Favorite Fabrics


Jersey, stretchy, denim, fabrics that flatter curvy figures. She also loves, bright colors, chevron, prints, and floral patterns.


Admired Designers


"After looking at someone else's designs, your work starts to look like theirs.", Quiana said. With that said, no favorite designers, but she does enjoy sewing tutorials from youtubers such as, meesha boo, see easy, and Giani.

Where does the inspiration come from?

Her inspirations come from life. Her body, or how she would like to feel. "If I want to feel easy and free, then I create something flowing."

She feels it's a slow death to creativity, the store picks the clothing for you.

Metaphysics: 4 Easy ways it will better your life

Metaphysics is all that is beyond the physical. The infinity of time, soul, spirit and thought. The vey term "metaphysics" is boxing it in, when "it" can't be bound by words.  Another way we can look at this, is metaphysics being the ultimate math equation to our existence, and our own god-like powers. The spirit or thought carries a vibration at different levels of frequencies.

So, here are the 4 ways you can awaken those powers, and integrate these metaphysical practices into your life.


Realizing Needs & Wants


Realize your goals or wants into the physical realm with meditation. This is also called manifesting.  Meditation stills the mind so you can receive messages from the source or your inner self.

Close your eyes, and visualize your needs and desires.  Feel the emotions you would feel after achieving the desired outcome, and put your intentions into the universe.  Your thoughts are energy that vibrates, and communicates messages to the universe or god. It's like another type of language to communicate with, one beyond the physical.  Research it, put it into practice, and notice how events unfold for you.

Holistic Healing

Healing with metaphysics is a holistic approach that works with the soul as well as the body. Nothing changes until you are able to heal your mind, and soul.  There are many ways to healing with metaphysics, which is sometimes called "Alternative medicine" , but I will only focus on the use of crystals in this blog.  Crystals are from the earth, and usually have to be mined from rocky dark places.  People have been using them for healing since ancient times.  It can be spiritually healing through chakra balancing or aiding in meditation.  For physical healing, there can be elixirs made by soaking crystals, but do your research, because some are toxic.

Elixirs can be used for internal ailments or even washing your hair!  Also, Dr. Llaila Afrika mentions crystal healing in his book called, "Afrikan Holistic Health" which you can buy here!I personally use my crystals  (you can get at  uneeklyyou)  in meditation, I'm new to working with them, and I intend on trying some other was to incorporate them into my life.


Spiritual Advisors


Spiritual advisors, are energy readers. They don't really "tell the future", but more so read the energy around the situation.  Some naturally have access to these high frequencies, and others have to develop the ability.

Psychics, tarot readers, and other forms of divination, are normally as mysterious, dark, or taboo, because this highly Christianized American society. Despite some of the myths, an authentic ethical advisor can be very beneficial to your life's journey.   They can be that guide for us when the path gets dark, and the advisor has the night goggles on.

You do have the power to find the answers yourself, but seeking counsel on different issues, gives more balance, so the best decisions can be made.

Discovery Yourself


Learn more about yourself through natal charts in astrology.  With your natal chart, you'll find out that you are made of more then just your sun sign.  People are complex, and so is your natal chart, but they do come with interpretation reports for you to understand.  The chart tells of your strengths, weaknesses, love life, even the number of potential kids you could have.  Some say, your whole life is in the "wheel" (natal chart).

To me, it's confirmation of past lives, or reincarnation, and the fact that the soul never dies.  The infinity of time, you body dies, but the soul begins another cycle, while the planets record it in the natal chart.  So, check it out and have some fun.
