It's easy to have the Monday Blues after the weekend, a holiday or vacation. Either way, the return to work is a real struggle! </div><div><br></div><div>Here are a few ways to get over these blues: </div><div><br></div><div>1. Rest the Day Before Your Return - Some people take every second off, as time to enjoy. However, it is best to relax and get your body and mind ready for the return. </div><div><br></div><div>2. Check your emails slowly - Often times we attempt to rush back into catching up into our emails. This is the easiest way to get overwhelmed... slow down! </div><div><br></div><div>3. Get Organized - if you prepare for your day off in an organized way, you will be prepared to return as well. </div><div><br></div><div>4. Set Goals - Goals for the day, week, month, etc</div><div><br></div><div> 5. Breaks - Be sure to pace yourself. Spend time </div><div><br></div><div> 6. Plan a vacation! </div><div><br></div><div>7.

They happen to be a match made in heaven, regardless of the person’s shape. How can anyone resist a comfortable one piece, stylish outfit?? You just can't! I literally buy every jumpsuit I see.</span></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 22px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">On the weekends, I love to go for stylish, comfortable looks, while knocking off new places off of my bucket list! A great jumpsuit and pretty accessories definitely create an effortless look.</span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br></span></p><p class="p1" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><img id="id_8d9d_b5d1_d13a_8232" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Tb6vblf0Sd6yTF5GB9GhBP5fuf9LCu2rbRj0NdDGhG2_4lYSiHCRDXNeQiXK9LN4I44" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 392px; height: auto;"></p><p class="p2" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 22px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br><br></p><p class="p1" style="text-align: center; margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleEmphasizedBody; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">What I Wore:</span><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"> </span></p><p class="p1" style="text-align: center; margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">Jumpsuit, Shoes, Bag - Amazon</span></p><p class="p1" style="text-align: left; margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br></span></p><p class="p1" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><span style="text-align: start;">I love that there are multiple ways of wearing a jumpsuit. I’ve worn this same grey fit a million times, but styled it completely different each time. I totally understand the intimidation of wearing this outfit, especially as a woman who gained weight. One way I’ve made this look fun, yet a little more conservative is by wearing a yellow blazer! You can add layers, any color or form of jacket or blazer</span></span></p><p class="p1" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; text-align: right;"><br></span></p><p class="p1" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; text-align: right;">Another way to make switch up this look is by wearing sandals or sneakers. I’ve worn this same jumpsuit to run errands, in every season - spring, summer, fall and winter! </span></p><p class="p1" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; text-align: right;"><br></span></p><p class="p1" style="text-align: justify; margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; text-align: right;">There are endless ways to create looks starting with this show-stopping piece.

I love everything about them, from their beauty to everything they represent! <div><br></div><div>Many people pay close attention to the butterfly without paying much attention to the process of it becoming that beautiful creature. A butterfly goes through a not so pretty journey. The butterfly starts out as an egg, then it turns into a caterpillar that overloads itself on leaves in preparation for its new life of growing. Next, it pushes it own body, while slitting the skin open. This sheds "the former self" and rebuilds itself as a cocoon. Finally, it stretches new wings as a beautiful butterfly :)</div><div><br></div><div>To me, they represent a journey. Similarly, three years ago, I made the decision to dig deep! I will be the first to tell you that growing is NOT for the weak! It gets really, really ugly. That process is probably the ugliest thing I've gone through (and currently still going through - remember it’s a journey, not a destination!), but that reward on the other side of the ugliness is so rewarding! The reward for me is the beautiful woman I'm becoming. (Physically, mentally, and emotionally)</div><div><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">This showed me that my time as a caterpillar expired! It was time to get my "wings." Since my journey of becoming was soooooo similar, I thought it would be perfect to wear something to remind me of how far I've come with my journey. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div><img id="id_fcc7_2634_5a53_828a" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/WGfJbIwUqVs4DG572mFDOd7VyMvYm3FK3RQYND3kCOxNnmzC_g3MV0JoEgH0LeCzNNE" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 446px; height: auto;"><br><br><div style="text-align: center;">Dress - Amazon | Earrings - TJ Maxx | Shoes Sophia Webster </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><img id="id_f625_c9b1_7c0e_4d1" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/BUahPJTFDn0Ls8dK8UdvS1Uw_tYQvuRddejIW47hZDcxdMfX_DAQorMeI82RvIFBnlk" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 392px; height: auto;"><br><br></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">"How does one become a butterfly?" she asked.

