Beautify Me!!

Hello Ladies, here to highlight yet another one of our fabulous Seniors making her mark in the world of entrepreneurship! I just never realized how many women that I actually know that are DOING IT, babee! You see this..... oh, I am too old to start my own business kinda talk....... is NOTHING and I repeat NOTHING but a bunch of bs, as evidenced here, and as well as in my previous and future feature stories! Actually NOW, like right NOW is the perfect time, because at our age we are done raising our families, perhaps "some" of us may still may be on our grinds ......but hey, just know that it is all OK! It is never to late to start! We gotta just put our minds to it, carve out the time..... and simply put it into action! We can think about what we desire all we want, but it requires us "stepping out on faith". Bringing it into fruition requires ACTION, and that is with anything we may want to achieve. I also would like to make note , that all of the ladies that I have highlighted thus far, are very spiritual women, rooted deeply in their faith, and this awesome Senior, is no exception!

Ok, enough now let's get down to the nitty gritty! TROY LYNNE REIMONENQ, is a former grade school classmate of mine, so this is yet another person that I go way back with. In describing Troy Lynn, she was ALWAYS what I can best described her as a pepper, red hot, fire, that is the vision that I see when I think of her. She was always into something! Always full of energy, very vivacious and never ever letting anything slow her down! In her interview with me, she advised that she is a Licensed Cosmetologist, and always had dreams of owning her own Beauty Salon. Troy actually opened her own salon many years ago in 1994. She said that at that particular time in her life however, she was in the midst of raising her kids and worked the salon, but it needed some renovations and she was then faced with the dilemma of, as many of us did at some point in our lives, needing stable income to help support our families. She, therefore left the business and returned to the work force. Troy, never did let her dreams of owning and operating her own Beauty Salon die! This was an absolute passion of hers, and her dreams once again, became a reality, and five years ago.... WHALA, Elegance N Motion was born! Troy was adamant about becoming her own boss again, and honey.... she did exactly that! Her business objectives however has somewhat changed in the "type" of clientele that she caters to. She does rent out "space" and "chairs" to stylists. She currently has four stylists and a braider. Troy herself service primarily Seniors, who may just want the basics, a wash and set, (roller set) the marcel flat Iron, deep conditioning and perhaps a cut and trim . Her primary objective is to make us Seniors just feel good about ourselves, because as we all know, if we look good we feel good! It gives us that much needed boost of confidence we desperately need at times. Also, because she focuses primarily on the Senior clientele, she creates an atmosphere of peace and tranquility, a soothing environment and one in which you just want to have that good ole fashion "girl talk" like we all enjoy now from time to time. Also, giving us our much needed "me time", which I for one treasure! Troy makes it a point to schedule her appointments in that type of atmosphere. You also will never ever have to wait to be serviced. Having personally used her services myself, I can tell you it is very personalized, you won't ever feel rushed, and you will definitely get that one on one attention, which makes us all feel so special. Troy's goal is to eventually provide transportation for Seniors who may not have a way to get to and from her shop. Elegance N Motion is a beautiful establishment, located at 2623 Dreaux Street in New Orleans, Louisiana. This fabulous Senior also has some "other things" up her sleeve that are geared toward Seniors, so in all likelihood, you probably will be hearing more about Ms. Reimonenq in my blog, in the not too distant future. Troy is definitely a "BOSS" making yet more " BOSS MOVES" ! We SALUTE YOU..... TROY LYNN REIMONENQ...... as our Senior extraordinaire!
