The #Nando25 Challenge Idea: The Creative Process can drive us and motivate us to do great things from writing our first blog post to writing our first book, but the question is–”Does the creative process drive us or is it the other way around?” I’ve teamed up with my friend and Creative Coach Nathan Seven Scott who will give you insights into his creative process and how he’s managed to write 6 manuscripts in under a year. His first book, My Turn, was reviewed on-air by Wendy Williams who had sexy things to say about Nathan’s hot + steamy serial killer series.

You can apply these tips to help in whatever creative projects you’re doing, trust me. After I created this video with Nathan, I rushed home, wrote down his tips + reshaped my own creative process/cycle. He’s inspired me to really “get it” and set it to motion! Are you looking for a creative group? Are you looking for a creative coalition? What about having a creative curriculum? Watch this before you take one more step…or have one more thought!

The Lesson: Watch the video + be present

The #Nando25 Challenge Homework:
1. Find a creative mentor — contact them + make an agreement.
2. Find an accountability partner (different than your mentor) to keep you on track with your deadlines.
3. Set + Create a new “creative structure” – once you do, leave it on the facebook page.

I could go on for days singing the praises for change and how our lives could use some, but instead, I will stop the chorus and give you a simple 25-Day program that I’ve put together to help you transform your life. What’s the difference between change and transformation? Just ask the catepillar who’s waiting for his wings.

The #Nando25 challenge promises to be simple, sexy + transformational because once you get a hold of the information–it’s there….locked and ready to use. You can choose not to follow, but inside, the seed’s been planted and you’ll never be the same!

Topics + tips on self improvement include: weight loss, increase your self awareness, boost your motivation, increase creativity, the reasons why sleeping 7 hours a night is mandatory for your health + well being, learn to have more integrity with your words, what is your prefrontal cortex and how it helps you make decisions, taking the right supplements to energize you daily, and much more.

I get it, death brings out the ugly in people. And with twitter being at everyone’s disposal, the ugly get’s tweeted and tweeted and even retweeted. I was at the gym and happened to turn on Whiney Houston’s funeral right as Kevin Costner was ending his memorial. Then Alicia Keys came on and said a few words, then Clive Davis. Or was it the other way around? All I remember is seeing a tweet in my timeline when Clive was speaking that read, “Clive Davis is once again taking the spotlight directly above Whitney’s body.” And that sparked a discussion which lead to the video below.

You don’t have to agree with it and you don’t have to like it, but I challenge you to watch it. And at the end, ask yourself:

Should Clive Davis have been allowed to speak at Whitney Houston’s funeral?
What responsibility did The Beverly Hills Hotel have?
Did you agree with Alicia Keys calling Whitney Houston an angel?
Was Wendy Williams wrong for crying on her show concerning Whitney’s death?
And why are bloggers all of a sudden now crying out about Whitney’s demise and blaming it all on Clive Davis?
Was Celine Dion right on the money with her statement?
Was Robin Roberts swaying the interview?

Here are some Whitney pics, enjoy.

Valentines’ Day 2012: gifts, flowers, (do people still do candy?)

What does it all mean? More importantly, what does it mean to you? Here’s a conversation I had with a few New Yorkers on their meaning of Valentine’s Day.

What are your thoughts on Vday? Do you celebrate? Why or why not? Leave a comment and let’s get Mexican in here!

Watch the video below for some insights on what Valentine’s Day 2012 means to the following New Yorkers!

It’s already January 9th–nine days into the New Year and how many of you have already given up on those sparkly new resolutions you made for 2012? Are you ashamed? Do you feel like a total failure? Do you look in the mirror and want to vomit? Don’t feel bad, it happens. But ever wonder why we fall of the wagon? I did some research and discovered why we fail to keep our New Year’s Resolutions and this is what I discovered.

I popped over to the Ted Gibson Salon, to get a hair consultation. Since I’ve been growing it out–it’s become a little unmanageable and I needed the experts to show me the way. I set up an appointment with stylist, Jill Engelsen, and showed up a little nervous because I’ve never “consulted” with anyone on my hair before–it’s always been: ME, ME, ME! Jill sensed my anxiety-level and quickly calmed me down. She began to play with my hair and showed me 2 new ways to style it. She walked me though the process of blow-drying my hair (there’s an actual art to it) and what products to use and why. I discussed trimming the side a little and her eyes sparkled like those Twilight Vampires in the sun–she explained, Trimming the sides will give you more volume on the top and help cut down on your blow-drying time in the AM.” Those were magic words!

Because my hair is so think (thank the hair gods) I don’t want to use anything to heavy on it because it will weigh it down and that’s not the look I want to achieve, I am from Texas, so having BIG HAIR is a must! Plus, I learned a while back, the bigger the hair, the smaller the hips!

I’m going back for the special treatment I got from everyone at the Ted Gibson Salon for a trim in a few weeks. And although, Mr. Ted Gibson wasn’t there that day, my good friend, Jason Backe (his partner in life and in business), popped his head out for a minute which heightened the experience! Honestly, I wish they could bottle his energy and enthusiasm for life–because I would buy a lifetime supply.

Products recommended & purchased were:

Architexture: 

matte defining paste- transforms fine/limp hair into styles with matte texturization and strong but pliable hold. Customized to provide form, structure and definition on fine hair while maintaining style reworkability.

L’Oréal Professionnel Texture Expert Infinium Spray:

You can use this spray while blow-drying to add volume or as a finishing spray, and it comes out dry and light, not stiff…of course I use tons of it.

And here is the finished style (one of them).

This is an open letter, prayer, mantra to all the women in the world today. (and anyone else who has boobs)

I hope your Thursday is amazeballs and in case no one as told you as of yet–you are pretty fabulous, you know that?!

Let’s rock this Thursday with the wisdom of who ever discovered you can slaughter a cow and pick it about for hamburgers and ribs. It’s that creative ingenuity that I wish upon you. It’s that spirit of, “Let’s take this living creature and rip its life out in order to raise our cholesterol levels to an all-time high!” I want nothing more for you than to feel the energy of our forefathers who had the foresight to see up-ahead and not just what was before them.

May you tackle your problems with the same pizazz and spontaneous factor the early Mexican settlers displayed, for if it wasn’t for them, we WOULD NOT have 3 things today: tortillas, guacamole, and non-consensual sex.

Let’s rock this Thursday!

YOUR MANTRA: Today I will be bold, laugh, date better, relationship freely and love out loud!

For mom’s reading–you are MORE than just a mom, daughter, wife and sister; find the other parts of you to celebrate.

For single women reading–you are MORE than your job, girlfriend, lesbian crush, spinning instructor and should never forget that. Explore your feminine wilds and ride naked on horses (just use Saran Wrap over your genital-region when riding naked–I don’t want you to experience a flea-infestation)

And for every woman reading–you are more that a taxi cab, nurse’s aid, and errand girl, remember to find that inner spirit at least once a day in order to feed, pet and love.
