What’s up beautiful people!? So as promised, the blog gives you a little more information so you can SUPPORT, NETWORK, etc. Here’s the lineup of these amazing ladies (including me) that have shows playing on WDRBMedia. You’ll also see links to their businesses. Remember WDRBMedia is on 24/7, I’m just highlighting some of the people I know that have shows and businesses that I support.

Sundays at 12:30pm EST

I met Toya through my Bridal Makeup bestie, Courtney of Courtney K Beauty. Toya is an amazing hairstylist and has an amazing show that touches on a lot of different subjects. She recently brought in her boyfriend, Ron to co- host and it definitely gives her show a vibe because you get the male/female perspective (and you can feel the love between them). Here’s how you can connect with Toya:

Again, Courtney for the connect. I was brought in to assist with makeup services for a show that Brittany was doing. We stayed in touch after that show and she has continued to produce show after show that provides awareness for issues like Alzheimer’s disease. IAlign is not only a radio show, Brittany has her hands in dance and music, to name a few. Here’s how to connect with Brittany:

Tuesdays at 8am

I met this talented young lady at my Bennett sisters, Jackie‘s book signing events because she was in charge of the desserts. Again, it’s always good to network because you never know who’s watching, who will pour into you or just say some encouraging words. Here’s how you can stay connected with DiviniT:

Simply Divine Desserts

Tuesdays at 8:30am EST

Listen, when I met C’andra through Courtney, we instantly connected. She is now a cousin, lol. She’s done my hair before, we’ve talked business, we’ve networked together; she is all around good people and I believe you can even hear that through the radio show. She discusses various topics, engages with her audience… you don’t want to miss it. Y’all forgot that I said she did my hair right, so click the link and schedule your appointment:

Tuesdays at 1:15pm

I met Molly through the homie Aj (who is more like a brother). We’ve stayed connected because of her support of me as a Makeup Artist, as well as my support of her business, Ajah Lip Creme. Most of the bridal parties that I have provided makeup services to have received Ajah Lip Creme in their touch up bags to keep their lips popping and moisturized. Here’s how you can stay connected:

Wednesdays at 10am EST

Y’all know me, this is about supporting others.

Fridays at 11:45am EST

I met Kyra when I provided makeup services for her mother’s wedding, loved her spirit. She has since been doing some amazing things, graduated college, started the radio show, has a candle line and I’m sure she has some more up her sleeve. Side note: her mother Tara is a travel agent (click her name for more info).

Make sure y’all listen in and support these amazing women and all the services and products that they are providing, let them know you heard about them from ya girl NiSi.

Through the Eyes of NiSi: Episode 19- Sliding into 40 BearthDay Celebration- Part 1

Press PLAY to hear audio replay

IT’S MY BearthDAY MONTH!

It has to be crazy for my parents and siblings to grasp that the baby girl is about to be 40. It’s crazy to me! This month has already begun with new beginnings, I have relocated back to Greensboro, NC. Funny how the plans you have don’t necessarily go as planned. I am however, excited to be back closer to my son, my team of bridal hair and makeup artists I trust and experiencing growth in many ways.

Be sure to catch the audio replay above because my schedule this month is bananas. If you’re not following me on Facebook or Instagram, you’re going to miss out on a huge portion of the last pages of Chapter 39.

It’s amazing to be starting my bearthday month being booked for prom, 2 weddings, one of which is in California and to be able to have a much needed vaca. Due to my schedule, I’ve had to turn down potential clients. That’s a good problem to have, sliding into 40; I am learning to make time for me. Being booked and busy is not the goal

Through the Eyes of NiSi: Episode 18- “It’s not just Makeup- The ‘Beauty’ of Bridal Music Spotlight

With all weddings, music is usually apart of the getting ready, the ceremony, the reception, the first night as a married couple. Today’s show introduces you to some of the songs that I love and some that my Brides have used to commemorate their special day.

