Here are some additional tips for living a soulful life:
This bettering yourself is developing a consistency of holding your power. ✨
It's Habits. When you feel a little satisfaction the law of attraction will move quickly, it comes from one place and one place only moving in the direction that you desire!
.
Never do what you don't want to do! 😃 It's a vibration reality. You know what you want and when it's calling you and your moving in that direction and not doing the opposite. Maybe you meditate, make a list of it, waking up in a higher vibration doesn't matter. When you have no resistance to what's calling you you will receive that inspiration from your highest Self!
.
.
To others might seem like “ this person just believing in what they say”. And people say it's not fair you receive things easily.
☺️
When you listen to your instincts when these thoughts turn into things, you will let the law of attraction of your decision.
.
. 😃 Just feel satisfied & bliss in aww with all things & you will get into the receiving mode!
.
.
The universe is beyond your physical reality.
" The Universe does this thing where it aligns you with people, things, and situations that match your vibration. The higher you're vibrating, the more you will attract things that are beneficial to your wellbeing. "
]]>The temptation of instant gratification and quick results offered by skincare products filled with chemicals is surely undeniable, but choosing all-natural products will be better for your skin in the long run. The latter offers the nutritional benefits of the natural ingredients that can nourish and moisturize your skin and promote its health.

Pick up a bottle of your favorite “non-natural” body wash and read its label. We bet you cannot recognize a majority of the ingredients. Natural products, on the other hand, are made of, as the name suggests, natural ingredients that are derived from plants and other naturally occurring sources. For instance, our shea butter is loaded with the goodness of fatty acids and essential vitamins derived from the nut of the shea tree.
Since all-natural skincare products do not use any type of harsh chemicals or even artificial fragrances, they are less likely to be allergenic. They also do not cause any irritation or inflammation. Even if you do experience an allergic reaction, it will be easy to identify which natural ingredient caused it, whether it is a fruit or a nut

I typically have a pretty clear vision in my mind of how I wanted things done. It just felt more comfortable doing it myself, rather than trying to explain what I was looking for and then have to fix it all when it invariably would end up falling short. This may sound like a control freak, and I probably was. I thought that a high level of perfectionism was serving me well all those years. Lately, during this COVID19 epidemic, I started feeling different. It could just be I have more on my palate than I am physically capable of accomplishing, but whatever the reason enough is enough.
I no longer feel the need to do it all. I couldn't see it until recently, but this wasn't just about work being done or too much to fast; in fact, the two really couldn't be separated. I wouldn't have admitted this before, but I think I was scared of what I would be left with if I stopped doing it all.
I was terrified I might get bored or what I might hear of If I paused long enough to listen to my inner thoughts.
Fear is such a liar. The first time in a long time when I took the time to listen, 7yrs ago I received clarity on the things I am most passionate about and started a business.
I've been holding on to so much for too long. lost the energy to savor the moments.
During this time of quiet and rest, it became clear to me my strength and passion. I love to curated lifestyle must-have essentials, that's my magic my buying skills what i bring to the Fashion & Retail industry, that's my lane, I am the buyer for Fason De Viv. "The Merchandiser."
For a long time, I took pride in doing it all. I thought that pride was confidence, but it was unknown insecurity. I am no longer going to fall into the trap of believing that I need to be the best at everything I am learning how to let others run-in their lanes while I stick with mines. I am the buyer and visual merchandiser for a Global Online Curated Marketplace, stocking the world's dope Independent brands under one roof.
It's hard to describe the confidence that comes with owning that and flourishing in your light. For me, faith knows that's enough. Let go of control! 😃
Always ask the universe for help, and more, the right people will #showup.

