10 years of Holy Matrimony!!! TEN!!!!

To some, we’re just getting started. To others, we’ve beat the odds. To us, we’re simply enjoying every. single. day.

Every moment, every season has been a constant, flowing reminder that this place—with one another—is where we’re best.

I still can’t wrap my mind around the fact that 10 calendar years have passed since we said, “I do.” I remember our wedding day as clearly as if it happened yesterday. I remember the music, the feelings, the sounds, the sights, the smells. I remember the excitement and the jitters.

I can instantly recall our first date at #CornerSocialHarlem!

It has all happened so fast, but somehow, it isn’t a blur.

We’ve been blessed to cover so many miles together—to live through seasons, reasons, changes, discoveries and purpose. And through it all, we’ve continued to choose one another.

Now, as we rediscover each other in yet another new season, with an entire decade behind us, I’m reminded of something I know for sure:

We deserve one another.
We’ve earned this love.
We’ve earned this life.

And I’d choose it—and you—all over again.

Happy 10th Anniversary to my beautiful husband, Tony. ❤️

Our friend Paul photographed our engagement photos, so it was only befitting that he captured us 10 years later, too.

Forever,
Tony & Naja

Before you jump to conclusions, we’re not saying you can’t have friends of the opposite sex. What we are saying is that some women think they’re being loyal to their friendship when in reality they actually have a lack of healthy boundaries and respect for their partner.

I almost went there y'all! This morning I heard the faint notion of doubt. That little snot said, "Girl, bye! Who do you think you are? You ain't Fenty, you ain't Kylie, you ain't even Fashion Fair! What gives you the unmitigated gall to think you could start a beauty company?!"
Then I SNAPPED TF out of it because I remember who and whose I AM. More about the pic on a sec!

Those little pesky seeds of doubt can kill our dreams before we even get out of the bed. Our ego wants to keep us in a safespace....and there's an intimate safety in familiarity. The fear of the unknown is a dense place.

I had to remind myself that I've literally sat on the floor of our Harlem apartment and brainchiled TWO big brands! I created brands for humans with shared pains (don't believe me google: #VIPStepmom, #BlendedandBlack, and #IKnowI'mCrazywithNaja Hall). Just like I created those brands for US, I'm doing it with #NajaHallBeauty .

Anyway (because this post is getting pretty long), I went to The MET to check out the new exhibits and I was chilling outside and I was approached by a 4"3 literal piece of Sunshine in human form. Ms. Sybil said, "WHOA, I like your hat and this outfit! What is it!?" I giggled because it's my "I'm super bloated but make it fashion" look. I said "Thank ya kindly ma'am." And I explained my fit. She then complimented my makeup (ALL #NajaHallBeauty products) and said, "I LOVE colors. I'm so short so I always had to wear colors to be seen." I feel ya Ms. Sybil.

You can't see her whole getup in the picture but BABYYYY Ms. Sybil was dressed for the gawds! Her 85-year self had just finished a 4-mile walk at Strawberry fields and she just beamed. She smiled so much that I couldn't stop smiling!

Before I got in my cab, she said, "It's so important that we all talk to each other.That's what makes the world smaller." So now we're pretty much besties and we have a girldate next week. I'm gonna see if I can keep up with her on this long a$$ walk! And if she outdoes me on the walk, I'll take her to The MET to sit and chat Egyptian art in the a/c.

I'm also naming a lipstick after Ms. Sybil...I'll let her choose her shade.