The Tuckers

As I’ve said before, music is the language of life; it brings us together but for some, it says the words only our feelings know how to communicate. When I am servicing Brides, I try to always have my speaker with a few different wedding playlists. Whether its the love songs for the Bride to really just sit and listen to the words and imagine her love at the end of the aisle. Whether its the girls anthems to keep the bridal squad hype before the last dancing moments being single. Whether it’s just feel good music to keep your mind off the stresses of the day, who is late or what things aren’t going quite as planned. Whatever you need in that particular moment, music can transport you there. Music helps me connect to my bridal squad, as well as provide ‘songs to maintain an atmosphere of joy, love and celebration (as stated by my most recent Bride).’

Through the Eyes of NiSi: Episode 17- “It’s not just Makeup- The ‘Beauty’ of Bridal Series- Part 4

We continue our discussion on bridal makeup and how what we do is not just about showing up and doing makeup.

Press PLAY to hear the audio replay of the 3.23.22 show.

Episode 17

What are some things a Bride should consider when looking for a Bridal Makeup Artist?

Quantity– How many are coming through for you and standing up with you on your wedding day? Basically, how many people are in your bridal party and will need makeup/hair services? Most service providers can provide service to 4-5 people depending on the time frame allotted. Once you submit your inquiry, we immediately get to work on confirming if assistance is needed. We know that most glam squads are booked 6 months to a year in advance, so even we have to confirm availability if we may need assistance in glamming your entire squad. Remember, even though you book me for your wedding date; I start working long before that… the constant communication, planning, beauty preview, bridesmaid discussions, etc.

Ambiance– Do you want music played as you’re getting beautified? I normally play music that caters to everyone to break the awkwardness or silence. Also, music brings people together so it also helps to get conversations started. If you have certain music you want played while services are being provided, go ahead and have it on- we want you to feel comfortable and relaxed.

Packages– Does the package include your service providers or vendors being there all day? Keep in mind that vendors may be traveling from a distance so consider that if you need them to be there from sun up to sun down. Maybe offer to cover a room for the night so that they don’t have to travel hours back to their home base. Some bridal beauty packages come with a touch up bag, if so, this allows the beauty team to leave you being prepared if you need to touch up lips or face. Remember, everyone has a camera; you want to be camera ready by making sure you have a Makeup Artist/ Hair Stylist there throughout the night or that you feel comfortable enough to pull yourself back together.

Venue Location– Are there 2 or more flights of stairs? Are there working elevators? Is parking on property? Will there be a shuttle from the parking to the venue? Are you paying any parking fees for your vendors? If someone has to move our car or go park in a different location. Does the venue provide assistance? Are there enough chairs, tables, outlets, etc.? Will beauty services take place in a bridal suite, bathroom, fellowship hall? Will this room be locked so everyone’s (including the glam squad) property is safe and/or closed to the public?

Are these questions that you are asking? Do you need more clarification? Leave your questions and comments below and/or join us for the Facebook Live tonight.

If only you could be a fly on the wall when we have conversations about our lives as bridal makeup artists and hairstylists…. well here’s your chance. We are letting you inside our in depth conversations, giving more tips and behind the scenes information on what it takes to be a bridal makeup artist and what things Brides should consider.

Episode 16

What are some things a Bride should consider when looking for a Bridal Makeup Artist?

Experience– Is this Makeup Artist a regular makeup artist or a Bridal Makeup Artist? Can they show you their previous work? Are these the looks that you want on your wedding day? Can they communicate effectively? Are they willing and able to stand on their feet for hours? Are they a luxury bridal makeup artist?

Number of people in bridal party– How many people need hair/makeup services? How many people can one makeup artist handle and in what time frame? Do you have an alternate location if you have limited access to the venue? Are you paying for the services or will they be covering their own?

Location– Location is very important, you may need to provide your vendors with hotel accommodations and travel fees. Think about travel time, the services people are providing, how late they may need to stay or how early they need to arrive.
