"It doesn't matter what you do or how you do it, as long as you take some time to do something that is 100% for YOU" - Rosa Barney So far this year I have been splitting my time between California and New York. Caring for my aging parents in New York as my mother recovers from open heart surgery [...]
Today is my birthday, and for a while now I have been in my feelings about it. For as long as I can remember I've been a victim of "The Checklist" mentality. By 25 I should have done this. By 30 I should have had that. By 35 I should have accomplished this. By 40 [...]
I usually start my blog post with a quote from an article I’ve read, or person that inspires me. This time I pulled out one of my favorite t-shirts by Eloquii, Don't Quit Your Day Dream and paired it with this dreamy blue suit from Asos Curve. The puffed sleeves even remind me of dreamy clouds.

I walked into Target for band-aids and body wash and walked out with two arms full of clothes. A Target Run usually yields shampoo, lotion, soap, and band-aids. From time to time a throw pillow or two, and a few candles. Last week I walked out with a few fabulous outfits and not one bottle of [...]
She bold, bright, beautiful, and unapologetically herself. She’s kind, caring, lovable and honest. She’s never afraid to speak up for herself. When someone calls her “bossy”, she quickly corrects them and says; “Nope, I am a strong leader.” A message she hears every day from her passionate, strong-willed mama. If someone asks her about her [...]
Lately I’ve been struggling with the question, “How can I find my Happy”? Now I'm not encourageing you to find your happy on a rack at Macys, but when I came across this yellow moto jacket started singing "Happy Feelings" (in my Frankie Beverly voice).
