Since I've been on my own, I've maintained a clean environment as best as I could. But the amount of time required to keep the house to the level of cleanliness that I desire is not feasible. Even if I had that much time on my hands, I don't want to spend it cleaning. I'm not talking about doing the dishes, sweeping floors and making the bed. No, I'm referring to the deep down work. The kinda stuff that my mom would do all weekend. I really wish that I was one of those people that enjoy getting on my hands and knees and scrubbing until everything shines...but I'm not. But I'd love to live in a pristine environment. So what's a girl to do?
Outsource. Yep, I'm handing the job over to the professionals. I do feel a little a guilty that I didn't turn out like my mom. But I had to get over it.
Now I have a new expense. My goal is to see how I can turn this new expense into income. Well, not directly. But I'm hoping that working in a well organized and clean environment will have a direct impact on my focus. Just recently I received an email from a coaching client of mine who shared how she found herself to be more productive in building her business when she stayed at a hotel. Why? Because an organized space helps sparks creativity. When our environment is dirty or cluttered, it takes up our mental energy. Remember the scene in Limitless when Eddy cleaned his entire home, the very next thing he did was sit down and write the book he'd been avoiding for months.
I suspect that I'll respond favorably as well. Whenever I clean my environment, I work at a higher level so I know that living in a professionally cleaned home will somehow influence my income. One challenge I'm creating for myself is to calculate the cost of regular cleaning for a year and create ideas on how to generate enough income to cover the investment (including gratuity). My intention is that this decision to hire help will actually increase my income.
We'll see what happens. Maybe I'll change my mind and cancel after the first couple of cleanings. Maybe having a maid service will transform my life. I just look forward to living in a spotless environment again.
Do any of you have experience with a maid service? Please share.

Hopefully by now, all of you ladies are fully utilizing the L.C.O (liquid, cream, oil) method of moisturizing. For those of you who aren't familiar with L.C.O., it's like Korean skin care layering, but for the hair. Basically, our goal is to maximize the amount of moisture on the hair by first applying a liquid then a creamy moisturizer and wrapping it up with a lightweight oil (or liquid, oil, cream).
Sounds good, right? But what if we could tweak the formula to make to make it even better? The first step in the L.O.C. formula involves a liquid. When I first introduced this method, my hair was insanely dry so water was my first choice. I figured that my hair would just drink up the moisture in preparation for my favorite moisturizer and oil. Water is good but it also has its downside. Sometimes, too much water has an opposite effect of what we want. Meaning water can open cuticle layer causing frizz and rough, unsexy hair.
The moisturizer can help remedy some of this but, too be honest, it too might have a high water content and may not be powerful enough to actually change the condition of the hair. The solution to this is to utilize a powerful water-substitute. Let's discuss options.
If you'd like to graduate hydrating and desire to actually condition the hair, may I suggest you try substituting water with your favorite light weight leave-in conditioner. One option I'm loving is Phillip Kingsley's Daily Damage Defense Conditioning Spay. It's really light. Like water, but better. Another benefit of Kingsley's daily defense is that it doesn't build up. Other options I also like include Biolage's Daily Leave-in Tonic for greater conditioning or Tiger Grund's Protein Recontructor if I need to fortify my hair with a little protein. All three are great choices and give my hair a little more support than water alone.
Lately, my hair has been pretty rebellious. I'm enduring a long stretch and my hair was feeling rough and tangled easily. After a little bit of thought the answer came to me in a flash "I NEED TO SEAL MY CUTICLE LAYER!" Next I wondered if I had enough time to head to the alkaline water store to grab a bottle of acidic water. But then I looked down and saw the coconut vinegar staring back at me. "Of course!" Coconut vinegar is acidic and, when mixed with water, could lower the pH thereby creating sleeker strands. After mixing some water and coconut vinegar in an aluminum sprayer, I misted my hair, layered moisturizer & Gleau Argan oil then tied a silk scarf to seal in all the goodness. Minutes later, I removed the scarf to reveal soft, smooth hair. Those massive tangles melted away. Perfecto!
