The French 75 Journal

Today I took #WCW to another level! Typically I see a lot of pictures of women half naked circulating the internet with the hashtag #WCW. I decided to put a spin on that hashtag and highlight women “crushing it” in their field. So, I kicked the series off with NK Gutiérrez! NK Gutiérrez is a […]

Hey guys! Confession. Life without a T-Fal Opti Grill is just not right. No, they did not pay me to say that. Since my Mother’s Day lifestyle segment on ABC 7 Chicago, I’ve fallen in love with this contraption. With this indoor grill, I can create something simple and tasty. I wanted to show you […]

Hey Guys! Lately I have been on a mission to lose the extra pounds that I’ve gained. If you read my previous post, then you know I started working on achieving a fit bod with Barb doing spin classes. Additionally, she showed me how to  Workout Like An Olympian last week. Now I’m ready to boogie bounce my way […]

Hey Guys! Last week, I had fun covering the red carpet premiere for Southside With You. The movie, Southside With You, is a love story inspired by the accounts of the Obama’s, first date. When you cover a red carpet, it allows the chance to talk to the cast and crew from the film. There are […]

I hope you enjoyed my last lifestyle segment “Work It Like An Olympian” on ABC 7. That segment seemed to breeze by quickly. It was over before I knew it.  Since ABC 7 had a heavy news day, it really cut down on my time. The lack of time caused viewers to miss out on some […]

In my last post I talked about “Working It Like An Olympian” but now I want to Workout Like An Olympian. After seeing all the toned bodies during the Olympics, I was eager to find a way to workout effectively. Trying to fit in an extensive workout with a busy schedule can be tedious. So, I […]

When you look at Simone Manuel, Michael Phelps and Simone Biles, you can’t help but to feel inspired. Their determination and hard work manifests greatness. While watching the Rio 2016 Olympics, it made me want to “Work It Like An Olympian”. I rounded up a few products and headed over to ABC 7 Chicago to showcase a […]

Hey guys! I really enjoy sharing tasty and simple dishes with all of you. Did any of you try the recipes from my last two posts: Protein Bar Inspired Buffalo Chicken Wrap & Quinoa With Chicken & Turkey Meat Sauce? No?! That’s ok. I think this Creamy Chicken Fajita Pasta will get you cookin’ good-lookin’.

Many of you may not know this but I have struggled with weight for quite some time. At the age of 8 I remember the beginning of my battle. I’ve tried everything to fight the battle of the bulge. In my later years I figured out the one thing that helped me lose weight and […]

Hey Guys! I hope you enjoyed my last post about french riveria styles. I really enjoyed that comfy look. Today I wanted to share with you all some of my favorite fashions from my photoshoot. It was two weeks ago when I had the pleasure of working with Melissa, Stephanie and Micha. These ladies were […]

For many weeks I have been working extremely hard on enhancing my brand. Throughout that process, I found it necessary to also include my website. So, I’m happy to say: 

The summer is a beautiful time of the year but it might not be the same for your mane.  The humidity can definitely have your hair out in all crazy directions. Luckily, I have a couple of hair hacks to share during the humid summer months.

Last night, I attended an event hosted by Grey Goose Vodka. Since Grey Goose originated in France, it was no surprise to see the culture infused in the decor. In true “Nekia” fashion, I needed to make sure that my attire reflected the theme for the evening.

During the summer I can not seem to get enough of wraps. This unique variation of a sandwich has a variety of options to indulge in. When the summer heat kicks in and I want a light bite, I generally like to visit Protein Bar. However, their prices aren’t always comparable to my budget. Additionally, the […]