Coping Mechanisms & Things to Remember
Coping with anxiety is something hundreds of Americans deal with on a daily basis long before this global pandemic.
This isn’t permanent. Things will be normal again. Maybe a new normal, but normal nonetheless. Seek out the positive and try to focus on that.
Limit your news intake. The news can sometimes be disheartening and a direct detriment to your mental state. Put a cap on how much news you watch and/or read. You can stay informed and still limit the amount of emotional stress you take on. Anxiety often comes from what we ingest. Understanding what sends you spiraling is the first step towards protecting yourself from it.
Look towards the future. Plan for life after social distancing and COVID-19. Planning for the future is inherently positive. Moreover, accepting and standing firm in the fact that there is a future will help you think beyond the now.
Start with gratitude. Begin each day thankful. Starting each morning with a positive mind frame can work wonders when being constantly faced with anxiety. Don’t allow your day to begin before you start by appreciating the fact that you have another day. Make it a practice to start each day speaking out loud who or what you’re grateful for. It’s a shockingly effective task.
Did you catch Fason De Viv’s @shopify Instagram takeover ? ICYMI, check out the @shopify page for our posts. We had a blast sharing the FDV story and engaging with so many awesome people from around the world. Thank you so much @shopify for the amazing opportunity! 😊️
We feature our independent business owners here all the time but it’s usually us ~showing~ you their stories. So today we’re handing our Insta over to Zen, founder of @fasondeviv to take you through her journey as an independent business owner 💚.
Hello, beautiful people! I’m Zen, founder of Fason De Viv. “Fason De Viv”, or "lifestyle" in Haitian Creole, is a brand for the confident, free-thinking woman, who is excited by the world around her. By embracing a holistic approach to the way of life.
Fason De Viv is a curated marketplace that sells the best independent fashion, jewelry, accessories, home decor, art, and beauty brands geared toward the conscious consumer.
We entered the fashion industry with a simple motto: Self-love. Although our business model has evolved, our values remain the same. We are committed to empowering women through fashion & living life with authentic style. —both our customers and the FDV team.
Fason De Viv is more than a women’s apparel boutique. We are a community of conscientious, self-made fashion merchandisers, designers, and stylists and we've made it our mission to provide a platform for Independent Brands to thrive. Every purchase also supports independent entrepreneurs seeking to infuse the world with beauty, hope, and holistic lifestyle choices.
As a single mother, I was happy with being in the medical field and a good-paying job, but I wasn't happy. Life felt too routine and I wanted to increase my income and the freedom to do what I love.
I remember attending my son's preschool and the teacher gave me a compliment.
“You’re always wearing something unique.”
That triggered a light bulb moment! 💡
I've been getting compliments like this my whole life and realized I should open my own store.
My journey of becoming an entrepreneur was my curiosity for retail, how to open/operate a retail store and finding out where the products come from.
I started doing research and became a New York buyer. I learned the retail trade in 2012 by helping a friend with visual merchandising and inventory purchasing and management for a t-shirt store. Then in 2014, I opened my own women's apparel boutique in West Philly called "The A-List Look," followed by a relocation to Old City in 2015.
In 2016, I decided to rebrand The A-List Look. I changed my business name to Fason De Viv and began highlighting clothes designed by myself and my mother along with other local brands. We had a lot of success but in early 2017, I took another leap of faith. I closed my store to focus on developing a new online-only business model.
Owning a business? Easier said than done. In the first year of running my business; I ran out of money. I had to ask my parents for small loans just to purchase inventory. I am still learning how to balance wearing the hat of CEO and being a full-time team member.
The lowest moment in business was during a period of construction near my store. The 🚧 construction blocked my business from both corners which slowed down walk-in traffic, and also cash flow. The landlord didn't want to negotiate rent and I had no choice but to close our retail store.
Hiring can also be difficult and very time-consuming. Being an independent business owner means I get to create jobs and hire single mothers and teach them the skills and independence working in tech 👩💻.
Some of the biggest ✨Black Girl Magic✨ moments throughout my entrepreneurial journey were meeting some of the Queens who inspire me most (like when @tessamaethompson came into our store 😱).
I love making women feel and look beautiful. Selecting beautiful garments and essentials to fit her holistic lifestyle and creating content that inspires and motivates our Queendom (our Subscribers). The secret to great style is to feel good & look good. Always dress like it’s the best day of your life! 💚
~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~
Behind this smile are frustration, fear, confusion, confidence, energy, and level up growth. Sometimes you have to reflect.
Looking back I wouldn’t change anything. Yes, I wish i stood my ground when the big construction company came and distorted our retail experience without offering any consideration.
This entrepreneurial experience taught me my strength. It taught me there is no limit to what we, as women, can accomplish.
Being a buyer for Fason De Viv is definitely a dream come true. Each brand we carry has an authentic story, how they started, why they started, and what gave them the courage to bring their dope creative ideas to the marketplace. We select each brand by asking ourselves ”WHY” and I believe in good craftsmanship and supporting the local economy. Every purchase supports another independent entrepreneur.
Thank you for tuning in today! Follow me @fasondeviv to stay close 💚.