Looking on the surface, 2020 was a horrible, unpredictable year for the majority of us! However, when you take a moment to look back at everything, most of us really came out like a "champion!" I say this because although times were hard, we had no choice but to push through like a champion. </p><p>One of my cousin's favorite Harry Potter quotes is, "What is the definition of a victory? It's a measure of progress, not a celebration of wins." This made me take some time to reflect on my goals from last year and decide how I wanted to intentionally move forward in 2021. I made practical goals that were attainable and measurable. I think it's important to set your goals this way so that you are able to measure progress and celebrate yourself. For example, I cut my hair due to impatience, but a goal I set for myself was to grow healthy hair. Today, my hair is in the best condition that its been in since the beginning of my 20s! I felt like I came out like a champion in the end :)</p><p>So I know you're probably wondering, how can you feel like a champion with the world we are living in? My solution is to focus on SMART goals for yourself. <i>(Make sure you write them down too!)</i></p><p><b><i>S- Specific.</i></b> So maybe you want to set a goal for yourself to grow healthy hair. How are you going to go about this?? For example, maybe you will deep condition weekly or maybe you will do protective styles consistently.</p><p><b><i>M- Measurable.</i></b> This is so important! Sometimes we don't always focus on how far we've come and we aren't able to see our own growth. Be sure you have a way to reward yourself or acknowledge your accomplishment so that you can confidently crush the rest of your goals. Seeing progress is so rewarding! For example, I took picture of my hair at the beginning of my hair cut so that I could see the condition of the before vs after. </p><p><b><i>A- Attainable.</i></b> Make sure your goal is challenging, yet reasonable for you to obtain. Having patience with hair is very challenging to me, but doable. </p><p><b><i>R- Relevant.</i></b> So you've set your goal, but does it align with your other long term goals or other areas of helping you grow?</p><p><b><i>T- Time-Based.</i></b> Lastly, can you reach this goal within a reasonable timeframe?</p><p>What better way to remind yourself than to wear something to support you thinking like a champion. Lately I’ve been choosing comfort over everything for me these days <i>(well outside of work</i>)! </p><p><img id="id_ed86_cb47_18b8_4c80" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/KTA6epRcB1hA_AErSDhOeb7rm75utl5HV7TIULza1Drm40k8nYOeJQbkKgDNnbo" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 392px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_ea34_5bcf_6049_5b09" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/zI8Dovh2yRugDAeMUbBZst3amDJswOTe-wkDF4LL2v2LcRqfCN40GxVMf6YAbO0" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 392px; height: auto;"><br></p><p><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>What I Wore:</u></b></div></p><p style="text-align: center;">Top: Champion | Leggings: Alo Yoga | Shoes: Aldo </p><p><img id="id_e455_92be_2ae6_38d2" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/bcwHd8lnDDOW5twXQ9u1atnMk_UQPG5-d5VcVjsuHtffSIj-9uOoChbmkH6697s" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 392px; height: auto;"><br><br><img id="id_5e66_e115_cf83_b1cd" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/IzwHxATkLzkpemJZlMqr35bhkqAy_jILPWotnfP5nkZeo21j49wSl9TondIfGFM" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 392px; height: auto;"><br></p><p style="text-align: center;"><i>"Everyone falls, only difference is champions get up!" ~ Matshona Dhliwayo </i></p><p>Xoxo, </p><p>Courtney 💕</p><p><br></p>Honeyy Embellishmentshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04962609155763767084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355425611865522904.post-31518894848472710932020-10-04T20:19:00.001-04:002020-10-04T20:19:58.016-04:00Autumn Vibes <p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><font size="4">Happy Sunday! </font></span></p><p><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px;">One of my favorite seasons is fall. Particularly, for the weather! It’s not too hot, not too cold. However, my favorite thing about the season is being able to maximize my wardrobe. I absolutely love this transition period when I’m able to take summer pieces and wear them in the fall by adding layers. </span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Follow these steps below for easy ways this to maximize your summer pieces for the fall: </span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 17px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 17px;">1. <u>Step one</u>: You always want to start with a basic piece. For example, I started with one of my favorite black dresses. This is one of my staple transition pieces.</span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 17px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><img alt="" id="id_8661_1de0_a30a_99fc" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-xgxW1W8xTTNmXZLkkVNL2r1pjr7aU-8QjNen8wuCrlsdgPOCTLnkYDhbkqWrlY" style="height: auto; width: 392px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br /><span style="font-size: 17px;"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s2"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s2">2. <u>Step two</u>: Add additional layers. This layer can be a scarf or jacket. This will give you the flexibility to stay warm or cool off. I added a long cardigan with nice neutral tones. It was kind of cool I’m the morning (high 50s), but wanted up later. I was able to take the cardigan off when it was too hot and add it again later when I got too cold. </span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s2"><br /></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;"><br /></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;"><img alt="" id="id_b55_3da5_e0a1_bff6" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/41MhNq79cBpIgsT3c6bDTUcolvLrwnuL51CPregJRNQ9vrp70C47biYh0zfRuqY" style="height: auto; width: 392px;" title="" tooltip="" /><br /><br /></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 20.3px;"><br /></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s2">3. <u>Step three</u>: To complete the look, accessorize. You can do this by adding statement jewelry pieces, hats, and/or handbags. For my look, I added neutral colored earrings that I picked up from my cousin that sells paparazzi. I enjoy shopping for cute statement earrings. They make any basic outfit pop!

