but the best thing is they have a specialty boxes, like vegan or kosher only snacks but also 

they specifically offer boxes for menstruating guys and nb folks. 

which is pretty darn cool.

I delight in the financial security that is a constant in my life.

I am open and receptive to all the wealth in the Universe.

Money is an integral part of my life and is never away from me.

I delight in the financial security that is a constant in my life.

I am an unlimited being accepting from an unlimited source in an unlimited way.

Unexpected money simply falls into my lap.

I always have more than enough money to meet my needs.

Before you begin:

• Know what you want. What you really want. And don’t think of “how” you’ll get it.

• Write the desire in present tense on a card. It is now your goal card.

• Carry this card with you and read it often. This is putting the desire into your subconscious mind.

• Check if your goal is really what you want. Can you imagine bigger? Are you letting fear stop you? Are you answering your soul’s calling with this? 

Night:

• How you fall asleep determines what shows up in your life. Everytime. Without fail. So we start our day how we fell asleep the night before, actually. Ask your self one question before you sleep: “If my wishes were fulfilled, how would I feel?” Fall asleep to that question satisfied.

• Record an MP3 or voice note of your OWN voice, reciting positive affirmations. Get examples online but personalize them. Your subconscious mind trusts your own voice. Use it. 

• Never ever let yourself fall asleep feeling stress or failure. Don’t invite it in. 

Morning:

• When your eyes open, set your intention for the day. 

• Did you have any dreams last night? Write them down.

• Write 5 things you’re grateful for. Increase to 10 after a while and begin to include wishes that are yet to manifest e.g. “I’m grateful I now weigh __” 

Day:

• Read

Think And Grow Rich

by Napoleon Hill. (PDF’s online) Read slowly and reflectively. 

• Read Feeling Is The Secret by Neville Goddard (PDF’s online) 

• The Secret

 book/DVD is great for beginners but you’re going to have to dig deeper to pull this off. 

•

Do what makes you smile. Read, play your music, call a friend, go for walks. Do whatever you can to lighten your mood. 

•

Write about your desire as if it’s already happened. 

•

Visualize your life ASSUMING the desire has already happened. How do you feel? What are you wearing? Where are you? Was manifesting easy and fun?

Remember:

• Bruce Lee, Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Oprah Winfrey, Big Sean, Conor McGregor

and countless others have used this formula. It works, and it will work for you.

Look. Hoe Tips had me right all summer. Skin glowing. Hair flowing. Hydrated as fuck. 

Hoe: a term used to try and degrade an individual ( a woman) that is just living in their own freedoms of being sexually liberated. 

So because I was blessed with the tips, why not share the wealth?

Buckle up hoes, cause we gettin right ALL SUMMER 2018. 

1. Water. Water. Water. Water. Water. Drench yahself hoe. Thanks to the white man not believing in climate change, it’s getting real in these streets. We’re cooking eggs on the sidewalks. Bringing fans outside. You know what we’re not doing though? Dying of thirst. 

2. Exfoliate: face, lips, body. All dat. You will truly feel like a brand new person after you scrub all of that dead skin off of yourself. 

3. Keep a Hoe Bag on deck. What’s a hoe bag you may ask? A bag you keep on you that has all of your overnight necessities. This varies from person to person. Example (a few things I keep in my bag):

Clean underwear

Bottle of Water

Makeup Remover

Small toothbrush and toothpaste 

Simple outfit(maxi dress, romper, jumpsuit, etc)

Medications

Your Hoe Bag is particular to you. Whatever you need. Whatever makes you feel comfortable.

4. KNOW YOUR BOUNDARIES. RESPECT YOUR BOUNDARIES. Let’s think of your very being, as your home. Now let’s say someone just comes in on some bullshit and starts throwing stuff all around your home. You gonna let somebody disrespect the house you pay rent in? Uh, I think the fuck not, so why do you let them do it to you? 

  If this is hard for you no worries darlin, grab a pen and paper and jot down what you do and don’t like.

Ex: I don’t like hugs like that, so when people reach in for a hug and I’m not really with it, I’ll reach out and dap em up. Now they know for further reference.

Enforcing these boundaries will of course take some time, but always hold true to YOU. 

Alright let’s get down to business bitches. Confidence gets you into places, out of situations and gets you things. Keep in mind you are NOT going to be confident everyday, that is normal. You are going to have to work on your confidence until you are alive. But if you have gotten to the point where you have your mind set, you feel comfortable in your skin and are willing to gain confidence you CANNOT fail.

