I have to literally run out of the door, but wanted to splash in a few pix from yesterday! The day started off with a pop by the Tracy Reese show, which took place in a beautiful enchanted garden. I said hey to Bethann Hardison and Lola Ogunnaike: Then I hopped in my Lexus to go to Milk Studios and kick it in the Lexus Lounge. The Lexus Lounge is a super chill space, reserved for celebs to charge up…

The weight of all I had to do, plans for the future, and life stresses kept me clinging to my pillow, snuggled under the covers, putting my phone on vibrate and muting notifications. The night before, I had been meandering on Youtube, and happened upon this video from 2013 from the Blogging while Brown Conference. Angel Laws of Concrete Loop, Necole…
So I’ve been hearing good stuff about meditation for years. Like the 5am rule, loads of successful people swear by meditation, including Russell Simmons, Rick Rubin, Kobe Bryant, Arianna Huffington, and even Oprah, who is rumored to have a meditation room in her house. This morning I successfully woke up at 5am (pats self on back), but instead of hit the park for a run or brisk walk, I decided to kick the day off with meditation. I found a…