Affirmation "I am my greatest hero." That is really where it starts. We must believe in who we are and what we do.
We must look up to and trust ourselves to make it through the difficulties knowing that we can. Only we can truly appreciate and celebrate our own success. We and equipped and capable of getting to where we want to be. If we have any doubts, we can always hold our own hands.

And be grateful that you've been given the extraordinary gift of time. Time to know what you love so you can love how you live.

Beating yourself up is totally unproductive. When you feel overwhelmed, silencing the voices in your head is the best place to start. It may take longer than you expect to quell your in-house critics, but when the silence descends, clarity will emerge.

Re-program Your Subconscious Mind
All your habits of thinking and acting are stored in your subconscious mind.
It has memorized all your comfort zones and it works to keep you in them.
Your subconscious mind causes you to feel emotionally and physically uncomfortable whenever you attempt to do anything new or different. It goes against changing any of your established patterns of behavior.
You can feel your subconscious pulling you back toward your comfort zone each time you try something new. Just thinking about doing something different from what you’re accustomed to will make you feel tense and uneasy.

]]>Wow! Did You Know? Beads play a huge part in some African cultures. Meanings behind African beads include pride, beauty, culture, power, and identity. During the slave trade, Africans were sold in exchange for beads #SMFH
]]>Purpose; Women of all ages and sizes wear waist beads! ... Traditionally worn under clothes by African women, waist beads have several different meanings. Ranging from rites of passage to seducing your husband to healing, rejuvenation and The art of adorning one's self has been practiced since the beginning of time.
In West Africa, the tradition was made popular by the Yoruban tribe of Nigeria. They are worn as a celebration of womanhood, sexuality, femininity, fertility, healing, spirituality, body shaping, protection and wealth. ... Waist beads can be considered as “African Lingerie.”
Because of the rainbow of colors embedded in them, Mali wedding beads signify beauty to tribes in South Africa. They are given to brides on their wedding day. Stone and metal beads are the most durable. African people also make beads out of natural materials like stone, bone, hell, wood, amber, and glass.

In the 21st century, African people continue to use and wear beads for cultural recognition, status, and adornments.
The Formation of The Beads
In a traditional sense, the person making your waist beads is usually a spiritual person. The beads, shells, stones, and other things that may go on your waist are picked and placed with the intention of something or something very specific. The beads a woman wears for her husband will be vastly different from the ones a young girl wears into her transition into womanhood. The trend of waist beads has become very modernized but traditionally, the potency and power of a woman’s beads as it relates to spirituality and development were very specific and intentional. Like the Colors and Meaning. The colors of the beads also have very specific significations. These meanings may vary from tribe to tribe, culture to culture, and they’re open to interpretation, but traditionally:

Red: self-confidence, vitality, sexual energy, passion, courage, strength.

So now that you have all of this information, you’re probably wondering where you can get some waist beads. Well, I got you!
Smudging is an ancient and sacred practice that can be traced back to ancient Egypt and Smudging has been common among Native American tribes for over 2,000 years to not only cleanse negative energy but negative spirits as well. Many different religions and other spiritual followings now practice similar smudging rituals as well.
Smudging is primarily used to cleanse a physical space, but you can also smudge your own aura, or another person if needed. If you’ve gone through something emotionally difficult or spiritually troubling, smudging can help clear your own spiritual center and give you the space to heal.
You’ve probably heard of burning sage in a new home to clear out old energy and make way for the new energy, but it’s so much more than that. Even happy homes can accumulate negative vibrations, just like people, need positive clearing every once in a while.
10 things you need to know when smudging:
Spring my favorite season, Time to clean out the old and embrace new energy, but it’s still cold so that means you’re probably like me – cooped up inside and still too cold out to open the windows, but I bet you’ve got some major winter piles stocked up: paper, blankets, laundry that needs doing, winter dust that has settled in.

