LIFE UPDATES

Hey! It's been a while. Sorry for being so missing-in-action, but I've been dealing with A LOT. I'm here to tell you all about it, in short (like, super short lol).

I went through a break up and was in a car accident. It's definitely taken a toll on my mental health; I became completely unmotivated, but we're pushing through. Things are getting better, and I'm able to give you guys an update on my life! :) That being said, I plan to create a couple of more blog posts before the year is out. Next year, I'm thinking of trying the YouTube thing, again. I have some great ideas, so if everything works out as planned, there will be consistent content over there. I love you all!

VACAY TO THE BAHAMAS

Hey guys! If you follow me on any of my social media accounts, then you know that I recently went on a family vacation. We took a cruise to The Bahamas! :) I had a lot of fun, met new people and ate sooooo much (lol). 

While in Freeport, Bahamas, my family and I decided to dress alike (in khaki and white) to take a "2017 Family Vacation" photo. Our time was limited there, so we didn't do much, however I made my way to the bar for a few drinks. The very next day, we arrived in Nassau, Bahamas. There, we shopped A LOT. Unfortunately, we didn't make it to the beach, BUT I made it up by laying out by the pool on the boat. Speaking of, there were tons of activities from showcases to parties, karaoke and more, and guess what?! I recorded footage for you all to see!! Enjoy! :)

GREEN MAXI

Hey, what's up?! During the summer, dresses are my go-to. They're comfortable and easy to wear and only take a few seconds to put on; no fuss!! I've just gotten back from my vacation, and while it is extremely hot in Georgia, it's literally raining every other day (I miss the clear blue skies..lol). However, when there's no rain, you can find me in a dress.

I'm wearing:

Dress - Marshalls (similar here and here)

Shoes - Charlotte Russe (similar here)

STYLISH ON THE GO

Hey! It's been a while. Between me being sick for the first half and being computer-less for the second half, May was an interesting month for me. Nevertheless, I'm better and I replaced my laptop, so things will swing back into motion very soon. :) I've kinda been sitting on these photos, and I'm sure you've seen this kimono all over the place by now (even on my Insta feed). I'm gonna share them anyway (lol).

I'm wearing:

Kimono - Zara (similar here)

Dress - H&M

SONGS I SING ALONG TO

Hey guys!! I know I've kinda been M.I.A. the last week or so, because I've been sick. I HAD PINK EYE!! Disgusting, I know; I don't even know how I got it, but it was there. On top of that, I also had a really bad cold, so as you could guess, my energy level was below 0. However, I'm here today to share something my family and friends really know...

I absolutely love to sing! I'm no Whitney Houston or KeKe Wyatt, but I can sing a little tune (lol). I literally sing all day, everyday and everywhere. I also listen to pretty much every genre of music, and knowing the lyrics to my favorite songs definitely makes Atlanta traffic way more entertaining. Listen to my playlist of jams!! :)

5 MUST HAVE APPS

Hey! Though sometimes I wish we could all go back to the easy living days of the 90s, technology obviously plays a huge role in our daily lives. Anything we may want, or need, is on demand from the palm of our hands. Honestly, we'll be living like the Jetsons soon enough [lol]. So today, I wanted to share with you guys the 5 apps I can't live without!

Planoly: The BEST app for planning Instagram. I use it to plan my posts and Insta stories ahead of time, which is how it's so aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

Calm: If you believe you don't have enough time in your day to meditate, no worries; there are guided mediations from 3 to 25 minutes, with soothing sounds. 

Podcasts: A native app on the iPhone that I love more and more each day. I've been listening to podcasts for about 5 years now, and it's super convenient to have the app readily available. Some of my faves are The Read and The Friend Zone.

Apple Music: Like Podcasts, Apple Music is another native app on the iPhone. For only $10 a month, you have access to listen to whatever song you want. 

Pinterest: Where I find inspiration for most, if not all, things. Whatever questions I have, I look at Pinterest first.

I hope you enjoy these apps!!

OFF THE SHOULDER

Hey! So I'm a month too late, but I don't believe I thanked you guys for your birthday wishes. So, THANKS A BUNCH!! Also, if you hadn't noticed in my last blog post, I colored my hair! Well, I didn't actually do it myself; I just made the decision to get it done [lol]. The "cold shoulder" is one of my favorite trends this season, which means I'm giving you a little shoulder action for Spring. I think it gives off sex appeal without showing too much; 'subtle', if you will.

I'm wearing:

Top - H&M
Jeans - H&M
Shoes - Charlotte Russe
Bag - Aldo (similar here)
Sunglasses - H&M
Choker(s) - Forever 21

EASTER DRESS

Hi friends! With Easter being around the corner, I thought I'd share some Easter outfit options. I usually go for a dress every Easter, but I'm not sure if that's the route I want to go this year, so this post is going to help me as much as it will possibly help you. 

Pictured above is what I wore last year to church. What attracted me instantly to this dress, aside from the florals, was the shape; I loved the way it fit, and to top it off, it was a last minute find. I paired it with black basic sandals and a black biker jacket *not pictured*.

I'm wearing:

Dress - H&M (similar here and here)

Handbag - Francesca's

Shoes - Windsor Store (similar here and here)

Sunglasses - H&M

There are a few options that caught my eye, below. Click the links to see where you can buy!! :)
