NGD X 1 Yr Online Anniversary

Tomorrow 7/4/13* is the first year anniversary of my online boutique. 

www.NikGoldDesigns.com

Nik_Gold Designs has been in business for almost 4 years and selling online has helped tremendously. Not only can you custom order but purchase one of a kind pieces online. The anniversary marks my growth and the potential to make this full time, the anniversary is just in time because most of my previous items are sold out. Accessorizing celebrities video and photo shoots, hosting fashion events and premiering my line at an annual BE Magazine fashion show has only fueled me to do more and bigger. There are levels to this but there are no limits for me.

 This year I've worked more with clothes, hand sewn and custom, I grew a deeper passion for making things from scratch just seeing a vision become reality, it's therapeutic. I have more eye catching handmade jewelry and accessories and I love making  extraordinary pieces for guys as well. I will be releasing some special pieces for the rest of the summer and it feels wonderful to have the support system I have. Emails, meetings and phone calls "What's next?", or "Can you create...?" or "I need to shoot with your line" fuels me everyday. Nik_Gold Designs is more than a line but a lifestyle of royalty and self worth.

NGD X Summer X Custom Apparel and Jewelry

This summer is about to be...

Trials and tribulations fuel me to creatively express myself through my business #NikGoldDesigns. Coming up on a year of selling online my profits and experience helped me grow #LiveGold #ShopGold from a line to a brand, and a way of life. People can copy material from you, put you down and there will also be missed opportunities but no one can ever steal your creative mind, persistence and talent. This summer there is so much more in store and I get to work with clients I look up to. 

Creativity X Progress X Positivity

More Than A Resolution!

2012 has been some year. Words cannot even explain it. I have grown and watched the world change rapidly around me. As long as I have been alive I have the same two qualities I'd love to hate, actually I'm pretty sure I hate both. That's why I'm making a change, more than a resolution but a positive change for the betterment of my life.

Between situations changing rapidly and more and more people I know just leaving Earth without notice I know how precious this life we have is. Honestly, the present is a present and people take it for granted *raises hand* I do too.

Between procrastinating and the depressing feeling of contentment and over thinking or stressing over the  BS life throws your way from time to time, one of the quicksand potholes will have you preaching "Tomorrow is a new day" instead of "Just do it" or "Now is the time!"

I realized this life is a blank canvas, every second and experience we have paints our canvas and makes it dense with intensity, lessons and the true stains of life. I'm ready for the journey and truly tired of being tired. Sleep is the cousin of death and procrastination is the devil whispering in your ear. 

Learn and live _GOLD.

Voting 2012 X Obama X Vote

This year was my first year voting, being the young and vivacious 20 year old lady that I am.

For some reason my old soul felt like I voted the first time around for Obama or just wished I did in those cold DC streets

but I did November 6th 2012 and I was elated to see life changes and history made.

Only 40 years ago President Kennedy's brother was quoted as to see America electing an "Afro-American negro" as president in approximately 40 years and I am proud to say he has been elected for a second run!

Lets be aware voting because he is of a certain race is just as ignorant as not voting at all. Learn why Obama is such a great push for ALL of the people and then support! It doesn't hurt to have a voice. It helps to have a opinion of your own!

Thank You!

Wrote this poem the night after the robbery.

- One of the few hand written poems I loosely wrote in class and lost...

So in a sense here is the revision.

Dear Lord,

Tonight I was robbed.

I want to address a couple of things in this prayer

One,

I would like to pray for my robbers

You said to pray for those who art lost

I pray they find their way...

Into a jail cell 

Two,

I thank you for keeping my mother and I safe,

she already has enough to worry about and I'm appreciative of the timing of your work

Lastly, Three

They might have took my flat screen,

*can be replaced

my jewelry

*can be replaced

My sense of security however will never be the same

Guide us through into a better place

And once again I thank you

For everything.

Amen.

- The first one was a tad more cynical and a heap load more sarcastic. I thought toning it down wouldn't hurt.

 People always ask me why nik_gold...

 Why live_gold?

 It's simple really... do you have a gold toilet, a gold shoe, a gold tooth pick dispenser?

 It's the pursuit and yet the happiness we receive while on the road to

Gold.
