Juneteenth 2013

On Saturday, June 16th
I was featured in Brooklyn's health awareness day. I enjoyed sharing time and space with like minded business owners such as Brian Mckoy of Know Yourself Radio, Nay Grant of Grant me Grace catering, stylist Kendra Coston, professional makeup artist Tifini Lewis and countless others.  Every vendor added their own sense of well being to our community celebration as well as support for their fellows. And overall I believe we helped encourage others to be better and make better choices. Yay......!

Taking dose of my own medicine.


Greetings All! I wanted to share my brief testimony. A couple of months ago I had to take a muscle relaxer for my chronic back pain. While administering the medicine I was struck with a terrible, terrible breakout! It was spreading like wild fire across my cheeks and chin. Tiny little papules filled with hardened sebum. (bumps with hard oil) I must say that I was really upset and didn't want to take the time to let nature take its course. I was aggravated about the side effects. I found myself drawn to tears from the hyperpigmentation and inflammation scarring my face. But then I convinced myself to take a dose of my own medicine. I started increasing my water intake. I used the lemon basil morning scrub gently in the morning and at night. Also I applied aloe vera directly to my face every night and slept with it on. And to my surprise, four weeks later I am "all better!" I had to share this because I really believe in being transparent. I hope this encourages someone to be proactive with their skin.
