested the Color Wow products for a month on my sassy curls. This three piece set made my curls shiny without feeling oily or greasy.