One thing I've noticed is that planning and manifesting your goals is still possible, even during a time such as this. You MUST believe it, pray for it and go make it happen! </p><p>At the beginning of this year, I made a vision board. I always try to keep a list of goals for myself in my note section with a place to check them off. However, being able to see them come to life, creatively was something I truly enjoyed. I love being able to visualize the things I normally just write down. I guess I’m old school, wanting to have everything on paper. </p><p>At some point closer to the end of the year, I love to reevaluate my goals just to see how far I've come, make necessary adjustments, and remind myself that I still have time to accomplish more. This time I decided to make a new vision board since this year was a little different. There were some goals that become more important than others. For example, I originally wanted to focus on working, saving money, etc. However, COVID made me realize that my mental health was far more important than any of those things. My new goals shifted more towards self care and self love. </p><p>Sooooo... I went downtown with a blanket, magazines, a few of my girls & started planning, praying and manifesting! This happened to be way more therapeutic than I thought. The words, phrases & pics that jumped out at me had me dreaming big this day! </p><p>I decided to wear a comfy outfit to be able to fully relax while making this board.

However, I'm a firm believer that once you overcome something, your purpose for that journey is to teach people that are going through that very struggle, how to overcome! </div><div><br /></div><div>One of the things I did to dig deep was to practice more self-care/self-love. A lot of times we are giving so much to our loved ones and others while neglecting ourselves. Self-care is one form of recharging so that one is able to continue giving back to the people around them. I believe there's levels to that recharge. These levels include: physical, emotional, mental and social. </div><div><br /></div><div>At one point, I put all forms of self-care on the back burner when I was going through my struggles. I still remember staying in bed and sleeping in the dark. I never forgot the friend that refused to take "no" for an answer when I wanted stay in the house and do nothing. I consider spending time with friends as one of the greatest forms of self-care now that I'm older since so much of my growth included me isolating. Friendship helped save me from myself! </div><div><br /></div><div>Last weekend, my self-care social level included spending time with the people I love. This is more important than you think. Friendships usually guarantee a celebration for the good times and support through the bad. </div><div><br /></div><div>One of my friends celebrated her birthday and I couldn't miss this opportunity to recharge. </div><div><br /></div><div>See below for outfit details:</div><div> </div><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="821" id="id_e08a_5936_946d_c17e" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/gBouGnbmAG85yCCPBPz9IHcoAlTGuL9BhonKIc1CxDb9aal5ch5KysHhvROQxAk=w490-h821" style="height: auto; width: 392px;" title="" tooltip="" width="490" /></blockquote><div> </div><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" id="id_f634_127b_a74b_9f13" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/zvm57hjTefn7TgTtMKjEl1augyBBhzwqe9uGCA1jjZFiiO35gJtVjSjwOosDBws" style="height: auto; width: 392px;" title="" tooltip="" /></blockquote><br /><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" id="id_c356_6ce4_ab48_3366" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/MKCGCL2pErAi430_YuqOzT4A4ViysARiBjEVw13P-pVl6tzMh8THAY8pW33l_6Y" style="height: