Common Ways You Could be Aging Yourself

Sis we need to talk. There are some common ways that you could be aging yourself and I have to admit that I have been guilty of some of these as well, but I want to save you in making the mistakes that so many women have made without realizing that they are doing it. Trying to look young instead of youthful As a woman that is closer to fifty than forty I understand that the idea of aging can be very scary for some women. I myself still feel as though I'm in my thirties and on a good day, I probably can[...]

Feeling Stuck

Have you ever just found yourself not quite feeling like yourself? For the last year, I've been feeling this way. Now if you know me, you know that I love all things beauty and fashion, but for some reason I started feeling displeased with how I had been showing up for myself. With this year coming to an end, and the leftover remnants of 2020 I cut all my hair off. I know you're wondering what the big deal is, but for someone that hasn't changed their hair in over ten years. This was an emotional event.[...]

Living In Your Purpose

I have to be honest. Everyday I am struggling with this. For all of my life I have always done what is expected of me. Get married, have a child, buy a house, and work long enough for a retirement check. But is this who I really am? I have honestly reached the end of my career, only to realize the longer that I go without pursuing my passions the more miserable I am. Don't get me wrong. This career has afforded me with opportunities I could never have imagined. But it's no longer enough. I recently f[...]

Getting After My Goals

At the beginning of the New Year I vowed to myself that I would get back to reading. I'm not talking about reading an article on the internet or picking up one of my favorite fashion magazines, I actually wanted to feel a book in my hand and get excited again as I read it from cover to cover. As a natural introvert and only child, I found solace in reading. However as motherhood, career and simply life began to takeover, it became difficult for me to ease my mind long enough to simply enjoy it. I ca[...]

Final Quarter

As we are in our final quarter of 2020 it has me taking this time to reflect. I started the new year off strong by celebrating it in Prague and then heading to Vienna. A short time thereafter I incorporated a work trip with a personal trip. This time Germany, Amsterdam and Brussels. I'm thankful for the time spent with friends who have certainly become more like family. But it was also during this time that I had some health scares. I won't go into the details, however it really left me reevaluating m[...]

My August Favorites

I know that we are halfway through September but I could not let another day go by without mentioning my favorites for August. Black Is King- This should come as no surprise. You'll know I go hard for Mrs. Carter and she got me streaming Disney (my child is 21). I have watched this numerous times just for the fashion alone. She can do no wrong in my eyes. In keeping with the Queen B, I have listened to The Gift more times than I would like to admit. H&M Swimsuits- I've worn more swimsuits this su[...]