I've been keeping a journal for the last 9 years of my life. Before then, it was hit or miss. I kept a journal for both my personal life and business life. But my real journaling adventure began a year after my first serious relationship ended.

Why Journaling is so important to self-discovery and also mental wellness.
#Friday night doing some soul searching and journaling. The beauty of being human is learning how to adapt to change. You will constantly learn new things about yourself. It’s a lifelong process.
knowing yourself isn’t as easy as it sounds, because we’re unsure of where to begin.
This is why these questions are helpful. It will serve as a starting point to self-discovery.
“Journaling is a pathway for joy and a powerful tool in the hands of love.”
Always carry a notebook. And I mean always. The short-term memory only retains information for three minutes; unless it is committed on paper or you can lose an idea forever.
I have used the discipline of keeping a journal to assist me in the pursuit of success. And I have come to clearly recognize and appreciate its importance.
Benefits of Keeping a Journal
clearly and makes our achievement appear closer.
2. A journal serves as a permanent record of our progress and accountability.Life /Goals can be quickly forgotten. And when it is, it becomes easy to get frustrated with our pursuit. As with any pursuit, there are times we may feel like we have not accomplished anything despite the invested effort and energy. During those moments, it is helpful to look back and be reminded of our past successes. Look back at your notes, or what you promise yourself. It’s okay! I call it self-check.
3. Writing requires us to think out our thoughts, our Emotions, why’s and really?
When we sit down behind a computer screen or our phones, it’s not the same feeling as a pen touching a sheet of paper as you begin to write out what we accomplished or want to accomplish during the day, the month or our Emotions. we are forced to think through our process on a deeper level. The discipline forces us to answer the difficult questions of “why,” “how,” or “why not?” The answers to these questions are not just helpful as we move forward but it repeats successes and avoids mistakes, and most most most importantly journaling is therapeutical ass well.

Discovering Your Authentic Self.
To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.
-Oscar Wilde
One of the surprises that comes when you catch glimpse of your authentic self is the discovery that she’s such a positive, upbeat woman. She’s always smiling. She’s always calm. She’s always reassuring. She exudes confidence. Who is the woman, you might ask, and does she bear any resemblance to you?
Yes and no. This is who you are on the inside. The real you. If you don’t act this way all the time, It’s simply because you haven’t evolved to a higher plane of existence yet. Neither have I. Marianne Williamson believes this will come when we “embrace the goddess” who resides within. “When a woman falls in love with the magnificent possibilities within herself, the forces that would limit those possibilities hold less and less sway over her.
,” she writes in A Woman’s Worth…..But occasionally we get glimmers of what it’s like on this higher plane: on a good-hair day; when we’ve had twelve hours of sleep; when we soar through a business meeting, thoroughly prepared; when we fit into last year clothing; when we throw a great party and everyone enjoys themselves immensely. When moments like these occur, we tend to think that all’s right with the world.
Everything just fell into place. What we don't realize is all is all right with ourselves. We’re in the flow of life and loving it.
We’re in place: that special alignment when authenticity and reality merge into wholeness. But how do we tap into the spiritual energy source more often? How do we access the flow of life more frequently? How do we learn to live at full throttle?
Meditation helps. So do long walks, soaks in scented bubble baths, washing our hair a day before it needs it, smiling at everyone we meet, being more gentle with ourselves, watching a sunrise or a sunset, petting an animal, playing with a child, having some small pleasure to look forward to every day, being grateful.
But above all, being open to change. Welcoming it. “Watch. Wait. Time with unfold and fulfill its purpose, “
Marianne Williamson advises. “While we wait, we must not go unconscious. We must think and grow. Rejoice and dream, but kneel and pray. There is holiness in the air today; we are giving birth to goddesses. They are who we are, for they are us:
Friends, therapists, artists, businesswomen, “teachers, healers, mothers. Start laughing, girls. We have a new calling”. #haha

Like everyone, there are definitely moments when you feel the need to indulge yourself in some quality time alone -- completely alone. You won't feel at all lonely while you're at it, either. You may be able to get it all in just one evening. Say, tonight, for example. Sit down with your scrapbook, photo album or whatever else reminds you of 'the good old days' and allow yourself to reminisce. Just be sure you have some tissues handy, and remember: The best is yet to come.
