Meet Our November Woman Crush: Tahira Allen
Tahira and I met through our good friend Khelli a couple of years ago. Not only is she an incredible model but she is also a genuine soul with an incredible business mindset. Her business Naked Face & Body is handcrafted and made from natural ingredients. She is a beautiful representation of divine feminine energy and inspires me to step into my feminine power every time I am in her presence. I am so thrilled to be featuring her as this month’s Woman Crush!
Tell us about yourself!
I am an ambivert & lover of all things beautiful whose’s constantly learning about myself, the world around me & the nonsense in it. A business owner & model who doesn’t know how to tell herself “no” because I love spoiling myself :) A libra, the definition of balanced, I’m a conscious person who loves a good trap song & ratchet moments.
My friends call me a kitchen witch, well…because I am
What do you feel your singleness journey has taught you?
It’s definitely taught me to have patience with myself and my journey. To focus on my passions & dreams. To not be so fixated on the future and to be more present. And that I loooooove being by myself.
What do you think is a common misconception about being single?
A common, and in my opinion, most annoying misconception about being single is that single people are lonely. I am alone but I am NOT lonely, I actual enjoy my own company. To be honest I can’t fathom not wanting to be alone at times.
What inspired you to start your business Naked Face & Body ?
I’ve always been infatuated with obtaining perfect skin and working as a freelance MUA fueled my obsession once I learned about skin care & a proper regimen. I became so consumed by it that I spent hundreds of dollars on skincare product.
After realizing how much I was spending I decided to make my own product (I love a good DIY) and was encouraged by my aunt to sell my product.
How do you practice self - love?
I practice self love everyday by putting myself & my happiness first. Sitting in solitude (this goes back to how much I enjoy being alone) spoiling myself (I probably do this too much, but if not me then who?!) Living a healthy lifestyle & having luxurious self care days. Speaking life over me, meditating & doing things that sparks joy.
How do you deal with loneliness?
Should I ever feel lonely, which is rare. I count my blessings, the attitude of gratitude really changes my mood (sounds corny and cliche but it’s true.)
If that’s not enough I try meeting up, spending time with or talking to my family & friends.
What words of wisdom do you wish to share with other Single Women?
Get comfortable being alone, take this time to really get to know you. I think before getting into a relationship, wether you’re dating to marry or not, you should be whole and selfless.
Give yourself grace.
Be patient and kind to yourself.
