Serving: IKYL! Where have you been?!

"Hey...hey...how y'all doin?" I know, I know...it's been over a year since I've posted on this platform...and... I literally have no clue as to why I've neglected blogging so much. In my defense so much has happened, from a career change to homeownership and everything in between, but I will spare you with the logistics. Anywho, it's a new year, 2024 is upon us and when I tell you I'm excited for all that's in store, I'M EXCITED! 2023 was a comfortable year, which honestly, I needed it to be. But now that I've settled into this "new" life (more on that later), I'm ready to get to it! So, mark my words this will be the last "where I have been?" post, because I'm making a commitment to myself and to my following on all of my platforms, that you will SEE me! So, if you have not already, please follow me on all of my social media platforms, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube! I'm looking forward to sharing with you my passion of fashion, beauty, and inspiration! 2024, let's get it!

Serving: Keep Going

The mind is so powerful it’s almost scary! Our thoughts are the co-creators in the trajectory of our lives. That is why it is very important to be clear of the thoughts that you’re thinking and be VERY clear on what it is you want for YOUR life. It’s imperative, as it is biblical (“As a man thinketh, so is he” Proverbs 23:7, “Where there is no vision, the people perish” Proverbs 29:18).

The law of energy states that, energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only transferred. This is also true mentally. When we’re not clear on what it is we want out of life, our energy is subconsciously shifted to what we don’t want, creating a life we do not want for ourselves. Trust me, I’ve learned this the hard way. The only thing that separates the ordinary from the extraordinary is the will to keep going. Life will give you every reason possible to give up. However, when you’re clear mentally and connected spiritually, peace is present. Peace is needed to navigate the sometimes treacherous ebbs and flows of this thing we call life. Our true peace can only come from the “Prince of Peace”, Jesus Christ. Resting and knowing that he will not play you! He has us all!

Stay the course, focus on the one who can steer you in the right direction (God), BE CLEAR, and keep going. Be well and be blessed, folks!

Serving: How to Create Easy Outfits on the Go

Have you ever needed something to wear in a pinch and ransacked your closet and came up with nothing? In today’s post I’m giving you my tips on how to create easy outfits on the go.

1. Stick to the basics: First identity the basis that work for you and your frame. Basics are a great pair of jeans, a great dress, neutral colored top, great pair of shoes, etc. Often these items are in neutral colors which makes them easy to style. It’s any item in your wardrobe that can be paired with anything! When creating an easy outfit at least one of your items in your look has to be a great basic. For example, a nice blouse with your favorite pair of jeans and a cute shoe is an effortless look.

2. Focus on Fit: Make sure you have items in your wardrobe that fit the body that you have, currently. You guys know that I’m a huge advocate of purging anything in your closet that does not fit the body that you currently have, items that you have not worn in at least a year, or items that you don’t absolutely love. You should be purging and assessing your wardrobe regularly.

3. Consider one-piece items: One-piece items, such a dresses and jumpsuits are great pieces that take the difficulty out of getting dress. When you’re pressed for time and need a great outfit, have a go-to dress that you know fits you great and that’s in a color that compliments you!

4. Create outfits ahead of time: One of my favorite things to do in my spare time is to play in my closet. When I’m bored, I spend time creating outfits for different occasions. I encourage you all to do the same. By doing this, you alleviate the need to create an outfit, especially if you’re on the go. Make sure it’s one that you know that fits you properly and one that you absolutely love!
