1 Peter 3:4
I can’t believe I did it! I completed a blog post every single weekday this month. I’ve honestly been in complete awe in all that God has done with this platform over the past couple of years. During this consistency challenge, I’ve learned a couple of major lessons.
Read moreIt’s no secret that I love makeup. But as a woman of color (WOC), it didn’t take long for me to discover that there are problems in the beauty industry. Certain problems that at times frustrate me because I may walk into a beauty store and scour the internet and not find the solution I’m looking for. Simple solutions that are targeted towards women of other shades but not targeted towards WOC.
Read moreConsistency is key. If you’re a blogger or know anything about blogging you know this is what everyone preaches when speaking of success. While this is 100% true, I’ve learned that not enough people talk about being “absent”. I love blogging because it gives me an opportunity to share my story and connect with so many other like-minded women! But as an introvert, that constant pouring is absolutely draining. It’s draining to the point I easily get burned out and I never reach my true goal of consistency. I’ve been blogging every day this month but I’m slowly finding myself reaching that point of exhaustion. Especially when it comes to Instagram. So this past weekend, I deleted social media off of my phone in order to take a social media detox. More importantly, I listened to my body and decided to not feel guilty for taking a social media detox!
While I was on a social media detox this past weekend 3 big things happened!

Social distancing has been really hard for me and Raelynn considering we are used to using our Disney World passes every other week. Trips to Target and walks around the neighborhood just hasn’t been cutting it! So I did some research and stumbled across Wild Florida: Drive-Thru Safari! Raelynn loves animals and I love exploring different Orlando gems so we planned a trip to check them out!

Happy Friday! 🙂 Today, I wanted to share with you another Makeup Basics post but this time I’m talking all about eye makeup!

Postpartum depression is real. I know because it’s a journey I walked through for a while after I had Raelynn. It is a burden I carried until I sought Him for the wisdom, tools, and resources to overcome it all. If you’re reading this and this is your struggle as well, my prayer is that you realize that you’re not alone. You will get through this. We serve a God that is able to do abundantly more than we can ever ask for and think. He knows your needs and sees your heart. Never forget that, tie that reminder around your heart if you have to. He is near. And as you meditate on these bible verses I meditated on when I was battling postpartum depression, my prayer is that you see all that He’s trying to speak to you in this season (and remember it’s just a season and seasons are temporary!).

I’ve been so happy lately. Sure I have my bad days, but I’ve been feeling so great emotionally and physically. This year I’ve been extremely intentional in dressing myself so that I feel good. After I had Raelynn, I spent so much time wearing a mix of pregnancy clothes and oversized t-shirts and couldn’t understand why I no longer loved my body. I knew something had to change. So along with renewing my mind (talked more about this here), I took on these practical steps to begin loving my postpartum body.

We’re still pretty much living a quarantine life in our house. So since Raelynn doesn’t really get many opportunities to be outside the house, we make an effort to beat the heat and play outside. Here are some outdoor summer toys we’ve been loving (or toys I’ve been eyeing) just in case you’re looking to have some outdoor fun soon!
While you’re outside playing with these awesome outdoor summer toys, don’t forget to wear plenty of sunscreen and drink lots of water! If you’re in the market for sunscreen check out my sunscreen favorites post!

It’s no secret that I’m a mama that loves a good makeup look! Makeup is my happy place and it’s been my thing long before I became a mama. I remember the days in college I would spend HOURS watching Youtube tutorials so I could learn how to achieve a flawless makeup look. To this day, learning new foundation tips are my favorite thing to do. Realistically, if your foundation doesn’t look well, everything else will likely look a mess. Like most things in life, you have to start off on a good foot. So I wanted to share with you some makeup foundation tips I love and use that will help you achieve that perfect base.
