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! ...

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 ...

RH Rooftop Restaurant Birthday Celebration

This past weekend I celebrated my 44th birthday with close family and friends. My birthday isn't until July 30, (LEO GANG) but due to me being out of town then, I wanted to pre-celebrate with them before leaving. I've heard so much about RH that I just had to see what all the fuss was about. RH Charlotte is a luxury home furnishing store located in South Park's Phillips Place shopping center, with a rooftop restaurant and wine bar.  RH Rooftop was such a vibe!! The ambiance and staff were great. Walking thru the doors on the first floor was such a dramatic entrance. There's 14ft high ceilings with chandeliers and a golden stairwell that leads up to the second and third floors. But of course, I came cute, so your girl took the elevators instead! RH rooftop restaurant is located on the third floor. This restaurant is so glamorous. It's a luxurious greenhouse filled with beautiful waterfalls, chandeliers, and marble tabletops. The restaurant is opened all day for break...
