"Modeling Behavior" Raelia Lewis

         So I had the opportunity to interview The lovely Raelia Lewis , who Is an  international model and soon to be author. Raelia is from Philadelphia ,PA she has three agencies that she is represented by which are  Mp Mega Miami, Base south Africa and Anomaly New York.  She has been featured in over 10 magazines worldwide.

Down Below is our interview enjoy guys ! <3

When did you get started in the modeling Industry?

Raelia-  I was scouted locally at the age of 16 but I decided that I wanted to pursue modeling professionally after High School. I commuted to NYC for years and worked as a freelance model untill I got cast on America's Next Top Model. 

How  has modeling shaped you into the person you are today ? 

Raelia- Modeling has taught me a lot about taking risks, perseverance ,gratitude and faith. There isn't a fashion market in Philadelphia so  I had to jump out of my shell and put myself out there. I traveled and worked extremely hard on my portfolio. it took me years to secure an agency but It was all worth it. My motto is "Nothing ever gets easier, you just get better." Modeling taught me that great things taketime but all things are possible. 

What made you want to start writing a book and become an author? 

Raelia- I've always had a love for literature . I wrote poetry for years privatley but writing a book never crossed my mind untill I met an author in Miami who persuaded me too. He thought that my story was great and that it needed to be heard. 

Do you plan on to do any T.v shows anytime soon, And what are two intresting facts that people do not know about you?

Raelia- When the right show comes along I will definitley do it. I'm intrested in working on scripted series the next time around. I'm the 5th og 6 sibilings and I admire Maya Angelou . 

Do you have a name for you book yet, and what was the inspiration behind it? 

Raelia- The title of my book is "Trust Your Journey". It's a story of love,hope and great success. The book urges readers to change their vision to find fullfillment in life. What's so great about this book is that it's raw, relatable and inspriational. Thsi book was written for inspiring models but also for people who feel like giving up on life. The book includes personal sotries, modleing tips and visionary excersies that help build confdience and stronger minds. 

What would be some advice you would give to girls who want to be in the modeling industry, also what can we expect next for Raelia Lewis?

Raelia- Learn the market and invest in your portfolio. I plan on pursing an acting career next. I'm also in the process of being palced in london. Trust your journey will be the first of many books; I'm currently writing my second book now. I'm also a successful Brand Ambassador and I plan on creating a platform for other people who are involed in that field.

"Shameless Maya" The Movement

Alright, so I'm pretty sure everyone has heard of Shameless Maya on youtube , the infamous YouTuber who shaved her head as a part of her shameless movement.  Well,  I have been watching Maya on her shameless journey since she started her Youtube channel and she is one person who I find truly inspiring.  I love  how she had so much courage to shave her head live for everyone to see, To show that My hair does not define me, okay I define my hair.  Maya has started this amazing movement of being "Shameless" And a lot of you may be like okay what does that mean. Let me break it down for you "Being Shameless" simply means doing what makes you happy, going after  your dreams, bot being afraid to take risk and chances.  I know for a long time I was scared to take chances and risk because of what people thought about me or what they would say. Now I'm at the point in my life where I don't care what anyone has to say , as long as it's making me happy that's all that matters. As well get older the things we want, the people we surround ourselves with change.  I'm at a point where I'm ready to live "Shamelessly"  To really go after what makes me happy and just be around good genuine people. One thing about Maya she stays true to her authentic self and she's always encouraging other people to go after their passions and make their  dreams happen. She is the perfect example of someone who is a beautiful individual inside nad outside, A person who can change your life  upon meeting them. I hope everyone check's out her channel and that  you can really learn something from her. Remember Be Shameless and "DO YOU BOO" !!!!!!!!

"Turning Heads" Model Yahnay

Hey guys so I got a chance to have an exclusive interview with upcoming  model Yahnay who is about to change the game.  She is 17-years-old and was born and raised in Philadelphia . she is currently paving her way through New York City to create a career in the modeling industry and has aspirations to expand internationally.  See our Interview down below ! <3

How did you get started in modeling , and was it something you always knew you wanted to do? 

Yahnay- I started my modeling career at the age of 6 , with access by my mother and grandmother who are fashion designers as well as successful business owners. my twin sister and I have always been  the face of the fashion shows and campaigns and I have always loved the impact it left on people and positive energy it brought to their brands. Growing up and being a shy girl was a struggle because it was always hard for me to stand out but this was my way to bring what I had to offer the world when I couldn't use my words.