auto; width: 392px;" title="" tooltip="" /></blockquote><br /><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" id="id_dd04_a41e_7cc1_6927" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/55mvWzQsRDVWqnT5p2GYWDL9tjZP98OD3nBWJ80dJU1IHZXivuaewJchioPUYTw" style="height: auto; width: 392px;" title="" tooltip="" /></blockquote><br /><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" id="id_deed_351d_e88_9e6d" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/gS6b0fEUvgwJaSDyT2JpEYNTBpAD986Aq-jjCmZ-nTRnvG7-L2C9hPdNml1Vino" style="height: auto; width: 392px;" title="" tooltip="" /></blockquote><br /><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" id="id_fa61_b378_1453_9f45" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/FK6vPj29Jitd6OgXDrt1hJfi28SlDgqlZALDNnWGygy3CZx9ZHtk_exnSFKbLyM" style="height: auto; width: 392px;" title="" tooltip="" /><b><u></u></b></blockquote><div> </div><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><b><u>What I Wore: </u></b></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Top</b> Arden B | <b>Bottoms</b> Target | <b>Scarf</b> Louis Vuitton </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">How do you recharge socially??</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Xoxo, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Courtney</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Honeyy Embellishmentshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04962609155763767084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-355425611865522904.post-7227573938246795162020-07-25T12:51:00.000-04:002020-07-29T17:21:13.010-04:00Pay Attention to the Signs <div class="separator"><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" id="id_b397_e488_4bd6_4e7d" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/ug7iwwhYsjKTJAFRz6EZn9CRAyAExKLXIAjs80LoLglHX3T0KUZ3i-HIRLgVjIw" style="height: auto; width: 392px;" title="" tooltip="" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Dress </b>Macy's | <b>Shoes</b> Jennifer Le | <b>Bag</b> Target </div><br /><br /></div></div>Hey everyone, <div><br /></div><div>"It's always up to you to find beauty in the ugliest days!"

Since I've been back, I reflected a lot on my life's journey. Now I'd like to reflect on my favorite outfits during that journey. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Look #1: Valentine's Day 2019</div>
<div>

For Valentine's Day, I had class. I decided to go for a comfortable red sweater. My family called me on the way home and asked me to join them for karaoke which ended up being a great night! I randomly found these shoes in my trunk and swapped them out for my uggs that I wore to class. Some outfits really just randomly happen! :)<br />

It's no secret that one of my favorite things to do is enjoy time with my family. Fun Fact- I actually became a caregiver to my grandmother 2018-present. I try to have an outing for us when we can to give us a break from all the doctors appointments she has (including dialysis) and school work for me. Family is a mutual happy place for us both. As I always say, if you can look good for your friends, you can look good for your family too! :)<br />

<br />
If you know anything about me, then you know how obsessed with birthdays! I will not leave out for much, but if there's a birthday to be celebrated, especially mine, I'm always down! For this look, I stumbled across it. I actually bought a matching set from boohoo.com and didn't receive the top :( So I tried on this top and feel completely in love! "Everything happens for a reason" was such a true statement for this outfit. If the top came, I probably would've worn it a different way!<br />

