  • The Most Stylish Mask & Sanitizer Holder Out There

    The Most Stylish Mask & Sanitizer Holder Out There

    Nowadays, it’s essential that we keep our masks and sanitizer on deck when leaving the house.

    To be honest, I never really go out. I let my husband do all of the store runs while the baby and I wait for him in the car. But when I absolutely must go out not only do I want to be stylish but I also want to make sure that I have my PPE on hand. Rummaging through my purse to find these essentials is not my ideal way of being prepared.

    Here is a stylish way to keep your mask and sanitizer on you.

    The Hands Off Belt is the perfect accessory! It keeps you hands free while still being safe. Put your sanitizer, mask, and a couple of dollars in there or your credit card. You’re good to go!

    Thoughts on the Hands Off Belt Bag?? Drop them in the comments…

  • 5 Tips That Will Make 2018 Your Most Fearless Year Yet!

    5 Tips That Will Make 2018 Your Most Fearless Year Yet!

    I say this all of the time and I will say it again…living fearlessy is not easy.  It is something that takes effort every, single day.  Accepting what life throws at you without making any effort to change it is easy.  Giving up on goals and running away from your dreams is a piece of cake.  Feeling the fear and doing it anyway…not so much.  These tips should help you make 2018 your most fearless year yet!

    Step Out Of Your history & Into Your Destiny 

    So you have made some mistakes in the past…who hasn’t?!  If you let your past mistakes determine your future, you will never be able to progress.  Find your destiny by leaving that crap in the past.  You can’t change it.  Focus on living in the future!

    K.I.M. – Keep It Moving

    Your decision to live fearlessy means changes are bound to happen.  Bold, exciting life events  like changing jobs, moving to a foreign place, leaving a bad relationship, starting a business are bound to happen.  One thing you must know about making these changes is that everyone will have an opinion about it.  Unsolicited advice will be coming from family, friends, co-workers, strangers and everyone in between.  People will put their fears off on you without even knowing it.   Not sharing so much or even cutting off people might be necessary to keep you on track.  No matter their thoughts remember you goals.  Cut the haters out of your life and keep it moving!

    Surround Yourself With People You Want To Be Like

    This tip goes hand and hand with K.I.M.  Maybe they have built a successful business or you admire the relationship they have with their spouse.  Perhaps they are ambitious or fitness fanatics.  You can’t go wrong surrounding yourself with people who motivate you.

    Think About What You Add To The Room 

    Walking into a room can be overwhelming, especially when you don’t know anyone.  This is a surefire why to shake your confidence a bit.  But instead of focusing on that; think about what you add to the room.   For instance, at business/professional events your experience as a stylist makes you an asset at a fashion show.  Your welcoming smile makes you approachable at a networking event.  Focus on the what you do add to the room rather than your fears.

    Be What You Are Missing To Yourself  

    Love yourself and be your own biggest fan.  Take yourself to the movies.  Enjoy a nice dinner alone.  Don’t wait for others to do it for you.  You will find people being drawn to you because of your positive, fearless energy.  Which in turn could influence them to want to feel the same type of energy.  Your vibe really does affects your tribe.

    When it is all said and done it all boils down to the fact that fear isn’t going anywhere. The feeling can pop up at any minute.  The question isn’t; “will I be afraid?”.  It is “how are you going to let it affect you?”  These tips will help you guide through your fearless life with ease.  2018….we are ready for you!

  • What The Dictionary Won’t Tell You About Being Fearless

    What The Dictionary Won’t Tell You About Being Fearless

    If you look up the word, fearless, in the dictionary, then you will see the following:

    1. Without fear.

    Synonyms

     frightless

    Derived Terms

    fearlessness

    fearlessy 

    See Also

    unafraid

    interred

    courageous

    Not to say this isn’t accurate.  The definition is super accurate but there should be some sort of warning label.  Or maybe a See Also Fearless Living section.  The section could basically prepare you for whats’ to come should you choose that route.  I never looked up the actual definition of the word prior to my fearless journey not that it would’ve changed my decision.  But now that I’m well into it, curiosity led me to look up how it’s defined in the dictionary.  But instead of appreciating the information it gave, I found myself analyzing what was missing.  Which is why I recommend a warning label.  Something along the lines of:

    Happy Fearless Woman Friday 💙

    When looking for someone to be featured in this series, I like to ask a few questions to help determine if they are actually fearless.  Some make me feel like I’m not doing enough and others make me say, “girl please”.  Holding down a 9to5 for 2 years isn’t my idea of fearless, it’s called feeding yourself.  Or is it just me?  🤔 But I  really do appreciate every single response.  So, please keep them coming!

