Spring is ALMOST here and that means flowers blooming, baby animals being born, bright colors in fashion and warmer temps. Jackets, Jumpsuits, and Dresses are some of my springtime staples. Those silhouettes never go out of style. Spring is a great time for you to try out a new fashion piece and forget about fashion rules. Below are some of my favorite pieces that I have seen. Hopefully, they serve as inspiration to you or even make you want to snatch up an outfit(or two)
I have been blogging and making content on youtube since 2012. I have seen many changes in my life since then.
I decided it was TIME for a rebrand.
I want to showcase all my loves that are Fashion, Beauty, Lifestyle, AND Motherhood. This is my little neck of the woods on the internet. I hope that when you come to my blog you find inspiration and motivation. I pride myself on being real. So pull up a chair and get to know me
Read MoreWhen Instagram rolled out the highlight feature I was excited. I know had a way to store my favorite stories as well as any tips and tricks I shared for fashion, beauty or mom hacks. Making a cover to your highlights helps your page look esthetically pleasing. Its a way for your followers (or potential collab partners if you're a blogger) to see what your page has to offer.
Below I will show you how you can make your very own highlight covers. It's very simple.
Read MoreDate night is something that is wonderful and when you are married should be done at least monthly. We are ever changing and so are our interest. Dating is getting to know your significant other. Life changes us and date night is a good way to check in with your partner. When kids come along it can be very hard to figure out the babysitter, where you should go etc. Bonding Bees takes the work out of planning a dating. you get a date night box sent to you with date activities.
Read Moref you are like me you already have your outfit picked out for the Black Panther movie release. I have had mine since the trailer first debuted. What I wasn't sure about was the makeup look I wanted to go for. Then the Black Panther premier happened and all the attendees SHUT IT DOWN in the fashion department. Everyone looked amazing. I saw a picture of Lupita and was so inspired that I decided to make a makeup look based on what I saw.
Read MoreI titled this as deeper skin because there are women of deeper complexion from different racial backgrounds however, I am going to focus mainly on black women because that is what I am. In sept 2017 Fenty beauty dropped and shook the entire beauty community. This launch of 40 shades was unheard of for a FIRST launch. Usually, the deeper shades are an afterthought. This would confuse me because Black women spend 7.5 billion annually on beauty products.
Read MoreWhen my husband bought our family annual Disney passes last year as our anniversary gift I told myself I would use them as much as I can.
Since my husband works (and is not a HUGE Disney fan) that means we can only go with him on the weekends. Weekends at Disney are fun but definitely more crowded than during the week. That means that if I wanted to get my money worth I had to take the kiddos by Myself. Since we only live 1 1/2 hours away I decided to bite the bullet
have always loved the color red for your hair. Its something about it that I just love. Red is the color or POWER and PASSION. When I am wearing a red lip you can't tell me NOTHING!
When I saw this beauty on Divatress website I knew I had to get my hands on it. I am not going to lie, I was a little intimidated by the color when I first got it out of the box. I actually purchased it in October and I just wore it out This month (Jan 2018).
Read MoreWhen you have been sick for the last two weeks, the last thing you want to do it keep pushing. However, as a mother, you don't get the option of curling up on the sofa with a hot cup of green tea and just sleep. I had two sick kids, a teething toddler on top of being sick, a sick husband and house to run. I am almost at the end of this cold. I am so thankful for grocery delivery services, for the cold that hit FL so I didn't miss being outside lol, for the honey in my green tea that soothed my throat and for the humor that has kept me sane through all of this. I am so glad we are almost to the end of it and will go back to my regular scheduled program soon.
Read MoreThis year was a year of growth for me. I was so happy to finally see the light that is the end to PPD. I also suffer from depression but PPD was another beast all in itself. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. However, I am a survivor and I am so proud of myself as well as my husband for all he has and continues to do for me and our family. This man never complained when he had to work 40+ hours a week to provide for us, get off work, clean the house, cook dinner and take care of our children because I was just not capable to do it
Read MoreThey have been bought out by Unilever. Now, When this was announced I heard right away that they are sell outs and they aren't here for the community that built them but honestly I feel like that is further from the truth. As a SheaBassador I had the privilege to get on a call with Mr. Dennis himself and ask him specific questions about this deal(something that all of the Sheabassadors had a privilege of doing.)
Read MoreI did a little shopping online this last week.Just remember, When you shop small business you are supporting families. I wanted to share a few of my favorite small business that I have purchased from in the past and also this weekend.
Read MoreMy son is in LOVE with legos. He is always asking me to bring along his little mini table. It's a great way to pass the time for him when we are waiting for doctors visits, a restaurant, or even just using his imagination when I am trying to get his sister to sleep.
This is such a simple DIY project you only need three things.
Read MoreThis past Sunday, my husband and I celebrated 12 years of marriage. We had so many reasons to celebrate this milestone. The last two years have been an emotional rollercoaster and with the help of Jehovah and each other we made it through to the other side. Happy and healthy I might add. My husband surprised me with a weekend getaway to Disney with the kids. We had a blast. Xander is now at the age where he is super excited and Kiera was happy looking at the parades and riding rides. So much fun.
Read MoreOctober is Pregnancy and Infant loss Awareness month. I myself am 1 in 4 who have lost a baby and it is the worst feeling ever. I have also dealt with Infertility because of my PCOS and it took me over 4 years to have my son. That is why I am so happy that people are speaking up about their own struggles. It helps when you realize you are not alone. Gabrielle Union has a book coming out and in her book she speaks about her struggles to have a child.
Rhianna is pulling out everyones edges. She just launched Fenty Beauty a few weeks ago. I was away in KY Visiting family at the time the Sephora Associate told us that the first day in their store(in Louisville, KY) they sold $10,000 worth of merchandise.I was not surprised. A line that debuts FORTY shades will def get peoples attention. I was matched and since we were in a big city my shade was SOLD OUT! I had to drive to a small town to get my shade.
Read MoreI have nursed collectively for 3 1/2 years. August is breastfeeding awareness month an I wanted to do something to celebrate the milestones I have achieved in nursing. I have been wanting to do a milk bath photo shoot F-O-R-E-V-E-R. I decided I was going to do one once I hit the 1 year milestone of nursing my youngest.
My son was so excited to help me set up the photo shoot :)
Read MoreA few weeks ago I saw a post shaming women who have 3a-3c curl patterns. I did agree with the statement that the natural hair movement seems to feature more women with that kind of texture. However, I will not sit here and downplay their blackness. I myself am a 4c curly and when I was starting my natural hair journey almost 6 years ago, I REALLY had to look for people with my hair type.4c is so versatile there is so much we can do with our hair and our fros are BOMB DOT COM!
Read MoreFlower prints are on trend right now. I know that for me as a plus sized person I am always looking fro prints that are flattering and trendy. I was so glad to find that PinkBlush has exactly that for me. I was sent three items from them and I was excited to try out these flower print pieces. Since its the summer I KNEW I wanted a few dresses.
