ALEXANDRIA'S ALCHEMY
ALEXANDRIA'S ALCHEMY
NEW BEGINNINGS
A few months ago, I had to make a decision: invest more into my business (we had already put in over six figures in less than a year) or close. I prayed on it, cried over it, and even catastrophized it, but then I remembered—last time I sacrificed my old life, the new one was much better. My first dark night of the soul was grueling: I faced loss of income, experienced death, and had deep revelations. It was a lot, but once I let go, I found so much abundance and security on the other side. Remembering this, I laughed. I needed to let go, feel my feelings, and get excited for the next chapter. So, I did.
Making that decision wasn’t easy. I had created something beautiful—it was growing and starting to make a name for itself. However, it didn’t take off as I had hoped, and I made peace with that. It was a lot of work, but I gained valuable lessons and learned more about myself. It was a great teacher.
Seeking guidance, I called my millionaire ex-boss. Sitting in his brand-new Porsche, he told me how smart I was for being real with myself and was glad to see I still had the pragmatic nature that had helped him acquire nine figures. I was grateful for that reminder. I closed one door and others are going to open.
It felt scary when I opened, and it felt scary when I closed, but I’m smiling now because I feel the energy shifting. New beginnings are here: new settings, new characters, new feelings, and more reminders of my divinity.
CLOSING COZY
I’ve closed Cozy Beauty Bar, my business, for now. My lease was up, and my funding was dwindling, so it made more sense to pause operations and plan to regroup in the future. Everything has been seamless: notifying clients, selling and gifting items to the women who have supported me, and vacating the space.
I’m genuinely happy to lighten my load. While my business allowed me to be very creative and connect with new people, it also anchored me. I couldn’t move as freely and had to invest significant time without a tangible return. However, I’m proud of the social standing I’ve achieved and the accomplishment of owning Cozy—it was my greatest project yet!
CONJURING PEOPLE & SYNCHRONICITY
Lately, I’ve been actively manifesting people and situations like crazy. Earlier this week, I reflected on my life before I started Cozy, back when I was consulting. I was creating products for “Allie’s Apothecary” (aka Andria Daily Beauty), dedicated to my fitness at an amazing social gym (now closed), and deeply into journaling, tarot, smudging, eating healthy, and connecting with the unseen. As soon as I closed Cozy, that familiar energy crept back in—it felt like a huge reset.
With this reset, I asked myself what made that time so special. I remembered how much I loved that social gym, where I met so many people and was deeply into my spirituality. I thought, “Dang, I miss that vibe.” Then, a few days later, I was on ClassPass and decided to increase my membership. I’d paused and minimized it recently since I wasn’t using it enough to justify a higher membership. But I went ahead and committed. While searching for a Pilates class, I decided to include at least one strength class. As I searched, I saw the name of the gym owner I loved. I was shocked—I had just been thinking about her! Naturally, I signed up, and it was amazing: the same vibe, some familiar faces, and such high energy. It was perfect. She even teased me as usual, but I think she was happy to see someone who believed in and followed her brand.
Next, I’ve been watching Pop The Balloon, a dating show on YouTube. I like it a lot and, at one point, considered becoming an image consultant—not because I think I’m the hottest, but because I see so many beautiful women who cheapen their look with ill-fitting clothes, mismatched colors, or hairstyles that repel the kind of men they’re interested in. I noticed this stunning girl on the show; she stood out for those reasons, and she mentioned she lived in Dallas. I thought, “Watch me run into her.” Last night, at a social club I’m a part of, who walks in but the girl! I’d never seen her there before. I introduced myself, told her I’d just seen her on the show, thought she was gorgeous (I’m never shy to honor a goddess), and knew I’d meet her.
I met other amazing people too. This season is definitely one of new beginnings with new people.
Also, there are two ladies I met last year—one a fabulous model engineer and the other a beautiful East African woman who also mixes her own oils and cosmetics. They were both at a Porsche event I attended, and we had a great time together. Then, one of them surprised me by stopping by my salon. A week or two later, I attended a vendor show, and there they both were! What are the odds? I don’t usually run into the same people repeatedly, but it felt like another testament to this season of zero-point energy and synchronicity.
My sister also said she saw the artsy guy again from my “Conjure” entry. A little wink from the universe!
ENERGY SHIFT & ATTRACTION
Am I conceited? No. But I’m very happy with the results of my intentionality. I’ve always been cute, but there was a realm I hadn’t tapped into yet—the “elite status” realm. To me, elite status means the highest level of intentionality: hair, skin, teeth, body, voice, attire, scent, everything on point. The reactions I’m getting from strangers lately are insane—in a respectful way. Yesterday, bare-faced with a fresh blowout, a girl in the restroom looked me up and down and said, “You look sooo good.” If that had been a man, I’d have thought he was bold!
Women keep complimenting me. All day, it’s nonstop. Even when I’m with my daughter, people say, “She’s so pretty, but look at her mom.” It’s relentless; sometimes, people sound almost exasperated telling me how good I look. I think, “If only I could perceive myself!” The stares have also intensified. I know I’m approaching elite status because men don’t approach me—they just stare (the ring, designer bag and $1000 shoes probably are a good buffer too lol). Or, recently, I’ve even gotten some gasps! Yesterday, at lunch with my man, two guys at the bar kept turning around to look at me. There was nothing behind me to distract them. I assumed they were gay and admiring my look to rationalize being that bold but who knows. Or another evening, the DJ at an event was staring me down so much that my man noticed and asked if I knew him. I didn’t! Now that was bold.
Just wait until I get back to my gua sha routine and start doing Pilates three times a week—elite status, here I come! Looking good is important to me, and the extra attention confirms that I’m on the right track. Plus, when you’re aiming to be a beacon of light and remind others of their divinity, attractiveness becomes essential. Good looks are a blessing, not given without purpose. Especially as an ADOS, it’s important to help people reprogram their mindset to realize they can aspire to and achieve more. Having nice things, looking good, and embodying a sense of divinity and spirituality illuminate a well-rounded, fulfilling life.
OPPORTUNITIES & NEW BEGINNINGS
There are also some great opportunities on the horizon. The more I tap into my zero-point energy, the more things gravitate toward me in the best way. I won’t go into detail here, but these opportunities will allow me to be compensated while living a soft life (without the demands of running a brick-and-mortar). Literally, as soon as I closed Cozy, my life said, “And cut!” Now, new things are coming in fast.