Other options to boost your L.C.O routines is to start of with a watery moisturizer like Kinky Curly Knot Today, then layer with a thicker moisturizer and finish off with oil. Or use healthy hair faves already in liquid form like aloe vera juice, which also has a low pH for sealed, happy cuticles. I still believe that water is a powerful moisturizer so perhaps you might even considering experimenting with water--leave-in--cream--oil (W.L.C.O) and see how your hair responds.

Sometimes I try to pump my self up to do it, or I'll even assign a day and time when I'll get it done, but it rarely seems to work. And, the longer it stays on my list, the more I tend to procrastinate. So I'm trying a new strategy. Instead of re-writing the same actions over and and over again, I plan to practice acting with urgency.
I'll employ what I coined as the "micro-method" to move myself into quick action. The micro-method looks something like this:
Unreasonable Deadlines//
One mistake I've been making is not including a deadline/due date, when I write down my goals. Instead of saying that I'll get this thing done on Wednesday, I just write it down and hope that I somehow do it. Using the "micro-method I basically set unreasonable deadlines to get something done. For example, on my list of actions was to take some updated product images and format them for upload online. Days passed and still no images. At 4:20 pm I decided to employ the micro-method. I had until 4:35 pm to get it done! Yep, I had only 15 minutes to have a finished image. Off I went to meet this ultra tight deadline. And, to be honest, it was kinda fun...like a game. Needless to say, I got it done.
With ultra short deadlines, we shift our mindset from making excuses to figuring out how to get it done quickly. Time is ticking....
Take Micro Actions//
The other aspect of the micro-method for overcoming procrastination is to take micro actions. Sometimes our minds tend to have the tendency to over exaggerate how hard it is to do something. We listen to the excuses and put of the action for another day. Instead, I urge you to take a micro action. I've been putting off meditating lately because I lied to myself convinced myself that I just don't have enough time.
So I asked myself, do you have 1 minute to meditate? Of course the answer is yes. So I set my timer for a minute and meditated. Suddenly, the activity that I had no time for was over in what seemed like record time. Immediately, I reset the clock for 3 minutes. Again, the minutes seemed to breeze by. At first I "had no time" to meditate, now, I wanted to do it even longer. The same method could be used for physical exercise or writing your book. Writing is definitely one of those actions that seems daunting if you just sit around thinking about it. But when you start, you find yourself in a state a flow and want to keep going. The hardest part is starting and the micro-method may just be the way to get started.
The absolute best part of the Micro-Method is that it's like a gateway drug to greater levels of action. You can't have just a little. Once you start doing what you've been putting off, you feel great and you build momentum. Soon you'll find yourself doing more and more. It becomes addictive. Taking the micro-action of jumping on the trampoline led to a walk at a nearby park, which lead to a early gym session this morning. Last week, I thought I was too busy to work out. Today, I can't wait to incorporate more physical activity into my day.
This micro-method is really powerful. I urge you to become a user (sorry for bad pun).

It stays pretty hot most of the year where I live so I don't get the chance to really rock my outer wear like I want. Sometimes I'll grab a lightweight jacket in the morning and have to remove by afternoon as the temperature climbs. Let's not forget those days when it's too hot to wear a jacket but you still want to layer pieces and elevate your look. The solution to all of our problems is in the sleeveless jacket which Laura Govan is wearing flawlessly. Her military vest/jacket really makes the look.
Now I'm obsessed with acquiring sleeveless versions of my favorite jackets. This may require some tailoring but I'm open to the idea of altering an old coat if necessary. Last year, I picked a denim vest after being inspired by this look and I wore it almost daily. Now I'm on a mission to add a few more vests to my collection.
Keeping your hair perfect in this summer heat can be darn near impossible. Sometimes it's easier to accessorize with a gorgeous statement head wrap and keep it moving. Head wraps are perfect for accentuating your look. I love how she paired with a multicolored wrap with playful sunnies and cute earrings. Last summer I wore different head wraps for about a week and totally felt like a different person. It saved time, protected my hair from the harmful summer sun, and garnered a few compliments in the process. It was just the change I needed. It's definitely time to rock this again.

