Happy Hump Day all!
Sorry I’ve been a little MIA these past two weeks. I’ve been going through some personal issues that honestly I had been ignoring for years. It’s very easy to put up a facade of being okay when things are not okay. What I’ve learned over the past couple of weeks is that taking care of oneself emotionally is just as important as taking care of yourself physically. You can’t ignore one and concentrate on the other, you have to take care of the whole package. At this point in my life I’m learning how to take care of the whole package. Lemme tell ya it aint easy but I’m determined to work through my “stuff” with the appropriate supports. I’m blessed with a wonderful support system that surrounds me and accepts me for who I am which makes my journey a little easier.
With all that said, blogging is something I love doing and will continue to do so. Blogging has given me so much and to abandon it is not an option. I will do my best to keep my blogging schedule up but if I slip here and there, dont be alarmed…Im not going anywhere!
Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday all!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday weekend! I spent Thanksgiving with my family in New York and we had such a good time hanging out together. I haven’t been feeling myself lately so going home was the best thing for me. Feeling their love and acceptance definitely lifted my spirits.
Now that the holiday party season is upon us, figuring out what to wear can be somewhat stressful. May I suggest the classic LBD (little black dress) for your party needs? The LBD is a classic wardrobe staple that can be worn to any holiday soiree on your calendar.
Below are a sample of some of my favorite LBDs of the season.
Which one do you like?
Have a wonderful evening!
TGIF all!
I gotta be honest, I’m not feeling my outfit today. Being casual is always a struggle for me because I’m so used to dressing up everyday. Does this sound silly? I’ve seen other women (such as my new blogger crush Curves and Curls) with amazing casual style but I just cant do it! Gimme a pencil skirt and some kitten heels and I’m good to go. Give me a pair of jeans and shirt and I’m at a loss. Go figure!
Nevertheless, I’m committed to improving my casual style. If any of you have any tips please feel free to share!
Have a great weekend!

Happy Hump Day all!
So it’s day 20 of my 30 Day No Shopping Challenge and not shopping is still a struggle but I’m finding it easier to resist my impulses. Since I haven’t been shopping, I’ve discovered clothing that at one time I HAD to have. This holds true for this Michael Kors leopard print skirt I’m wearing today. Last Fall I HAD to have it so I bought it and wore it a handful of times. Unfortunately the cycle of buying clothes I had to have and then “falling out of love” with them was becoming too common, leaving me with a pile of rarely worn clothing. To be honest, it kinda makes me ashamed of how greedy I had become with clothing. I honestly thought I was adding to my wardrobe but in actuality, I was just collecting more and more stuff. This challenge is teaching me to appreciate what I have and not to covet stuff so much. Now don’t get me wrong, I still LOVE clothes but instead of running out to buy new stuff, I’m learning to work with what I got.
If you are participating in the 30 Day No Shopping Challenge, how is it going for you so far?
Have a wonderful day!