1. I’ve mentioned this before but FAKE IT TIL YA MAKE IT HOE. Believe you are confident in who you are and act accordingly until you actually start to genuinely feel it.

2. Stand straight, sit straight. Basically keep your back tall in every position. It makes you look like you know why you are here and what you are doing.

3. Walk with your head forward, back straight, shoulders down and at a regular pace ( a little faster than normal). NO ONE fucks with someone who walks determined I kid you not. If you have a face that show determination and projects as if you know what’s up you could say the most outlandish thing people will still believe you

4. Be kind, but witty. Be a bitch, but a kind bitch. Kind to everyone until someone oversteps you, that’s when you stop being kind and stop playing their games.

5. Wear things YOU feel comfortable in. Idk who says what. Something might look better than other things, but if you like it just wear it for god’s sake who cares.

6. Which bring me to my next point. DONT GIVE A FUCK once again just fake it. You can go home and cry about it later, but to their face dont even move a muscle. Here’s my rule: dont care about strangers thought, care about people who are extremely close to you. Thats that.

7. Dont ever compare yourself to other girls. Trust me on this: EVERYONE is insecure about something. I kid you not, everyone. Some people are just great actors about it. You can be too. Just dont compare yourself, move on, look at a painting, eat idk just take your mind off of it.

Extra Dry Skin King of Skin In-Shower Body Conditioner, Skin Drink Facial Moisturizer, Sultana of Soap Bar, Tender is the Night Massage Bar, Each’s a Peach Massage Bar

Acne Fresh Farmacy Solid Cleanser, Eau Roma Toning Water, Full of Grace Serum Bar

Thickening Lashes Eyes Right Mascara / Lash Milk

Edges R&B Hair Moisturizer (if you put this on your edges before wrapping your hair, they’ll be relaxer-straight when you wake up, lasts about 12 hours), Dirty Styling Cream (cream-based edge control with a matte finish, no more shiny or crunchy edges) 

FACE / HAIR STUFF

Magical Moringa Facial Moisturizer Oh my lordy. Let me tell y'all about this stuff. It’s marketed as a moisturizer but I use it as a primer because when you put this on your face, it’s completely matte. Like completely. All day. And it will lock your makeup in place like no other. You can sweat in it, swim in it, whatever. Shit won’t budge. Ever.

Jason & the Argan Oil Shampoo Bar Amazing for volumizing. It made the three bundles in my head look more like five when I used this thing the first time, I kid you not. Also gives your hair a really natural shine. I only use it when I really need a volume boost, otherwise it’s just too much.

No Drought Dry Shampoo If you have a weave, you need this stuff. Period. A lot of times, the natural oils in our scalps (referring to my fellow black women here) are too heavy for Brazilian, Peruvian, etc hair, and so it’s easy for weave to get weighed down between washes. Shake this stuff in your hair, brush it out - bam, flow city.

Honey Trap Lip Balm My favorite lip balm, ever. Really improves the texture of your lips and seals in moisture. However, this is not for fixing chapped lips - use Ultrabalm for that first, and then this to prevent them from chapping again. Also, pro-tip, if you apply it before liquid lipstick, your lipstick won’t crease or dry out all day.

MASSAGE BARS

Strawberry Feels Forever Smells like fresh strawberries! Has a much thinner consistency than the other massage bars, so it can be used every day, like a solid lotion.

Soft Coeur Smells like chocolate and honey, and is ridiculously moisturizing. More heavy-duty than the other bars, so I like to only use this one on spots like my knees, heels, and elbows.

From Dusk til Dawn The shape of this one is amazing. It’s shaped like a cone, so it gives a deep massage when you’re using it. Definitely recommend if you have any sort of muscle pain.

SCRUBS

The Rough with the Smooth This stuff smells soooo good. Like cotton candy. I use it before I shave because it really does an amazing job at removing any dead skin and it doesn’t leave a residue, so it won’t clog your razor. However, it’s a sugar scrub, so it melts super quickly.

Ocean Salt This is a heavy-duty scrub. Really amazing if you have dry, flaky skin, and the healing properties of the salt are really great if you have acne. It’ll dry it up and heal it super quick.

Cup o’ Coffee Face & Body Mask I’m on my fourth jar of this already. The coffee beans are ground up just enough to give a deep, yet gentle scrub and the caffeine in the bar really does wake up your skin and make it look brighter. Great for the morning.