I'm my mother's number one fan! I admire everything about her, especially her upcoming clothing brand (Infinity Faith). I love everything her brand represents. It's a reminder that with faith, you can go places! I know it's cheesy and cliche to wear her hoodies/t-shirts when I hang out with her, but I do lol! I had so much fun with this look! I added shorts ($4 on sale!!!!), fishnets & vans for the perfect fall night look. Fun Fact- you get the best bargain for shorts at the end of summer!<br />

I did a thing. This year for me was all about letting go. This outfit definitely showed that! Who cares what others think, wear it if it makes you feel great. Soooooo yup I ordered a swimsuit coverup and wore it as an outfit. The way I felt wearing it is indescribable and a night I will always remember! It was definitely a turning point in my confidence.<br />

<br />
My first post of 2020! Happy New Year!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I know I'm super late, but my absence was necessary in order for me to grow. Normally people (including myself) are screaming, "New year, same me!" But this year, it was different then that. I'm actually different and I'm loving it!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I went on a deep journey to truly healing that required me to isolate from everything and everyone. Although I shed many, MANY tears, some of joy and some for sadness, I grew and developed a better person. </div>
<div>
<br />
I knew I was feeling better when I wanted to go out for the NYE celebration! I even DIY'd my outfit.<br />
<br />
I used: Boa, scissors, an old dress, and a glue gun.<br />
<br />

Below are a some of the lessons I learned on my journey to discovering my best self: </div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>Can't do anything without putting God first! </b></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<div>
My biggest accomplishment over the last year was getting a better relationship with God. Man 2014 was the hardest year I've ever had in life (so I thought!) Then 2018-2019 came and really took things to a whole different level! I did what I wanted to do, when I wanted to do it. Sometimes you have to reevaluate the way you do things. I was doing things without God. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The moment I bought myself a journal, I promised to pray before I did anything! It helped me soooooo much. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You can't even find your keys without God. lol For example, I misplaced my mother's keys and angrily searched for them for over an hour. As soon as I prayed and said "Amen," I immediately found they keys! </div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>You can't help others if you can't help yourself! </b></li>
</ul>
<div>
This is a biggy for me. Lord knows I struggled a very long time with this, but I'm working on it! This year I worked hard with putting myself first. I felt like I was able to do more for others by taking care of me. You have to be selfish to be selfless. If I reach my goals, then I'm able to give back and help other people later in the world.</div>
</div>
<ol>
<li>Know your worth. </li>
<li>BOUNDARIES! BOUNDARIES! BOUNDARIES! Learned to say no or yes when necessary. </li>
</ol>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>Being a victim is the WORST THING EVER! </b></li>
</ul>
<div>
Having a victim mentality is something that can really hold you back! I had this mindset for so long and it was incredibly hard to get over it. I always blamed other people for EVERYTHING. After digging deep I learned about accountability. I started living by this: "When you point your finger at others, there's more pointing back at you!" <br />
<br />
If you are accountable for actions, then you are able to come up with solutions. Without accountability, you are only able to focus on the problem. You will forever be stuck! You'll always be one to focus on the problem, rather than the solution.</div>
</div>
</div>
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Your breaking point is the first point of finding the real you! </b></li>
</ul>
I learned about the importance of reaching your breaking point. The things that were meant to break me, actually lead me to my strength. At some point we all must stop feeling sorry for ourselves and really start loving ourselves. I seriously stayed in the house for days, I cried, started going out for drinks again, welcomed people that had already served their purpose in my life to come back, the list goes on. I started to feel stuck and that this repeated cycle would NEVER end. I eventually hit rock bottom. I couldn't get out of the bed some days, lost all motivation, etc After a few months went by, I realized rock bottom wasn't so bad because it was only up from there! For me, rock bottom was actually my biggest blessing. It's the beginning of me falling in love with myself and my life all over again!<br />
<br />
So now I can proudly say, "New Year, New Me!"<br />
<br />
What are some of the lessons you learned over the last year??<br />

