I have just recently returned from sunny Atlanta, and I had such a great time. I always have a great time with my boyfriend and his family, but this time was super relaxing. While I was down in Atlanta I tried to be a productive YouTuber and upload videos, but that backfired, and I wasn’t able to upload. This empties video is what I planned to upload in ATL, but it is going up now. Hopefully, I will be back on my schedule of two videos a week for the rest of the summer (fingers crossed)
I am currently taking summer school classes. Despite summer school, I have many exciting things planned for Zen HairLife this summer including ZIYs, Art projects, home decor, gardening, and I will be doing several new hair videos!
I can’t wait for all of the new things it is going to be awesome! STAY TUNED
I am currently sending a huge spring welcome back to all of your lovely faces. Today is such a beautiful day, and I am happy to say that I can enjoy it because spring semester is finally over! This semester has been one of the hardest semesters of my college career. This year started out with a bang in the worst way possible, two major deaths in the family. I was also taking one of the most important classes in my major program, and I literally couldn’t deal. The stress consumed me and every day was like climbing Mount Everest.
So I know you are thinking “this is a super sad and depressing story when is the sun coming out” lol. Well, I thought the same thing and it took a lot longer than I expected. Yoga Teacher Training was something that I had already decided to do before all of the devastation happened. The way everything has played out I believe that God, the universe, the force put this teacher training into my life to change it forever. This training has helped me so much with the grieving process, the stress of school, and realizing that my life is in my hands, and I do have the power to change.
In this training, I quickly learned that becoming a yoga teacher and going through the ytt process is so much more than just learning to teach people yoga poses. Knowing that you never stop learning is something that keeps me so excited for the future. Being surrounded by such amazing and supportive people has been such a blessing! Now that spring is here and the sun is coming out I feel the same way about my life (or possibly due to the surge of sun sourced vitamin D I’ve been getting ). I have become super-connected to the seasons, the moon, and the natural energy around me. That is totally due to the increase of meditation, yoga, and mindfulness in my life. I am a firm believer that when you remove yourself from the artificial life cycle and put yourself back into the natural swing of being you are much more balanced and grounded in life.
Needless to say, ytt has been a blessing so far, and I can’t wait to see what is to come 🙂

Hey, guys, I hope everyone is doing great! So I have some great news! I have started my eight months long Hatha RYT (registered yoga teacher) Training! This program is something that I have wanted to do for a while, and I am making a goal come true. The program started at the end of February, so I have already completed two sessions, and I have six months left. I thought it would be a great idea to document the entire process to see how much I grow. The program is an alignment based hatha yoga training, we have learned so much already I can’t believe it. We started practice teaching on day one, so we didn’t waste any time getting the ball rolling. It is proacticive that we started practice teaching early on because we get more comfortable teaching and with each other. The people in my training are awesome and very sweet, and our instructor Naomi is amazing and extremely knowledgeable. I hope you guys follow me on my journey to becoming a yoga teacher; it should be an exciting ride.
I talk a little more about my feelings about the program and other things in the video. Let me know if any of you guys are yogis or are in teacher training, I would love to know.
Hey, guys what’s shakin?! I hope that you all are doing well. Recently I traveled to Los Angeles with my boyfriend for spring break. This trip was my first time to California, and naturally I loved it! I don’t know how one could not like California it’s magical. Needless to say I bought quite a lot of things from a ton of cool places in L.A. My favorite places were Little Tokyo, Chinatown, Santa Monica, and Malibu and everywhere in between. This trip was so fun and relaxing, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. School this semester has been so stressful and aside from school my life has been pretty stressful as of late. Traveling to California reset me and I’m ready to finish this semester. In this video, I show you all of the cool things I purchased while in L.A., and I hope that you enjoy it. Let me know where is your favorite place to travel? Oh and by the way if you live on the east coast as I do can you believe that it is still snowing in the middle of March with the beginning of spring coming in 2 days!!!! BANANAS
Anywho I hope that you have had and enjoyable day and that you enjoy the video! ☺
Hi, guys, I hope you all are doing well. I like to use my blog as sort of a diary along with the topic of the video. So that is what I will continue to do, and I hope you enjoy that. Anywho my personal life has been a bit crazy to say the least, but I do like to look on the bright side so it could be worse. As many of my veteran readers know I am in university, this is my second to last semester, and I am so ready to be finished. School is nothing if not stressful. So totally random but as I am writing this I had the idea to do some de-stressing DIY(ZIY) video for my holistic living series (so look out for that). When I am stressed, I find that nothing brings me back to a good headspace more than yoga and meditation. I feel like regular meditation allows you to be your ultimate self and break out of the fog of a stressful period. So I think that it is so fitting that this video/post is going up right now in my life (no coincidence). In this video, I just give you some basic tips on how to approach meditation for the first time or make it more powerful for yourself. It is difficult to navigate the world if you don’t have a sense of self, and how can you have a grasp of yourself if you have not ever had time to be with yourself. Meditation is more than chanting, it’s for everyone, it’s for you! I encourage you to watch my video and try some of my tips, you may not like all of them but that’s part of learning yourself. Take some time every day to be with yourself FULLY and see what comes of it!
Love yourself! You guys are awesome ☺
