Hey Nubians, 



Everyday should be a day that you're motivated, but there's something about the beginning of the week that makes you feel like being turbo charged right? It's important to constantly stay inspired and be happy so we can keep moving forward.

Life gets busy and crazy but we still must fight for what we want. 

Here's some motivation to start your week below. 



"Find a job you like and you will add five days to every week." – H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

"As long as you’ve got passion, faith and are willing to work hard, you can do anything and have anything you want in this world." – Unknown

"The more I want to get something done, the less I call it work." – Richard Bach

"This is the real secret of life – to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play." – Alan Wilson Watt

"You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off of you." – Maya Angelou

"If your ship doesn’t come in, swim out to meet it!" – Jonathan Winters

Cheers!

Hi Nubians,


Everyone deserves a nice start to their week. We can live such stressful lives sometimes that it becomes easy to lose your priorities and forget what's important. Whether you're passionate about makeup, style, fashion, art, anything beautiful and creative, make sure you're making enough time for it in your life. Stay happy and positive my friends. 

Below I've gathered a few quotes to kickstart your week. I hope they help you get on track and bring a smile to your face. 

Hello Nubians,

Life gets HARD sometimes. We've all felt it and it's hard to get motivated. I know I've been through many slumps myself and it can be extremely to pick yourself up and be happy sometimes. But hapiness is SooOoooO important. Life is way too short and days, weeks, years... They all just fly by.

I try to implement these 4 steps into my life as often as possible and I wanted to pass them on to you because if you make them part of your lifestyle, I think you can become a more productive, content and happy person.



1) Stop Procrastinating and Go After Your Goals.

You can spend hours procrastinating when it truly only takes you 2 minutes to start whatever you have to do. If you have a goal go for it! Turn off the TV, stop looking for excuses to do something else and just START WHAT YOU NEED TO DO. It doesn't necessarily mean you always have to finish, but people truly underestimate the power of just starting! It's a powerful thing! Once you start you're closer to what you need to finish.




2) Try Something New.

Life is too short to not Try Something New. Within the last few years, some things I did were skydive and swim with dolphins... Not saying that everything you have to do must be extreme but you get the point. Think of something cool to do like a dance classes or an open mic poetry. Push your limits and do something a little out of the ordinary. The experience will be rewarding.



3) Be Healthy and Eat Right. 

Go to the gym regularly or work out at home. Also, cut back on the junk food and eat more lean food and add some vegetables. It's proven that people who are healthier feel better naturally. Get enough sunshine, do some yoga. Be active!



4) Make more time for YOU. 

This one could tie in a little bit with #2, but when I say time for YOU I mean make sure you're sleeping right, read a book, listen to music, go out with your friends and have a coffee or a drink, go on dates, watch a movie, make time for you to do regular everyday things. If you feel like you're just work-work-working all the time, life is going to start feeling miserable. As long as you're still productive for a good amount of your day, there should be no problem to make a little time for YOU.



I hope these steps work out a bit for you. Take it a day at a time. Try to practice these into your lifestyle daily and I promise you will start feeling like a better you before you know it.

I went to see Traces off Broadway. Good show... and if you get there 2 hours before the show and you're lucky sometimes, You can get rush tickets for $25. Traces is like a smaller more urban version of Cirque de Soleil in some scenes.







Toodles!
