a little about Brittany leary
Tell us a little about yourself and how you got started on the journey of creating your cosmetic line.
Growing up as a young lady, I've always had a passion for hair and make-up. I started off doing family and friend's hair at a young age at no cost because I love to make a person feel and look beautiful. However, life set in, so my dreams were set aside, and I became an employee. I gave that company my all. Therefore, working for a company that didn't appreciate me was hard to manifest. Nonetheless, in February 2019, the company I worked hard for chose to lay me off. At this point, I knew God had a plan for me. Consequently, I made a promise to myself that I will no longer put my all in someone else's business. However, I will be putting my all in my own business. I made a promise to myself to start doing what I love, which was hair and make-up. I never completely let my side hustle go, which is hair and make-up because I knew I was good at what I do. Meanwhile, my clientele starts growing. I realized I was paying out so much money when it came to buying make-up and hair bundles; I thought to myself I need to start my cosmetic line and hairline. Hence all this money I spend, I can invest in myself. Therefore I started researching different companies and vendors until I found the one that represents my brand. Indeed this was one of my most significant accomplishments and the right thing for me. Everything I accomplished in 2019 became real, so Sweet Arburn Beauty had been growing ever since. So I started small, and now I have 25 different colors of matte lipstick and two eyeshadow palettes. Also, my cosmetic line is animal cruelty-free products.
How have your journey been so far?
This journey has been hard. I have many nights where I felt like I wanted to give up. I was dealing with so much that I got so overwhelmed. Incidentally, the week before I launched my business, I received a phone call that my grandmother was getting sicker, and she wasn't doing well. Furthermore, my grandmother was my heart, so I took a step back and started spending more time with her. However, I told her that I was starting my own company. She then looked at me and said: "go for it. Besides, I've always told you to start your own business. Therefore, I told my grandma that I'm naming one of my colors after her calling it: Sweet Mary. She then smiled at me. However, a month later, my grandmother passed, but I pushed through the pain and launched my lipsticks with the first one being Sweet Mary, which sold out quickly. At that point, I knew my grandma was my angel guiding me through the process.
Please tell us about your cosmetic line.
I have a beauty line name Sweet Arburn which specializes in cosmetics, but we also carry mink lashes and hair extensions. However, my cosmetic line features two different eye shadow pallets and one that glows in the dark and 25 different matte lipstick colors. Besides, my products are made with love, and once you wear Sweet Arburn, you will feel good and look good. What sets Sweet Arburn aside from other companies I don't focus on the outside beauty but the inside beauty as well. Sweet Arburn is a family-oriented company that has a little something for everyone.

There were times i really wanted to give up . Because the sales were slow, I felt like I wasn’t getting support everyone who I thought would support me.Then I Had to tell myself this is my dream and my vision and I would get through it and I did.

Creative Piece By:Pimpen
I gaze upon your moist ground before I start
And smile at the thought of putting life
Inside of it.
An intimate flame engulfs me…
I clutch my hoe and begin.
The first heave penetrates your soft soil
Like a hot blade through flesh.
I gyrate my tool to loosen up your insides before
Reloading.
Like a seasoned gardener,
I send the strokes repeatedly, mechanically.
Forceful stabs plunge into your earth.
Grunts jog through the air as I work.
Rhythmically—
Up
Down
Gyrate
Sweet drops from my face and onto yours.
Your inside get looser, softer,
And it excites me!
Visions of the offspring enchant me.
My strokes get harder and faster!
Up down gyrate!
And thrice again,
Until fatigue steals my muscles and lungs.
Pleasure dances hand in hand with passion inside of
Me and…
Deep inside your soil, I plant my seeds.

A little about Jus Jazz
Tell us a little about yourself, and how you got started on your journey of being a musical lyricist.
My journey started from total state of frustration. I went through life suppressing every situation that came to me, even situations I put myself in. One day I decided to write my feelings down in a notebook while listening to music and it hit me. Maybe I should make a song. I thought to myself I can’t be the only feeling or dealing with these emotions. It was like a new type of therapy and it actually felt good. I started writing my feelings down like once a week and finding different beats to create something of real substance. Something my peers could relate too, that raw emotions. I finally released some music and the feedback I received from me releasing my emotions was shocking and amazing at the same time.
How have your journey been so far?
So far it’s been rocking honestly on the music side but on the therapy side and getting through my feelings is absolutely REFRESHING!!
Please tell us about your music and lyrics.
I’m a indie artist who just simply want to be heard. Not looking for fame just self clarity.
What was some obstacles you faced while trying to perfect your gift in music?
Sometimes it hard to translate my thoughts into rhymes but practices makes perfection 😊
What advice will you give others who are starting on their spiritual path?
Believe in yourself! Understand yourself.. Find yourself!
What can we look forward to seeing from you in the future?

My journey began from birth truly, born into a family were the realization of energy, vibes and crystals were apart of daily ongoings. July 4, 2020 is the daily I truly understood the journey was becoming my own and to let my ancestors, my spirit guides, my angles and universe guide my path along with my own intuitive intuition.
