  • How we Became Executives in the Beauty Industry

    How we became executives in the beauty industry.  The question we get asked almost daily by aspiring women and men wanting to know how we were able to get into our roles in a competitive yet rewarding industry.

    We will share our personal journeys of the rise of our careers and share our speed bumps as well as lessons we learned with over 25 years of combined experience.

    We share tips on:

    ·       Educating yourself on the industry in front and behind the glam.  Know which brand and products your passionate about using and selling.

    ·       Networking within your industry.  Step outside your world and get to know and network with fellow beauty professionals.

    ·       Stay current with beauty trends and education in the industry.  The best professionals in the industry always grow their craft.

    ·       Ask questions…. The best way to learn is to just simply ask.

    ·       Take initiative and do the job you want.  You have landed an entry-level position take initiative to ask for extra responsibilities.

    ·       Be genuine when building relationships.  Remember in the world of beauty you want to stand out for being you and kind.

    ·       Keep a great reputation no matter where you are in your career.  The beauty industry is a very tight-knit community, you will never know if you'll come across someone from your past.

    ·       Last but not least put your best foot forward and do not give up!

  • How do you know if he’s just not into you?

    On today's episode, we're asking the question-  How do you know if he’s just not into you?  Do you have a feeling you're putting out more than what you're getting in return? Are you equally vested or are continuously putting in effort with no return?

    Women often will have a sense of pride or many can be in denial when a man is just not into us.   By nature as women, we are nurturing that we can give excuses for why we’re not getting what we deserve. We discuss by taking the time to know your happiness you can identify if he’s not that into you.

    If you answer yes to one or more of the following questions he may not be into you?

    • Do you have to call him or text first?
    • Does he talk about the future?
    • Have you met any friends or family?
    • Does he see you when it's only convenient for him?
    • Does he show interest in doing things you like?
    • Does he listen and remember things that are important to you?
    • Listen in as we speak on the ugly truth of if he’s just not that into you?  And if so how to move on without wasting your time and energy on the wrong person.

    • Why is being BLACK a Crime?

      Why is being black still a crime in Amerikkka in 2020?  The 13t Amendment in 1865 was the abolishment of slavery. So, they say.....we still can not be free in the land of the free and the home of the brave as our star-spangled banner sings.

      Still, as POC we are denied not only the right of freedom as a US citizen but as a human.  We are forced to fight a fight that seems to be the war that we solemnly stand alone.  Yet to be looked upon as less relevant than a man because of the rich melanin of our skin.  Today we will talk about the recent unfortunate events, yet another name, hashtag, RIP……..another murder and slaying of the recent black man George Floyd by the hands of a murderer hiding behind a system of the unjust.
