3 Biggest Struggles & how I manage.

3 Biggest Struggles & how I manage.

We have all learned long ago that everything isn’t all puppies and butterflies. That type of thinking sucks but I understand that every day isn’t going to always be your greatest and it is ok. We aren’t going to be great at everything all the time and we won’t win them all.

Either way as you get older and your priorities shift you adjust.

BUT no matter what, we will thrive in one thing and not…

Keto: If you haven’t tried Thinslim Foods, you should.

Keto: If you haven’t tried Thinslim Foods, you should.

Ever since I switched to a keto lifestyle over a year ago it has been a constant discovery of food substitutes, great recipes and just a barrage of new things to try.

Which is why I was so happy when I happened across Thinslim on instagram. It was love at first sight.

via GIPHY.

I’ve been using fathead as my buns but I was over the cheesy taste with everything I ate. Also, I just…

How to avoid online distractions and focus on work.

How to avoid online distractions and focus on work.

We are constantly surrounded by distractions. It is easy to people watch, aimless scroll on your phone & open so many tabs on your browser that you get caught up in everything else but what you intended to do in the first place.

It is so easy to fall into this trap of the endless cycle of searching for meaningless distractions when you really don’t want to do whatever task you must do. Ever…

Beauty of Life...in case you forgot.

Beauty of Life…in case you forgot.

Ever had a day, week or month where it seemed like a dark cloud just followed you everywhere? I know many of us had one or more of those days. I feel like sometimes in those days we forget that life is beautiful.

Even on my bad days the sight of children brings a smirk when they are rambling their thoughts or when you see someone singing or dancing like they aren’t people around. Moments like…

Favorite trends out of the fashion week

The disappointment that I have for not attending any note worthy shows this year makes me want to cry fashion tears. But such is work and adulting.

However, I spent moments checking my IG feeds, the fashion sites and blogs for all the new trends for next year and I live & love for them.

But, before I start let’s shout out Zendaya X Tommy Hilfiger for that…

What is your Dream?

What is your Dream? Dreams, and not the lucid ones you remember at night. Not the ones that have a tendency to slip away from you if you aren't careful and think on them too hard.

Dreams, and not the lucid ones you remember at night. Not the ones that have a tendency to slip away from you if you aren’t careful and think on them too hard. The ones that are sometimes harder to attain and require a little more work.

I feel like we are all dreamers. What is your dream? is the same age old question. It is to keep us from being stagnant or complacent. It keeps us constantly…

BlogHer Creators Summit 2019

BlogHer Creators Summit 2019

As a blogger I am constantly finding ways to engage with other bloggers and constantly learn. I missed out last year because of so many factors but made it a priority to attend. I did not know what to expect but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I learned a great deal of gems from speakers & even more from the sessions I attended: SEO, Adobe Rush and Email Marketing were truly informative and useful.

What to do if your stuck!

What to do if your stuck!

It’s amazing when you are in your high creation bubble but the time when you aren’t quite getting a spark is tough. Sometimes just trying to do it doesn’t always bring the same results you intended. Which can be either good or bad. Deadlines sometimes become the enemy since you’re actually forced to get her done. But, you musn’t let crunch time crumble your quality.

With deadlines and creative…

5 Can’t Live Without Beauty Products

These 5 products are items that I use religiously and I am happy that I found them. They’ve truly become a part of my routine because they solved a problem where other products I tried did not. Honestly I have a ton of products I use that are in my rotation but these are the handful that I use daily.

Health: Morning Health Supplement Routine

Health: Morning Health Supplement Routine

I know most of us at some point had our parents say make sure you take your vitamins, eat your fruits & veggies and drink your water as adults. They know sometimes we’ll not look after our health the way we’re supposed to when as we get older.

For the last 3-4 years just drinking water was the easiest for me, well that & the occasionally mimosa or shot of tequila. 🙂 Remembering to take vitamins…

The Journey with Multiple Paths

The Journey with Multiple Paths

People sometimes see changing course as a sign of instability or that you do not know what to do but in other cases it can set you on a better path.

I have found that the art of the pivot has put me on a path that I never thought I’d be on. However, when I look at the paths I’ve taken since I graduated college it has not always been the ones I expected to be on.

I graduate with a degree in…
