Man oh man I never thought that I would be writing this post again. I told myself that I was going to keep writing but in the end I neglected my blog & placed all of my attention on getting back into Youtube. Which is failing by the way. I still don’t understand the ins and outs but I am still going to post videos on there praying that I get used to it.

I honestly don’t even know where to begin with this post. Should I start with the good or the bad? Happiness or sadness. There are so many thoughts swirling around my head that I just want to get it all out & maybe feel a little better.

I guess I will share the good that has happened this month first. I recently reconnected with a friend from high school. We haven’t seen each other in 10 years so it was really nice grabbing lunch with her and catching up. It literally felt like no time had passed between us at all. We even realized that we never fought or had an argument when we were younger. Let’s be real we are pushing close to 30 now but it was just nice talking about the past, the present and the future. I don’t I think that it was something that I needed. There will definitely be more get togethers in the future as well.


The ending of January into the beginning of February was not the best for me. So, when I got an invite to go and create my own candle...I said hell yes. I was invited to Paddywax Candle’s new location in Georgetown where we got to create our own candles & pick our own scents. It was actually the first time I have ever done something like this so it was a memorable experience. Their whole location was so aesthetically pleasing that I cannot wait to go back.

Overall the best thing about this month would be meeting Ruth Carter. We actually hosted her & styled her new collection with H&M. It was such a fun event & I am thankful I was able to meet her. She has such a kind soul. I definitely look forward to working with her in the future!

Wow, I feel like this post is a few days late but better late than never right? I cannot believe that we are in September already! I swear it was just yesterday that August just started and I was coming back from a crazy uncomfortable road trip from San Diego all the way to Maryland. August was definitely interesting, to say the least. There were definitely more down days than great days but I am hoping to turn it around this month. I don't think anything will top being able to meet Niko and the NARS team. It was literally the craziest thing to happen to me! Why? Because it was completely unexpected!


From traveling to Florida for a wedding to heading all the way to Vegas with my Mother. I can definitely say that it has been such an experience. I want to go back to California for sure to visit LA, San Fransisco and of course San Diego again because I really want to experience it!

Like I said I know that this post is beyond late but I guess better late than never right?

OH, my goodness. I cannot believe that July is over. I am not going to lie. July was pretty uneventful. I didn't do much when it came to leaving my apartment and was barely writing anything on the blog or posting on social media. I wanted a break from things until my "vacation". Even though lets be real...when you work in social media...you never really get a real "vacation".

I finally booked my ticket to San Diego. There was a big debate on whether or not I was going to go again but in the end...my Mum and I ( who will be my photographer for this trip again ) decided on going.

I have been adding some inspirational quotes to some of my photos on instagram and you guys seem to be loving them as much as I am! Doesn't it just make you feel slightly better? That goes for anyone...even if you are in a great mood. It will make you feel better! Trust me.

I decided that whilst I am in San Diego...I will be posting a new a blog post a day! So, that means you guys will have a new blog post for 2 weeks along with vlogs! I am hoping to get my creative mojo back whilst I am there and well I did last time. I had so much new things to share with you guys. Hopefully this time...we will get to venture to more new and beautiful places.

Also...I am currently sitting in Compass Coffee ( which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone anymore ) writing this out before the month actually ends ( today is the 31st of July ) and I couldn't be happier with myself. I definitely posted June's recap so late and I wanted to knock this one out before I head to San Diego and started bombarding you guys with photos and of course vlogs!

Well this post is severely overdue! I am not going to lie. I actually forgot all about writing this post. I don't even remember if I did a ' May Favourites '. This would be the part where I opened a new tab on my laptop and pulled up my blog to check. Okay, well....I didn't. I am going to apologize in advance for skipping last month but I will talk about some of my favourite things in June.

Before I start I want to say a massive congrats again to my best-friend Sylvia and her husband for welcoming their babygirl into the world. Baby Elli. She is as gorgeous as her strong mama. I cannot wait until she gets a bit older and I will be spamming you guys with photos of her!

I will be booking my ticket to San Diego this upcoming week because well next month is August and I will be flying out again. This time it will be planned unlike my last visit there. Hopefully since majority of my family will be there it wont be as bad. Fingers crossed lol.

I finally hit 12k followers on Instagram! I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has followed me from the beginning until now. I am super thankful that you guys have faith in me. Should I do a massive giveaway for you guys? Let me know.....I feel like I should to be honest.

I know that I neglected my blog a bit. Well I think I mentioned this in a previous post but if I didn't ( my mind has been everywhere lately ) I will mention it again. Most of you guys know that aside from blogging I actually do/work Fashion Shows around the DC/VA area but lately I actually started dipping my toes into Film and Commercials! You guys will be seeing some of the commercials I work on TV soon! Don't worry I will be posting them here on the blog as well so you guys can watch it as well. It is something that I never thought I would be doing. I look at everything I watch completely differently now.

June was a month filled with ups & downs but I have learned a lot from it. I have also gotten used to being alone. It's not ideal but this is something that I am choosing for myself. I want to focus on myself and push myself. Everyday I wake up and I tell myself one thing that I love about myself. It actually works and it just brightens my day immensely. I personally think that this is something you guys should try. I am also going to try and lose the weight I gained from being depressed. I want to get rid of that low part of my life. It is like a constant reminder of the recent low point. Now I smile and I am sincere about it. I am not saying that my depression is 100% gone but I am working on eliminating it all together.

I did do some shopping but I also created a capsule-ish wardrobe which means I got rid of a lot of shit as well. 10 giant garbage bags filled with clothes, shoes and bags. I am not going to lie...it felt great.

News:

January is officially over and it was pretty hectic! From working overnights at work to celebrating my birthday. From visiting New York City and hanging out with my friend Ingrid to working a broadway production and meeting Taye Diggs! Let's just say January has been a good month for me and the year just started! It is exciting to be networking and putting myself out there. I always say that I am a hard worker and nothing comes hand given to me.

Plans:

Well for the wonderful month of February aka Black History Month. I am actually currently writing this as I am packing for a weekend getaway to my second home! As you all know its NYC! Why? Well remember I stated that I was going to be working with none other than Taye Diggs? Well the grand premiere of his broadway production is on Saturday and I am so excited to see all of our hard work and vision come to life on stage!

Shopping:

I am not sure if I am going to be doing some shopping whilst I am in New York but I mean who can go to NYC and NOT do a little shopping? Am I right?

Watched:

I have been watching all sorts of TV shows like The Big Bang Theory, The Golden Girls, Criminal Minds & Friends.
