Matthew Garry, the Aspiring Influencer Carving His Own Path Toward the Limelight

NY Weekly Staff on March 28, 2022

The advancements in digital technology have blown countless doors of opportunities wide open in today’s industries, helping go-getters from all walks of life to translate their visions into reality. Decades ago, people born to a silver platter almost always had a greater shot at success, with rags-to-riches stories few and far between. But, along with the growing prominence of online-based platforms in recent years is the expanding list of individuals who have managed to see their dreams come to fruition despite having nothing on their backs but passion and perseverance. Matthew Garry, an aspiring influencer, is among those currently harnessing the power of digital tools to make a name for himself in the world of entertainment.

Bearing a story that resonates with millions of aspirants from across the globe, Matthew Garry is intimately privy to the challenges that often hinder people from achieving their goals. In his case, it was doubly frustrating as he already had a taste of what it felt like to be secured in life.

A former owner of a hockey rink, the self-starter had to begin anew when the lessors of the building that housed his rink closed the establishment. Although it was a definite blow and rocked his status quo, Matthew Garry knew it was only a hiccup, one that he could overcome through hard work and grit. So he changed gears, dipping his toes in an uncharted territory that held the promise of a second chance at success.

Trying his hand at establishing a presence online and increasing his visibility was admittedly no easy feat. Despite the tools currently available in the market, all of which are designed to help budding influencers rack up thousands of followers and improve engagement, it remains difficult to secure a coveted spot in the limelight. But Matthew Garry intends to prove the naysayers wrong and carve a path toward the top, undeterred by those who claimed that there’s no way he’d ever get one million followers.

Matthew Garry is currently finding his niche in the saturated and cut-throat industries of entertainment and influencer marketing. Older in age compared to social media personalities dominating TikTok, Instagram, and other sites, he’s setting an example for other middle-aged hopefuls to follow and demonstrating that age has no bearing on whether or not people can make considerable progress on their dreams.

Throughout his whole journey toward the spotlight, Matthew Garry has made one thing clear: hard work pays off. While individuals need to have a clear-cut vision of what they want to achieve, as well as possess an in-depth understanding of how to utilize digital-based platforms to one’s advantage, all of these wouldn’t amount to anything without hard work.

Matthew Garry is expected to reach greater heights in the years to come. Armed with big plans, he will go all-out in gaining a solid foothold in the industry and cement his name in people’s memory.

NY Weekly Staff on March 28, 2022

As a result, the talented young man is seeing a meteoric rise to stardom not only due to his unrivaled musical prowess but also his impressive commitment to being genuine.

Profoundly explaining his reason for championing authenticity, the intuitive singer shared, “God made me unique, and I just had to learn to love myself.

He knows that he must keep his eye on the goal, persevere, and keep going to achieve his mission. Unlike those who constantly compare themselves with others, he focuses on his objective of becoming a world-renowned rapper.

Apart from becoming a top artist and music producer, what fuels Faseworld to succeed is his love for family. As he profoundly shared, “My motivation is my family. I’m really big on building a legacy and leaving my children with something tangible. No one left me anything or gave me any jewels. I never want my children to be left in the cold like that. They need a fighting chance in this cold, cold world.”

Faseworld is undoubtedly one of this generation’s most promising hip-hop artists. Moving forward, the outstanding individual aims to elevate his success and take it to greater heights by continuing to make music with captivating beats and lyrics.

Skin-Restoring and Heart-Opening, Herbal Skin Solutions’ Cacao Seed Softening Mask is The Definition of Ceremonial Skincare

NY Weekly Staff on March 28, 2022

For centuries, cacao has been regarded as a divine ingredient, often reserved for the elite classes of the Mesoamerican native cultures to enjoy during ceremonial rituals as a hot beverage boasting many health and spiritual benefits.

In today’s world, we’re lucky to enjoy this ingredient in a variety of forms and with extreme accessibility, but its divine nature is still one to behold, which is precisely what Herbal Skin Solutions’ newest addition to our signature skincare line urges you to do.

With it’s warm and comforting aroma and natural skin-restoring benefits, the Cacao Seed Softening Mask can serve as a part of your skin ritual that will not only will soften and restore your skin’s barrier, but also work within to calm your spirit as well as open your heart chakra and emotional center.

Packed with plant flavonoids and polyphenols, and featuring a luscious and silky rich texture that provides the mask with its moisturizing properties, the gentle nature of the enzyme in the Cacao Seed Softening Mask helps strike the perfect balance that makes this mask an ideal fit for all skin types.

Even those with dull and sensitive skin, who are in need of light resurfacing and texture smoothing as well as restoration of the skin’s barrier, will enjoy the enzymatic exfoliation (and glycolic acid) in the Cacao Seed Softening Mask, which provides balancing properties that work together to build an overall healthier and more luminous glow.

And as with all Herbal Skin Solutions products, you’ll find that the Cacao Seed Softening Mask works most effectively when incorporated into an intentional and immersive skincare ritual.

We believe this honours the sacred divinity and indigenous history of the cacao in addition to the other bounty of botanicals found within the product, and connects us — our mind, bodies, and spirits — back with Mother Earth who provides us with these skin- and soul-benefitting ingredients.

