Dating is Ghetto, Colorful Try-on Haul, Speaking Up & Tape-in Maintenance | weekly vlog

[@barbaraslifestyle]

OMG, Maya! I am totally with you on your nails. I went to this new shop. This guy there did a fabulous job on my nails; but then, I went back and he asked me what I wanted (this was in February). I said PINK. He said that’s not a Valentines color. So he had an attitude and messed up my nails. I like square shape. He gave me ALMOND! I was mad. Needless to say, I haven’t gone back! I pay $90 for my nails. I know it might be more in Atlanta, but that’s a lot where I live. And lastly, I wanted to say, DO NOT FEEL BAD BEING FRUGAL! You are teaching Amirah to be a good steward over the money God has blessed you with. You are laying up wealth the her and her children, your grandchildren. ❤

[@lawrenrobinson6225]

Galore Gang Sunday!!!! Everyone have a blessed week!!! 😊

[@Amandatalks23]

Proud of you Maya!! I struggled with speaking up for myself as well for yearrssss!! Until one day my Pastor just randomly (but not random at all) said the Lord said confrontation is not a bad thing and it's okay to speak up for myself!! Girl that freeedd me!

[@shaemitchell]

You are 100% NOT TRIPPING!!! I think a lot of us struggle with speaking up. I did...until I didn't, and it just so happen to be at a nail salon. Every time I went for a set or fill, the tech would tell me how she thought MY NAILS should look. When I spoke up (and not in a demure timid tone) she got big mad and I did not care. If I'm paying my money for a service, I will absolutely get what I want. I'm with you sis ✊🏾

[@sasheljennings3108]

Maya I have struggled with what you’re talking about as well 29:00 speaking up for myself and not letting certain things slide; the things that I know can affect me negatively or goes against my beliefs system …. Shake the table! People don’t be true to themselves or say/ do what they want etc.. you say/do what you need to in a respectful way. Period.

[@nikkimd78]

Great video! You look amazing Maya! I agree….Shake the table! I do think we should not limit “classy” to neutral colors. Classy can be colorful or neutral. It depends on how you express yourself. I wouldn’t consider myself a fun girl due to the color of my wardrobe capsule. I feel like the spirit of God within me and the way I carry myself in good times and during challenges contribute to my classiness. You are absolutely a classy woman, Maya, color or no color! It’s all about how you rock it!❤

[@MayaGalore]

Thank you sis! And you’re right! I’ve always associated classy with neutral but I’m trying to change that mindset cuz that’s not true!! 🙌🏾 it’s how you wear it

[@taviarenee1911]

I’m glad we arrived at this realization

[@TM-nb9zf]

Yes dating is a mess now. I have learned that texting in the initial stages can be a good thing or a bad thing. Its nice to see the bad guys weed themselves out early tho. 😂 Literally the first week EVERYTIME 😂

[@kathleenharris8824]

Yes Maya!!!! I bring photos of what I want to have done with my nails. We do pay them AND TIP them! We should get what we want the way we want it.❤

[@candace4404]

Yesssss the sunglasses put you upppp even more sis!!!! Baby it's giving elevated, baddie and sophisticated!!! Fire!!🔥🔥

[@kimathis]

Happy Sunday ladies

[@keyarrag]

Hey, suge!! Around the 26 min mark you talked about you introducing color into your wardrobe. What helped me out is finding my *color palette thru *color analysis. As a “deep autumn,” while I gravitate towards nudes/neutrals, I can still wear other colors within that palette that don’t veer off from my personal aesthetic. It also flatters as well. Give it a try! 💙

[@MayaGalore]

Oh I love this. Thanks sis!! 🙌🏾

[@IAMKELLIECAMILLE]

Maya the music selection for these vlogs!!! Girl!!❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@semerrianicole4037]

Maya you are NOT wrong, and that’s exactly what it is. Not speaking upset someone, it’s not just about your nails it’s the principal. 💯 Even if it was just about nails, you’re paying for the service so you should be satisfied with it.

[@Simply_JustKim]

I enjoyed the Spring capsule wardrobe.

[@MayaGalore]

Thank you sis!!!

[@alainevictoria373]

Your elevated casual has truly been inspiring me!!!

So did i hear Maya say she's bringing back the tutorials? Detailed skin like finish make up look - updated version... 🌾👀🌾 or was it just me cause I'm here for it 😂🥰

[@bradhaml]

You and I are so much alike when it comes to speaking up for ourselves. I'm trying not to be passive and not to accept what others are giving me disregarding my own feelings. Lately, I've been calling ppl out on their bs as well as limiting access to myself to ppl that continually put me in a position of contention.

[@NetraMonique]

OMG the nail shop story and not speaking up for myself I can totally relate! AND this literally just happened to me! I am working hard to speak up for myself, and prioritizing me and my feelings ! I'll take this as a sign that I am on the right path!

[@lexiilaw]

Sundays are my favorite days thanks to church and your vlogs! Happy Sunday Sis ❤

[@9darshana]

Nope, you're not tripping AT ALL. I went off on a nail tech who grabbed my hand. She got cursed out, cried, and ran to the back. Such is life! They got someone else to do my nails and all went well. 😊 I literally shook the table!!

