Before May gets away from me and before I prepare for another day, I would like to share my recent adventure conquering a mountain.It was easy getting started, and harder trekking back. However, just walking and admiring nature was a great feeling.

My wishes for summer: to be outside more, read more books, and take more trips (even mini-vacays), find happiness in the little things, worry less, and embrace being young.

There is beauty in my Land of Enchantment

And so it is…soul searching, dancing with sunshine, and endless amounts of sweet tea.

Because it’s raining outside and I rather play with make-up than put my clothes away…

As I rummaged through my make-up caboodles, I was inspired by The Beauty of Color: The Ultimate Beauty Guide for Skin of Color by Iman to try this look. It was really easy to-do and fun experimenting with the ending colors of the rainbow.

What I used:

Mary Kay eye primer (not pictured)

1. Mary Kay Mineral eye color: Peacock blue
2. Maybelline Eyestudio: Legendary Lilac
3. Mary Kay Mineral eye color: Emerald
4. Victoria’s secret Beauty Rush: Hot Ginger

Daydreaming and admiring the rain.

Until next time,

Today was my birthday and today I was happy.

A year ago today, I made a decision to share my views with this world. With positivity in one hand and sassy in the other.

There is an abundance of fashion, beauty, and mommy bloggers. Nothing wrong with that, but there is something missing. Sometimes we focus too much on outer appearances and rarely explore what it means to be secure in our own skin.

I hope I accomplished providing inspiration and confidence for all types of women. I am still on my self-discovery journey, and will continue to use this forum to share such insight.

Until next time,

There is something so intimate and interesting about rituals. Having a routine sets the foundation when starting and ending the day.

After pressing the snooze button a few times, I look forward to my morning coffee or sometimes tea. Eating something sweet and savory for breakfast is quite a delight too.

Then off to the shower to wake up and rinse my curls. Finally, after hair/makeup, and some delicious perfume, it is off to my daily grind.

Jam out to the latest tunes on the radio and do the 9-5 hustle dance. Joy for the afternoon because it is lunchtime. The work day is ending. Time to sweat out any frustrations at the gym or to simply regain focus.

Maybe some television, a book chapter later, with a hot tea. A diary entry and nightly prayers to gives thanks for another day.

Until next time,
