who is miss naja?
Thanks for visiting my personal blog.
I launched my very 1st website, MissNaja.com in 2014 after running a successful free tumblr blog for many years. At that time, I knew I wanted my brand to have a home of its own and I taught myself to code and build this website! Over the years, I’ve written over 250+ articles on this very site, many were penned before I became a Wife in 2016, a Life Coach in 2018, and a full-time entrepreneur. While I don’t write 10 articles per month on MissNaja.com anymore, I am still around! She’s my 1st baby and this blog is like a time capsule to some major transitional years. These days, I spend my time at my businesses BlendedandBlack.com and VIPStepmom.com. My professional website, NajaHall.com will give you an overview of all of my latest endeavors and contact and booking info. Thank you for being here. It means the world to me.

How to create your own Wedding RSVP HOTLINE using Google Voice
