Books for spiritual entrepreneurs can help you make a leap despite hurdles. Entrepreneurship often comes with uncertainties, doubt, or frustration. What do can you do when believing you can seems impossible? Read! I have been an entrepreneur now for more than ten years. TEN! Sometimes it’s really hard to believe it. This February, I’ll be three years fully self-employed. Although I have always wanted to be self-employed, honestly, I was scared. Fear made me not take that leap. Fear told me I wouldn’t succeed, or that I was not equipped, and that I wouldn’t be able to earn the revenue...
Teaching Children Mexican Culture During Hispanic Heritage Month
Hispanic Heritage Month kicked off September 15 and I have been using this as an opportunity to honor our Mexican roots with the children. There are a number of ways to teach children about Hispanic culture. Immersing them in the culture in order to fully understand it is a great way to do so. Of course, that’s not a possibility for everyone. We were lucky to have done this seven years ago when we spent a summer abroad in Mexico. The children were 5, 6, and 9, good ages to build lasting memories and old enough to appreciate the experience. While we were...
Does Biotin Cause Acne?
You know the old saying, “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it”? Let me share with you how I learned this lesson the hard way when I thought I was doing the most with my skincare regime. All I wanted was “glowing skin, hair, and nails.” It all started one innocent night on Amazon. I was down the rabbit hole and going deeper. I went from needing just one thing to debating which color to get for my new 1400 count Egyptian cotton sheets, and exploring LED colors for backyard patio lights in preparation for Florida Winter, just weeks away. All...

Teaching Our Daughters to Love Their Natural Hair
Growing up, I loved everything about my Haitian and Mexican combination except for one thing. It was something superficial. Something that caused me frustration and would often have me sobbing and disappointed as a young girl. My hair. When I was little, I hated my hair with a passion. I hated how curly it was, how I could never wear it straight, and how different my hair was from my mom’s hair and every brown girl I knew at that time, which weren’t many. As for my mom’s hair, it dried straight, stayed “flat,” and took three minutes, maybe four, to...
How to Sell Your Gold For Cash
Cash for gold jewelry? Yes, please! What are the dos and don’ts to and how much can you actually get?

Choosing the Best Sunglasses for Your Face shape
Ahhhh summer. It’s hot, the sun is shining, and you are ready to spend time outdoors and in the sun. It’s time for a new pair of sunglasses but you don’t know how to choose the best shades for your face. Or maybe you decided to skip buying new shades altogether. Don’t be that guy or gal without shades, squinting, as you walk around in the hot sun. Eyes barely open. That’s the worst! And not comfortable. More importantly, no need to contribute to the making of those fine lines around your eyes because you’ve spent months squinting at the...
