Recognizing the energy each new year brings, especially at the closing of an entire decade with 2020, I thought it best as the year comes to an end to take some time and reflect on goals, experiences and lessons learned. I brought a lot of undue stress into my life, flailing, trying to find a place for my ego to rest comfortably. but I will say that my ultimate intention is to grow up and outward in ways that will reach many sectors, different audiences and spread the essence of what RaJean means across the country and even the world abroad! But if at some point in my life I manage to find my peace and stand up in who I truly am, others will eventually find this and appreciate just what it means.

But think of how bold and straight forward of an individual one likely is to just take their coffee straight black!? Thinking of all the other people in my life who take their coffee straight black. There are very few if any more than literally one person I can think of that may POSSIBLY add a little “tap tap” of each. So whether you love straight black, a quick “tap tap”, Hazelnut-Cinnamon Vanilla with a dollop of ice cream, or you loathe coffee all together (and thus probably prefer

This particular post idea came to me immediately after a phone call I received regarding my most recent Facebook post. It was a picture of me in a blue dress and some bad ass high heels standing in downtown Cincinnati. In which case we tend to think that our opinion is valuable to people outside of ourselves. most times people bold enough to share their opinion on something they’ve never attempted are highly likely to not have much else to offer beyond their opinion.

I attended an event centered around Black Mental Health the other day at the newly opened blaCk Coffee Lounge, Downtown Cincinnati. but I can say in my own experience, much of the negative feedback loop that plays on repeat in my mind comes from internalizing the expectations placed on me in certain roles that I so happen to be in. I am learning that my personal mental health is disturbed when I shy away from any of these traits and try to conform to the roles others have placed on me. A recent “Aha” moment was given to me when my ‘Person’ said, “You’ve been telling yourself the same bullshit others have told you for far longer than anyone else has.

The small moments when The Spirit speaks, rather through a random encounter, or a constant noticing of the numbers 33/333 giving glimpses of sweet and ever-present salvation. The reason I am currently in another state taking a moment to pause and breathe before I get back home and go harder than I’ve ever gone before. We need you guys to know how much it matters that you all share our page and videos, leave us reviews, bomb mentions in your IG stories and tell all your friends to tell their friends to hit me up so I can come through with the backpack and save yet another dry soul!! I am declaring that we will not be shaken and RaJean Beauty will continue to rise and serve all you amazing Beauties!

To those who I’ve told the story about the conception of RaJean Beauty , know that on my 30th birthday I said I wanted 2-3 additional streams of revenue by 31. I made that decision, committed to the process and RaJean Beauty became the 1st additional stream of revenue outside of my regular 9-5 corporate job! As 31 got closer and closer, I began to get on myself about the fact that RaJean was only the 1st endeavor when I’d given myself a goal of 2-3. We make regular trips out of the city to backpack and have even been offered the opportunity to vend at some events.

Fast forward a couple weeks and this young lady is sitting in my Airbnb, in Cincinnati, being mic’d up to speak with me on camera about my brand and my products!! But the highlight of my entire backpacking experience yesterday was being sent to a plaza that is completely owned and run by black people. BBQ grills out on the sidewalk near one food place, people hanging out near their cars, talking laughing, everyone spoke. To end the night I ran a contest to help boost our app DLs up to 100 as that was the goal by the end of this week.

RaJean Beauty apps went live this past week on both the App Store and Google Play Store!! Now it’s possible for anyone to easily order from anywhere and shipping is only $5 or free on orders over $40!! I really only mean my boyfriend who wears multiple hats such as Business Advisor, Videographer [peep the promo video on the app], Film director, Coordinator, Liaison, PR rep… and now App Developer…. Anyway, this app now gives RaJean Beauty the ability and opportunity to have its own multimedia platform for communication with my amazing customers on a unique level!

I can vividly remember as a little girl, my mother would sit in her bed after a bath and mix her Vaseline, Cocoa butter, lotion, Aloe Vera and Vitamin E cream. The love and attention that goes into each batch of butter and scrub is sent right back to me every time I walk into one of the shops with my butters and those who’ve experienced my products for themselves tell others how much they need it! I get to tell people all about the benefits of Shea Butter and hear stories of how people’s skin has been repaired and rejuvenated. I’m humbled and honored to engage with real people, make real connections and help real issues

We must speak calmly, keep our neck still, tone down the sway in our hips, hold our opinions, reassure those around us that we are not offended, and still prove that as women, period, we have just as much right to be in any room as any man! I know we like to picture candle lit bubble baths, chocolate, perhaps binge watching your favorite Netflix series or just sleeping all day. And as I stated in my last post, unlearning all those things that keep us running the hamster wheel and hinder our free-thinking and exploration can and most likely will be physically painful. Be sure to exfoliate with your favorite RaJean Beauty Natural Sugar Scrub, and then treat your skin to the creamy, Scented, Hand-whipped Shea Butter before you eat that chocolate and climb in bed.
