26 oct 23 IVIYE's back I just wanted to share this... Yes. It's true. I've relaunched IVIYE patterns after many months of contemplation. I'm uploading the patterns as we speak and will be sharing new designs in the coming weeks, along with a subscription model. Also, I'll be selling 100% woven and knit linen on the site. It's my fabric of choice and I'm true to it. Menee's not going anywhere and actually, there are some pretty cool things going on behind the scenes. I'll be able to share them...

29 sept 23 let it fall apart In a world where we're often told to keep everything together, there's something strangely liberating about letting things just fall apart. It's like saying, "Hey, it's okay, crap happens... it's a part of life, even when it hurts." We're not being careless or apathetic. We're realizing that not everything is meant to stay the same forever. Sometimes, things need to crumble to make space for something new and better, just like how a forest fire, while destructive,...

24 sept 23 let's work together Happy Fall!🍂☕️🪵 I know it's Sunday, so pardon my disruption to your inbox... but this is important. I know things haven't been easy for many of us these past few years, and I'd like to make a difference where I can. So, here's a gentle reminder. The Menee Stylist Program license fees have been halved (50% off) for the 1-year ($175), 3-year ($500), and lifetime ($2,500) plans. This Program is different for sure. When I came up with it, I wanted to: Assign...

14 sept 23 no need for humble This topic burns me up. Honestly, it's a trigger because I've been told this many times. Straight... no chaser: If anyone tells you to humble yourself, they likely don't have your best interest at heart. I even dare to say they're speaking from insecurity. Women are natural leaders. But, we're told to step down from our own excellence to appease the lack of confidence in others. Our job? Don't listen. I'm not down for being mean-spirited in any way, but we have...

7 sept 23 is this the cause of my belly bulge? I've wondered why getting rid of my midsection pooch was so hard. I did some research and found there could be an anatomical condition behind my muffin top. The medical term is diastasis recti. In post-pregnant women, diastasis recti is a condition in which the rectus abdominis muscle separated due to the pressure the fetus placed on it. But, anyone can have or develop diastasis recti, even men. Now how can you tell if you have diastasis? Lie on...

25 aug 23 wellness can't do withouts End of summer, back to work, back to school, back indoors. Back to extra emphasis on wellness and building our health. Throughout the year I rotate my supplements as needed. But, the 2 immune boosters that are always on my counter are black seed oil and oil of oregano. I take black seed oil daily. I take oil of oregano when I've been in crowded spaces, once a week during cooler months, or when I feel something coming on. I use the following brands and have...