My ravenous shopping habits have lead me to reach the status of Sephora VIB (very important beauty insider). Every once in a while an email lands in my inbox with an exclusive offer for VIB members. Most often, I ignore them, but this time I had to take full advantage. They were offering various free samples with a minimum purchase. On the list of offers was GlamGlow's Youthcleanse.
What intrigued me about YouthCleanse is that it cleanses, exfoliates and has mask-like qualities all in one. Sometimes one doesn't have the time to execute three separate steps in your facial regimen. Feels good to know that one product can save a little time and change the look of your skin in one session.
Here's a little background about the product:
YOUTHCLEANSE is a revolutionary Mud to Foam daily cleanser that combines the power of mud and the performance of foam for an innovative cleansing experience. It transforms into a gentle and effective foaming lather that dissolves makeup and impurities while removing dead surface cells.
It is formulated with Brazilian superfruits acai, guarana, and acerola to provide potent antioxidants and flaxseed and quinoa, which are rich in omegas 3, 6, and 9 for stronger, healthier-looking skin. French sea clay revitalizes skin, microalgae scrub and phytic acid extreme gently exfoliate, and TEAOXI® green tea leaf delivers EGCG super antioxidants to protect against free radicalsworking with ground ginkgo biloba leaf to optimize the skins natural renewal process. YOUTHCLEANSE helps to maintain the results of your current weekly GLAMGLOW® treatments.
This morning I had the chance to try it for myself and here are my initial thoughts. The product itself has a thick liquid consistency. Sorta like a lotion (but not). The creamier consistency allows for easy application on a dry face (per instructions). Once the product is completely applied, you then dampen your hands and rub them together, causing the product left on your hand to foam.
As you apply the YouthCleanse to your face and when you massage the product, you'll feel the tiny grains that work to exfoliate. Although it kinda feels like a mask on the skin, the instructions state clearly that it's not meant to be used as a mask. Meaning, it doesn't dry onto the skin and you don't have to wait forever for it to dry before removing.
After a few moments of massaging the product in, I rinsed it off pretty easily. Immediately, I touched my skin which felt smooth and exfoliated. Overall, I was really pleased with how YouthCleanse performed. According to the product info, this is meant to be a daily cleanser. In my experience, the product was a little too drying to be used daily. I mean, it cleanses, exfoliates, and has mask-like qualities all in one. Of course could be a little drying. This product would have been perfect back when I traveled a lot. Instead of having to pack a mask, exfoliating products and a cleanser, I'd grab my YouthCleanse and be set. I also see this as a perfect product for after working out or a steam room session. GlamGlow Youthcleanse is made for those moments you're short on time but want to do a quick exfoliation and cleanse at once. Or when you're feeling lazy and don't want to conduct a full on at home facial.
I will definitely purchase the full size.

During this morning's conversation, she discusses having been laid off from her job of 30 years. I was taken aback by how long she'd been employed there. Instantly my mind started to do the math. Exactly how old was this woman? Sure her husband is an older gentleman, but I thought she married an older man when she was younger. Her face is absolutely flawless, with zero signs of wrinkles or aging. Her deep chocolate skin has an undeniable glow.
As our conversation comes to a close she mentions celebrating her 55th birthday. Stunned and slightly in shock, I blurt out "what do you use on your skin?" She smiles, touches her face, and says, in her country twang, "vaseline." "I put it on every morning and before I go to bed." "Do you do anything else?" I ask. "Nope."
I was much more shocked than I should have been. I mean, I'm well aware of the benefits of going to bed greasy.
But now I'm thinking, "what is it about vaseline" that makes people swear by it? What makes it such a powerful anti-aging product?"
Truth be told, there aren't any amazing ingredients in vaseline. It's not at all like the main ingredient Korean Essence products that have the ability to slow down time. It has no antioxidants nor does it dissolve the top layer of skin revealing more youthful skin cells. Vaseline only does one thing and it does it really well. It protects.