Happy New Year! I started reminiscing about all the things I loved about the fashion in 2018. Normally, the bolder the trends get each year, they are added as accessories. However, last year, fashion didn't just come as an accessory, it came abundantly! Like you had to go bold or go home and let's just say I LOVED every minute of it! </div>

<div>
<b>Trend #1 Snakeskin</b><br />
<br />
It's no secret that animal print is loved by many, especially me! My animal print of choice is usually leopard print. When I saw the snakeskin making a comeback, I was overjoyed! If you're not so risky, pick up a scarf, a bag or shoes. However, if you're feeling bold like me, have fun with a snakeskin skirt, shirt or pants. Below I chose to buy pants because they were fun and fierce!<br />

<b>Trend #2: Bold colors</b></div>
<div>

<div>
The rainbow trend came on pretty huge and it's obvious that it was here to stay! I've always been a huge fan of color blocking any way so I just mixed it with one of the new trends, logos! If you can find an item in a Crayola crayon box color, wear it! Bright colors was another one of my favs! I mean, who doesn't love to stand out in a crowd?? **Let's not all raise our hands at once** <br />

One of my must have items is a striped shirt. Spring screams floral vibes to me so it was only right to pair this top with this floral number!<br />
<br />
I know what you may be thinking....I can't do that! Oh, but you can! There's an art to it. If you pick like colors with the clothing and then keep everything else neutral, you'll be a pro in no time! <br />

<b>Trend #4: Logos</b><br />
<b><br /></b>This was one of my favorites! Wearing a logo t-shirt. You do not have to go broke buying a label. Anybody can buy a label, but you cannot buy style! I've seen more people with faux label t-shirts have way better style than the ones that have the actual label. Although I didn't buy many labels this year, I remixed the crap out of of the ones I had already! <i>(as you can see from my previous outfit above)</i>. My favorite obviously happens to be Balmain (I may or may not have like every color in this t-shirt! lol). This time I went with a cheaper route. I wore my sister's logo shirt for her hair brand, "Carmyn Milani."<br />

<br />
Hope you’re having a great week so far! This time of year is such a lovely time. It's a reminder to look at the good in things. I had a rough time this year, but this time of year lifts my spirits despite the loss I've had. Here’s my top favorite things about this time of year:<br />
<br />
<b>1. No classes!</b> ! This is my number one reason to slay right now! I don’t have to wake up and keep the stress of staying on top of my work. You may not have school anymore, but maybe you have children or young family members that you get to spend a little extra time with, if so, slay with them with fun holiday pics. So ladies, take this break to slay (even if it's your favorite holiday PJs)!<br />
<br />
<b>2. Spending time with family and friends.</b> I had sooooooo much fun spending time with my friends and family that I don't get to see as often as I like. I'm a firm believer in soaking up quality time with the people you love while you still can.<br />
<br />
<b>3. People are much nicer.</b> I went to NY last week and have never met so many friendly people there! This time of year, people have no choice but to be nicer<br />
<br />
<b>4. The beautiful views!</b> I love the lights and decorations that is all over! Fun Fact about me: Sometimes I take the long way home just so that I can see the beautiful lights.<br />
<br />
<b>5. The treats!</b> Who doesn’t like a good excuse to eat cookies or drink eggnog?<br />

<br />
Welcome back! It’s been a minute! Sometimes hiatuses are much needed to get a fresh start.<br />
<br />
Things I've learned while I was away:<br />
<ol>
<li>Put GOD first and you'll never finish LAST! </li>
<li>The things you speak have a HUGE impact on your life! Speak positive, speak life!</li>
<li>Go after the very things that people tell you NOT to do. "That's not smart!", "I wouldn't do that if I were you!", "I wouldn't wear that if I were you!"</li>
<li>We spend our lives asking people what they want to be. I always wanted to be a successful, but now I'm learning it's more important to be happy! Do what makes you happy! </li>
<li>ANYTHING is possible as long as you put your mind to it! </li>
<li>Sometimes people value finances as blessings! The biggest blessings that I've received this year were things that money couldn't buy! </li>
<li>If you fear it, do it! I faced my fears this year and it has been the most confident/rewarding feelings I've EVER felt in LIFE! </li>
<li>I always keep it real! People love you as long as your doing/telling them the things they need to hear. I used to hold back because I didn't want to "hurt" feelings, etc. You'll lose friends, family, etc </li>
<li>Living your life pleasing others and their dreams and aspirations for you will make you MISERABLE. This pushed me to start over this year and I'm ok with that! Doing the things that ultimately make me happy is giving me the best feeling EVER! </li>
<li>Tapping into the REAL you, will make many people UNCOMFORTABLE. you'll lose friends, but thats OKAY! </li>
</ol>
<div>
Wearing this outfit reminded me to walk boldly in these lessons!<br />

