Follow me h*es, PERIOD! Cut that check, I'm serious! Lol heyyy Pretty Vee. As you can tell from the title of this write up, we'll be chatting about Instagram. And if you know me, you know I have a love-hate relationship with 'The Gram.' I love following all the guru's and getting my motivation up. I love the pics and videos and all the connectedness you feel. I hate that it's considered a highlight reel and that people feel like they can just say whatever. Also hate when I st

It’s time for the second drop. The plan was to drop a song every 5 days and keep the slaps coming all year. We’ve been in the studio working. GRINDING! Every. Day. So boom, we’re prepping for the latest release. Artwork is done. I’m working on the post rollout stuff. I click on my Instagram app andddddddd everything’s messed up. Timeline has lots of posts from 3 days ago. I can’t post to my story. My page won’t refresh..... just totally malfunctioning. Ok cool, that’s fine. L

As you know, people use social media for numerous different reasons. Some just want to create this fantasy world so you’ll believe that they’ve got everything going for themselves. Sometimes they are the guru’s and know all the answers to your problems. Which ever way you decide to use your social media platforms, there are certain things that you just shouldn’t post.

Let’s talk networking. If you’re anything like me, you actually hate ‘controlled networking,’ as in networking events.

If you’re a writer or creative, I’m almost 100% sure that at one point in time you’ve experienced writers block or creatives block. You sit down to write out that new blog post and boom..... blank space. You go to plan the creative direction for your next shoot and boom..... canvas is bare. Trust me, we’ve all been there. The ideas just don’t seem to flow and you’re in a battle with writers block that you didn’t sign up for. Well don’t fret, I’m going to share a few tips that

So here are a few of the goals I plan on smashing this month: 1. Planning 1 On-Going Summer Event I've been working to transition my brand into a completely different space of lifestyle and like tranquility/peace/ healing so the event will probably be something vibey and bi-weekly.

Lately I've been itching to bring back the "Old Rae." The socialite Rae. As of lately, I've been more of a homebody Rae.' Partly because people are funny acting lol.... and partly because... idk lol. But I think it's time to get back to mixing and mingling. I enjoyed my social butterfly days and I'm sure they'll be even better as an adult and social(light).
