Heyyyy, I’ve missed you guys! 💕

I scrubbed my page because a lot of what was in here didn’t feel like me anymore… and I told myself that when I did get back on social media, I was ONLY posting what actually felt aligned.

I have every gadget you can think of, a beautiful home, and plenty of ideas, yet somehow I still convinced myself that “I couldn’t” record content… LOL. I will legit overthink myself into sitting still for days….. (I can’t be the only one…)

This year makes 10 years of entrepreneurship (yes TEN!!🥳)
And I’ve learned toooo much and made tooooo much money to keep playing small or hiding.

So fck it, I’m posting… imperfectly…. And challenging myself to consistency!

Sharing real life, workdays, affiliate finds, and this education platform I’ve been creating….

So, CHEERS!!! 🥂 HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 2026 has already been doing its thaaaaannnnnggg💕 by @iamoctaviaj

💗This is my idea of a GOOD TIME! lol…
Extremely grateful, extremely blessed!
I’ll take this any day of the week!

The Body Creamery on the BAWDYYYY… by @iamoctaviaj

Spend the day with me 🤎

The older I get, the more I understand the need to just get OUTSIDE. Between motherhood, business, responsibilities and always having something on my mind, I’ve really started appreciating days where I can move my body, get some fresh air and enjoy good company.

Today my girls @bakvri , @leadavis1 & I hiked Stone Mountain for the first time in forever, and baby… them gym days are PAYING OFF……..I got up there way easier than I expected.

Now had I known the sun was gonna give me a whole tan, I would’ve worn my bikini top. Missed opportunity. 👎🏽

@tammecaj who is literally the life of the party had already made it to the top but came back DOWN the mountain to get us just to turn around and go right back up with us. She loved the way I smelled… lol lol

Afterwards we headed to Cherokee Rose because we earned a meal, it just wasn’t the right meal 🫠

Service: 10/10 🤎
Food: 2/10 🥴😂
All things considered,
The day itself: exactly what I needed.

Good company, a good workout, plenty of laughs, and a few hours where I wasn’t sitting behind my computer working.

Workout set: @boandtee
Hair: @asiamnaturally
Body: @olay
Skincare: @youthtothepeople
Lips: @sacheubeauty + @anastasiabeverlyhills
Cheeks: @hudabeauty
Brows: @rarebeauty

Three months. THOUSANDS of dollars…

That’s how long one mistake set this project back.

I thought I had the right plans.
I thought I had the right team.
I thought we were making progress.

Turns out… we had to go back to the drawing board.

Opening this brick-and-mortar has been one of the most humbling things I’ve ever done, but every setback has taught me something I couldn’t have learned any other way.
If you know me, then you know I’m pretty transparent and this is No different… a lot of business owners only show you the good parts.. id prefer to show you it all..….

This is just the beginning of Building the Body Creamery. 🍦
I can’t wait to start designing with y’all…. It’s almost that timeeeee….

I wonder if y’all can really tell what I’m building😬😬 by @iamoctaviaj

A girls’ day was long overdue…. ☀️🍹💻

So a day pass at a rooftop pool in Atlanta is always a vibe…
The crazy part is, while y’all see me eating, drinking, cackling with my homegirls… I was also simultaneously trying to get my storefront back on track after one of the biggest setbacks I’ve had so far.

Sometimes changing your environment is exactly what you need to keep going.

Now… about that phone call from my new GC….

Chileeeeeee….. by @iamoctaviaj

lol, when you invite entrepreneurs to the event…

I’m sorry, I don’t know how to toggle off work mode sometimes…

If I have my laptop with me, there’s a 99.9% chance I’m opening it and getting to work… either way, I’m still having a blast.. 🤣 by @iamoctaviaj