More accurately, vaseline provides an excellent barrier on the skin. Think about it. After cleansing at night we add moisturizers to our skin. Then we sleep for 8 hours while the moisture from our skin evaporates. Vaseline creates an amazing barrier of protection on the skin sealing in moisture like none other. Moisture is trapped, keeping the skin in its hydrated condition for hours at a time. Can you imagine the long term effects of that? In the words of the wise P Diddy, "it moisturizes your skin's situation and preserves its sexy." And let's not forget about the people who boast that petroleum jelly makes their lashes feel healthier. Again, moisture retention at work.
Never forget the power of high moisture levels. It's what keeps our hair flexible, preventing breakage. High amounts of moisture plumps the skin, while dehydration causes wrinkling. Moisturized skin glows. Dry skin is dull and rough. We apply oil on our hair to seal in moisture, why not use the same reasoning for our skin?
I know that some of your cringe at the thought of applying petroleum jelly to your face. "It'll break me out" is the first thought that pops into your mind. But according to the Vaseline website, it doesn't clog pores. Probably because petroleum jelly doesn't actually sink into the skin but remains on the top layer. But no worries, if you'd like to experience the wonders of Vaseline without actually using petroleum jelly, try a more natural alternative like Alba's Unpetroleum. Or perhaps you'd rather use something lighter like coconut oil. We've seen great examples here and here of women who use coconut oil at night and enjoy flawless skin. One last option on the list is oil cleansing, which is where you use oil on the skin as a pre-cleanse to remove dirt and oil.
Before high end skin creams, there was vaseline. And it allowed many grandmothers to age in a beautiful and natural way. Today we have access to much more intricate formulations and I'm grateful for that. But there's no denying the wonders of plain 'ole petroleum jelly.

Sounds like a plan, right? But tend to neglect the aspect around "feeling good." They say that you must "feel the feelings of having obtained what you want" to speed up the attraction process. In my experiment, I decided to actively take actions that instantly elevate my mood. Here's the thing, I can go from feeling amazing to feeling discouraged pretty quickly. Our thoughts are constantly running in the background and, if we aren't careful, we allow negative thoughts, judgement, and internal criticism take us down the wrong path.
Here's the way I look at it. Everyone of us has a cell phone. Before bed, you probably charge your cell phone to prepare for the following day. Throughout the day, we use the phone which drains the battery. Even if you don't use the phone that much, the battery still goes down. Eventually, you'll have to charge it again. We're the same way. We could accomplish something great and be on cloud nine. Days, weeks, or hours later, we might be right back to feeling bad again.
This is why we need to develop a "feel good routine." Basically, this is where you (1) notice when your feel good energy is low (or not where you want it to be). And (2) you instantly take on a set of actions that transform your energy to "feel good levels."
The better I am at implementing my feel good routine, the more I attract what I desire. My level of action is also greater when I'm operating at high levels. Here's what I did
- First I identify what makes me feel good. Ideas that came to my mind included maintaining a clean and inspiring environment, listening to my favorite songs, dancing, paying attention to my physical appearance, staying hydrated, looking at inspiring images, etc. Some of these actions have the ability to instantly change my mood. Those are the actions I'd employ as soon as I notice my levels draining. Fast action makes all the difference.
- Next I determined other mood changers that would have a more long term effect. For instance, working out may or may not instantly change my mood, but the results could sustain the feel good feelings, long term.

Besides work, the place we spend most of our time is at home. Typically, the environment at work pulls from our energy. Therefore, our home should be a place that pours energy back to us. We already know the power of presenting the best version of ourself on a daily basis. But what about the power of being surrounded in a beautiful and uplifting environment at all times?
I love the feeling of walking into a luxury hotel lobby of walking down the streets of a high end community. There's just something about those spaces that have the ability to impact us. What if we were to take elements of that and bring it into our current space? Could a few small simple changes cause us shift our mood and energy to new levels?
Let's find out by incorporating these "abundance elements" into our current environment.
But it's also important to bring elements of the outside, in.
