Hello Reader, I hope you're having a peaceful Sunday and are looking forward to a new week filled with possibilities. As we step into another week, I want to encourage you to keep growing, keep learning, and keep making room for the things that bring meaning and joy to your life. For me, one of those things is my little backyard container garden. 🌱 I am currently experimenting with growing cucumbers, and I'm excited to see what happens next! I'm growing it because I enjoy eating it, but also...

Hello Reader, Today I woke up unusually peaceful, and it got me thinking about the woman I have become. At 50+, I can see my life hasn't been a straight line. It started with a job in radio that I thought was administrative, until I was handed a receipt book and told to go into sales. I was also given the microphone, which led me to artistes' interviews, hosting events, crocheting for joy, and tending a little container garden. I realized that I didn't know I was building her. Every skill I...

Hi Reader, If you have been following my container garden journey or brewing along with recipes from The Herbal Tea Wellness Starter Guide, you know how much I love keeping things simple, intentional, and rooted in traditional Caribbean wellness. Whether I'm harvesting fresh mint from my containers or steeping a soothing cup of soursop leaf tea after a busy week, I frequently get asked the same couple of questions: Queen Gee, where do you source the herbs you can't grow yourself? What...

Hello Reader, Back in 2017, I registered Mystique Professional Services with a clear dream: to build an Entertainment PR and Sponsorship Marketing business. And then... I put it on a shelf. For nine years, I made excuses. I told myself I didn't have the right connections, that the industry was too crowded, and most recently, "Who wants to work with a woman in her 50s launching something new? The truth? I had a severe case of imposter syndrome. Fear was stealing my joy and making me feel like...

Hello Reader, Happy Saturday! 🌿 I have been reflecting on all the different pieces of my life - herbal wellness, container gardening, crochet, and now relationship-led B2B sales. For a long time, I wondered if I needed to choose just one. However, I have realized something important: I wasn't building four different lives. I was living one life with a common purpose. 🌿 Growing wellness🧶 Creating beauty👑 Living confidently🤝 Building meaningful relationships That's the heart of my new blog...

Hello Reader, I am sitting down at my desk today with a hot cup of Cuban Oregano tea - bold, aromatic, and deeply comforting. On my crochet hooks this week? Two statement ruffle hats (one crisp white, one classic black) for a queen. Over on the blog today, I am sharing a real reflection on Purpose-Led Growth at 57. The quick takeaway: Having a solid plan does not mean knowing every single step ahead. Real confidence is not about rigid certainty; it is about holding a steady compass, trusting...

Hey Reader, Happy Sunday to you. I hope you are easing into the day with something warm in your hand and a little quiet before the week picks up speed. I am starting this new week with a simple intention. My cousin recently brought home an oregano plant, and I have decided I want to grow my own from it, right here in my backyard container garden. I plan to take a cutting from her plant and see what it takes to root it, grow it, and eventually brew it into tea. I do not have all the answers...

Hello Reader, How have you been? I hope your week was all that you desired and more. This week reminded me that some of the most meaningful growth happens quietly. There wasn't a big milestone or dramatic breakthrough. Instead, there were small moments that made me pause and smile. I have been away from home for a little over a week. As such, I miss watching my herbs grow, harvesting fresh green mint for another cup of tea, and taking time to be present. I will get back to it soon, though,...

Hi Reader, I hope your week went well and that you are having a wonderful weekend! 💚 Today I found myself reflecting on the very first blog post I published on my wellness journey, and it reminded me why I started this path in the first place. My wellness journey didn’t begin with perfection or trends. It began with loss, reflection, and a decision to take my health more seriously after losing my mother in 2017 and facing my own respiratory health scare the following year. That season pushed...