What work have you done so far in your modeling career ,Do you have any new projects in the works ? 

Yahnay -  I have been professionally active since 2012 , As I grow and make a name for myself there has been many battles but  I surpass them and overall I  continue to be very successful with no agency representation.  This became my passion so at the age of 12 my first step in reaching my goal was to learn more. I attended john Robert powers modeling school and received all the basics needed to officially begin my career.

What are some of your biggest accomplishments ? 

Yahnay-  My biggest accomplishments  have been getting the opportunity to walk in New York Fashion week twice , with photos that went viral. Also acknowledgement from essence magazine on having the best style to fashion week and a magazine publication in which my fan base can expect much more of in 2016 issues.

Will you open up to new avenues such as acting, also what can your fans expect to see from you in the near future? 

Yahnay- Yes , in the near future I do see myself acting and doing more things on the production side.If  I could describe myself I'd say I'm a risk taker and ever-changing. I am always interested in trying new things and unafraid of failure because that is what builds  my character. I have doubted myself so much a long time ago that today I am truly confident with who I am and can say many of my accomplishments have come from just trying with intentions on not getting the part and I got it. You will never know unless you try.



I am so glad I got to do this interview, I love seeing people going after their dreams and what they are passionate about. One thing to take from this interview is always believe in yourself, even when people are doubting you. Here are some more pictures of Yahnay, from her portfolio enjoy guys! <3

Favorite Skincare Products

Exfoliating- So exfoliating your skin is very important. You should exfoliate once or twice a week to really deep cleanse your face and really get down into your pores.  Though you may wash your face on a daily basis your pores still get clogged up with oil,dirt and makeup that's left behind.

Simple- This has to be one of my favorite skin cleanser ever! I seriously use this face cleanser every day, I love how it foams up and I really feel like it cleans your face and gets all the make- up off.  It leaves your face feeling fresh , clean and rejuvenated. 

Micellar Water-  So I recently just started using this product and I have to say I really like it. It not only acts as a makeup remover but also as a cleanser as well , so you're basically getting two in one. This product really does a good job at taking all of your makeup off. 

P.s So guys this is pretty much my skin care routine and what I use to wash my face on a daily basis. I really like these products and their super affordable. You can practically get them anywhere .  Be sure to leave a comment of your skin care routine .

"What's Next "

/

So I am now 22 -years- old  and I've been thinking "What's Next" for me? I am at the point to where  I'm owning every bit of who I am . I am about to make some amazing career choices and some awesome  moves that are only going to make me better.  I'm officially going after what I want and not turning back. Life is about taking risk and doing what makes you happy despite other people's opinions.  Sometimes if you want a dream bad enough , You have to be willing to fight for it and back it up 100% all the way.  I like to  think of myself as the modern day "Carrie Bradshaw" . She's a writer who is honest, spontaneous and know the right things to say. When you believe in yourself so much , Other people start believing in you too. I'm ready for a big evolution in my life, with new people, adventure, Making unforgettable memories that will last forever.  I think the beauty of growing is evolving into the person you want to be and surrounding yourself with  like-minded  individuals like yourself.  Sometimes the journey is the bigger picture of the story , We are tested to see how far we  are willing to  go to reach our dreams. It's not easy but it's always worth it in the end . We have to  be willing to take the leap of faith into the unknown to make something that people thought was impossible , possible.  I don't know about you But I'm ready to make that leap of faith and go after every single thing I've ever wanted in life since a was a little girl. Now it may require some sacrifices , and really letting go of fear and just knowing that it's all going to happen and work out for you. So you can do it! Stand up , Be bold and Go after your true passion, with love and Determination. I promise you will succeed. 

"I dive into the future 

But I'm blinded by the sun

I'm reborn in every moment 

So who knows what I'll become"

"I'm Back" TheStyleJounralist

Hey!, Guys so I'm finally back. I know right it feels like forever that I've been gone . So originally I took time off to redesign my blog , but honestly, that didn't go well because people wasn't following through. So even though my blog is not looking the way I want it to look I just had to come back to blogging.  I am working on the redesign and hopefully, soon it will be looking better, but  I had to start blogging again because I missed it so much .  I have so many things to share with you guys, I will be starting up my  YouTube again and making videos and vlogs and such , so be on the lookout for that.  Also, I'm going on a very exciting trip In two months ,  But I have just been finishing up the last couple of weeks  of school.  Also, my 22nd birthday was two weeks ago on April 1st, and I must say I've had already learned some lessons.  I've learning for the past two years how important taking time for yourself is, and I haven't really been doing that. So I think for the next couple of weeks I'm just going to be focusing on my blog and taking time for myself and just really focusing on the things that matter and that are super important. Also like I bet you guys are like What she renamed her blog , yup I renamed my blog to "TheStyleJounalirst" Simply because it was different , something I really liked and describes how my blog is somewhat going to be.

