5 Simple Tips to Survive Valentine’s Day

02/11/2016

Valentine’s Day is one of the few holidays that people either really love or really hate.

There are those who rightfully preach the message of showing love every day of the year. Then there are the people like me who see nothing wrong with having an extra day to be pampered and loved on even more.

If you can identify with that second category of people AND you’re single then chances are you’ve probably wished you could skip the month of February altogether.

With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching (3 days for those who are counting) I’ve decided to share my 5 simple tips to help you survive this Valentine’s Day!

Unashamed and Unfiltered: One-on-One With Anesha Collins

02/03/2016

With terms like “boss chick” or “boss” becoming the new standard for female empowerment and success, it’s always refreshing to see women who aren’t conforming to the world’s standards; women like Anesha Collins, the CEO of Unashamed Imaging.

Originally from Staten Island, New York, Anesha has deservingly become one of Florida’s rising stars in the field of visual media.

She is a published and award winning photographer and cinematographer.

Her portfolio ranges from the modern-day family or person to well-known clients like the NFL Corporation, Nina Sky, and Martha Munizzi to name a few.

Her company is also listed as a preferred vendor for various premiere venues.

While Anesha could easily brag about her bossness (let’s pretend that’s a word), she’s one of the most humble and down to earth women you’ll meet.

I recently caught up with Anesha to chat about life and of course business. Check out our interview below to meet the brain behind the brand, Unashamed Imaging.

If your social media timeline and news feeds are anything like mine, then you already know what season we’re in.

Holiday gatherings and New Year celebrations have ushered us into the what used to be one of my least favorite time of the year, ENGAGEMENT SEASON.

For those who may be unfamiliar with the term, engagement season is the time period between Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day. It’s during this particular stretch of the year where almost 40% of engagements occur.

Seeing photos, videos, and those most delightful relationship status updates plastered all over my social networks used to be a painful reminder of just how SINGLE I am.

It’s not that I wasn’t happy for my friends.

I was just tired of feeling like the ONLY ONE without a happily ever after.

That feeling of longing combined with my impatience rarely led to anything good.

My feelings are probably the reason why I ended up in so many bad relationships. (If you haven’t done so already, be sure to check out 7 Types of Guys You Should NEVER Date or Marry…Part 1 to see exactly what I’m talking about.)

Trust me, I know how easy it is to get discouraged by the tide wave of images you see on social media.

But before you make any rash decisions this engagement season, check out the final three types of guys you should never date or marry. Continue reading

The Best Gift Ever!

12/18/2015

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” – Isaiah 9:6 (KJV)

It’s supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year.

Holiday parties. Family gatherings. Spending time with close friends and loved ones.

And of course, presents!

For many of us Christmas wouldn’t be complete without the giving and receiving of gifts.

But gifting can be tricky.

Let me preface this by saying I am not a love guru or love expert. I am however an ex-serial dater, and have experienced more than my share of failed relationships.

In retrospect, much of my heartache and disappointments could have been avoided had I not entertained some of the men that came my way.
