Empathy is the one thing that our society needs; that we are begging for and instead of really trying to understand each other,  we are starting to increase our judgement of each other without trying to understand the perspective, resulting in a major divide in our world; when really, we need to come together and fight injustice(s) & create a new way of life together. ​​

From my research, I have learned that we are all confused and don't know what or who to believe. For example, we don't know what to eat , what diets to follow, how to be the healthiest we can be- but the one thing we all have in common is that we know our food is poison. But what are we doing about it? What can help us get to the facts, are there technologies that can help us track where EXACTLY our food comes from? Is there an AI we can build that tells us what's real and what's not? It's crazy to think that we have even started to judge and create divides amongst each other based off of what foods we eat. 

Even though there is technology that can help us, we choose not to use it for multiple reasons: 1. because it is not trustworthy, 2. we don't know how & unfortunately for us, technologists don't know how to effectively give it to us. We are lacking empathy on both sides of the equation. 

Imagine if we could just ask for what we want, someone could easily build it for us.. for our needs AND we could just trust it? This is what I envision for our future. Taking control of technologies, instead of technologies controlling us.

Once we start to realize that the seed of change is empathizing with each other, the ability to create will come easily & something we can trust.

When fashion bloggers first started I remembered reading so many of the females that I loved and adored used their boyfriends or significant others to take pictures of their outfits. As a blogger you always want your pictures to be high quality and visually appealing but unless you have someone who is willingly able to do that it's difficult!
For that reason I am blessed enough to A. have a friend who is able to take my pictures and B. BLESSED to have a photographer on payroll
Additionally, you want to be able to have a good amount of outfits and posts for the month so usually in one shot I am taking at least 4 outfits. I used to only shoot 2 outfits & I have upped it to 4 outfits because it simply wasnt enough content for a month between instagram & the blog. 
Another large challenge is to actually change in the different outfits. I learned quickly that unless you have a method to how you pack your clothes, accessories, make up etc it's really difficult and confusing! Usually we go into a restaurant and use their bathrooms but don't be fooled I get a lot of whispers like "did she just change' laughs and all that. You really have to have thick skin! 

I hope to empower/inspire people who believe they are "non-creative" to start creating again. Creativity is our most basic instinct and now it has been boxed into just certain arenas. I show my creativity through my outfits... but ultimately even with the fashion line I am not a designer by study. I do not draw, I had no idea of what the process was before I got a business manager. 
Additionally, the clothing industry and the sizes makes me a little angry because before clothing sites like fashion nova it was extremely difficult to find clothes that fit for curvy girls, especially at an affordable price. I want to share with the world where I find my clothes and that all body types can have their own style.. and through my fashion line I want to be able to disrupt fashion norms as they stand today. 

And this is why tongue scraping is important. I know, I know most of you are probably saying, "well I brush my tongue" but this is different. You can actually SEE the mucus and bacteria coming off of your tongue. It's kind of gross but kind of like a reality check too. 

It's also prevents cavities because it gets rid of all the bacteria in your mouth. I have a lot of cavities too, so I know when my teeth start to feel bad.
Ever since I started scraping this year, it's been a multitude of difference in my mouth......... like it ACTUALLY feels better and more clean! I know, its nuts & maybe unbelievable but I'm kind of mad that I didn't try this sooner. 
Another thing, you know how it feels weird to eat an orange after you brush? This will take it away completely-- that  nasty minty fresh goes away within seconds of scraping. ​

I say.. once you scrape you can't go back! I urge you to try it out -- I have linked the picture above to an amazon buy page. 
Let me know how it goes!

If you guys follow me on instagram, you know that I AM OBSESSED with this outfit, it is sprinkled all over my feed! 
My friend took me into Uniqlo for the first time ever and I was super impressed by their spring and summer collection. 
The most shocking thing was most definitely the price point of everything in their store!
