A Lady Named Pearl Cleanse

I am a model, performing artist and professor, based in Atlanta, GA. I was born and raised in Miami, FL by two beautiful Haitian parents. I can recall walking through our neighborhood with my Mom, and her picking certain plants to boil, to create medicines for us. Moreover, we had a mango, avocado and lemon tree. Although we ate lots of cooked food, I can thoroughly remember her enjoying the raw fruits from our trees.

Growing up, I desired to live a Westerner's life, and viewed some of the things my mother did as "old world". Yet, I am finding, as an adult, that I want to learn more and more about living a holistic lifestyle, and adopting some of the practices that I witness from my mother as a child.

Consuming more natural juices and smoothies, and eating raw, are steps that I am taking to live a more holistic lifestyle. I am eating out less, and eating less cooked food. I want to give my body more nutrients. I deserve it. There's has to be a certain level of respect and integrity that you should give to your body, mind and spirit.

HOLISTIC LIFESTYLE 

Eat healthy meals. A healthy meal includes ingredients that are nutritionally
valuable. Choose ingredients that will give you energy throughout the day.

Exercise at least three times a week. Exercise is key to a healthy lifestyle.

Engage with herbalists. An herbalist develops natural treatment plans to help you feel your best and boost your immune system. The goal of holistic health care is to maximize your health and wellness through natural treatment methods.

WHY DO A CLEANSE? 

“Many people turn to cleanses because they feel off—they’re bloated and sluggish, dependent on caffeine and junk food cravings, breaking out,” says Stephanie Middleberg, a New York City-based registered dietitian. “When you eliminate toxins from your system, your entire body feels better and reacts both internally and externally.”

SHE HAS NO LIMITS, SHE HAS NO BOUNDS

I can recall being a young girl and looking over to my sister and saying "I wonder what's out there," as I gazed up at the stars. Her replied " Girl, what are you talking about?"

Sometimes people don't have your curiosity or your vision.

Although my sister was not on board, with an intuition to see beyond the stars, I was.

We have all been given a mission and its important for us to uncover it, while we are on this journey called life.

She has no limits, she has no bounds.
Often times, we can get in our own way of reaching our mission based on the perception of what others think is possible.

We must have the self-confidence, that the universe placed in us, all we need to reach our goals.

Of course, its okay to listen to others, but at the end of the day, go with your gut feeling. You are the captain of your ship, you are the writer of your script. 

Do you think Nikola Tesla or Albert Einstein would have achieve what they achieved, if they listened to limitations of others? They listen to the voice within.

How about Steve Jobs?

"Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They someone how know, what you truly want to become." - Steve Jobs

PEARL MAGAZINE OFFICIAL LAUNCH PARTY

PEARL MAGAZINE OFFICIAL LAUNCH PARTY

SUNDAY, MARCH 29TH FROM 7PM TO 11PM

NEGRIL VILLAGE (30 NORTH AVE, ATLANTA, GA)

IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SOCIETY SALON ATLANTA

 

Like a pearl, leaders are not born, they are cultivated with an intricate balance of pressure, stringent conditions and time for development. 

PEARL, the magazine, cultivates leaders also known as “pearls”.  Our content provides readers with beauty, fashion, and leadership techniques to transform your self-image.

I served as a professor at Clark Atlanta University teaching Leadership and Professional Development in the School of Business from August 2011 to December 2014. PEARL, was created from my desire to maintain the connection formed with my students. I want this publication to serve as a voice and mentorship to the many of you seeking guidance and understanding of leadership. Furthermore, due to my extensive modeling background, we cultivate “pearls’ to be leaders with style.

It is our hope that you enjoy our first issue of PEARL, and continue on this journey with us.

Feel free to contact us at anytime on our social networks, with feedback about our magazine.

Pearl Fils-Aime,

Editor-In-Chief of PEARL Magazine

CEO of A Lady Named Pearl, LLC
