Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month | How to Support a Mother Who Has Experienced a Stillbirth
Last week I received an email. The message, a very kind and thoughtful one, was quite unexpected. I made it through the entire email without crying until I glanced at the bottom and saw an image that read, “October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month.” Until that point, I’d done a pretty good job of avoiding…

Personal Style | Creating a Signature Style
As you know, I’m all about comfort when it comes to clothing. I’ve documented my personal style for years, and the one thing that remains consistent is my need for comfort and functionality. I love to look good and I’m all about being chic and fashion-forward. However, you don’t have to compromise comfort to accomplish those things. So,…

Personal Style | Blue Floral Kimono and Converses
I’ve been on the hunt for a few spring and summer kimonos. During a recent trip to Nordstrom Rack, I found just what I was looking for! Kimonos are one of the most versatile wardrobe staples, and I think every woman should own at least 3; one for casual wear, one that’s a bit fancier, and one…

Travel | Our Trip to Los Angeles
Darrius and I celebrated our 5th year wedding anniversary in Los Angeles, California. Although we’ve both been to California before, we’ve never been as a couple. So, we decided to head to the West Coast for 6 days. While there, we explored the city, visited family, and most importantly, enjoyed one another’s company. The trip was absolutely wonderful, and we’ve decided…

Music | 5 Underrated Female Albums & EP’s
I can’t live without is music. Take away television, social media, even books (just not the Bible). As long as I have access to music, I’m good. Thanks to my Mom, ever since I was younger, music has been a huge part of my life. In middle school, I would rush home to watch 106 & Park, TRL, and…

Lifestyle | 7 Things to Always Keep in Your Gym Bag
If you follow me on Instagram then you know at least 2-3 mornings out of the week, I’m headed out the door for a 5 or 6 AM workout. Waking up extra early is NOT something I particularly look forward to, but the benefits of working out are paying off big time. Before heading out, I…

Auto Review | 2018 Mazda3 Grand Touring
I drive and review a lot of cars. Some I like, some not so much. However, when I’m able to test drive a Mazda I know I won’t be disappointed. So, when this 2018 Mazda3 Grand Touring pulled up outside my house I was thrilled! At first glance, I noticed this “Snowflake White Pearl” 4-door vehicle…

Events | Goodwill Industries of Monocacy Valley’s 2nd Runway Fashion & Awards Show
I may not talk about it much anymore, but thrifting will always have a special place in my heart. Thanks to my late grandfather, I caught the thrifting bug when I was about 10 or 11. I still remember perusing the Goodwill aisles with Fafa (my grandfather) looking for ties and various vintage knick-knacks. As I grew older,…

Personal Style | Tunic Dress and Distressed Denim + Tips on Stretching Your Wardrobe
I’m not sure about you, but I love a good tunic dress over a pair of denim moment. When styled well, there’s just something about the look that screams “CHIC” without trying too hard. With an active lifestyle and a minimal wardrobe, I also find that paring a tunic dress over a pair of denim…
