One of my many obsessions......... SHOES!!! For all that truly know me, know my love for a Jessica Simpson pump. They just won’t quit!! Her pumps always make me feel super sexy and classy. No matter what the occasion is, Simpson pumps can easily be dressed up or worn casual with jeans. They can be worn at the office, as well as a night out on the town. There are so many trends each season from sling backs, peep toe, pumps, and sandals. I have several pairs. The Quality of them are amazing!! Majority of my outfits are inspired by her shoes. I always find my shoes first, then purchase the look. To me, they are very affordable. Some may find it to be expensive, but my advice to you is to shop around a little. My saying is, always buy for quality. Something that will last a while, splurge on. My favorite stores to find Jessica’s shoes on sale is Dillard’s, Macy’s, Belk, and DSW. They are definitely worth every penny. Majority of the shoes I have by her are heels, and I must say they

    Fall is finally here!!! During this time of year is when a lot of us get discouraged and lazy on our fitness goals. It's officially the time when once we get home, we aren't going back out! It's getting cold outside, yes! But don't let the weather and temperature dampen your motivation. Sometimes during these cold months, you tend to see the best results. A summer body is built during the winter. There are some that think a gym is needed to continue their goals. There are so many at home fitness workouts that can be done from the comfort of your home. For all of those that are new to fitness, and not really knowledgeable of what can be done from home, venture out to Pinterest. There's so many at home workouts posted that will definite help. Below are a few of my favorite Pinterest workouts that I have worked into my trainings.

    I'm from a little historical town in South Carolina called Camden. Along with our many horse race events and battle grounds, Camden is known for its many Antique shops. A few weeks ago, the kids and I decided to go visit our favorite shop, Broad Street Treasures. Broad Street Treasures just stands out to me the most. It's one of Camden's most popular shops.                                          I'm always wanting to add vintage looks and collectibles to my home interior design.  It's just something about things being in their natural state, and having a historical meaning that I love. Vintage items has slowly made a come back in the fashion world.   Treasures always have the most unique furniture. .     Broad Street Treasures not only sell antiques, there's wall art, jewelry, homemade candles, handmade soaps, and SC local honey. Whenever you're in my neck of the woods, drop by and take a look around.      

One thing about the month of October and Halloween, it gives me a reason to binge all of my favorite Halloween movies. It’s just something about the cool air and being under my favorite blanket in a dark room. Popcorn in my lap and candy corn in one hand. Being spooked with excitement is thrilling to me. There’s a few movies you may even find me hiding under the blanket on, while trying to peep on the low. As a mom, I also get to enjoy the Halloween classics with my kids. Watching the classics are so nostalgic and always fun. I still watch them on my own at times. They bring out the inner child in me. Below is a round up of my favorite adult horror films,  as well as my kid-friendly favorites. Kid friendly faves 1. Hocus Pocus 2.

There are many times in life when I just take the time to relax and reflect. Don’t you just wish that you can go back and advise your younger self of all life’s lessons? There are so many things I’ve learned about life and how things work.  Back then I thought I had it all figured out. Everything seemed so easy and played out. If I only knew!!! In life, you always take in consideration of where you come from to try to determine where you’re going. One thing is a fact. I wouldn’t be where I am today without all of my experiences thus far.  The school of life has allowed me to learn from every twist and turn. I fully know and love myself . And through all of my ups and downs, I know what I want out of life.  So what would I tell my younger self?  1- You’re worth it. Always know your self worth and value. 2- Always, always, always stand up for yourself and the people you love. 3- Always surround yourself with the people you love. The individuals that push you to excel a

                      Today I want to share with you guys one of my little slices of heaven. There’s a little bakery on Broad street Camden called Sweet lili’s Deserts. My kids and I are obsessed with this place. Sweet lili’s is where we can eat lunch,  get a nice snack, and enjoy her famous homemade cupcakes of the day. Our tummy’s are so happy when we leave.                   Everything in lili’s is homemade. Her menu consist of cake pops; cookies; brownies; milkshakes; smoothies; cupcakes; birthday cakes; and seasonal goodies.  She has the best homemade ice cream in town, and her chili dogs are to die for.                                   There’s over 50 cupcake flavors for special orders.
