To thrive and live well, you will need to be prepared. As a wife, mom of 3, and full-time entrepreneur, I’ve certainly had my share of trials and triumphs. When I reflect on the seasons when I thrived, it was because I was prepared.  When I won Miss Liberia USA, when we paid off our cars, or when we hit a business milestone, it all came down to one main thing: preparation.  You can do the same. You can thrive – in big and small ways – and I will share the four steps to prepare consistently and sustainably. Preparation helped me realize many life goals, and I sincerely want the same ..read more

The MAGIC of a Refresh

There is something MAGIC about Jan 1. You can use it as a refresher to your everyday life. You can do that anytime during the year, but Jan 1 feels like a clean slate and should be used as one if you see fit. There should be no shame in that. 2023 was a great year, but I was encouraged to start 2024. I have a level of clarity that I haven’t had in a while. To refresh means to give new strength or energy to. As I ease into 2024, I want to refresh what matters to me. You see, I had 3 kids in 5 years, and then the year I had my last baby, there was a global pandemic. Did you hear? LOL. Now th ..read more

If you’re anything like me, you’re stretched thin when the weekend hits. So much happens during the week and requires a lot of your energy. You might have planned, but it seems that by the end of the week you’re always overwhelmed. If you don’t take the time out to plan AND prep for it, by Tuesday, you’re swamped and behind schedule. (Ask me how I know.) Having a Sunday reset routine is a must. Because it allows you to prep for the week – not just plan for it. Your week is demanding, from completing your work presentation by Monday and making sure the kids have t-shirts for superhero day at s ..read more

The MAGIC of Planning

CONFESSION: I used to not be good at planning. At all. Honestly, I wouldn’t say I liked it. It took too much time, and I thought it would happen if I loved or wanted something. (SPOILER: Even if you love or want something, you have to make a plan.) Thank God for growth.  I now understand that if I do not plan, I pay for it with time, energy, and attention being spread thin. Planning is my lifeline between managing our home, cooking meals, and ensuring everyone has what they need for their day. Since I run a business where I am the face and our main product is online content, I must also ..read more

The truth is, a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work when it comes to skincare and beauty. You ever try a product your favorite influencers swear by and it just doesn’t work for you? It wasn’t that the product wasn’t good. It just wasn’t good for you. Each of us has different skin types which means our skinacre routines should be as unique as we are. In the book, I talk about the Core Four products that should be in every skincare routine – but it’s also important to understand which products work best for you.  Let’s talk about how to find the right skincare products for your skin ty ..read more

The MAGIC of Personalization

I love having a family, but it gets hard trying to keep up with everyone’s stuff.  When someone wants their specific thing and you don’t have it or even worse you can’t find it, the meltdown can be dramatic. (Giving very much Viola, Angela or Denzel.) Depending on the situation, making sure personal preferences are honored can be difficult especially when you don’t prepare for or anticipate it. Everyone has their own thing and I try my best to honor it – as long as it’s within reason.  After all, preferences matter. That’s why personalization is so important to me when it comes to m ..read more

As opened my eyes and realized it was light out, I was sort of bummed that I had slept in.  Even though it’s summer break for the kids, it’s not the case for me because work still has to get done. And even in the summer, I still prefer to wake up before everyone in my house to get in prayer and a workout and set myself up for success for the day.
