Hello my dear lovely readers. I know that I probably sound like a broken record when I keep saying that I am not neglecting you guys. You guys have been holding me down and grounded for the longest time & even though I am venturing into new territories with YouTube and my job...writing will ALWAYS be my number one love.
With that being said...let's catch up. I recently just wrapped up filming another movie with BET and whilst it isn't my first film by all means or being on set the atmosphere was completely different from what I was used to. Granted it was my first time freelancing for the company that the movie was filmed under and it as also my first time working on a film that was based on someones actual life. The crazy thing is that listening to her story and speaking to her you would NEVER in a million years think that she had been through everything that she had been through.
Since we were filming I had to take a break from instagram & YouTube because my work schedule was all over the place and all I wanted to do was sleep on the days that I had off. So, with that being said I am coming back to YouTube and instagram with a bang lol. As far as YouTube goes I am still posting 1 video per week. I have been staying home a lot but I really want to get better at filming and editing but since its starting to feel like Summer...I really don't feel like leaving my house to venture out into the heat. I can easily find something to shoot around the apartment that doesn't require me going outside to sweat like a mad woman. I also feel like I am losing an insane amount of energy whenever I step into the heat. I feel drained of life. Not the best feeling in the world.
I am pretty excited to be taking a beach trip with some of my friends before filming our new movie. Even though it's not the Caribbean ( you will never catch me in the water in the states ) I still have fun playing beach volleyball, drinking and of course just hanging out with my friends. Plus you guys already know that I will be vlogging the whole trip so stay tuned for that.

I don’t think I can really remember when I had regular hair. Well...maybe when I was younger but in my early 20’s ( man it feels weird saying that ) I loved coloring my hair so many different colors. From blue to purple, pink, green, lavender, burgundy, red...orange you name it...
This time I partnered with a company named Overtone to pick my next hair colour. Overtone is a brand that I have heard about & seen all over instagram and I thought that it was cool that you can dye your hair another colour without having to result to permanent colour or even bleaching your hair.
You can take a quiz to figure out what your next hair colour should be & for me it was pretty simple because I was coming from red hair... I did bleach it a little to lighten it up so the orange could really show.
You can take the colour quiz here ( I honestly should have picked Ginger cause that’s the colour I wanted next! ) If you guys are interested in the colour I chose then you can purchase it here.
Overall I love the outcome of my hair and I think I will be using Overtone for awhile! So, maybe once I am done with orange I will test out Ginger!

Hello it’s me. Someone who has become very invisible on her own blog. We’re all the way in March & I haven't even written any posts for the month of February. Which I should probably go back and re-add all of my YouTube videos that I have posted on my channel.
In this video...I met up with an old friend from high school & her kids. We grabbed lunch, caught up and took the kids to the park whilst they played and we just talked some more. I love friendships that even though we haven't seen or spoken to each other in awhile we can still pick up where we left off without things being awkward. I cherish those kinds of friendships.

I miss writing. It’s safe to say that I honestly miss just sitting down and writing out my thoughts either on here on on actual paper. Again, I know that I said that I wasn’t going to do any New Year Resolutions ( which you can read that blog post here ) but I do want to start writing more blog posts this year. I did slack a lot last year especially when Covid hit. I did write a few blog posts but I want to write at least 8-10 blog posts a month!
I know that it seems like a lot but it gives me something to do since were on lockdown again and with the attempt on the Capitol things have been extra tough. I have no reason to leave my apartment so I have been a little slow on vlogging and losing my vlogging camera as well...things were looking grim BUT I have a spare camera and hopefully things will be a little bit more normal after the Inauguration.
With the continuation of the pandemic that doesn’t seem to have to have an end in sight. I have to reevaluate my life and the things that are important to me. I want to spend time with my family, I want to be able to take a trip and see the sights. The first place on my list of places that I want to travel to is definitely Chicago. I think I fell in love with the idea of traveling to Chicago once the collaboration to go fell through. I think that just heightened my fire to go even more.
Right now I am focusing more on blogging and gaining more momentum on my YouTube channel. I have a lot of video ideas planned out...I just haven’t had the time to sit down and film any of them yet. That could also be because of laziness. Something I know I have to work on.

Ah January.
The month where it gets unbelievably cold ( which I love...I am a winter baby ) and Winter Fashion comes into play. I am a sucker for cute boots, chunky knits, my love for bucket hats & beanies and of course the piece that ties everything together...outwear.
Rather than listing all of my favorites items in this blog post; I figured I would highlight each one in their own blog post. That way I can get back into writing more. I love the feeling of sitting down and writing out all the words that come to mind.
So, in this post I am sharing some of my favorite all time Winter Boots ( well more like Fall & Winter ). Happy shopping lovelies.

It’s 2021 and I am slightly freaking out. Not only is my birthday in 9 days but I really wanted to take a trip to a whole new state for my birthday but my plans fell through. Which is okay because COVID is back with a vengeance. They said a new strand of COVID was found in the UK but now they said they have seen the new strain now in LA! It’s only a matter of time before this new mutated strain has spread like wildfire through the States.
The first week of January started off horribly. I welcomed the New Year with my Mum but unfortunately 2 days ago ( now 3 days since this is being posted the following day ) my little brother and I got into a nasty car accident. Everything happened so fast. We’re both fine but I did get a little injured but not severely thank god.
I know that I said in my last blog post that I wasn’t going to be making any New Year Resolutions....but I ended up changing my mind and making a small list. I will be sharing my list on my YouTube channel and of course sharing it here with all of my lovely readers as well. Stay tuned & stay safe! 🤎
