The AYSHA NY Must-Have Social Distancing-Inspired 1-2-3 Accessory Kit

When AYSHA NY’s high-touch client experiences and events became impossible to continue due to social distancing requirements, the mandated NYC lockdown forced Aysha to close her NYC studio, leading to a 95% revenue drop.

That’s when CEO & Creative Director, Aysha Saeed unleashed her usual fashion designer creativity and collaborated with her local suppliers to design a must-have item that would be more conducive for virtual instead of in-person consultations. As a result, the gorgeous AYSHA NY 1-2-3 Accessory Kit was born.

Clarity, Commitment, Challenges, Create A Plan, Celebrate

Recently the whole world is reeling from the global changes brought about by the pandemic. This current health crisis has brought an added layer of uncertainty on top of everyday changes, such as relationship problems, financial difficulties, other illnesses, and loss of loved ones. Even though millions of people are experiencing these changes, it is easy to think that no one else can understand. You may be feeling lost, alone, or stuck not knowing what to do next. Be assured these emotions are normal when life changes. You are not alone.

Is There Anything To Celebrate?

Usually when we want something, we envision what we will do to celebrate when we get it. We wait to reward ourselves. What we do not realize at the beginning is that the work involved in obtaining our goal is difficult. Because change is hard, we often give up before we reach the goal. The secret to not giving up along the way, is to celebrate each step you take towards the goal.

Creation of a Plan of Action

It may seem that recent events, which were out of your control, have totally disrupted life as you knew it. No matter how crazy your life seemed before the pandemic, this new reality swooped in and disrupted any semblance of normal daily life. Your plans for school, business, vacation and even the freedom to eat at your favorite restaurant abruptly ended. It is times like this when people ask themselves, “What do I do now?”

Conquering Challenges in Uncertain Times

Doesn’t it seem that just as you find clarity in something you want, and you commit to going for it, life throws you an unexpected challenge? These challenges test how committed you are. US Admiral William Frederick Hansley, Jr. said, “There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.”

In the past few months, we have all faced the great challenge of a pandemic. This crisis is unlike anything most generations living have ever seen and has affected the entire global population. While trying to protect ourselves by social distancing and staying at home, the uncertainty of our health and economy has shaken many to their core.

Moving Forward By Making Commitments

Recently the theme of many conversations is uncertainty. People are anxious due to our lives being turned upside down with the pandemic. Business owners are nervously wondering when and how they will re-open after months of stay-at-home orders. Millions of workers have been forced to work at home surrounded by pets, kids, and laundry while millions more are unemployed. Hovering over facemasks, young and old alike have fear and fatigue showing in their eyes.

Slavery on Wall Street

When I learned that the African Burial Ground had been discovered in New York City, I began to follow and research the story. In October 1991, the excavation crew for a new $275 million federal building on lower Broadway unearthed 419 human skeletons, the remains of a small fraction of the slaves who had built much of the city, including the wall that once defined Wall Street. In the 17th- and 18th-centuries, that site had been part of a cemetery where the bodies of more than 15,000 black people rested.

Essential Oils - Top Tips From A Certified Aromatherapist

You may be familiar with the words “essential oils” and it’s possible you’ve even had some experience with them, via a massage or some type of spa treatment. You may know someone that uses and raves about essential oils, though you can’t understand why. And you may have also noticed that practically every big box store, drugstore or beauty store has a selection of essential oils on the shelves…but with no real explanation or information on what to do with them or how to use them. Certified Aromatherapist Jessica Klingbaum can teach you how.
