FITNESS SPOTLIGHT: ‘HOT GIRL WALK’
So I’m not one for following Tik Tok or even Tik Tok Trends. One trend that I just kept hearing and piqued my interest was the “Hot Girl Walk.’ This is one trend that I’m glad I found.
JORDAN AIR 3 CEMENT
I am not going to feign being a sport fan, or even watching Michael Jordan regularly when growing up, but I do admit the reason for my love affair with Jordan is due to the timeless cool factor and comfort. My first introduction to Jordan’s was when I was in middle school, and this article of GQ Magazine has Kid Cudi modeling, and he was wearing a high top sneaker I have never seen before.
BOOK SPOTLIGHT: FROM BEAUTY TO BUSINESS
I’m so happy to be doing this review!! We initially interviewed Kiyah at the height of the pandemic in 2020. She was kind and engaging.

DEVIL’S IN THE DETAILS: A SARTORIAL PROJECT
For those who know me, there are few things I can talk endlessly about: food, history, and tailoring. The knowledge of the latter subject stems from many many years of exposure. My father who wears suits everyday due to his profession would always talk to me about the importance of a suit.

BOOK SPOTLIGHT: BLACK IVY: A REVOLT IN STYLE
Anyone that knows me, knows that I am a huge classic menswear enthusiast. The admixture of history, tradition, and timeless style has always infatuated me since I was a child seeing my father dress for work. As a man of color that is both Latino and Black, appearances and how the world views me has always been a topic of discussion between my parents and even myself.
SELF-BELIEF!
Believing in You. Staying true to you, and forging ahead on your path.
This belief can be easy to say to ourselves. Yet more of a challenge to implement in our daily journey. Especially with so many platforms on social media available to compare ourselves to constantly. As well for us to be made privy to the comparison. As well, an often harsh criticism of who we are, what we do, and our ideas.
SELF-TALK!
I know when I first started hearing that phraseology I was like….wait what!?!
It is defined as ….the act or practice of talking to oneself, either aloud or silently and mentally.
What it turns on is whether that self-talk, the talk that we say to ourselves silently - is positive, or negative.
HOW TO BE AN INTROVERTED EXTROVERT
With 2021 ending and 2022 fast approaching, it is time for everyone to do self-reflection, New Years resolutions, and looking back in the past year and different challenges and lessons learned. Going into 2022, we still see the rise of COVID-19, and another eminent lockdown, and most people are terrified about the thought of self-isolation and the loneliness that comes from it. Personally as someone who is naturally quite extroverted, I have seen the benefits of living a more introverted lifestyle and weighing the pros and cons.

TAKING CARE OF YOU (POST COVID-19)

Our Joy is connected to our Gratitude. When you approach life to see Gratitude in every situation.

NETFLIX REVIEW- #blackAF
#BlackAF has been regarded as some as a more adult and raw version of Black-ish, mainly due to the profanity, and subject matter, but it is still well written and acted. Some subjects in the show can be hard to handle due to the reality of race in America, and especially now it is a great comedic tool to help educate people on aspects of Black culture.
