Today in #28DaysOfAce I want to get y’all ready for the spring/summer! The Sun has been out & beaming! Stay Covered with Black Girl Sunscreen
“Black Girl Sunscreen was designed to start the conversation around sun protection and education. BGS took the #1 reason Black women weren’t wearing sunscreen and solved it in a way that connected with them specifically. ��Our community matters and when it comes to melanoma, Black people have a lower survival rate due to late diagnosis compared to other races. Decreasing the risk of melanoma is just as important as decreasing the number of people that die from it, wearing sunscreen is essential. ��BGS has you looking good and feeling good by leaving no white cast through incorporating moisturizing ingredients that also protect your skin.”
We’ve all been there with the sunscreen that either does nothing for us or makes us look like somebody just sprayed baby powder over our skin. Well here’s a product F.U.B.U.
Get a tube for you & your child!

Today In #28DaysOfAce I would like to highlight another true creative - a person who is a one stop shop - Kiera Thomas
“Saynotofloozies was recently rebranded in 2021 to showcase more than just clothing. The term “No Floozies” is a self power & ability to have control over your life. Often times growing up, outside of the norm, I was often told what I should do & in turn left me unhappy. As I got older, I realized what I really wanted was different & more than what others wanted. So many supporters were created just off me being myself. I am big on community & family & wanted a brand to showcase that to the world. It’s “more than just a brand, it’s a lifestyle.” No matter size, race or gender, you deserve to control your own life.”
Just like in each of her items, she took an idea and made it physical! No Floozies+ products are seen EVERYWHERE throughout Oklahoma. From artwork, to apparel, to custom cups she has everything you can imagine and it’s all created with passion!
Take a moment to check out her work & order your next customs!

Take a moment to stop by her profile to see the diverse portfolio that she has! If you’re in the DFW & need an MUA, BOOK HER

Today in #28DaysOfAce I want to shout out a business that really doesn’t need an introduction 😋 but they will surely be seeing me next week! Lol The Real Aunt Irene's Kitchen
“Dresha, who was raised by her Aunt Irene, developed a passion for cooking by watching, helping and learning alongside her aunt. She inherited her aunt’s matriarchal title by keeping with her long tradition of bringing the family together over love-infused dishes.
Dresha’s motto, "We Don't Just Cook For You, We Cater To You!!!”’ reflects her passion to feature fresh, quality comfort food bursting with flavor. Her offerings include cajun seafood boils; most notably the #1 selling “Black Box” overflowing with succulent crab, shrimp, sausage, corn and potatoes; made to order fried fish and wings with a southern flare and amazing sides.”
My mouth is literally watering as I type this. I usually prefer seafood bag boils but honestly I can’t name another seafood spot that hits like Aunt Irene’s does! If you’re in Dallas I highly suggest you check them out!

Today in #28DaysOfAce I would like to highlight a business that I am surprised I wasn’t introduced to sooner (though I am still fairly new to DFW) - a gorgeous vintage stop: “Good Cycle Dallas was founded by Nikayla Golatt-Barrett in the fall of 2020. Birthed out of a pandemic, the brand has undergone many evolutions but serving the community has always been centered. The main shop showcases Nikayla’s curated collection of unisex vintage and secondhand apparel and accessories. In addition to the main shop, vintage curators are hosted in our adjoining space, Good Cycle Studio. Good Cycle is a place where people can feel safe, build meaningful relationships with others, and discover their own personal style.” One of the very first businesses that I originally highlighted during the beginning of #28DaysOfAce was a dope vintage shop in OKC. This place gives me so much nostalgia. I absolutely love the exclusivity of their collection process and that their goal is to provide authenticity. If you’re looking to add to your wardrobe collection - it’s time you stop by here!

Today in #28DaysOfAce I would like to highlight one of my FAVORITE restaurants since moving to Dallas- Jamaica Gates Caribbean Cuisine “A TASTE OF JAMAICA IN THE HEART OF TEXAS Getting tasty authentic jamaican food in Texas for a long time has been almost unheard of. Jamaica Gates has been a vision of Errol Byles since arriving in Dallas for college. Now Jamaica Gates is the only resturant in Arlington Texas serving authentic jamaican food. The resturant has been featured on the food networks popular hit tv food show diners and dive and most recently on ABC.” Listen, I go there so much they know me by NAME lol. Idk which is my favorite- the jerk chicken or the oxtails! Omg and their drinks! Baby that Rum Punch will knock you out! If you ever needed a little hot spot to try out, this is IT. They even have live music nights & special events every so often. I highly suggest you give them a try!

Today in #28DaysOfAce I would like to highlight a true inspiration & mentor! Ameerah Zarinah is truly making a dramatic impact one step at a time

Today in #28DaysOfAce I would like to highlight a photographer that brings a whole nother meaning to #WomanCrushWednesday Nivia Hanson Portraits
“Nivia Hanson Portraits is all about helping women in their 40s (and beyond) reconnect and reclaim their authentic sexy self-confidence through the beautiful art of Boudoir Photography.
Loving the skin you're in right now and owning your own beauty helps you develop an authentic confidence no one can take away.
Empowering women to be confident and excited about themselves, as they are right now, gives them the desire to do more and be more. You have the right to feel powerful, beautiful, amazing, and confident!
Our full boudoir sessions include hair and makeup styling, Client Closet access (includes props, robes, angel wings, and lingerie), 5+ standard sets, photo shoot with posing guidance and coaching for all body types, and full image retouching. This pampering, confidence boosting experience is like no other!!!
We truly want all women to believe in their own beauty and their own authentic sexy selves...and they definitely can begin their journey through a glamour or lifestyle boudoir photo shoot experience!“
As I’ve gotten older, I realized that a woman’s teens & twenty’s are extremely overhyped & glamorized. There should be a lot more praise, appreciation, and pride in those years many call “middle aged”. (It never made much since to me because 30’s, 40’s, and even 50’s are still fairly young). It’s truly a beautiful thing seeing the impact Nivia is having on these women! Your body is beautiful and you should never question that! Let’s change the narrative around women’s bodies ♥️
If you have been searching for a photographer or want to take that first step in getting out your comfort zone, this is a wonderful place to start! Book Her!

Today In #28DaysOfAce is a continuation of yesterday’s highlight for Kemmy
“My name is Kemberley Portis. I am the proud author of J & J the Kid Scientists.
J & J the Kid Scientists is a children's book focused on S. T. E. M and how S. T. E. M is a part of our daily lives. The story depicts two inquisitive black boys whose parents explain how things work through STEM projects. These experiments not only provide explanations, it also allows for hands on learning. I believe learning is constant. Kids are like sponges that soak up everything and they learn from their environment.
I am mostly proud that all experiments utilize
affordable and/or household items that are easily
accessible. It is very important to me to offer learning experiences that utilizes items that most families have in their homes and that are affordable. This children's book is the perfect equation of quality fun/family time + hands on learning = motivated life long learners. You can purchase J & J the Kid Scientists on Amazon, BAM, Barnes & Noble (online), and
Walmart (online). Also follow us on Instagram @jjsciencekids
‘Today a reader, Tomorrow a Scientist’! “
We have all seen how much technology has transformed while getting older. STEM students are taking over the world! Your little one may find a great interest in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics- pour into that starting with this book! This may be the step that takes them to the moon!
