July 30, 2021 Today is my birthday! I am now 42 years old! And yessssssss...... I am a Leo Queen !!! You know we Leos are extra. Every year I try to do it big. What can I say??!! I enjoy life and I love celebrating my born day with close family and friends. I'm getting older, and I must say that I'm okay with it. I'm aging gracefully.  In my Aaliyah's voice, "Age ain't nothing but a nu mber."  Society sets these expectations of what we're suppose to feel and have by a certain age. And quite frankly, I think it's a bunch of bull. I feel every bit of 30. I know I'm not where I truly want to be right now, but I know in due time its mine. I'll continue to work hard. I'm on my own schedule. I wont pressure myself to feel like by this day and age, everything should be perfect and in order. There is no time limit on the things that I want to achieve. My life gets better daily. Each day I become older and wiser. I have a roof over my head, foo...

There are many times in life when I just took 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...

Let's talk about my July favorites. I can't believe we are three weeks into July! Like June, this month is flying by. Before you know it, Christmas will be here. I have so many new favorites this month. Below you will find my July favorite things.   First up, My glass   Irish Coffee Mugs. I found these cuties in my local Marshalls. Believe it or not, they were purchased from the clearance aisle. They came in a set of four on sale for like 5 bucks. What a steal right?!! They were just too cute to leave behind. They are good for hosting friends and enjoying your morning brew. I love seeing the layers of my beverages while drinking from them. The Irish mugs are great for coffee, tea, hot cider, and also hot chocolate. When I host my next brunch, I'm defiantly using these to make an impression. A hot toddie and spiced wine will be pretty as well.   Wide Tufted Velvet Swivel Chair in Heather Grey   This is my favorite purchase of the month.  I've ...

  Kyrzayda Rodriquez....My Style Icon Happy Tuesday Tribe!!! Today I want to re-share my most popular blog post since starting Life&Glamour……….. September 15, 2018 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 members 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 ...