[@kesha8636]

I had seborrheic dermatitis before and I went to the dermatologist and got a special shampoo and use it for a couple of months and haven’t had a problem since. Oil and grease can inflame it more. Just FYI.😊

[@gigibrown_wright]

Yes! Seborrheic dermatitis is an overproduction of oil so adding more oil makes matters worse ❤

[@ngozinwafor]

Yes I cured my seborrheic dermatitis with supplements like high dose vitamin d and k2! I have a few videos on my channel you should check out.

[@vallitajackson89]

Happy Sunday everyone ❤❤❤Congratulations on 500k❤

[@alainevictoria373]

I agree. We have to speak up about the things and services that affect us! I have learned to do this even when it rocks the ship buuuuuuut I will rock this whole ship if I feel y’all steering me somewhere I don’t wanna go. Your nails should be how you want. And everything else you pay for or deal with. Period.

[@itsNazsare]

Friend 😂😂😂 it’s a mind blown emoji lol not death but nonetheless he was definitely a weirdo. Don’t be traumatized 😂

I believe she’s speaking on the hourglass and death flag emojis at the end of the text.

I'm so happy you're on this journey of self discovery and deeper introspection because as you said, yes its just nails, but it affects so many areas In our lives. #shakethatshitup !!!

[@LatoijaJ]

You’re the girl the world is watching. ❤

[@Teytey871]

That brown (at the start of the video), blush, and green look GOOD on you! So glad you found a church you enjoy… I’m sure that was missing in the previous year. Try aviators … I think those would look good on you! Nail techs are so hard to find. Your epiphany surrounding that experience is so true for many situations. Keep growing & GLOWING ❤

[@TraciRene]

MAYA! If you continue dating, get a Google voice number. Don't give out your info. I used to do the same thing at the nail salon...and in other areas. I went on a year-long campaign of "advocating for myself". It makes a world of difference and definitely improves the quality of life.

[@ayannabrinae5869]

Baby this is WHYYY i stopped going to the nail shop and found my own tech because alot of techs in shops are just lazy and im 24 so i feel like im just now learning how to speak up because making excuses in the service industry is wild and they almost ALWAYS get defensive

[@nicoleh8979]

Maya!!! I literally had to pull my car over and get off the road to comment on this video!!! Have always argued that when I’m paying I should get what I want especially when I know I’ve properly communicated my wants! I have this issue all the time when trying to get my hair braided! Girl you spoke a word to me! Standing on this in every aspect of my life moving forward ❤ who wants to live unhappy!!👏🏾👏🏾

[@herheartwritesopenly]

You are so relatable Maya! Happy Sunday Gorgeous ♥️🎉

[@LifeWithAleysjah]

It's important to assert yourself when you're not happy with the service you receive. Recently, I had to get my big toe fixed and the job was rushed and poorly done. When I expressed my dissatisfaction, the person in charge argued with me and even threatened to charge me extra to fix the mistake. It's disappointing that a business owner would treat a customer this way, especially for such a simple task. Remember, it's always okay to stand up for yourself and demand the quality of service you deserve.

[@Tahesha]

Happy Sunday !!! Ladies lets continue to check our services that we work hard and pay for......Thanks Maya sis💜💜💜💜 SCREAMING SHAKE THE TABLE new word for 2024🤣🤣

To see if your cleanser is really working use a toner afterward which gets deep into more layers to get out the dirt from the pores.

Hey Maya 👋🏾 I see a lot of influencers focused on skin care but hardly ever see anyone applying sunscreen. We all really should use it year around; even for us melinated girlies

I ❤ your aura. I'm so inspired to level up.

[@ASHLEYANGELINA]

That gray outfit is cuuuuuute

[@bklynbarbie90]

A nail tech made me CRY before cause I was afraid to be the “Angry Black Woman” I asked for their opinion on a color to match my carnival costume & they said they couldn’t help me.. When I said the other tech helped me, they said “Come back when she’s here” (two of them said it) I was on a time crunch so I stayed, then they lied to me about not being able to do designs so I decided not to do my feet there. Could not take anymore. Very relatable!

Hey Maya, "Who's this woman?" 😂😍Chile I hear you on the nail tech not doing your nails the way you want them. You are paying for a service and if the nail tech can't do them correct then you have every right to speak up on it! I had a nail tech fix my nails because I broke two, the nail tech made them too thin and had the nerve to get an attitude so, I got up and went somewhere else.

[@avaterry8710]

Ok so there’s 2 things I just want to say to you about your video Maya 1. I heard that you wanna try colors but still keep your sophisticated look. Because you’re darkskin ( Bright orange, hot pink and bright turquoise) is your colors that would look soooo good on you. Trust me and you can balance it off with your neutral colors. 2. I hate the salon and switch to press on nails. It’s cheaper and looks so good, Try it

[@Cocochanel1017]

Hi Maya, Happy Sunday everyone. GOD bless 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️

[@krissygirl2609]

Maya you should consider going to a private nail tech or only booking with the same person. especially if you're very particular. when i was a child I was timid and never spoke up for myself. i grew out of that very quickly..i found my voice around the age of 19, im 34 now. i say wtf i wanna say to whoever. i live in truth and reality and don't give af who has a problem with it and life is better for it 😎

[@MayaGalore]

Sadly I’m learning that later at 34 but I’m SO HAPPY I’ve learned that lesson now. I will never shut down for others again 🙌🏾
