Dear Afrikan ,

Happy Month of August  a.k.a

Leo and Virgo season!

The birth month to yummy muvas  

like Charlize Theron and Meagan Good!

Hint* Hint* The Summer is almost Over!

I could indulge you to rock that peach off-shoulder

From Zara and

relish your last days of

beach  tanning ,

OR

I could invite you to my August Challenge,

where I (politely) invite you to drop

ONE (SMALL) BAD HABIT,

and nominate your close to join you...

We all know Beyonce lied when

she sang about the "flawless" concept.

Everything is flawed, including you and I.

 This challenge is an effort to

improve our personalities,

by handling one small flaw

at a time so as to avoid a

hot mess of never ending flaws.

So are you ready?

HOW TO DROP A

BAD HABIT TODAY!

#AUGUSTCHALLENGE

Photography By Matthew Takes

STEP 1:

• a List of four or five bad flaws you secretly acknowledge that you need to work on, to become a better person!
• If in doubt, consult your  over a nice  
• Truthfully, you don't need to ask anyone. You know yourself. *Consider the examples below:

*Disclaimer these examples are only used for demonstration.

1. I want to lose 5 pounds this month. 39.6% people planned to lose weight as one of their 2016 resolutions according to Huffington Post.
2. I want to stop shopping online; save the money and pay off my collection debts. According to that same article, 30.1 % of people planned to save more and spend less . Another 27.5% planned to pay down all their debt.
3. I want to stop talking to this fuckboy. Hopefully, I can wean myself off him, somehow?  Psychology Today reports a 70% involvement in casual sex among 18-25-year-olds.
4. I want to stop spending all my time on Instagram. This CNN article mentions that young people spend up to 9 hours on Social media daily.
