Today is the Official Launch Day for DUO MODERN, our curated lifestyle online store! It’s October, but it feels like Christmas morning! Michael and I are beyond excited to announce the launch of DUO MODERN. We did hit a few bumps in the road—our payment system was stuck in “Test Mode” for six hours, which meant that 31 eager customers couldn’t place their orders. But I trust that everything happens for a reason, and those amazing supporters will be back later today. I know God has us covered.

Launching this store has been a dream of ours for so long, but the timing was never quite right—until now. Just last month, my 5-year position was dissolved, and suddenly, I have the time to fully focus on running the store and creating new designs. Of course, I’m still working with my wonderful Reiki clients, too.
We hope you love all the trendy and fun designs we’ve worked so hard on. And this is just the beginning—there’s so much more to come! We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has stopped by DUO MODERN and shown us love and support. It means the world to us. Namaste 🙏🏾📿🙌🏾🫶🏾🤎
Lately, I been spending a lot of time grounding on the beach. At least 3 times a week walking barefoot in the sand. I always noticed how well I felt when I was on the beach. In the morning my body is like the tin man, I’m so stiff and achy that it takes some time for my body to warm up. But 15 mins in on the beach, I find my body starts to feel good, I’m actually running around. No pain, no discomfort of any sort not even wheezing. On my beach days, I also noticed at night that my husband doesn’t need to tap my back. The inflammation in my back and on my wrist seem to go down and I sleep all night. The next morning, I wake up early and feel well rested. I’m seeing a pattern of this and decided to do some research.
When you have auto immune diseases like myself, I have 4 of them, you will understand when I say we’re always looking for ways to heal our bodies. In what I found I was experiencing is called Grounding and I went in hard wanting to know everything about it.
Grounding is also called earthing, and it’s a therapeutic technique that involves you doing activities that electrically reconnect you to the earth. Activities like walking barefoot, being in water, laying on the ground, and using grounding equipment. I haven’t purchased any because of my beach access here in Hawaii.
The great thing about Grounding is it’s free! You don’t have to order it online you don’t have to go to a luxe spa to receive this service. You can just walk out your door to the mailbox barefoot. You can go in your yard and just step on the grass. If you live near a beach you can go in walk around. It’s great for babies and kids. Get them out of those hard shoes and let their little feet run around free. Watch how relax they will be when they go inside. Definitely helps with crying. Give your body 30 mins barefoot and watch how well you feel. If you want to do it longer definitely go for it.
I just wanted to share this information because I found so much relief from it. If you’re reading this please share it with someone who’s dealing with any auto immune diseases, chronic pains and any other stress or anxiety issues. I think I want to do my sessions with my clients on the beach to help them as we go deep in conversations. This technique can help calm them.
All black ancestors are my role models. I cannot Thank You enough for everything that you went through to allow me to be free. I hope I have not let any of you down. I will continue to move with dignity so you can be proud.
Everyone is concern for Chris Rock and what this did to the Oscar’s on Sunday night. Let me get this out the way, violence shouldn’t be on TV but we see it in TV shows, on movies and its happening in real life. 😂😂😂 I’m not here for Will & Chris. I’m here to check on one person in that’s the real victim.
How is Jada handling everything?! So many of our peers struggle with depression and other mental issues. After Sunday night I’m wondering the same about Jada. Because she has an auto immune disease she can’t be stressing because it can lead to a flare up. I know about that very well. So while everyone is laughing and talking BS, I hope they can find it in their heart to stop talking negative about her and pray that she’s healing.❤️🩹

Doing 40%off is a great opportunity to check us out. We hope you give us a try, I know you want be disappointed.

Would love for you to chime in after listening to my podcast. Share how you feel and what do you think will happen with Erika Jayne. Will Bravo keep her on the show, will she get endorsements, will she go to jail?
Many know me from just doing makeup & hair but before this glam world I was in the music business with Bad Boy Entertainment, Arista Records and Tommy Boy Records.
Black Rob was one of my talents that I worked very closely with. He was the definition of a New York street guy but he was sweet, he was respectful, he had a great sense of humor and he loved his brown liquor. 😂 😂
One of my special memories was giving him a WHOA cake at House Of Blues in New Orleans. He had just finished performing his single WHOA, had the place jumping. And I wanted to do something special for him on stage. You know something he wouldn’t except. In that touched him you know. 😢 I have so many other great stories that I will always remember. 💔😢 Almost my brother in law. Thanks for adding New Orleans on “WHOA” it was everything to ME!!! 🙏🏾
Are you looking for a new highlighter that gives a beautiful and radiant glow? Well, I have one just for you. It’s from my makeup line, Entitled Beauty Cosmetics. It’s my favorite “Resting Bitch Face” and I paired it with “Pretentious” to warm up my skin. When I created “Resting Bitch Face” I first wanted it to have a name that would be iconic and I wanted it to be my Best Seller. I knew it would be an item that I would wear everyday and I wanted the color to brighten my face on my full cheeks. Because, I smile a lot I knew on my cheeks you would see that glow.

Putting On Resting Bitch Face Highlighter
Below you will find the highlighters & lipsticks colors that I have on. On my lips is another favorite from my All Nighter lip collection called, Yes Bitch” and “Gurl Bye” from the metallic collection. With “Yes Bitch” when I finally was able to apply it on at the lab, the first thing that came out my mouth after checking myself out was “YES BITCH” and I knew that was going to be the name. Because when my Entitled Babe also put it on they were going to say the exact same thing (lmao). So, that’s how I come about with naming my items.
