03:12motivating i just love it it's just like a family it didn't even feel like work it was like everyone

03:30family before you go we gotta highlight some of these outfits so the one that i have on right now again i've
03:37been getting compliments on all day talk a little bit about this it's a piece of fucking sweet
03:43so that is already set
03:48yes that is my hair set i love the set of that i have worn that i i so i wore that concert and i also
03:56wore it to host um mary jay vlog had a ball i wore it to host the ball so i feel like that outfit is like
04:03it's like a cute fly outfit it's really cute it has a really good amount of stretch it really it's
04:08like loose at the top because i'm really big on trying to accentuate and like hide certain things
04:14hide curves but the the bottom and the waist it looks so good it's like it's like perfect i want to
04:20to get that hourglass i'll take it okay and then we have another piece here i have a beautiful model
04:26here for us to lose she has a cute little shirt head on oh you look cute and you're raven
04:36so she got one she has on the raven hoodie and she has on the raven shorts so the raven hoodie is a zip
04:43up hoodie and the shorts that's that's a really comfortable cute little look um so we also have that
04:50hoodie that the raven hoodie is more of a craft we also have it in the the ring and it's more of an
04:57oversized fit in case you don't want your stomach out so we have two different versions of that
05:01hoodie so they both go with it look at that and then this i absolutely love this outfit you have some
05:11denim shorts to go with it and this beautiful top talk about it
05:15yeah so the denim shorts i love those denim so if can you turn them around so they feature our m's
05:26our signature m's on the back pocket and if you look in the inside can you open the inside the inside
05:33waist this is my favorite part about the shorts so it has elastic in the inside of the waist so it can
05:38adjust so no more no more getting your jeans tailored you can literally like adjust it to the thick that you
05:45want you can make it tighter if you want to because a lot of times we have curves so if your waist and
05:50your hips are a different size you can literally pull it and you don't have to deal with that large
05:54yet this stretch is amazing like those are my favorite shorts that's the first thing i asked
06:00i was like yeah those shirts are weird because look so if i'm wearing jeans that don't stretch i typically wear
06:0830 but in those because the stretch is so good i can wear 20. so beautiful and we just love that
06:13thoughtful design at shop essence live like you guys you founders really really take care of us
06:20and have these really thoughtful touches to it and the jeans are so comfy the quality of them is so amazing
06:26and again i love the way that your crop tops are made like they're so flattering and they cut off at the
06:33right spot to really create our come on live creating that hourglass it's all it's all about
06:41the woman's body i'm always thinking about the woman's body i just want to make sure we accentuate
06:46that right here we love it and before you go you are so inspirational if you can just tell us this one
