Staying Calm During a Pandemic


Never in a million years did I ever think that I would live to witness a pandemic such as this. I mean, this is something you would read about in text books. And whats worst, it's during a era where my kids are witnessing it also. 

 The world is being shook with this global pandemic. I don't think things will ever be the same. Although things are very scary and worrisome right now, its very important to remain positive and know that this too shall pass. Worrying and stressing about things will only make things worst for yourself. So just take a deep breath in and exhale. Try to remain calm.  

 Take all of the precautionary measures needed to keep you and your family safe during this time. Staying at home right now and taking the time to REALLY enjoy your family is the best thing to do. In the beginning, I found myself really freaking out about things. Especially the first few weeks. But after really praying about things, the situation got a lot easier for me.  

 There are several things that you can do to keep your mind off things during this time. Turning off the news is a MUST. Watching and hearing about everything will only cause more anxiety. Try picking up a new hobby. Just because home is now our safe space, you are still able to enjoy being outside. Take a walk or have a picnic in a secluded park. There's plenty of things to enjoy outside.

 For me this pandemic has really brought my family and I closer. It's taught me to slow down and really enjoy the things in life that are truly important to me. 

 To take our mind off things, I've starting scheduling things for the family and I to do together at home. We've developed family game night,  and also started working out together.  I've also picked up a new hobby of gardening. It's so therapeutic guys!!! I love it. My kids are more hands on in the kitchen. They help prepare dinner almost every night, and my daughter and I have started baking more. We both get on pinterest and find a new recipe to try twice a week. The latest recipe was homemade banana bread. It was soooo delish. Creating the memories thru it all is priceless. 

 Recently the ladies in my family got together to have our first women of giving tea party. We all wanted to get together to keep our minds off what was going on around us. It really turned out nice, and the food was so delish. It was so nice to share a few laughs over tea. And as gifts, we all brought a nice house plant to exchange with another as a gift of thanks for being you. 

 What are you doing to remain calm during the pandemic?

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! ...

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...
