Ebony Entrepreneur : Rendevous LLC

Welcome to our first feature of Ebony Entrepreneurs !

Today's spotlight is on Rendevous, a company owned by sisters, Gala Copez-Reaves and Kristaun Copez-Minor located in Northeastern Ohio. Two great women with a simple yet amazing idea. 

"Why not take the stress out of date night and inject the element of adventure and surprise?" 

The beauty of Rendezvous is that the owners are in two different spaces in life who had different vantage points. They both realize the importance of keeping the spark alive in a relationship. Whether you are just dating (Kristiaun) or married with 2 young children (Gala), we realize that making your relationship a priority is a must. Keeping romance alive in relationships can be hard work, and Saturday night movies can get boring and expensive. Why not make date night simple, affordable, yet memorable?

Wouldn't it be nice if all the makings for a spectacular date night were shipped directly to you on a regular basis? Everyone loves the thrill of a new adventure, a new place to explore, and a new reason to fall in love. Rendezvous brings that excitement to your doorstep, each and every month.

Rendevous is the newest approach to the dating life. Rendevouz provides a packaged monthly date experience, delivered to our clients' doorstep - taking the planning out and adding the surprise to our clients' relationships. A main focus of Rendezvous is to not only provide memorable and engaging experiences for couples, but to also do so while highlighting local area businesses and restaurants.
They want each and every clients to enjoy being a Clevelander, and to participate in the things that make this city unique.

Cleveland at night. Beautiful ! 

Rendevous's monthly subscription service will deliver a certificate for a surprise date for you and your partner to enjoy. From exotic restaurants to trendy exhibits, we will be partnering with local area businesses to provide a uniquely "Cleveland" experience that allows you and your loved one to focus on each other, instead of stressing on where to go and what to do.

Whether you venture to a restaurant that is a hidden gem of Cleveland, or you stay home and create the magic for yourselves, our goal is to provide you with a convenient, unique and affordable dating experience that creates memories that last a lifetime.

Participating in a Rendezvous is simple. Our clients will receive a date idea, and the makings of a date to a different Cleveland establishment every month.  Rendezvous will not offer chain restaurants or establishments as we want our clientele to get the authentic Cleveland experience.  Our clients will present the coupon that is enclosed each month to the establishment-which may be buy one get one free, 50% off, free appetizer, and more.

Rendezvous is pro-small business, and will work to make sure that our services highlight the best of what small businesses in Cleveland have to offer. The dates will drive traffic to small businesses across the area, and the referrals from satisfied customers will keep people coming. This isn't your typical coupon service! We at Rendezvous are and will always be looking for business partners to provide our date experiences.

The mission of Rendezvous is to "bring your rendezvous to your door" each month. We will cater to couples of all ages, stages in life, and stages in their relationship. Whether you are in the "getting to know you" stage, married with kids and too busy to plan, or even empty-nesters looking for something new to try - we will make your dates something to remember and cherish.

Rendezvous will launch with their first package January 1, 2014 ! What a great to make sure you and your love start the new year off on the right foot ! Rendezvous recently completed an IndieGoGo Campaign as well to fund the initial start-up. With the campaign now being over,  the rate that will be available per subscription package will be the $25 per month.

If you are local to the Cleveland area, this could definitely be something you may want to look into. If you happen to be like me and are not local, why not join me in waiting for these two gals to expand to a city near you !

Keep Up With Rendezvous !

Happy October curlfriends !

This month I'd like to introduce a series that I have been mulling over for a couple of months now.

I like to begin a series to spotlight small business owner. Supporting Black owned businesses and putting dollars back in our community just makes sense. Embarking on this journey to building my own brand and small business has opened a whole new network for me. I would love to be able to promote and introduce new or maybe not so new businesses.

My goal in this series is to promote healthy competition, a sense of togetherness and a more community-centered mindset of unity. Ultimately, it would be very awesome to have a stronger bond in sisterhood as well. While I want to uplift and promote all small businesses from our fellow Kings and Queens, I can say there will be a strong focus on women owned brown/black businesses.

Girl Power to the max ! (Yes I was a fan of SpiceGirls....Judge me later).

Girl Power ! 

There needs to be more money put back into our communities instead of spending our dollars to enhance the wealth of other communities.

So with all that being said;  please welcome and enjoy Native Love Company's newest Blog Feature Series, Ebony Entrepreneurs !

Designed by me! What do you think ? 

I'm so excited to finally share this with you all ! The very first feature will be going live in two days
So make sure you come visit Friday October 11th to check out the who will be the first feature in our Ebony Entrepreneurs !

What are your thoughts, are you excited for the upcoming features ? 

Is there a company you would like to see featured ?

 Leave a comment telling me everything ! 

Milestone Alert !

Hey curlfriends !

I hope everyone is well on their way to a prosperous and productive week !

I have a bit of news for you all !

First, let me thank everyone that entered my blogaversary giveaway ! I have currently boxed 1/2 of a giveaway package for one of the winners. I am still waiting for the second winner to send me an email response.

The great thing about giveaways it that I LOVE giving and buying gifts for people, so holding giveaways tends to be a lot of fun for me! The only downside is the fact there can only be one winner (or two in this case), which is tough. I want everyone to win and to receive something!

But that's the beauty of giveaways, you can always hold another one ! *coughstaytunedcoughcough*

Next up, MILESTONE ALERT ! Over the weekend, the SimplyCare blog SURPASSED 10,000 views! How exciting, this blog is really growing and I'm so proud!

 I remember when I was celebrating 1000 blog views ! Man, That feels like such a long time ago !

 Do you guys see my new friend Fro up there ? She will be seen a lot more around the blog and facebook page! I've been working on her for a while now, and I finally came up with a design that I like!

Alright, let's keep moving forward. The next bit of news that  I have is that I have two new series planned for the blog! Whoop ! Excited ? I certainly hope so !

1. What The Fuss !
 You know it, and I know it. All over the natural hair community, skin care community and beyond there's this trend of not using certain ingredients or products that contain said ingredients. Some of has been deemed scare tactics, while some just seem a little, well side-eyeish. Well, I'm a little tired of all the bruhaha over certain ingredients. So, in this series I intend to figure out why there's such a protest against certain ingredient without always correctly knowing what and where this ingredients come from. Also I'll discuss why they are so widely used and why they are so widely hated. It's sure to be juicy and informative !

2. So...  You Want To Go Natural.
I want this series to be a starting point for those who are straggling that line between going natural or sticking with the creamy crack. Starting out on a new journey(or maybe your second, third, time around) can be confusing, scary and overwhelming. When people around me would ask me about what they should do, I had an email ready to send out to them. So those helpful emails, along with tips, tidbits, nuggets of knowledge, tricks, do's and dont's will be bundled up all nicely for you to peruse until your heart's content ! If you're a Newly Natural and have a question, you can even submit your questions to be answered in future post !

So, what do you think of Fro ?

Are you excited about the new series I have planned ? 

What else would you like to see ?

*NOTE*

 If you receive my posts via email you'll notice this post has been edited. Don't write a blog post when you're halfway to Sleepville.

Monday Funday !

Hello all ! 

I hope you all had a great weekend !

I Got That Regimen Baby !

What's a regimen ?

Why is it important ?

Why should one use it ?

A regimen is a simple(well, it’s supposed to be ;) ) schedule/routine for taking care of your hair !

Having a regimen is important to the overall health of your hair and scalp.

Having a regimen helps one to learn their hair through trial and error, whether it’s a product, application of said product, when you apply, etc.
