PSA: Body-Shaming is Played Out: Stop it.

I was watching a video on Twitter today and it made me think of this little public service announcement about our bodies and our health. I say this specifically for women, because women’s bodies endure a lot (childbirth being a main example). BODY-SHAMING IS PLAYED OUT AND IF YOU DO IT YOU’RE HORRIBLE. And let…

Self-Care Sunday: Love Yourself

This Sunday, I wanted to create a simple but meaningful post to promote self-care this week. The message is clear and important; love yourself. Self-love is the most important and effective way to show love these days. Now more than ever, we have to love ourselves even when we are not able to get love…

Finding my Confidence

Fun fact: Despite my consistency in the gym, I still sometimes battle with the level of confidence I have with myself. It’s crazy, I know; but it is possible to work very hard at something and still not always feel like you look as good as others may see you. I’ve received many compliments on…

My 2020 Word

I’ve seen several posts on Instagram or Twitter asking, “what is your one word for 2020?” I believe this has now taken place of your once dedicated resolutions.

Loving Yourself

Q: Do I like what I look like? Why? Why not? It took a long time for me to finally be able to answer this question with a “yes.” For the longest time, I would say yes, but be lying to myself. I was always the “awkward” girl. I never saw myself as someone that…

#50Days50Questions: Use What Ya Got! 

What are my talents? Am I utilizing them? How can I use them more? Hmmm…..my talents.  I guess if we’re counting; I have two.  Obviously, I’d like to think one of my talents is writing (lol).  I also enjoy singing, but it’s definitely something I keep under wraps.  I’m one of those people you will…

The Awkward Bird

Contrary to popular belief, I am an awkward bird.   I’m ashamed to admit that as I approach 30, I feel more and more insecure about myself. I have yet to find a level of feminine comfort and security, and there are days in my life where  I feel completely awkward and misplaced.  I have…

Hello, 2017

2017 began with me being very #CarefreeBlackGirl and confident in myself.   I pray that 2017 continues to allow me to do more of this; be happy, have fun, be confident and wear more cute shoes…lol.  Happy New Year! 

Fragile..

Sometimes,  Even the strongest exteriors, Are fragile inside. Sometimes, Even the sturdiest levels of confidence, Can crumble with the burdens of negativity. ✌🏾️
