Here we are! It's the end of July. How did we get here? It seems as though we were just bringing in the new year and now we are officially on the other side of 2018. This year is flying sis, but you they say time flies when you're having fun and I've been having the time of my life this year. However, I've never been a victim of Friday the 13th. I'm not a superstitious person, never have been. This month though, I fell victim to bad juju. It's as if I just couldn't get right

My current obsession has been this palette from Makeup Revolution. I know it's the summer but I ALWAYS gravitate to warmer shades when it comes to eyes. It literally looks like Autumn...does anyone else smell pumpkin spice? I purchased this palette from my local Ulta Beauty for a whopping $7🤯🤯🤯 Can you freaking believe that? For the color payoff and size of the shadows, this price point is INSANE!!! I've always been a fan of Makeup Revolution. Their products are very inexp

I started the Currently Binging series in May when I became infatuated with podcasts. I decided to combine everything I've been obsessed with this month into one, it saves us more time, I promise. I've had so much going on recently and I'm just getting a chance to post, my apologies. NWP Podcast on Soundcloud NWP Podcast is a cast of guys from Detroit, Michigan. They touch on topics that are relevant in today's world, with a male's perspective of course. It took me a while t

Imagine... You're 18 years old, fresh out of high school. Your body isn't really that toned, but you're comfortable enough in your body to flaunt it. Two years later, you're a mother. Not really that active. No knowledge of how to diet or eat right. Suddenly, you realize how big your stomach has gotten post partum and you become depressed. Your boyfriend doesn't really let you know that you're beautiful and now you feel undesirable. Your best friend, at the time, tells you th

Since seeing her on the Microsoft commercial, I've been totally obsessed with Courtney Quinn. Her blog, Color Me Courtney, is all about color. She's the inspiration behind my color of the month. I love how color connects us to the world. Whether it be our clothes, makeup, or cars, color can help us express how we truly feel and our personalities. This month, my color is YELLOW. Solar power, sunflowers, Coldplay (kudos to you if you got that reference.) all things YELLOW will

Maybelline has been a staple of my mine since I started experimenting with makeup in high school. I've always loved their eyeshadows and don't even get me talking about mascaras. When I was in cosmetology school, my dream was to be a makeup artist just so I could do Jessica Williams makeup at a shoot. She and Emily Didonato were my favorite Maybelline models. Not only were they beautiful, but they had perfect faces to me. I purchased this foundation because one of my favorite

June flew by quicker than February, but we're officially on the other side of 2018. Congratulations, you've made it! It's crazy to see how fast we've gotten here. JULY!!!! Honestly, I've been living my absolute best life this year so I can understand how we got here. Time really flies when you're having fun. As I type this post, I'm working between scheduling posts for Instagram and this. I ran across a post that said something along the lines of, use the next 6 months to man

June went by faster than February. This entire year, honestly has gone by with the quickness. I used this month to take some much needed personal time. My oldest son, Tre, came home from his father's house in Columbus, Ohio. My off days this month have been dedicated to get reacquainted with him. Let's take a look at what I did this past month...which isn't much. Tre' came home 6.3.18 So for those of you don't know, I am a mother of three boys. My oldest Tre is eleven. Benjam
