Entrepreneurship: LushHair Couture

Being stuck at home doing almost nothing has motivated me to finally come vent on my beloved albeit lame blog and why not talk about the opposite of my laziness. Lets do a fine and dandy talk about entrepreneurship. *cue my batmanesque voice over* in a world where one has to strike it out on their own. Many have decided that it is their time to grab the bull by its horns and ride (you know i've never heard the ride part), to become the brightest start in the galaxy, to reach for the skies blah blah *and scene now cue applause and a curtsy from the I*. I want to say that Wikipedia has never failed me yet but I'd be lying but this definition will do in a jiffy " entrepreneurship is the process of identifying and starting a new business venture, sourcing and organizing the required resources, while taking both the risks and rewards associated with the venture". Well I had an interview with one such friend check it out

> 1.What's the name of your business, how did you start it and what exactly motivated you to start it?

Lush Hair Couture. Received the idea from a friend's, as well as my personal issues faced while trying to purchase good quality hair extensions at an affordable price. I worked for about a month testing and sampling to find the right supplier. Then I started to get my name out there.

> 2.What does being an entrepreneur mean to you?

To sum it up in 3 Fs: Freedom, Flexibility and Financial security.

> 3.What is the worst experience you have had to date since owning your own business?

In business, not everyone will be supportive. Also, not everyone is willing to pass on the torch. I tried once to find a mentor. Someone to guide me along and help me start up. Help me understand more about the "hair business". Most of what I stumbled across were men and women on high horses, not willing to give up any of their "trade secrets". Each one should teach one.

> 4. What is the best experience you have had to date since owning your own business?

My first sale. Will always be the best moment. That moment when your business plan becomes 3 dimensional, its amazing.

> 5.What advice would you give to young Jamaican youths interested in being an entrepreneur?

Figure out what it is you want. Make a plan mapping out how you plan to get there, & do it. Just do it.

> 6. Where do you see your business in the next five years?

By then, I hope to have Lush Hair Couture as the go-to shop for Hair extensions, accessories and other select beauty items.

> 7.If you received one million pounds for your business how would you allocate it?

I'd definitely offer something new. Been looking into purses recently. That would be my next step.

Slight RANDOM doodles in the world

• check out this article . And this is where my fear of being a professional comes from. No matter your field as you climb the ladder, as you become a media figure, a professor or doctor, as you become a leader in your field the ever famous saying becomes your motto chanted by others and never by you : 'You will be damned if you do and you certainly will be damned if you do not'. Yes I do have an opinion on what that little situation is all about and no I will not share. Guess to your hearts content
• My condolences to the family of the twins who died in the flood. No one is to be blamed not the children, not the security guards of their school, not the teachers, principal or administration, not their aunt/care giver but instead energy should be focused on the support of that mother and of that family. It is easier to use your frustration and fuel the blame train (<--ha so corny) but it is much more difficult to make good of it.
• My dance role model Ciara had her baby boy and named him Future. Its no big deal its her first son his fourth or fifth I'm not quite sure but it is her stamp on her favoured baby boy to show off her love of the boy's father
• Oh my gosh as a thought to be addict of Bones I find out that Bones is so far gone that there is an official B&B and TNT didn't let me know. I am fraught with emotions

Flow Mobay City Run 5K Walk

yalllll I am so nuff sometimes so yours truly has always wanted to participate in walks you know walking for a purpose and you know since the new year I have been on an autism walk and a breast cancer walk,all about building awareness and raising funds, all good things. Then came along Flow Mobay City Run 5K Walk and I completely unaware of the journey ahead signed up got my frineds to come with me, donned my gym wear, so called comfie sneakers, my 1710 race id and had my bottles of water at hand. To shorten the story 'me buss before me even start'

Below is a list of things to note from the run
1. We had to walk to meet up to walk. No more words are needed.
2. That gentleman in the spongebob pants, sir you slayed.
3. All the individuals who (regardless if you signed up to walk or run) actually ran all hats, caps, head pieces, head gears off to you.
4. Gatorade bag juice seriously though -__- the false hope you got when you swore it was an ordinary bag juice
5.All fit individuals hats off to you also
6. The barely there shorts and saggy booty meat was not well received.
7. Dear production team the next time you hold an event such as this 'skipping' needs to be an actual category 
8. The three gentlemen who played with gravity kudos to you and yes we are well aware that your wedgies were real (although you are probably used to it)
and lastly
9. Montego Bay really showed its 'good' colours and supported the great cause of raising funds  to support students in western Jamaica who face challenges with financing their tertiary education. That was well received.

Dignified speed walking in life

Oh my good lord the astonishing and overwhelming relief that is to finally access my blog and be able to write! Let the church say hallelujah and amen yessss!
So updates I have finally finished my last exam to get this degree that may or may not have been a waste of time and money and I may or may not even receive the damn degree if I fail a particular course which I am worried about because I had to do a masters interview so I didn't study well enough and by the way I still didn't even get into the masters program but through it all let me tell you. I am so relieved (enter all the got damn synonyms for that word and you'll get a taste of what I'm feeling).
 Have you ever walked up the hill to Montego Bay High school extra fast because you know you are late for the early morning drama and you don't want to be late for devotion also so you basically run in your mind while trying to do dignified speed walking and you can feel the burn in your toes, thighs and throat and then when you finally step through the pearly gates you realize if you really had the option you would have just stayed home well that's exactly how i feel. The journey was hard and I was excited to finish but now.
 I whisper to the universe 'Can i please turn back' lol

Ha ha ha and no I'm not against race walking Olympians so don't even try to stir the pot

Virginal just not Virgin

Dear Diary
well more like Dear Fan club
There are aspects in this lovely Jamaican culture that I just cannot stand. What is it that irks me so you ask well let the story begin.
I am a 19 year old female that is fairly attractive *fierce finger snap* and through out my years have only had one boyfriend and it wasn't even a serious one now unto the irk. Whyyy [yes the extra Ys mean the word has to last for more than a second] why oh why must people take it upon their self to become my therapist after hearing that. Once I tell them my romantic background they are all aghast [meanings are sometimes better than the actual word] correction they are all struck down by overwhelming shock and amazement. After which they proceed to either "get with me" or proclaim that i'm 'lame' or even both.
There are just times when I want to climb that fountain in the middle of town and raise my arms and say 'ITS ALL GRAVY MAN'...no I'm not waiting on anything special, no i'm not a forbidden apple for you to sink your teeth in and no no no I am  NOT joining a nunnery again i say 'ITS ALL GRAVY MAN' but yeah if i did that they would have me admitted and undergoing tests faster than i can say gravy lmao so for now i'll take to this forum and rant my little heart out.

Just give the hot momma over here a break please.Time will have her converting to the norm well not your norm. I am after all a husband, kids, house with the biggest bathroom EVER kind of gal ...so yeah thats a no go on the white fence i need the space for my mirror wall

hope yall are doing fantabulous btw
