New Year New You

New Year New You

Very recently we danced, we drank, and we partied our way into another year. Its finally 2017, the year we get shit done! Wo hooo! What about this year makes it different from years past? Is it determination, will power, extenuating circumstances, or just over all fed upness (yes, I am fully aware that is not a word; FYI – I obtained a degree [allegedly] from a real university, so do me a solid and just roll with it)? Whatever your reason or motivation for getting to the business let that be it. YOUR REASON. No one is deserving of

Where They at Though? – Pretty Professional’s Guide to Travel

Maybe it is just me, but I feel like every time I’ve logon to the InstaSnapBook, everyone is out here living large on somebody’s private island. Legit, either everyone recently got a pay increase or they are executing the #LilBowWowChallenge like a bunch of champs. For those of you who know me, I recognize this may come off a bit hypocritical—even slightly judgemental—considering that I fall into this category (not the bow wow part. I am a boss, and don’t you forget it. And don’t you sit there judging me with your eyes). Yes, I am well aware that it

Network & Chill???

If you have been following my Snap Stories –for those who don’t know: a Snap Story is a series of ‘x’ second videos stored chronologically in the My Story timeline within the Snap Chat application — you would have encountered the bad and boujee version of the JessTheProfesh (what had happened was… I was on vacation and channeling my inner Beyoncé thus resulting in me feeling myself–Don’t hate the player; hate the game!). My recent lapse of humility is caused by my realization of how “lit” my life is (for those of you not fluent in this verbiage: Urban dictionary

Show Me The Money

So we made it to February, which is most known for brisk winters (not so much these days – thanks global warming), declarations of love (screw you card and candy industry for exploiting affection), and Black History Month (FYI – Black history is everybody’s history three hundred and sixty-five days of the year). While February is notorious for these mainstays, really what is hot in these February streets is W-2 Season! SHOW ME THE MONEY!!! Wait… Pause, it’s more like give me MY money back. Seriously am I the only one bothered that we voluntarily give the government an interest free

Branding Like a Boss

Kellogg, Nike, and Apple–what do they all have in common? For one, I own something created by each: Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes (breakfast of champions), Nike Air Max (legit footwear that makes me taller–I like being tall), and Apple’s iAnything&Everything (because it is a cult, and you have to commit once you bought the phone–read the manual). Aside from taking all my money, they are better known as global consumer brands. Unless you bought into the tiny house craze and have lived in a remote location for the past decade, it is probably safe to assume that you have had a

Get Lit Like Nike: Just Do It  

I finally did IT. The “It” that I have been talking myself out of for years.  The “It” that has kept me up at night, led me to spend countless hours cowering in my living room comforted by marathons of Vampire Diaries (do NOT, I repeat DO NOT judge me. Vampire Diaries is pure cinematic genius and deserves all kinds of accolades. After all, there were eight seasons AND a spin off series…. So There! ) all in the name of keeping me in my safe space, also known as my comfort zone. No, I didn’t do the nasty. Gosh,