<br />
Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend.<br />
<br />
Lately I've been trying this thing; evaluating my life and making necessary changes. This meant my the way I thought changed, my goals changed and the company I kept changed as well. I tried to stay as positive as possible since I used to always focus on the negative things in my life. Being negative takes a toll on you eventually! Change was definitely a hard thing for me to do, but soooooo necessary. The things I used to value no longer served any purpose in my life.<br />
<br />
One of my number one priorities these days is creating memories that will last a lifetime. My grandmother is one of the 3/9 siblings that are still living. I value spending time with them so much that it's become basically a full-time job for me while going to school. I cherish these moments so much as they grow older, that I make sure that we have some sort of family outing at least once a month. Our favorite thing to do together is attend church or go to brunch.<br />
<br />
This Sunday we made reservations to one of our favorite places. Our reservations are usually for 8:30am and we don't leave until 2:30pm! We don't usually eat the entire time, but we enjoy the memories that we are making with multiple generations. No amount of money is worth these memories that we create with the people we don't want to forget.<br />
<br />
I figured if I can look good when I go out with my friends, I can make sure that I arrive fashionable with my family as well. Sunday I chose a cute sweater and leopard print heels, <i>simplicity for me</i>!<br />

<br />
Hope you are having a great start to your week! Some are dreading this week as they prepare for Valentine's Day, especially if you are a procrastinator. However, if you're anything like me you LOVE it! No matter how you celebrate it, you should always make sure you are celebrating in style!<br />
<br />
Decisions, decisions...Do I want to go for red hot, pretty in pink or flirty floral???<br />
<br />
Here's a few inspirations for anyone still trying to find something last minute.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Look #1</i>: <u>Pretty in Pink</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
For the girly, girl who wants to celebrate in pink, but also wants to keep it simple, any shade of pink in a top is perfect with a pair of black pants!<br />

For the girl who doesn't always go with the "norm," wear your wine! Who said the shade has to be a bold red or a vibrant pink? Normal is boring anyway! Some say the more wine you have, the better your night will be. So why not wear more wine?! I'm one of the "go hard or go home" girls so I would wear this color as a monochrome look: more wine, please! Just add neutrals to complete the look.<br />

<br />
If you're one to enjoy mixing highs with lows or shopping for closet statement pieces, then you can certainly appreciate Tammy Rivera's style. Most people think you have to spend money to look good. That's NOT the case at all. Tammy Rivera's style is a friendly reminder that "it's not what you wear, but how you wear it! Own whatever you wear!"<br />

<br />
Happy New Year! <br />
<br />
Have you ever been in a mood where you picked your lipstick shade before deciding what to wear?? This is totally opposite for me! I'm usually the girl who goes for shoes first before picking any look. Today I went straight for my red lipstick before anything!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The first step to wearing red lips is choosing the correct shade. It will definitely take trial and error, but please don't come out your house looking like you belong in the circus. There are plenty of cosmetic counters willing to assist you with finding the right shade for you! Ladies, I also cannot stress how important it is to keep a mirror with you while wearing red lips. Please don't be the girl with red lipstick on her teeth while showing all 32!<br />
<br />
When in doubt, wear black and white with it! Since red lips are classy, bold and sophisticated, it's only right that you go for a yin and yang look; two opposing forces that are complementary. I'm seriously obsessed with red lips, a black and white outfit and silver accessories.<br />