To craft a unique and full-sensory experience utilizing the Cacao Seed Softening Mask, we offer these ritual touchpoints for you to incorporate into your own skin and self-care ceremony:

Heighten your sense of smell – Cacao’s natural properties are not only powerful when applied topically and consumed, but it’s also beneficial when used as an aromatherapeutic to calm the mind and body, helping to maintain healthy blood pressure and improve cognitive function. To heighten your sense of smell, consider dimming the lights, turning off devices, and completing your masking time during meditation practice.
Repeat a love or compassion-focused intention or affirmation – The Anahata energy centre (Sanskrit: अनाहत) or heart chakra is the fourth primary chakra and is correlated with compassion, affection, and love. According to ancient Mayan texts, cacao ceremonies have been described as “heart-opening,” and while a skin ritual using the Cacao Seed Softening Mask doesn’t involve ingestion (unless you desire to make and incorporate a traditional cacao elixir — a beautiful idea to take your ritual to the next level!), repeating a compassion-focused affirmation such as “I am deserving of love” or “I am a beacon of love and compassion” is another way to invite heart-opening.
Align your body for heart-opening – If non-verbal heart-alignment is more your style, or you like the idea of pairing affirmations or meditation with the flow of movement, we invite you to strike (and hold) a heart-opening pose while masking. Our favorites are Fish Pose (Matsyasana), Cobra (Bhujangasana), and Standing Star (Utthita Tadasana).

When ready for the masking stage of your ritual, apply a smooth, thick layer of the Cacao Seed Softening Mask to your freshly cleansed face, neck, and décolleté (avoiding the delicate eye area), then relax and soak in the rich and relaxing properties of the cacao and rinse off with tepid water after 20 minutes or as soon as the mask begins to dry.

Complete your skin ritual by following with Herbal Skin Solutions’ pH Balance Toner or Hydrating Mist, Vitamin C+ Enhancement Serum, and the Healing Cream moisturizer for a.m. or Blue Moon Overnight Sleeping Mask for p.m. rituals.

Jafar “Master Jeff” Jafari Reveals Steps to Adapt and Thrive in Life

NY Weekly Staff on March 28, 2022

The knowledge that everyone has their own definition of success comes with the understanding that there are certain steps that individuals may take in order to make life more meaningful. Steps that Jafar “Master Jeff” Jafari is out to share with the world, to help people as they walk the path towards success and high-quality living.

Master Jeff is an entrepreneur and educator whose reputation and influence have reached over forty countries and counting as a result of his mission of motivating people to make positive life changes by relinquishing negative mindsets.

“We all have the potential to achieve more in this world,” explained Master Jeff. “Sadly, not everyone knows how to harness that power, even when it’s right there already. My goal is to be able to teach people to unleash the champion within them.”

The inspirational speaker is the founder and CEO of PSC Academy Inc. and Buildgoal Inc., two powerhouse companies that provide international training seminars to educate individuals on realizing their true potential and adopting more healthy habits.

Bringing to the table twenty years of experience in the training industry, Master Jeff has managed to grow his brand into companies housing over 100,000 students and 5,000 trained coaches within their programs and network.

Master Jeff has spent decades teaching people how to enter what he calls “The Zone,” which refers to the idea that everyone has access to a version of themselves that is free from fear, anxiety, and limitations.

In addition, he imparts that to improve one’s circumstances, one must first improve the self and teaches people how self-reflection is an essential part of the roadmap for self-development.

“Your Zone is unique to you and contains everything you need to lead the life you truly want. You can’t take concrete actions until you know which way your inner compass is pointing,” said Master Jeff.

According to the guru, the key to achieving great success is to protect the positive mantra that one currently has by saying it repeatedly to oneself every day. Like how he likens happiness and success to water–where once tarnished by ink, it clouds the whole batch– Master Jeff teaches about the importance of not allowing negative thoughts and messages to poison one’s positive mantra.

Despite this practice proving challenging, especially in times filled with toxicity, hate crimes, and bad news, Master Jeff believes it worthwhile because it helps ground a person in a place where they can achieve more by letting go of the negative beliefs that hold them back.

Through his programs, specifically the Philosophy of Success, he teaches people how to block out the negative noise brought by the mind and instead focus on the affirmations that will build the self up.

Master Jeff remains steadfast in his commitment to sharing his insights and knowledge with more people who dream of chasing self-betterment and success. He continues to cater to people from all walks of life so that they can reach the best versions of themselves personally and professionally. Moving forward, he aims to expand his programs that cover face-to-face and virtual sessions to include a hybrid seminar set to happen in August 2022. He shows no signs of slowing down soon and aspires to reach and teach more people from all nations around the world.

Jazmin Alvarez Overcame Adversity Amid Pandemic while Growing a Multi-figure Business

NY Weekly Staff on March 28, 2022

It’s been 2 years since the start of Covid-19 and multiple lockdowns. Jazmin Alvarez, founder of Pretty Well Beauty, has had to deal with a lot of the past couple of years!

She overcame adversity during covid by organically doubling her sales in 2020 vs 2019. She pivoted from her original strategy of doing a bunch of pop up events to focusing 100% to online and digital marketing.

She won’t be scared to admit she had absolutely no idea what she was doing as that’s not her background at all and had to self learn and figure it out. She is still trying to figure it out to a certain extent, and as a solo founder with limited access and resources its been a massive challenge especially in this noisy and competitive space.

2020 was the height of the BLM movement and, as a black owned business, she saw some support from that but not nearly as much as a lot of other black owned brands. She started to feel like the movement was turning black owned businesses into a monolith and something that everyone should support due to the climate and not because of the quality and value being offered. It was very much like a double edged sword as it was impossible tell which support was genuine and which was performative.

Her mission with Pretty Well Beauty is to clean up the noise and democratize the clean beauty and wellness space. She created Pretty Well Beauty after realizing the world of clean beauty was incredibly white and middle class (think Gwyneth!) and she is on a mission to make it accessible for all people.
