• #AD In honor of my Grandfather regularly seeing me on my phone and other devices, one of his funny names for me is “thumbs”! I realized that he really values me putting down my devices so I can be present and focused on him. One of the ways we creatively spend time together is by doing a few of his favorite things; making and eating a charcuterie board to include stinky cheese. 😝 He also enjoys a good glass of wine all while sharing stories from the good ol’ days and cutting coupons!✂️ Whether I was in HS, College, LA, or DC, I could always depend on that consistent piece of mail that would have a sweet note from my Grandfather and a selection of coupons for places and products he thought me, my mom, or even my roommates could benefit from. Whether it is savings on restaurants, groceries, or drugstore items, @savedotcom is a go-to resource for 67-million homes every year! Save is delivered to your mailbox or in your newspaper, so keep an eye out for it! 📫 I love how Save has not only become a fun and nostalgic activity for me and my Grandfather, but it has introduced me to gems, and most importantly, Save has helped me get unbelievable bargains on things I love and need! #SpendLifeHappy

  • #NoxzemaPartner As black women we carry such beauty and strength! Our ability to not only survive but thrive is unmatched so I’m so glad @Noxzema has observed the value of the black community and decided to stand with us by introducing black-owned businesses that specialize in self-care products (my fav!)! If you ask me, black women are beyond “Magic” - we are talented, resilient, and simply, magnificent! Check out my stories to get a closer look at what’s inside my box! #NoxzemaNostalgia #noxzema

  • This Weekend’s Essentials: 1.In an effort to be present, I am going to capture memories with my Instax and take some pictures that won’t make it on the gram. It will be fun to document how we prepare for family night. We will be making mini charcuterie boards, cozying up in blankets and enjoying our 3+ hour movie marathon, etc. 2.Social media is a great reference for inspiration, but if you ask me, there is nothing like cracking open a book or magazine for fresh new ideas so I have my sticky notes ready and I am going to browse through some of my favorite coffee table books for style gems! I think it’s time to put on some “real” clothes again... 😝 3.Its been a super busy week so I am also looking forward to Self Care Sunday this weekend! Candles, masks, steaming my face - the works! P.S. I have linked some of my favorite items in my stories!

  • #NoxzemaPartner @Noxzema has been used in my family for as long as I can remember. I vividly remember seeing that iconic blue jar sitting in my Nana’s bathroom cabinet.  My Mother used Noxzema also, and when I started my own regimen, it was only right that I used Noxzema too! Noxzema’s Deep Cleansing Cream removes dirt, makeup and oil from my pores and has recently been my go-to on days when I need to remove the make-up I applied for meetings and shoots.  The salicylic acid in Noxzema’s Anti Blemish pads helps clear pores and helps prevent breakouts. They've been a staple in my routine for years! Swipe left to see my reaction to my Mom telling me a story about how she caught me in the bathroom slathering Noxzema on my face as a toddler and check out my stories to find out more about these amazing products!  What are your favorite Noxzema products? #noxzemanostalgia #noxzema

  • Just a friendly reminder to make sure you are working on yourself just as much as you are working on your brand or as my Mom would say “don’t be so busy becoming a public success, that you end up a private failure” or as the Bible says (and I paraphrase)“... don’t clean the outside of the cup while leaving the inside dirty” Matt 23:26 In my last post, a few of you shared what you’re working on professionally, now tell me, what are you working on personally? I’ll start! I left my answer in the comments!

  • Happy March Digital Fam!!! I should have known when I said I wanted God to initiate my goals it would require a greater level of surrender, submission and stealing away… I am grateful for Him drawing me unto Himself and I must admit I am more clear, confident and ready to activate His plan and will for the next phase of my life and business. In a world that is fueled by duplication and hustle, I have found it so important that we as Believers make decisions that are aligned with what He’s graced us to accomplish in each season so, I recently shared some tools with the #YesLordCollective that have been absolutely mandatory for me. You can swipe up the link in my stories to access over 40 modules from several Christian experts on how to write, speak, build and lead with God! Use Code: CHAUNCEA10 for $10 off! Also, make sure to stay connected (and turn your post notifications on) - Over the next several weeks, I am excited to share with you the several projects I have been working on! But before you go, please catch me up!  What have you been up to?  What are you working on?  Oh how I missed you all!

  • As we navigate the first week of the New Year, I want to remind you that your spiritual weapons will help you activate your physical weapons - not the other way around. Matt 6:33 says…but seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. First seek God, then He will add instructions, clarity, blueprints, strategies, stamina, endurance, guidance, wisdom, resources and whatever else you need to accomplish the many plans you have set for this year. Some of us are going after the goals without Him or we are adding Him to our goals and are wondering why we feel depleted, discouraged and defeated. He should be initiating our goals! Proverbs 10:22 says… The blessings of the Lord, it maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow with it. If the goals are approved by Him, they are blessed by Him! Let the peace, approval and blessing of God guide and equip you for the journey ahead. …This was not the caption I originally planned for this post but I felt like someone (🙋🏾‍♀️) needed to be reminded of this! My 2021 Mood: Be about my Father’s Business! He’s the CEO, not me! Happy 2021 Digital Fam! 🎉🎉🎉 Inspire someone and share a goal(s) you have set for this year...

  • I have officially wrapped up my 2020 projects and my To-Do list looks a little different for the rest of the year. The 3 things I am especially looking forward to doing leading up to The New Year are… 1. Hopefully, my family and I will go see the drive thru lights. If my DMV Fam knows any good locations, please list them below! So many places are already sold out! 🙈 2. A couple of trusted friends and I are putting a spin on our 2021 virtual planning party. We are sharing the strengths, weaknesses and gifts we identify in one another and I have a feeling that’s just the honest, transparent and vulnerable conversation I need to close out this year. 3. I have not had a proper self care routine all month so I am looking forward to pulling out the masks, holiday movies and maybe even safely going to get my nails done! How are you celebrating the Holidays?

  • I am honored to partner with @godaddy on their #OpenWeStand campaign in support of small businesses. Many creatives are struggling due to Covid-19 and businesses of all kinds are challenged as they try to stand strong under extreme pressure. As a business owner and content creator, each day comes with unique concerns as the pandemic has dramatically changed the way many of us are doing business. Prior to March 2020 I was fortunate to be able to gain new clients through referrals or during my travels as I met countless individuals in airports, at hotels; various restaurants and other public places I found myself from time to time. I was also able to cultivate several influencer brand partnerships during events, gatherings and private meetings which has come to a complete stop for now. In addition to making changes in how I attract clients, I have also found that a critical resource helping me get through this transitional season is having an awesome community I can call on when needed. @Godaddy’s #OpenWeStand Microsite has made the economic health of small businesses a priority with their exceptional resource hub.  From articles on business strategies and how to promote customer/client loyalty to providing useful tools on how to maximize social media, Godaddy has created a community for small businesses that want advice, tips and importantly, valuable support as we all work together to find new ways to succeed in the unprecedented times we’re living in. Show support for your fellow small business owners by using the #OpenWeStand GIFs on your stories and social shares and please check out @Godady’s Microsite which you can find linked in my Stories!   Lastly, please remember, small business owners are the backbone of our communities so please do not forget to shop small this Holiday season! Do you have a small business or a favorite small business you like to shop? Please list them in the comments so we can get connected too! #godaddypartner
