Exercise your mind, body and soul DAILY

• Why is this important? Our bodies work at maximum efficiency when we keep them active. And no, I’m not just talking about doing some sit ups or spending hours at the gym. Physical exercise works hand in hand with mental and spiritual exercise. So work on getting fit and being your healthiest but also work on strengthening your emotions and your mental peace. Find out what sorts of things stress you out and eliminate them. Figure out what things bring you the most peace and channel that; surround yourself with more peace. Don’t allow the world and what seems to be peaceful by popular demand influence your state of mind. It’s OK to not want what everybody else wants. I find the things I want most are not of this world. Strengthen your relationship with God, exercise your faith. Overcome your battles through Him and make your life a testimony. About a year ago, I made a major change in journey with Christ. I made a deeper commitment to Him, became more involved in my spiritual life and the spiritual life of others and have not looked back since. So work on that. Strengthen your vertical relationship with God, and your horizontal relationships on Earth will follow suit. 

Stay trendy, Stay up to date!

• OK so this one is a little weird for me. I’m usually not the one to push trends but when it comes to makeup and all things glam - sometimes you just have to. Knowing what’s new on the market, knowing what’s dropping it like it’s hot in the market – helps you stay flawless. I try my best to spot upcoming products before the hype so I can put them to the test BEFORE they sell out. I know this may be a thing of the past but purchase and read magazines. They usually put out content a lot sooner than you’ll see it on social media. Brands send their products to your fave magazine companies first for review. I have stacks and stacks of magazines at home because they put out trends first. So don’t get left behind in the beauty world!

Splurge a lil sis’

• Now I’m all for beauty on a budget but sis, sometimes you have to shell out that extra coin. I’ve been into buying beauty products for years now. Since my middle school days when I worked my first job as a nursery school counselor, I’ve been buying all sorts of beauty products. Sometimes you do get lucky and find a bomb AF product for a dollar, but sometimes you just gotta drop that quick lil $100 on a new foundation. It pays off. You’ll look good. If you test it out and you LOVE it, just buy it. Yeah it will hurt a little at first but the compliments and flawless pics will make up for it!​

So that’s all I’ve got for now! I could go on and on and on and on with my tips but I figured I’d start ya’ll off easy. Enjoy and stay GLAM!
