Man's Best Friend
Rocky is the funniest and laziest dog Ive ever met, he spends most of his day sleep on my bedroom couch and barking at whoever comes near the front door, a fake watch dog if you will.
Word of the Day
Eudaimonia - Greek word translates to happiness or welfare; however; “Human flourishing or prosperity” and “blessedness” have been proposed as more accurate translations. “The Highest Good” as explained by Aristotle in his Nicomachean Ethics.
3rd Annual Zelf on the Shelf!
Extremely proud of my cuzzo Azel Prather Jr., he’s hosting his third annual “Zelf on a Shelf” this Friday along with a self care day for his KIPP students where Barbers, Beauticians, and nail techs are coming into the school to give the kids makeovers for christmas! Last year he raised enough money through social media to get gifts for 340 students at his school. Surpassing the 26 kids he actually teaches. Zel was also featured on channel 9 News this passed weekend giving him even more of a spotlight for his The Prather Foundation and what he does everyday for those kids.
Ugly Xmas Sweater SZN
Yesterday I had the pleasure of creating a Ugly Sweater for my Good men Nick and Hoffa of Stamped Mob. They throw lit ass functions every month so I usually get to print customs for them all the time. This instance was just hilarious because on one hand I have creative free will to create for Nick, and on the other I got Hoffa getting me to create possibly the funniest ugly sweater I’ve ever seen! Ill let you guys be the judge of that though.
Flashback Friday
Two years ago this week I graduated from Mastered as a Fashion Stylist! Seems just yesterday I was hustlin for tuition each month and complaining about the lack of classmates in the area. Being in an online program that had you do group projects with people coming from two n three states away is a task in itself. All in all it was a great experience and I wouldn’t trade the knowledge gained for anything. The biggest plus of being a Mastered Alumni is the network of talent that you can still contact and connect with, as well as the star studded group of instructors that we learned from.