I'm just really ready to expand my content and what my blog is about and makes it something epic and exciting.

How To Prepare For Spring

Hey loves ! So i just wanted to pop in real quick and let you guys know whats happening. So this is my last blog post until the re-launch of my blog site which will be in two weeks launching on my 22nd birthday April 1st. so enjoy this post loves spring is right around the corner and its time to start preparing for it. So I'm going to give you some tips and tricks on how to start preparing for spring. 

Wardrobe Cleanout-  So we all know that us girls love going shopping . So what better way to get prepared for spring than a closet clean out and to bring some  new clothing in.  As girls we tend to have more than what we need, that's why closet cleanouts are good. You can get rid of clothing pieces you no longer wear or like and keep the things you're truly love that way you can have room to add new exciting pieces to your wardrobe.

Decorate Room -  So some girls decorate their rooms according to the season . So with that being said that spring is literally around the corner Redo your room.  Get a new comforter set and some new decorations and make it bright and fun for the new season ahead. Having a boring room can make you not have motivation or be excited to get things done. So if you have an exciting room it will be sure to  get your motivated and up out of bed.

Mood Board-   So I have talked about mood boards in a blog post of mine a while back. Mood boards are cool for your room, not only if you need motivation but they can be a good decoration piece as well.  You can do some many things with a mood board. Cut out magazine pictures  or get some photos from off tumblr, there are tons of ways to get inspiration for your board.


Plan A Trip-   Since spring nad summer are almost in motion, This is the perfect time to start planning your summer get away . Summer and spring are the perfect times to go on a action and just relax and have fun and enjoy yourself and your friends and family.  So get some of your best friends together and plan an awesome trip to start your summer.

Fashion Bloggers

So guys I found this awesome show on youtube titled "Fashion Bloggers" .It's a reality series that follow 5 popular Australian bloggers and their lives. Okay so you already know I was super obsessed because it's a show about bloggers considering I'm a blogger as well. I loved how they showed the girls taking trips , going to meetings and their everyday lives as a  blogger and what goes into a blog post and creating content. I must say watching this show got me super inspired and back motivated considering I  have been In a funk, But I'm no longer in that funk anymore lol.  This show really gave me insight on what it's like being a fulltime blogger sure it's glamorous but these ladies put in a lot of hard work , it's not as easy as it seems you have to give them major props. They definitely gave me some insight on how I personally want to see my blog grow and evolve, Some of you might not know But this weeks blog post on friday will be the last blog post until the Relaunch of my New Blog/Site. I just want my site to be more professional and to just really create some great content for you guys and  to just step it up a little bit with my blog. I'm starting to take my blog more seriously and  I want people to see that in my relaunch especially my audience. I have listened to what my audience wants to see and  I plan on making it happen with the Relaunch of my New blog.   If you're a blogger or aspiring blogger I would highly suggest this show It's great and very inspiring and motivating for the female Entrepreneurs and girlbosses out their and we all know I'm all about Girl Power.  So make sure you check Fashion Bloggers out and let me know what you think about it.  

P.s The relaunch of my blog is on my 22nd birthday April 1st :)

Plug is Patience

I have always struggled with being patient. I'm the type of person when I  want something I want it now, but this year has really challenged me on being a more patient person. Last weekend something happened that took effect on how I was feeling this past week. I've come to the realization that I  still don't understand why things happen the way they do , but I have to be patient with my season and the things to come. Personally when something is not  happening when  I  want it to I  get a little anxious , but I'm working it. I have to constantly work on myself and the practice of being patient and to know that what's for me will always be and that my garden will be fruitful in due time.  When you're a patient person things appear more clearer and flow a lot better .  So to anyone out their struggling with being patient you are not alone.  When your patient you can truly allow all the great things life has to offer you flow more easily into your life with out rushing your season. 