Buffy It smells like a vacation, that’s really the only way to describe it. It’s an exfoliant bar and body butter mixed together, so you rub it all over while you’re still in the shower, and then rinse the sand off. After, rub the oils in and pat dry. No need for lotion after because it seals in the moisture from your shower.

SHOWER GELS / JELLIES

Rose Jam Shower Gel Smells like roses and has a really bubbly lather. More cleansing than moisturizing. I like to use it before a more moisturizing soap because it’s great for removing dirt and oil from the skin.

The Olive Branch Shower Gel A long-time favorite of mine. Great for dry skin, as it has a really creamy lather versus a bubbly one. Also, the smell is very calming and lingers for a long time.

Needles & Pines Shower Jelly It’s a solid shower gel (consistency of jello), and it smells like Christmas trees! I like to store it in the fridge and use it when it’s hot outside, super cleansing and refreshing.

SOAPS:

Roses All the Way Personal favorite! Smells like roses & vanilla ice cream. Super moisturizing and so, so creamy. Definitely buy if you suffer from dry skin.

Yog Nog Very moisturizing and the scent lingers for a really long time. Smells like snickerdoodles and eggnog.

Bohemian Not at all creamy, as it’s an exfoliating soap. It’s great to use on dark spots like knees and armpits because the exfoliants soften the skin and the lemon juice evens out your skintone. Smells like lemons.

Karma Another favorite. It has a super thin consistency but is still very moisturizing, so it’s a good shaving soap because it won’t gunk up your razor. Smells like incense and patchouli.

Figs & Leaves Smells like dirt and grass, in a good way. Super cleansing. As in your skin will literally squeak after using it, so I recommend using an in-shower moisturizer like King of Skin after using it.

OTHER:

Atomic Toothy Tabs Solid toothpaste that you crush up in your mouth. It sounds weird but these things are phenomenal. They really leave your teeth squeaky clean, and are the sole reason my teeth are so white - I don’t use any whitening products. This particular kind smells like cloves and cinnamon.

Ultrabalm All Purpose Balm This stuff is amazing. It’s an all-over balm for rough spots. I use it in the winter time on my hands and lips, because they get dry. I also use it year round on my face where I get dry spots, as it doesn’t clog pores.

The worst was when I had customers saying that they were just looking because they didnt know a thing about what they were looking at. A lot of the products look identical on the shelves, but they are all specifically tailored for different needs.

Fun facts:

86% of all products are vegan, the rest are vegetarian

everything is ethically sourced, including the charcoal which comes from recycled forest fires

Lush will cut ties with their suppliers if they dont treat their employees nicely enough

Lush saves 10% of their spending budget for emergencies, like when a well broke down in one of their suppliers companies over in Kenya and Lush found out they were lowering women into the well, that money didnt just go to repairing the well, but for getting them a second well as well.

Lush even makes perfume but the scents are about stories instead of smells. There’s a little booklet for each one. My favorites are Dear John (about the owner, Mark, not knowing who his dad was) and Dad’s Lemon Tree (which he made after meeting his dad)

Lush also makes makeup, although they are working on getting more pigments

Lush is 21 years old and in 57 countries!

Charity Pot is a lotion that is low scent as not to mix with your other scents, is a lot of cocoa butter, and 100% goes to grassroots charities, they dont even pay people to make it, that’s how good it is

If you bring in 5 black pots (wash them please, they are dishwasher safe) you can get a free fresh face mask

Lush is the inventor of the bathbomb and most of them have essential oils in them and cocoa butter, so they’re not just fun, but they’re actually really good for your skin

There is a Lush Facebook page but more importantly is that there are local Lush facebooks. You can ask them if something is in stock and they’ll get back to you as quickly as possible (the Alderwood location takes only a few hours)

Anything that looks like a big brick of product is sold by weight. Just ask and they will cut you off a piece to fit your budget

FREE SAMPLES. Feel free to ask. They do NOT want to sell you something that is not right for you

Everything is handmade with commercial kitchen like equipment. This is why things don’t always look the same, because the recipe changes and different people are making it. Leave room for error and basically Guenivere likes adding more pigment than Brendan does but Brendan makes seasonal stuff that’s fantastic. It’s not that it’s gone off or is poorly made. There’s a little sticker that shows you who made it and it also has the expiration date on it

It the ingredient list is both green and black, the green is for natural ingredients and black is for synthetic.

ALRIGHT. LISTEN UP.
