When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we’ll see
No I won’t be afraid
Oh, I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

🍯🐝Β Hi Honey bees! Happy Sassy Sunday!
After two nights of holiday celebrations, this morning I treated myself to a group cycling class at Power +Flow Studio. This was not my first time on a bike, but it was the my first time in a group fitness class.
The instructor, Kristina, started our session with a remix of the beautiful song by Ben E. King, “Stand By Me.”
As I was focusing on my breathing and how my body was receiving the energy in the room, I felt so grateful for the another day.
This month, I have started doing activities that I enjoy. I also started letting go of people and things that no longer serve me. All negative vibes, please exit left of the stage. π
We spend so many moments alone. How we talk about ourselves in front of others and to our others is so important. I haven’t been the kindest to myself and taking action to change that.
As we set our intentions for the coming year, I hope you achieve all that you aspire and that you do everything in your willpower to make it happen.
Be Fashionable
White out parties…how do we feel about them? Comment below.
I’ve been gravitating towards jumpsuits for holiday events.Β I love an all white outfit. What I don’t care for is contemplating alterations or if I should wear higher heels. Shoutout to dry cleaning services for saving all my white apparel.
This all-white jumpsuit I purchased from Fashion Nova is no longer available on their site, however, I will post similar jumpsuits on my LiketoKnowIt page.
All white parties seem to pop-up out of nowhere, so adding these pieces to your wardrobe now, will save you a frantic shopping trip in the future.
Don’t forget the SPANX!Β There are so many variations, but the high-waisted shaping capri’s were perfect. I purchased a size 4 in tan from Target. These were an absolute life-saver to keep me feeling my B.E.S.T!
Embrace Individuality
Iman’s showstopper gold jumpsuit by emerging designer,Β Harris Reed, at the Met Gala was absolutely stunning! She has always been the epitome of style, grace, and embracing individuality.
I was gifted her book, The Beauty of Color – The Ultimate Beauty Guide for Skin of Color. Her book of beauty provides insider tips and tricks to embracing the shade you’re in, because beauty has no skin tone.
Stay Classy
The difference between proving a point and standing up for yourself.
I have been more candid in my personal conversations with friends, family, and acquaintances. If my ear doesn’t like what it’s hearing, I’m choosing to speak up.
I was in a situation where what I said wasn’t well received and this individual attempted to silence my opinion in front of our small group. I paused, realized this may not be the appropriate place to express my differences and changed the subject.
I slept on the situation and felt the need to reach out to share my point of view in another way. My second attempt, was returned with a no reply.
How I choose to react is all I can control and with some self-reflection, there’s no need to continue imparting my view on an audience not willing to listen.
Have you been in a similar situation? How did being ignored or rejected make you feel?
Treat Yourself
There’s a reason why hair, skin, and nail vitamins are grouped together. Each are a signal of health.
Currently, my skin and nails have been in need of some extra care.
I was gifted some KISS nail products that helped me look more put together and save time. Any shade of purple, is my favorite and this set from KISS were a perfect last minute detail for an event I attended.

Products that DO what they SAY they WILL DO!
I had two painful pimples that left that area of the skin with dark spots. I purchased the mini bottle at my local Walgreens to see if this would help improve my skin’s appearance. I’m not even half-way through the bottle and both of my spots have faded tremendously.
Until Next Time,
🍾Here’s to always being your B.E.S.T!
