What I love most about maxi skirts is that they’re so easy to wear. Not only is it a fun summer staple but it can add elegance to many fall looks. I plan on sharing different ways to wear maxi skirts so stay tuned for that. In the mean time, lets chat about this yellow floral maxi skirt paired with an orange bandeau. For some reason, bandeaus are my go-to during the summer. At this point, I’m just looking for reasons to wear bandeaus. We still have about 30 days…
I didn’t know what else to title this blog post without calling it what it is. A pink bathing suit. LOL. With hotel prices at an all-time low and flights being cheaper than an uber, some are taking advantage of what could be the only time they could experience an excursion at such a low cost. This week I want to dive into swimwear as well as other summer looks because lets face it! Whether a pandemic is going on or not, its still summer and we’re still going to…
I got abs in 6 days by being resilient and being focused on the goal. Getting abs in 6 days may sound impossible to some but I believe anything is possible once you put your mind to it. After overindulging in peanuts and other snacks, I noticed that my stomach wasn’t as defined as it normally is. Although peanuts are healthy, too much of anything can become bad for you. I decided to give myself 6 days to get abs and document the entire thing. Check out the video below…
I was so excited to review Fenty Skin that I made sure I got early access to purchase it. I’m typically not into skincare because I’ve always been scared to experiment with my skin. Keeping it minimal (cleanse & moisturize with shea butter) has always worked for me and I really don’t get breakouts so I have a fear of skincare products messing up my skin. Some may think that’s weird because I love to play in makeup but I hold skincare in a higher regard and I’m more comfortable…
Sharing this list of black creators to follow is probably my favorite out of my black owned series! This list includes creators that I’ve loved and supported for many years as well as some that I found just a couple of years ago. While supporting black creators and building the black economy, please also support the organizations fighting inequality by checking out this national resource list that includes petitions and legal services for protesters. An easy and free way to contribute is by searching “Black Lives Matter Donate Playlist” on YouTube. Simply let…
As if we weren’t already impressed by Yara Shahidi‘s accomplishments, she has launched 7th Sun Productions with her mother Keri Shahidi. The icing on the cake is that they will be partnering with ABC Studios to create scripted and unscripted projects. Yara Shahidi has always been vocal about the injustice that black and brown people unfortunately face on a regular basis and in her recent Elle Magazine feature, she spoke on passing the baton. This is truly a huge way to pay it forward and contribute to the community. Starring in the hit…
Evaluating decisions is always necessary in life so here are 20 things I no longer buy. I just realized that it’s usually minimalists that create posts like this. I am far from being a minimalist. I love having a vast variety of things. I also enjoy being a woman with strong will as it makes it easy for me to stop doing anything that I decide to cut out of my life. Before checking out the items I no longer buy, support the organizations fighting inequality by checking out this national…
Jackie Aina created a brand (finally) and it’s called Forvr Mood. I’m super proud of Jackie and all that she’s accomplished thus far. From her incredibly successful YouTube channel to her Artist Couture collab and Anastasia Beverly Hills collab and now her own brand! I feel like a proud sister! I’ve watched Jackie Aina on YouTube since my early college years when she slayed her face while still being in the military. Its so refreshing to see how far she’s come. We don’t know what Forvr Mood will entail as…
To brunch or not to brunch while still keeping safe in quarantine is quite a decision. I had brunch at Jue Lan because my friend recommended it and my first time back at brunch had to be at an upscale black-owned restaurant. I think its still important to quarantine and deciding whether you should partake in brunch is highly dependent on your location. In some cities, its perfectly fine to brunch (as long as you have your mask on of course), while other cities are experiencing a tighter shutdown with…
Super excited to share this arm circuit! I’ve never put together a workout for others to try but I guess there’s a first time for everything. Having toned arms have been important to me for years. Being fit has always been important to me. More importantly, being mentally healthy is my first priority. Slide through my instagram post below to give it a try. The instructions are included in the caption. View this post on Instagram …
