Unwind and Relax Honey!!

     If you're like me, after a long and stressful day at work, you want nothing but to come home and soak away the anxiety and stress of your day. Over time I've developed a routine that I follow on these particular days, that really helps my body relax and calm down for a good night of sleep. After dinner, I go in my bedroom and light my lavender and chamomile candles. Lavender and Chamomile is great at getting us in the mood to sleep.  Lavender is also good for those that suffer with anxiety. It helps you calm down by slowing your nervous system, while making it easier to relax. After lighting my candles, I turn off my bedroom lights and close my room door to keep the aromatherapy in. My favorite lavender and chamomile candle is by DW Home. When ever I'm in T.j.Maxx, I usually pick up 2 -3 of them at a time. Its a much needed necessity in my home. 😁

     Next I run a hot bath with Dr Teal's Pink Himalayan Mineral Soak (Restore & Replenish). The soak is a combination of epsom salt and pink himalayan salt to revive tired muscles and replenish your body minerals. The bergamont and sweet orange oils provide relief from stress. I turn my bathroom lights off as well, and burn a small lavender and chamomile in my bathroom too. (To set a more relaxed mood).  Relaxed, I lay there for 20 mins to allow the soak to work and relieve. Then wash like normal. I usually purchase Dr Teal's from Walmart or Ulta. Walmart is always a little cheaper.  It's $4.87 a bag in Walmart.

Another Body product that I love to use in the bath and out, is the Bath and Body Works Stress Relief And Sleep aromatherapy lines. I use the shower gel and body lotions. Both lines awakes your senses, clears your mind, and relaxes your body instantly.  These Bath and Body lines also have matching candles as well.

                       After bathing, I then put on my favorite pjs, make a cup of green tea, and find my favorite book. As I read a little while sipping on my tea, my body starts to feel so light and relaxed. Before falling asleep, I then get up and blow my candles out. The next morning I awake well rested and energized. Feeling like a new woman, I'm ready to take on the day ahead.  Guys I live by everything above faithfully. I hope by sharing with you all, you will find some of my hacks useful. Please try the routine and let me know if it works wonders for you as well.

Kyrzayda Rodriquez....My Style Icon

Kyrzayda Rodriquez was someone that inspired so many people around the world, including myself. I was one of her biggest fans, always in the back ground cheering at her success. I began following Kyrzayda’s blog and social media pages mid 2014. She inspired me by her love for fashion, hair, and the love she had for every family member and friend. We never met, but we conversed a few times thru social media. She became a part of my life in a major way. Her love and hustle for what she did truly inspired me.  Because of her, I finally took the leap in starting my own blog.  Over time, she became my inspiration for fashion and more.  I can’t count how many times I’ve screen shot a picture of her to take to my stylist for inspirational hair cuts! She's definitely my hair crush and goal.  I wanted my hair just like hers. My first time running across Kyrzayda was on Pinterest. I found several pixie cuts I thought was so freaking cute! ...

Radiant skin: Apple Cider Vinegar and Baking Soda Mask.

Natural Beauty      For the past 4 months now, I've been using the baking soda and apple cider vinegar mask. And I must say....It has worked wonders for my skin. I have oily skin, so i tend to have visible pores time to time. This mask has transformed my complexion radially, and has reduced my pores tremendously. My skin is more smooth, blemish free, toned, and I have a natural glow.     If you have a teenager at home struggling with acne, this mask is the to go to. Teenagers tend to struggle with stubborn acne. I have a 15 year old daughter, who has just started having breakouts. I've started her on the mask as well. She LOVES it!!! I'm happy I've found something we both can use that's natural and free of harsh chemicals. Baking soda and ACV exfoliates the skin by removing the dead skin to clean deeper into the pores. It eliminates black heads; treats acne ( It dries the pimples out and removes oil from skin); unclog pores; kills the bacteria that...

This is 44...........The Self-Love Era!

 This past July 30th, I celebrated my 44th birthday. I swear, once I turned 35, these birthdays started coming around fast as hell. But I thank the most high for allowing me to see them all. Giving me the opportunity to be here for my beautiful children, as well as my family and close friends.  A part of my brand is encouraging self-love and improvement. Daily I strive to evaluate myself inside and out, as well as where I am in life. After much reflecting, there is a lot that I'm truly proud and grateful for. But there's also things that I must continue to work on daily to enhance my inner being. While there's room for improvement, I also thank my current self for becoming the woman I currently am. I will continue to celebrate all wins in life no matter how big or small. This past year was filled with so many small wins that I've prayed for a long time. We owe it to ourselves to acknowledge and celebrate those wins too. 44 is my era of self-love, my healing of progress ...
