STYLE GUIDE: HOW TO DRESS DOWN METALLIC PLEATED SKIRT

Birthday Addition- Metallic Pleated Skirt with Graphic T-shirt.

28! Wow, where did the time go. I can still remember what it felt like for moms to tell you to stay in or out of the house because we were letting all her air out (that's a joke) seriously true though. I'm grateful to see another year and happy to celebrate my day because I know folks that don't even know what it feels like to make it to this age. This year for me was stormy but I feel I have pushed through the storm with my head held high. 

From being sick for 3 months, several deaths in my family, and the many attacks from the enemy, sometimes i still scratch my head that I made it through. I am right where I'm suppose to me. Gosh I feel like I've said that before lol. But seriously I'm happy with myself, for who I am, for what I have become and who I will be. I like to think of myself as a simple being with spice of zest.

This look was inspired by my personality, simple but complex. The original shirt i ordered did not make it in time so I ran to my good friend "Ross dress for less" and racked up on some many steals and came across this lovely girl power shirt. I'm a free spirit so putting a simple but complex look together was a quick hop, skip, and a jump!

To top off my look I had to rock my metallic platinum HM skirt, Ross graphic T, Walmart Tassel purse, with these zjewels.com shades. With the help of my bro-ham, he helped me create look at the gorilla art wall in mid- Houston. If you’re ever looking for a space to

take a nice shot try the gorilla art wall. 

I just want to thank you all for sticking with me as go on this journey call life. Happy twenty great to me (as CJ would say) and I thank the Lord for blessing me to see another year! Happy Monday.

DAY NUGGET: HOW TO BE THERE FOR YOUR FRIENDS

                      

Sometimes you just need to take a step back, let people make their own mistakes, be there when they need you, and shut the hell up. At the end of the day, people are going do what they want to do anyway.

In any situation, a person will do what they want to do. Just be there because you can't force people into doing things you want them to do. People won't learn if mistakes aren't involved. Trying to change people for what you might see or think is the best for them is their choice. Over the years I have learned to mind my business. Sometimes your friends, siblings, family members, and associates don't need another mother, they need a friend, a listening ear. So be there despite what you think they should do, be there whether you think there are other ways or routes in life. Besides, how are they to learn if you continue to make a choice for them? Now, needless to say, if someone asks my honest opinion, I will honestly give it but otherwise, I won't say anything just listen. 

"Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently". Henry Ford

I just want you to think about this topic and put these into your own life and see how your individual self could benefit from that. "Be quick to listen, slow to speak" one of my favorite scriptures James 1:19. What are your thoughts? Do I have a point?

Vacation Blog 2017

It is the first week of May and I’m already ready to go back on baecation. Its is me, or does anyone else want to get paid to travel? I am just reflexing on my recent vacation with the hubby and when I tell you, we were looking for relaxation, that exactly what we did. My husband and I planned a week bae-cay with carnival cruise, who we love to travel with. This particular vacation we choose to board the CarnivalTriumph, which could use some work but it was just what we needed.

We are frequent cruiser, so I was excited to find out that I am now a gold member (I felt important for a minute) which basically mean I have been cruising a lot. This was probably one of the most relaxed ships I have boarded because to be honest there wasn’t too much going on other than the awesome and hilarious comedy shows that “HappyCole” performed. Time away is something I have always cherish because it makes great memories. We slept, we ate, and we both gained 5 extra pounds to show for it. I needed this vacation. Work has been at its all-time stressful, school is running my life, and I honestly felt like I was about to pop.

First stop was Cozumel Mexico, man when I tell you, I love Cozumel. If you’re ever looking for alcoholic deals Cozumel is the place to visit. It is a simple but fun island to visit. If you're look for a place to want to shop, get your passport stamp and have a few drink, let's just say I’ve been to Cozumel 5 times. We basically came home with alcohol that would cost a total of $200, In Cozumel we paid half of that. Also, if you are looking for a quick, fun weekday or weekend trip, carnival cruise is the company to cruise with.

Overall this bae-cay gave me the opportunity to reflex, relax, and honestly just breath. Coming back just made me feel like I really have to take care of myself, not allow others to bring me down, and just keep pushing. Hope you guys enjoy, Be Bless and don’t stress.
