#TrynaBeSomebody || Career Coaching

I've been working on expanding the Tryna Be Somebody series to include more tangible content on how to better yourself as an individual professionally.  This episode is the realization of that vision. 

I recently decided to become a freelance video producer! 

I knew it was the right thing to do, but once I officially had my last day with the agency I found myself sort of twiddling my thumbs.  In the meantime, obviously I would produce more content on my YouTube channel but what tangible steps could I do to generate new business? 

I established my LLC earlier this year, but I'm pretty sure I need to draft some contract templates? Right? That's a thing...right? Where do I go for that?

Should I respond to every email I get from some far off country to try a random product I've never heard off? What if it leads to something! What if it ends up being the next iPod? HALLLPP!

And then as if God saw my internal struggles and confusion, I remembered that I knew a career coach. 

We had our first session my last official day at the agency and when I tell y'all I left that meeting renewed and restored in the Lord Jesus Christ! Sometimes all you need is someone to help you work through all the directions your mind is going.  Whether you're climbing the corporate ladder, or freelancing/starting your own business like me. I think everyone can benefit from a coaching session. 

#YouTube | 2015 Wash N Go Regimen

I finally made an update to my wash n go regimen.  I mostly do wash n gos on my hair unless i'm stretching it out for work.  I wash my hair using the Terressentials mud wash.  This mud wash has been a staple product in my hair regimen for over a year now and I absolutely love it. 

My regimen mostly focuses on moisture retention.  I wash my hair 2 to 3 times a week depending on how active I am since my scalp is prone to buildup and flaking.  When washing my hair I make sure to give my hair ample time to soak up the moisture from the water before I begin cleansing, this is very crucial since my hair is low porosity.  Combine that with it's thick density and I need all the water I can get. 

If I'm wearing my hair out for the day, it'll shrink up by about 75%.  The finished look usually gives the appearance that my hair is only 3 or 4 inches long (it's actually around 10 inches all over).  

#YouTube | Using A Menstrual Cup

Happy Mother's Day! 

It seemed fitting on this fine day that we appreciate, and dote on our mother's for bringing us into this world - that I would post this video.  

I wrestled with the idea of posting such private content but finally settled on the fact that having a period is COMPLETELY normal and part of every healthy woman's life. It's one of the main reasons we even have mother's day! So, get your cringes over with now and go check out the video :)

PS: Be sure to check out the comments section, there are a lot of women posting really great tips and tricks as well as other healthy alternatives to tampons and pads. 

Happy Mother's Day! 

PPS: The head wrap is from The Wrap Life. It's their Mojo Matrix head wrap.
