In the video for his The Last Wun single “Won’t Stop,” we see Gunna in intensive training for some kind of athletic endeavor. As it turns out, that wasn’t just so he could show off his improving physique. Today, Gunna announced his first-ever Wunna Run 5k, which is set for September 3 in New York’s Prospect Park. Via Gunna’s Great Giveaway nonprofit and NYCRUNS, participants will be able to donate to causes of their choosing. The marathon also provides a platform for Gunna to launch his partnership in the Flerish Hydration drink line and supplements brand Cymbiotika.

Gunna’s Great Giveaway is “an Atlanta-based nonprofit dedicated to uplifting communities through service, resource giveaways, and innovative programs like the Guaranteed Income Program to support underserved families,” according to the NYCRUNS profile, and the course will consist of ” just under one full loop around the park with a final sprint up Center Drive.”

The run club isn’t Gunna’s only display of his commitment to fitness. In June, he also held a youth empowerment camp in Frisco, Texas. Since his release, he’s made it a point to put his money where his mouth is, giving back and pushing forward with his dedication to wellness and having a positive impact on local communities.

Hello, people of the Internet. Wake up! It’s Tuesday! It’s raining again in New York! And my makeup life is boring lately. For a month and a half I’ve gone out of the house without a stitch of foundation on! Say word! It’s true! I’ve been hanging out in the wild without makeup on and it’s been a crazy ride.

Where have I been? What have I been doing? Why haven’t I been posting? I needed a break to be honest. For the past several years, even while on vacation, I always had new content live on Musings of a Muse but the last few weeks I just haven’t been inspired enough to post. I needed to recharge my batteries. I travelled a lot in April and the last few weeks I’ve had a lot more free time to enjoy stuff that has been put on the back burner. I’ve rediscovered some of my fandoms, embraced new hobbies, and even had some interesting adventures meeting friends from the Internet.

Musings of a Muse has always been a safe space for me and I hope it’s one for you as well. The world is in a state of unrest and the one thing that’s always felt safe and free of chaos was the world of beauty. Sure, we have our drama here and there but for the most part it always feels like coming home when a new blush comes out or someone emails or dms me to tell me, “Have you tried this product? It’s amazing!” I still find the joy in beauty and that’s why this blog is still around after 2007.

I’ll be updating new posts shortly. I hope you’re all doing well. Many of you I talk to on IG or Reddit and some of you via email but if we haven’t talked in a while know that I miss you. I hope you’re out there being the amazing humans I know you are.

Let’s chat some beauty soon