Sure, many of us have silk plants and flowers scattered around the home, but silk plants collect dust and are an merely a replica of the real thing. I love reading about women who purchase fresh flowers every Sunday to begin the new week. There's something magical about identifying which flowers will bring the most beauty and elegance to your space. Since it's Sunday, why not treat yourself to a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers and put it in a prominent place in your home.
One area that I need to work on is clearing of surfaces and creating space. Clutter is the #1 ruiner of the environment. It's like blockage that stops our flow. Remember in Limitless, when the lead character took the "limitless potential pill?" The very first thing he did was clean and declutter his environment. When you clear out your space, you allow ideas to flow. Steve Jobs required his office space to be free of excess clutter and had everything painted white.
If you study the habits of various wealthy people, many of them maintain immaculately clean living spaces. They seem to have an eye for detail that extends into their outward environment. I remember attending a morning yoga session at the corporate office of my past company. The CEO happened to slip in after the session was completed and everyone was mingling. At first he was being his social self and interacting with the cheery people in the room. Then he caught a glimpse of the haphazardly folded yoga blankets and requested that we pay attention to how we do everything in life (including how we fold). His attention detail created a culture that lead to the formation of a billion dollar company. Often, in his interactions with employees, he'd discuss the cleanliness of their vehicles or talk about how important it is to organize our closets.
Cleanliness and organization are abundance habits. Let's cultivate the habit of order. This habit causes us to pay attention to details and raise our level of discipline.
Let's clear visible spaces (table tops/counters). No longer will we use counter space for storage but only to display items that we'll use on a frequent basis. Let's constantly create space by decluttering regularly. Let's allow new things to flow in & out of our lives (stop hoarding) and let's experience the feeling of abundance that one has from surrounding yourself with less.
Any time I organize a small area in the room, my eyes tend to gravitate to it whenever I enter. It's magnetic. And by simply taking it in, I instantly feel better. Imagine how that would feel if I invested the time to do the entire home? Actually, that's what I'm in the process of doing. I hope to have a major part of the decluttering done by fall (or sooner). Clutter represents disorder. We don't want disorder surrounding us when we're trying to create something new and powerful in our lives. Let's make an abundant environment a priority.

Although I already have a staple foundation (Make Up Forever (MUF) HD foundation), I was still very curious and couldn't get Silk Luminous Foundation out of my head.
Some time passed and one day, after applying the HD foundation, I thought to myself. I need a foundation that does more that just cover flaws, I need something that blurs and makes my skin look smooth & glowy.
Off I went to the Neiman Marcus counter and, thankfully they offered an option in my shade. I sampled a little on my skin and took note of how much thinner the consistency compared to MUF. It glided on so easy and felt absolutely weightless.
A friendly sales associate stopped by to boast on the wonders of this miracle foundation and even made sure to mention that she was actually wearing it herself. After our exchange, she gave me a small sample to take home. Before making my way back home, I stopped by a few stores in the mall. While there, I caught a glimpse of my skin in the oversized mirror and thought "my skin looks so smooth."
Next on my list is to sample Gucci's product to see what's what. Either way, I'm excited to have finally found an every day foundation that makes my skin look amazing (not just covering blemishes). The price is on the higher end but if it gives me the outcome I'm looking for, it's worth every cent.

Before I start, I have to share some disclaimers. First, I rarely wear makeup. Although I own tons of it, the only time I'd put it on is before going to Church, a dinner out or other special events. As a child I remember watching a talk show where a woman bragged about being married for X number of years and not allowing her husband to ever see her without makeup. She wore makeup to bed and would wake up extra early to redo her entire face before he woke up in the morning. I shook my head and swore to never be "that person." Which is why I stayed away from daily make up application.
But now, I have a new perspective on life and I realize the value of wearing make up more often. Let's discuss.
1. You take better care of your skin.
One huge benefit of wearing skin correcting makeup is how one can minimize flaws. Back when my skin was a certifiable mess, I'd leverage concealer to make my breakouts seem a lot less horrendous then they really were. Whenever I had a presentation in front of a large group of people, I'd use ample amounts of MAC Studiotech to make my skin look somewhat normal.
