    Another tip: stock up on hair products for natural hair and makeup products, especially foundation for people of color.

    You are very generous and transparent with information bro. You know how our people are with success 🇿🇦, they close down and start suspecting everyone around them of jealousy and bad intensions. So they don't share the specific delaits of how to get to where they are and that's ok but come on🤦. You're agreat man, and I do believe that even if there are people who might have negative feelings towards your success, you're only affected by that energy If you fear it and believe in it.... If you went through your journey transparently and without taking away from anyone else then your path is pure thus protected 🤷.

    I am headed to China this spring and this is my current struggle! Everyone keeps saying the same, "You can replenish your wardrobe there, and cheaply. Don't pack so much!" But it's hard! I am a "yes, but just in case" and "yes, but this is my favorite" kind of girl. Finally, after this, I am going to listen and trim it down. Thank you. 🙏
