#GodsGirlsBrunch//001 – Bigger than me.

Wow, it’s literally been about 5 days since I hosted my first #GodsGirlsBrunch. Let me just say that this post is for me because I love to look back on what God did, but I do hope you truly see how great God is as you read this post.

As everyone socialized and exchanged contact information for the last 25 minutes of my event, Nissi (blogger and founder of podcast My Strength and My Shield) came up to me and asked me “Can I ask you something? Do you think this (this=speaking and throwing an event such as this) comes natural to you?

My short answer is No.

You see, it took me a while to get out my comfort zone. I started my YouTube Channel my senior year of high school and my blog my first year of college. I barely shared my content and was always fearful of what people thought of me.  No one except close friends at the time knew about my blog or YT channel. As time went by I actually had falling outs with people because of jealousy and envy of how driven and motivated I was. Therefore I started hiding who I was because simply it made people upset and uncomfortable. It was a constant prayer that I would not be moved by peoples opinions. I truly think that this year, I felt a HUGE supernatural shift.

I started sharing more of WHO I AM. Emari, a imperfect believer , a makeup lover who loves styles and to inspire people. At first, before being saved in 2014, my channel just consist of the things I loved- Fashion and Makeup. When I got saved, I was so on fire for the Lord and wanted to of course incorporate my faith. It was then that I realized that my purpose was bigger than me. It was so uncomfortable coming out to friends and family that I was now saved, but I did it anyway.

Three years later, God is still working on my behind through the process of sanctification. He continues to strip me down of layers and layers of myself and continues to show me that I NEED HIM to get anything done out here in these streets!

Back in November of 2017, God implanted this vision of #GodsGirlsBrunch. Women will get together monthly and be filled by the Word of God, cultivate relationships and encourage one another. I was scared to act out on it and prayed to make sure that this was a desire from Him because if it wasn’t I don’t want any parts lol! As months with by, God provided literally everything. An event planner, a photographer, down to the scriptures we actually studied.

All it took was a posture of obedience, trust in Him, and a receptive heart. You don’t have to be any perfect being to be used by God. I am a imperfect being, sister, friend, yet God still used me. If we ever wait until we are perfect, we will never feel freedom.

So, no this did not come natural, but God gave me such freedom and peace about this event. He allowed me to speak His TRUTH as the ladies and I discussed #ActiveFaith. I cannot give any praise to myself that I feel the freedom I feel, but it was a constant prayer that I will be released from people bondage. I pray that if this is your current situation, you continue to pray and watch what God will do. I will never feel comfortable speaking, but reliance on Him makes everything better.

Just remember these two things:

  1. You will never please everyone. You cannot be everything to everyone.
  2. Nobody ever changed the world by worrying about people’s opinions of them.

Thank you for everyone who came. I pray this event continues to happen as He leads me <3.

Love y’all!,

SoulStyleBeauty <3

Hey y’all 💕💐! It’s May…also Mental Hea Hey y’all 💕💐! It’s May…also Mental Health Awareness Month!

It has definitely taken some time for me to find out what "self care" truly means to me. While wellness is a trend on social media, I really hope that we are really taking care of ourselves when needed. I love to see black women taking care of themselves and moving with ease. 

- * Healthy Habits in my Routine -
1. Journaling: Journaling can be so freeing. I use my journals to stamp things during therapy, during Bible study or just to mind dump. 
2. Eating Balanced Meals: I feel like there isn't enough importance on how vital eating nutritious foods are. Trust, I love my feel good foods, but at my big age I know food plays a part in so many ways. It’s about balance. 
3. Movement: The positive effects of moving my body has made my healing journey so much more intimate with myself. Movement is truly my second form of therapy.
4. Rest: I used to feel guilty resting from anything, but sometimes it’s totally needed. Step away to prioritize the important things: relationship with god, making those appointments (so important), having those conversations, feeling your emotions (still working on this) and just diving into real community vs. social media. Our work/productivity is not our worth. It’s okay to step away.
5. Unlearning and Learning: Whether it’s gods pruning process or realizations, unlearning and learning is important. It’s truly the only way to grow beyond what you’ve learned/know. Address the uncomfortable habits, feel the uncomfortable feelings, educate yourself on the things that matter. It will be life changing for you and your lineage.

As I get older, I become more intentional about my As I get older, I become more intentional about my choices and what to prioritize. One being, my health. Consistency is important, but for the right reasons. Here’s what helps me be consistent:

💪🏾 I no longer have a specific body goal. I focus on strength (physical and mental). I always say the gym is my second form of therapy lol. 

💪🏾 All movement counts. All workouts don’t have to be super high impact, but enjoyable.

💪🏾 Involving my husband. We’ve both been in the gym and I love that we can both share things about our journey. Helps us bond.

💪🏾 Showing myself grace. All days won’t be perfect, but showing up matters 

💪🏾 Don’t use the scale as a monitor. I don’t monitor my weight at all because getting stronger also leads to muscle gain. The scale may go up, but you appear more toned. This may trigger you and lead to you giving up. Don’t pay any mind to it.

So this first impressions video was taken over a m So this first impressions video was taken over a month ago, but I’ve been loving the @cosrx Snail Essence. I’m usually hesitant when trying new skincare products, but after doing research I wanted to try it! 

First off, what is a Essence?
An Essence is a water-based skin care product that contains a high content of active ingredients. These actives hydrate, protect, and boost the overall health of skin.

An Essence should be applied to damp skin. When essence is applied to clean skin after using a cleanser and toner, it helps restore hydration to the skin cells. When it’s applied before serums and moisturizers, it helps the skin better absorb these products.

Either way is fine. I love this Essence because it has helped with hydration, skin texture and hyperpigmentation. I love it! Have you tried this product?

Even though I don’t believe pain is a prerequisite for growth, there are times where God uses struggles and hardships to correct us. Brings us out of something we don’t have no business in 😂. And, there are times when we're simply being given an opportunity for growth—being "trained" into a deeper faith.

It sucks sometime, but it’s all about perspective.
A little vitamin sea and D does the body good. 🌊☀️🌱
in my fitness girl era - saying no, setting bounda in my fitness girl era - saying no, setting boundaries, prioritizing my goals etc.
Things that have helped me be consistent:

✨Being okay with missing out: Honestly, no fomo here. At all.
✨ Recognizing Distractions: Putting your head down and worrying about your journey is the most peaceful thing. Build that awareness of controllable things that has your time + attention. 
✨ Set realistic and sustainable goals: If you cannot make it to workout 5 days a week, do 2. Work your way up. 
✨ Showing myself GRACE: progress over perfection. Showing up to do things that will evolve me physically and mentally is enough. Progress.
✨ Celebrating yourself: Self validation is very important. Get good with celebrating your wins. Value yourself over the outside accolades. 
✨Getting good with systems: My therapist always says, if something goes wrong don’t criticize yourself. Always check your systems. Making lifestyle changes is all about systems (taking vitamins, fitness, meal prepping, grocery list, etc). How do you seamlessly make that apart of your lifestyle and cut out the barriers?
✨ Balanced Living: Still doing/eating things that I enjoy, but having balance is key.

I’m definitely a balanced eater which means sometimes I eat for nourishment and sometimes I strictly eat what taste amazing(the foodie in me). Having a balanced diet def. helps me feel my best.