But, ideally, everyone with troubled skin wants to have skin that looks amazing without makeup. Honestly, I started going hard with transforming my skin only after using makeup to hide the flaws. Thanks to the help of high coverage foundations, I saw what my skin could look like if I worked hard enough. So I made it my mission to create skin that looked great with or without makeup. They say that if you want to create something new in your life, you have to visualize it. When my skin was a hot mess, it was hard to visualize it as flawless. So I'd apply my makeup, squint and viola! I'd see what my future could look like. I use lash serum because I love the look of long lashes that mascara gives. I exfoliate because I like the way my skin looks without blemishes. Wearing makeup actually causes me to work harder to improve my natural beauty.
On the flip side, makeup can also show you what's wrong with your skin. Try applying foundation to dry flaky skin and see what happens. If your skin needs exfoliating, you'll certainly notice that when you wear makeup. Sometimes I like to put on foundation just to see what I notice. Do my fine lines appear more obvious? Is my skin texture a bit rough? I take note of what shows up and promptly address it in my daily skin care regimen.
2. You're more likely to wear sunscreen
Whenever I rock a bare face, I rock a bare face. Meaning, I don't do much in the area of skin protection. I just do the bare minimum and walk out the door. But when I wear makeup, I layer sunscreen, moisturizers, the whole nine. Not only that, I'm more likely to put in a little extra effort by adding facial massages and facial exercise, just to make sure my face provides the perfect canvas for the final look. If I go too long without wearing makeup, it most likely means that I'm neglecting other aspects of my facial regimen as well.
One reason why I don't wear makeup that often is because I'm not that good at it. Sure, I can slather on foundation to correct flaws but beyond that, I'm just mediocre. But, just like anything else, applying makeup is a skill. Meaning, the more you purposefully practice certain techniques with the intention on improving, the better you'll get. After hours of research and practice, I was finally able to create a modified winged eye that looked great on my small, hooded eyes. This could only happen with lots of experimenting.
Once upon at time, I'd practice various makeup techniques on a daily basis. I did it out of necessity because I hated the way anyone did my makeup. After dedicating hours into practicing, I made huge strides and started receiving compliments left and right. Deliberate practice makes perfect.
4. You tap into your feminine energy
One thing for sure, wearing makeup makes can make you feel more feminine. It's all about enhancing your feminine features, your eyes, your lips, your skin, cheekbones. Part of my hesitation in wearing makeup was that I didn't want to seem over done. And to be honest with you, I wasn't comfortable with enhancing my feminine energy at the time. Now, I'm much more comfortable with myself. We'll discuss the art of femininity in future posts. But I think it's important for every woman to be just as comfortable accessing her feminine traits as she is her masculine side. Wearing makeup is just one small act that allows you to do that.
5. You attract.
In theory, make up allows you to present the best version of yourself to the world. When you do this, the world responds. We've discussed the benefits of being attractive in a previous post. The shifts in other people's behavior when you present your best self, is very real. I can remember things like everyone wanting to make eye contact with me and linger a little in my office that one time after getting my lashes done for the first time. At first, I didn't understand why people at work were treating me differently (in a good way), then I remembered the lashes. I thought it was silly how something so small could impact other people's behavior. But now, I'm intrigued by it.
It's actually proven that wearing makeup attracts others to you. Various studies have been done on the topic. Heck, there's even one that talks about how "attractive" servers generally receive a higher tip from men and women versus the "less attractive." Now, one can argue that being attractive is a measure of genetics. People with perfect bone structure and symmetrical features will be attractive no matter what they do. But there are also aspects of attractiveness that everyone can enjoy, like glowing skin, healthy hair, etc. Oh, and don't forget how a magnetic personality attracts others to you.
Experiment with going without makeup for a week, then try wearing it daily. You'll notice the difference, and others will too. My theory is that people respond well to the efforts that you put towards how you look. They appreciate it. So don't think that your efforts will be done in vain. You don't have to go all out and wear a full face every day, just accentuate your unique positives. Perfect your signature look. Go out into the world looking your best and feel amazing.
