MONDAY MOMENT W/ ROB HILL, SR.

INTRODUCING THE 'MONDAY MOMENT W/ ROB HILL, SR.! EVERY MONDAY OUR FAVORITE INDIE AUTHOR AND MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER, ROB HILL, SR. WILL BE TAKING A MOMENT EVERY MONDAY TO DROP A FEW WORDS OF WISDOM TO SIMPLY MOTIVATE EVERYONE AND GET YOUR WEEK STARTED OFF RIGHT. READ, COMMENT, SPREAD THE WORD AND ENJOY :)

 

 

Regardless of how "bad" life gets, you weren't born to be a quitter. You have to learn how to trust God because if you don't, when it's time to fight, you won't know how. Most people can’t get ahead in life because they’re always running back when things get rough. Stop wanting life to be perfect and start working to make it consistently better. It's okay to hurt, it's okay to make mistakes, it's even okay to need somebody sometimes. We can't get through life alone, we can't get through everything refusing to feel, running from love & living with pride. We can't win that way. When life hits you, you have to be strong enough to persevere, you have to be willing to take the hit, and keep going. You have to be willing to cry, and fight; to hurt, but still hurdle over whatever is in front of you. You are stronger because of your flaws, wiser because of your mistakes, and better because you haven’t quit. There’s too much at stake to stop now. If what you want is really something worth having, then do whatever you have to do to get it. Remember: Everything the world sends to break you, God uses to build you. Stay encouraged.

Just my thoughts good people, just my thoughts

BUSINESS ALERT- J'ADORE'S CLOSET CHILDREN'S BOUTIQUE (CHESAPEAKE, VA)

The Hampton Roads area of VA is definitely brewing with lots of young driven business owners. In Chesapeake there is a children's boutique called J'adore's Closet selling some of the most unique pieces for your little ones. Check out the quick mini interview i did with the owner!

 

1. Introduce yourself. --- Hello I'm D'Shara McRae

2. Where are you from? -- Norfolk, Virginia

3. Explain what you do. - I sell high fashion clothing for children.

4. How long have you officially been in business? -- I have been in business now for about 5 months.

5. What was it that made you decide to start your business? -- the decision to start this project was simply J'adore. He's my 3 year old son that I love and adore. Everyone always ask where I get his clothes from and have always complemented me on how well dressed and stylish he was. I always shopped at big name stores neimans, nordstrom etc for his clothes and of course when I told people that they said it cost too much. From there I started selling J'adore's gently used clothing. After 3 weeks of being in business the consignment items sold and I started selling all new inventory.

6. What was the first year of business like for you? --- although I'm still in my first year its been awesome. A little bumps a long the way but overall very well.

7. Did it take a lot of money to get you started? No, not at all

8. Do you work full time in addition to your business? --- yes I do.

9. Who inspires you? why? - J'adore inspires me from birth he's always been a source of inspiration everything I do is centered around him and for him.

10. What can we look forward to from you in the future? -- lots of shows starting with VA FASHION WEEK. A children's fashion show case at Hampton University nov 4th. NY fashion week. J'adore's closet will also be in a mall near you early 2013

I RECENTLY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE TIDEWATER VIRGINIA AREA'S 5K RACE FOR THE CURE AND ALSO ATTEND A DAY PARTY IN VIRGINIA BEACH, VA THAT FEATURED DIFFERENT LOCAL BRANDS SELLING THEIR PRODUCTS AND DONATING A PERCENTAGE OF THEIR PROCEDES TO THE CAUSE. THE EVENT WAS ORGANIZED BY KIM WIMBISH (KMK PRODUCTIONS) AND DJ HASZ (FSHOA). IT WAS TRULY A GREAT THING TO SEE SO MANY TALENTED PEOPLE COMING TOGETHER AND BEING ACTIVE IN THEIR COMMUNITY. CHECK OUT SOME OF THE PICS AND BE SURE TO CHECK OUT ALL OF THE BRAND'S WEBSITES TO PURCHASE FROM THEM.

PRODUCT ALERT- TEEZEE WATCHES- NYC

 

I CAME ACROSS THIS BRAND ON INSTAGRAM AND WAS IMEDIATELY INTERESTED. BASICALLY YOU BUY THE INITIAL WATCH AND THEN YOU COLLECT THE BANDS TO COSTOMIZE IT TO MIX AND MATCH. THE FACE POPS RIGHT OUT OF THE BAND AND IS INTERCHANGEABLE WITH ANY OTHER BAND. WATCH FACES COME IN A VARIETY OF COLORS (WHITE, BLUE, YELLOW, BLACK, RED, PINK, ETC) FOR $29.99 (COMES WITH MATCHING BAND) AND FOR $10 EXTRA CAN BE MADE TO LIGHT UP. BANDS ARE AVAILABLE TO BE PURCHASED IN DIFFERENT COLORS SEPERATELY FOR $12.99. SO THE WATCH IS VERY AFFORDABLE AND YOU CAN MATCH THEM WITH ANY OUTFIT. PERSONALLY THE ONLY THING I WISH IS THAT YOU COULD BE ABLE TO LIGHT THE WATCH UP ON ONE COLOR AND IT BE ABLE TO STAY ON ALL THE TIME (THE LIGHTS ON THE WATCH FLASH THROUGH SEVERAL COLORS AND FLASH MODES FOR ABOUT 30 SECS THEN GO OFF) BUT IT'S STILL A GREAT FEATURE. DEFINATELY A CONVERSATION PIECE. CHECK OUT THE PICS, THE WEBSITE AND THEIR SOCIAL NETWORKS TO SEE HOW EVERYONE IS ROCKING THIER TEEZEE WATCHES!
