AESTHETIC Rewind

Updated: Jan 7, 2019

Today, I want to share with you the AESTHETIC Posts that have made my 2018! These are the ones that come from my heart as I share my personal #aesthetic with you. These posts truly represent moments that defined my year; inspiring me to create innovative articles that you can implement in to your own routine. Let’s walk down memory lane; revisiting some of my favorite topics as we look back on 2018.

2019 GOALS:

This is my favorite post that I have written overall (over 80 posts thus far)! This post is so inspiring as we look forward to another year that is filled with opportunities for the impossible to manifest. https://aestheticinfluence.wixsite.com/mariahfranklin/my-aesthetic/2019-goals

MY LOC JOURNEY

My locs right now are four months old and it has changed my life, #literally. I never thought I would have such a hairstyle, but now I realize it is so beautiful and gives my natural hair the freedom to be and to grow at the same time without much manipulation. https://aestheticinfluence.wixsite.com/mariahfranklin/my-aesthetic/my-loc-journey

NATURALLY NATURAL Growing locs has further led me to embrace my natural GOD-given beauty. I’m continually learning new organic techniques that save money and are convenient for me to utilize as I grow out my hair and nails (as well as clearing up my skin). I’m especially particular about being natural as I mature; on the cusp of exiting my twenties as I start a new chapter (entering my thirties)! Less make up will shrink my pores, clear up my skin, and decrease the chance of wrinkles. https://aestheticinfluence.wixsite.com/mariahfranklin/my-aesthetic/naturally-natural

HIATUS HOLIDAY

From October to the end of November, I went on a short (blogging) hiatus while I was performing in City Theatre’s Young Playwright Festival as an actress apart of the ensemble. It was great to perform on stage as I hadn’t done a show since moving back to Pittsburgh (just a little over a year or so). I loved being apart of an opportunity to bring young writers’ stories to life as well as working with other artists; sharpening one another’s skills and enabling us to become better performers. https://aestheticinfluence.wixsite.com/mariahfranklin/my-aesthetic/hiatus-holiday

IN THEIR OWN VOICES

June 2018, I had the privilege of sharing an excerpt of my work at City Theatre. I was able to read a couple of scenes that I had written from my play “REVISITED”. It was amazing to receive such positive feedback from the other playwrights and the public in attendance. I also enjoyed hearing the work of the other writers that were selected to participate in the event with me; especially that a few of them are Dramatist Guild members with some clout under their belts! https://aestheticinfluence.wixsite.com/mariahfranklin/my-aesthetic/in-their-own-voices

SO YOU WANT TO START A BUSINESS?

This is one of AESTHETIC’S most popular posts and has received positive feedback on social media. I was amped to share my experience as I embark on this entrepreneurial journey in launching my blog and online business. More and more I’m gleaning from established entrepreneurs who have turned their interests and passions in to a lucrative full-time business; inspiring their generation to do the same. My hope is that this post and others similar to it inspire you too as you pursue your goals, hopes, dreams, aspirations, and your GOD-given purpose! This is the perfect state-of-mind to be in as we strut straight in to 2019! https://aestheticinfluence.wixsite.com/mariahfranklin/my-aesthetic/so-you-want-to-start-a-business
