Creator

Free Fan Page Templates

My Free Fan Page Templates were the very start of my online adventure! 

State of the Art Drag & Drop Software to create Facebook Landing Pages, Contests and Timeline Graphics in minutes!

With over 40 Background Templates for the Landing Pages and Contest Apps, over 50 Timeline Cover backgrounds, 500 Social Media Icons, download buttons etc, you could either utilise our done for you templates or create your own from scratch.

We also had easy drag & drop widgets to add images, text, social media buttons, slideshare presentations, optin forms, contact forms, videos.

Unfortunately after pumping thousands of dollars and hours into this product, I got rapidly out-gunned and out-marketed by entrepreneurs and developers with much deeper pockets! 

I was happy to have helped as many as I did build email lists and an audience using the templates on facebook at the time.

Founder & Creator

For the last 13+ years I’ve been building online lifestyle businesses while traveling the globe.

Currently based in Phuket, Thailand, I left the UK with my family in 2010 with minimal savings and a couple of credit cards.

Since then we’ve visited and lived in 40+ countries and have launched, grown and sold multiple location independent businesses.

Here’s a quick timeline;

2010 – Started online biz, built email list to around 10k, generated $30-$40k selling a Facebook course
2011 – Launched The Social Networking Academy, generated $117k in 7 days during launch
2012 – 2014 – Grew email list & income to 5 fig months via membership site, affiliate marketing, social media courses & coaching.
2015 – Started on Amazon, sold over $1million in products in the first 12 months.
2016-2020 – Built Amazon biz to over $3 million a year in sales (around 20% net profit). Sold early 2020.
2019 – Started Your Lifestyle Business Blog as a bit of a side hobby to share past 10 years experiences. Currently generating $10k/month in affiliate sales & sponsorships. 
2023 - Launched our new YLB 90 Day Goal Setting Planner on Amazon & The Solopreneur Success Formula - a 3.5 hour video course sharing my 13+ years experience with new strategies to start & grow a location independent business in your 50’s & beyond.

Tarika Lovegarden here—meditation scientist, transformation coach, and founder of ReleaseReveal™, the whole-person performance brand powered by my proprietary HEAR³T™ Meditation Method. 
For more than 20 years I’ve guided executives, clinicians, and seekers through 10-minute state-shift practices that build resilience, emotional agility & clear thinking. The result? Higher HRV, calmer decision-making, and a life that feels less reactive and more intentionally lived.
 
Why I Do This
I was literally born into meditation—my parents were early pioneers in consciousness studies. Growing up at the crossroads of Eastern contemplative traditions and Western psychology shaped my conviction that inner practice is both art and science. My journey has since been refined through training with revered meditation masters, years teaching at Stanford University’s Health Improvement Program, and field-testing with high-stress professionals in Silicon Valley and beyond.
 
What We Offer
ReleaseReveal™ Daily – bite-size Live sessions + member library for a quick “calm-on-call.”
8-Week 1:1 Series – deeper dive for leaders and wellness clients ready to recode long-held patterns.
Partner & Workplace Programs – integrating micro-practices into executive coaching, concierge medicine, and employee-wellness initiatives (pilot affiliates welcome).
