Finding Yourself Through A Pandemic...

    Where do I begin...2020 has been quite a fuckin year!  Through all the craziness, this pandemic has allowed me to face many fears.  One being finally deciding to leave my "stable" job of 6 years (Did I mention WITH benefits?) to rediscover myself and fully commit to working on my own business (Missvintagegold).  I also decided to take a risk and open a completely new business with my sister during a pandemic! Which happens to be located in the U.S Virgin Islands, lol. 

    As I write this post it just hit me how crazy all of this may sound and all I can do is laugh. Now you may ask, "What's so funny?" but for a while now I have been living through my own fear.  Fear of stepping out of my comfort zone, fear of being successful, and fear of unapologetically living my best life.  Through some meditation and finding the right therapist I have slowly been able to open my eyes to new possibilities within myself.  Although I still have my ups and downs like everyone else (remember we are all human), this year has taught me that you can either push forward and fight through the negativity of the world or become another victim of 2020. 

Xoxo,

TRENDY TUESDAYS : Quarantine Nails

Hey babes and happy Tuesday!  So with all the craziness going on in the world, as a black woman my heart has been feeling extra heavy lately and I'm sure yours has too. That being said, sometimes you just need a minute to detox, regroup and treat yourself to a little "me time". With everything going on including us being on lockdown for the past few months, these times have allowed us girls to get creative when it comes to our beauty regimens.  Although businesses are slowly starting to reopen now, some of us aren't quite ready to take that chance yet. One of the biggest beauty trends I have been seeing all across the internet, has been the popular demand for press on nails.  That's right girls... PRESS ON NAILS! You remember? When you were too young to have long nails so you went to the nearest beauty supply store to buy you some press ons, tryna be grown(okay maybe that was my childhood) lol, but anyway these aren't your average press ons!