Spring Must Haves

So spring is right around the corner. This means we have to start getting our wardrobe in tact for the spring weather.  I'm going to share with you guy's some of my Must have pieces for this spring . Hope you enjoy! <3

1. Moisturizing lotion  - Having a good moisturizer is good because our skin tends to naturally get dry in the summer ,so we have to keep our face hydrated.  It is also good to have a moisturizer to go under your makeup so your make up will sit better. 

2.  Satchel handbag  - Now in the summer time when I'm going out I don't like to carry around my big purse , I would rather have a satchel little purse I could carry something that is lightweight. Especially during coachella, You want to have a little crossbody bag. 

3. Good workout regimen - We all want those nice summer toned bodies, but honestly do some of us work for them or hope for them. I think when you get your self a work out routine on what you eat and how much you  spend exercising you will start to see changes and a lifestyle change as well.  You should start eating healthier and incorporating workout ino=to your daily routine as much as possible, Having a healthy life style is great. 

4. SunScreen -  Spring break is here and summer is right around the corner. That means laying out more, going to the pool and beach. It also means taking care of our body while out in the sun, sunscreen is always go when going on ba vacation.  You don't want to end up sun burned. So don't forget to put on sunscreen when going to the beach. 

5. Good Foundation -  So typically we go for the dewy look when summer is here, but some of us have oil skin . Make sure you get the perfect foundation for summer but also for your skin type weather its oily or combination of both.  It plays a huge part i how your makeup looks, you don't want have a foundation that doesn't match your skin tone after you been tanning. So make sure you update and switch out your foundations.

I would like you guys to meet Cole & Tawana, both the Founders and Creator of the L.A based boutique "HOUSEOFCHIC.LA".  I stumbled across the boutique  and the owners literally yesterday and I instantly fell in love with the site.  These two lovely ladies with bubbly personalities and a good sense of fashion and style came together one lvoely aftrenoon in L.A and had a meeting over coffee and started the "HOUSEOFCHIC.LA" Boutqiue and the rest was history.  I know their  are  lot of boutiques out there, but I must say this one is hands down my all time favorite. The variety they have on their site and the looks are incredible.  It's definitely a mixture between sassy with a hint of class and attitude.  I am an advocate for dressing up on a daily weather its a special occasion or not, they sure do give you a variety of cute stylish clothing to pick from.  Some of my favorite pieces on the site are the "join  the festivities ruffle shirt" and  the "Hotline striped romper" They have so many great pieces to choose from , especially if you're a fashionista looking to update your wardrobe. So if I was you guys I would head on over and check them out. Also if you're looking for some great fashionista and girl bosses give the owners a follow. <3

How To Stay Motivated

So, Do you agree with me that at times , We feel so not  motivated or inspired. I mean come on 

It happens to the best of us.  We all go through a period of which were not inspired or it's hard or us to really be motivated to proceed with what we have to work on .  I'm going to share some things that may help you get inspired again. 

1. Wake up early-  So I know we are all not morning people. But I found out   waking up early really helps jump start your day. I am not a morning person but When I do decided to get up early I feel really great and energized. 

2. Meditate-    I know everyone isn't into the whole meditation thing, But hey some of you guys don't even give it a chance to do it's thing. I started meditating a year ago and I can tell you that it not only centers me but also makes me have a clearer mind , and I'm able to get more ideas flowing. 

3. Master Jam Mix-  I don't know about you ,but good music always puts me in an AMAZING! mood.  A good morning Playlist that really gets you going can also motivate you. Music is such a great a  tool to change up anyone's  mood, weather their angry or sad. 

4. To-DO-List- Knowing that I have a calendar or schedule to go by or what I may have to do that day, makes me  excited. Me personally I  love running errands, it just gives you something to do when you think you're so bored.  I love being organized and knowing that I have my tasks to do for the day written down so I won't forget them. 

5. Be Positive-  Soon as you wake up In the morning and you have gratitude , it can really make your day so much brighter. Waking up an choosing your happiness and being in a goo mood, Really can dictate how your day is going to be. So try not to be sad cheer up and know that something amazing is coming. 

FifthHarmony GirlDomination

Hey guys so I'm  super excited to be talking about Fifth Harmony in today's blog post. 