    When I was contacted by Hayley Carr, I knew she was fearless before I read her full story.   Check out the first question that I asked and her response.

    What made you want to live fearlessy?  Her response was…
    I don’t believe in the absence of fear – never once when I was doing something brave did I feel brave at the time – I felt scared. But I wanted to be the type of woman that never lets my fear dictate my life. I believe that every woman deserves to feel free. And when we can live act and in the presence of, and despite fear, we become fierce, and unstoppable.

    If that doesn’t make you want to know more, I don’t know what to tell you!  But I’ll let her tell her finish her own story.

                 

    Told ya so!  Leave your thoughts in the comments.

  • Fearless Woman: Nancy Kurspahic

    Fearless Woman: Nancy Kurspahic

    Happy Fearless Woman Friday.  I am so happy to introduce you all to a new set of fearless women who are going their thing!

    Todays’ fearless lady is Nancy Kurspahic.  She worked with agencies for more than ten years until realizing how unhappy and stressed she was. Thats when she decided to quit working on the dreams of others and started working on her own goals and aspirations.    Seeing as though she had a 5-month old baby and no longer had the security of a paycheck became frightening.   But she turned things around with Miami Crowd.  Miami Crowd is a consulting firm she created, which helps businesses succeed through public relations and social media management.  We reached out to this fearless entrepreneur to get some details on living fearlessy and here is she said…

    What was the final straw that made you quit your job and take a risk.

    I would have to travel away from my newborn for a week and wasn’t given time off to make arrangements for more assistance at home.

    What have you learned about yourself?

    Everyone has their limits and in the hardest moments we learn what we will tolerate.  Those hard moments mold us into stronger individuals.

    What is it like to juggle family and entrepreneurship?

    Nothing in life is easy.  There is no step by step recipe on how to balance life.  You just do the best you can and make sure to communicate with your family.

    What keeps you motivated?

    Thinking back on how unhappy I was…motivates me to keep going.

    What one tip would you share with others that let fear hold them back?

    Don’t wait.  We all continue to wait for another time.  Just make that time now.  Even if its a small step that will make you take the next step.

    Want to keep up with Nancy? Follow her on IG & Twitter @miamicrowd or check out her website www.miamicrowd.com.

    Happy Fearless Woman Friday 💙

    Who can’t wait for the weekend to begin?!  Well, before you start your weekend celebration, please allow me to introduce you to this fearless lady!

    Lara Flanagan is a single mom of 9 year twins.  Which sounds busy enough, right?  Well, this family of three aren’t just sitting around baking cookies (not that there is anything wrong with that).  Let’s just say that this family of 3 are serious world travelers!  They are currently 6 months into a 12 month backpacking adventure.  During this time they will explore areas of Costa Rica, the United States, Italy, Thailand and Cambodia.  As someone who will work for travel myself, I really fell in love with her story.

    Check out Laras’ story in this weeks’ episode of Fearless Woman.

    Happy Fearless Woman Friday 💙

    It has been a few weeks since the story of a fearless woman has been shared.  I know you all have been patiently waiting for the next episode to show itself and you aren’t the only ones!

     This week I am over the moon excited to introduce you to Noni Ayana.   Noni is a sex guru of sorts…no really!  As a sexologist, sexuality educator and sexuality practitioner for the last 6 years, it is safe to say that she has learned alot of useful information in her studies.  One of the biggest issues she found, for instance, is that married couples aren’t talking about s-e-x.  That had me wondering, “How do couples know that they are pleasing eachother if they are talking about it enough to know?”  Thank goodness, Noni has made it her business to solve this problem.  She created a company that offers premarital counseling and consulting services to couples.  In this weeks’ episode, Noni shares how she lives the fearless life by removing the fears that surround sexuality.

     Sounds like a game changer for couples! Thoughts?