We have been with these girls since Xfactor and seen how much  they have grown. Their new album

titled 7/27 will  be released May 20th, with their new hit single "Work From Home" .I've listened to their latest single and I must say its a must listen to song. These girls are older,sexier and singing about work from  home with their potential guys.  This new single is sophisticated and the girls are  coming into their womanhood. I love this and how the girls are really stepping  it up and talking about being a woman and having a man in their songs.  Some fans are like OMG they're talking about sex, but guess what that's apart of growing up and becoming a woman.  I personally love the new route the girls are going ,Their vocals have grown and gotten stronger and they're just all around good. We tend to think girls groups or groups in general won't stick around but these girls are going to be in it  for a while. They have had a  lot of success and a lot of fans who support them and their only getting better.  Do you guys like their new look and new music, comment or put your input below and tell me what you think .

MarriedToTheMob Leah Mcsweeny

Meet Girlboss and CEO of "MarriedToTheMob" Leah Mcsweeny! This street style wear is a clothing for the girls who took the road less traveled. This is a brand that's for daring, risk taking  girlboss ladies.  The idea for this organic line of streetwear for woman came in 2004.  I recently watched a panel on HerAgenda of leah talking about how she couldn't keep a job because she just hated  authority and that she would just always rather being doing her own thing. I mean that's typically how entrepreneurs think , We don't do well with other people giving us orders we would rather be our own  boss and making all the plans on what's the next move. Being in a industry that's predominately  for males, it can intimidate woman but not leah. She states yes getting the recognition she deserved was hard but that's with any anything weather your a female  or male.  In my opinion you have to make people respect you and your brand. It's not something that's just given.  The girlboss also stated that She gets thrown shade but it's not a pretty industry and it's not for softies.  Being an entrepreneur within in self will have people talking. Saying things like well how does she expect to do this when she doesn't even know how to do x,y,z. People are going to be haters and confused admirers as I like to say regardless, you just have to go out prove them wrong and just do you.    Leah is pretty level headed and strong willed, she doesn't take shit from anyone.  Especially being a woman in the industry , men think we are incapable of being in a  position where we are an authority figure and we call the shots.  We have to remind them we are highly capable of dominating in a man's world. They must of forgot who run the world Girls!

Perfectly Imperfect

Hey guys , so this post is going to be a little different . This topic is something that I have been.wanting to talk about for a while, so I finally decided to do a post on it.  I decided to title this blog post "Perfectly Imperfect" because  In our society we think woman have to be portrayed as "Perfect"   I came to realize a long time ago that , No one is perfect no one! So if they say they are they are lying. We all have flaws and things we would like to change. Now  some of goes to the extent of getting  surgery to fix those flaws and nothing is wrong with that , just as long as you're making a decision to where it's for a good reason and your happy.  Growing up we all watched T.V and looked at magazines and seemingly wanted to look like or be like that person we saw. Growing up for me I dealt with a lot of self esteem issue and so on. But as I have gotten older i've realized to love myself for me and accept my flaws no matter what. My flaws are what makes be beautiful . I've learned to love myself unconditionally and let me tell you , it's been the best thing i've ever done to really truly love myself from the inside out took a lot of work on my part.  Everyone's journey is different but our society needs to stop portraying people in the media as perfect because no one is perfect.  We need to start talking more about self love and self acceptance. That's something the media doesn't talk about, my goal is to empower women to support one another and bring in a sisterhood. To inspire girls and woman and let them know baby girl you have to love yourself a little bit more and a little bit harder.  This society is so dependent on  a woman having to need a man to tell her she's beautiful or smart or talented. If you already know those things then your partner will only have to know it as well.  we wonder why girls are so obsessed with being smaller, prettier etc because they seen things in the media that tells them they're not beautiful oh you have to look like this to be considered as beautiful.  Girls and woman let me tell you this , we are queens, we are beautiful . we are all full of magic . Learn to love the body and skin you are in. Learn to take time to love and appreciate yourself.  My self love journey as been one that has been transforming and truly eye opening. I am 21 going on 22 this year in April . I have learned so much about myself and the things I want in life, the people I want to be surrounded by and the things I want to do.  A all those things though come from self worth and loving yourself whole. So I take a stand to tell you lovely girls , You are all beautiful . You don't have the be the media perception of what they define is beautiful , be your own kind of beautiful. Look in the mirror and say girl you are flawless and full of magic . Don't be afraid to tell yourself I Love You! My fellow queens enjoy your flaws, find beauty in them . They will make you see all the things you didn't before. With love Xoxo-DameshaRae 

Remember this : You don't have to be perfect to be beautiful.