<div>
Does anyone love animal print as much as me?! I think NOT! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm super obsessed with animal print, especially leopard. It's one of those things that will NEVER go out of style for me!<br />
<br />
Sometimes we have to take our minds where they wild things are to dig a little deeper. I took myself to the jungle with this leopard print shirt that I wore for Thanksgiving.<br />
<br />
Wearing this print is a reminder for me to stop looking at my spots as a weakness and use them as my strength. It's also a reminder to fight for everything I want out of life. It's rare that you will find a starving leopard because they put their fear to the side and fight for the food that they want.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Inside of all of us is hope, fear and adventure; Inside of all of us is a wild thing."</div>

<br />
Hope you are having a nice week so far.<br />
<br />
This outfit happened to be one of my favorites from last weekend. I actually got out for once and enjoyed myself (THREE NIGHTS IN A ROW)! This is rare for me since I'm such a homebody.<br />
<br />
I went for a simple, sexy look and as always I started with the shoes. These silver booties were a MUST for me! There's something about a pop shoe that I <i>CANNOT</i> resist.<br />
<br />
Wearing silver always reminds me of "silver linings." Sometimes it's hard to see the good in situations that seem dark. I try my best to always remember that there's a lesson in everything we go through to stay positive in hard times. Try your best to look for the good in the bad.<br />
<br />
Remember, "Every cloud has a silver lining."<br />

<br />
It's been SO long since I've blogged! Sometimes you have to reboot and adjust your goals. Your 20's are definitely a learning/growing experience. I've just been enjoying the ride.<br />
<br />
However, I'm back and focused like never before!<br />
<br />
The place that I've enjoyed going lately has been church. On those days, I'm always sure to look my absolute best! Over the weekend I went for the most comfortable look that I could find!<br />
<br />
The shoes were so comfy that I didn't have to bring an extra pair! (<i>Rare occasion for me</i>).<br />
<br />
Let's not even get into how obsessed I've been with this sweater!!! I need a moment of silence for this sweater....This sweater is honestly the reason why I got my groove back as far as posting blogs again. OMG when I saw it, I COULD NOT leave the mall without it.<br />
<br />
Since the sweater was kind of big, I opted for a curve-hugging skirt.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Your 20's are your 'selfish' years. It's a decade to immerse yourself in every single thing possible. Be selfish with your time, and all the aspects of you. Tinker, travel, explore, love a lot, love a little, and never touch the ground." </div>

Hi loves,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I hope you all love all things sparkly as much as I do! I mean really, who can resist a sparkly sequin skirt??? I'm especially obsessed because it can be worn so versatile and cheap (only $20)! I used to think of sequins or sparkly things only for a holiday party or fancy event.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I've had this skirt for over a year, but couldn't fit it at all when I first ordered it. I decided to try it on when I had less than an hour to get ready for dinner reservations and I literally died! There was no way that I could resist the skirt! I didn't have a great shirt to wear it with so I paired it with a grey t-shirt that I tied up to give a casual look. </div>

<br />
Are you tired of destroying your room when you have to go to an event? Are you looking for something to wear to go perfect with your curves, while maintaining sophistication? The solution to your problem is a Little Black Dress aka LBD! I believe that every girl should own at least one.<br />
<br />
I know you're probably thinking, "No way, it's too simple. It's too boring. I don't like black," but I promise adding accessories or playing with your make up will add the finishing touches to this classic look.<br />
<br />
Owning an LBD is problem solving. It took me 20 minutes to do my hair, makeup and find an outfit when I grabbed my LBD! Normally takes me over an hour <i>(or three)</i>. I'm usually destroying my room trying to find the perfect outfit and accessories to match. However, you can't go wrong pairing most accessories with your LBD which reduces your time for getting ready. Not only are they a timeless fashion staple, but they have so much versatility! <br />
<br />
It also gave me the perfect shape! All my life I've been pear-shaped which means that sometimes I need a forgiving outfit. Since black is naturally slimming, I find that my curves look absolutely amazing. It's just something about simplicity meeting curves, a match made in heaven for sure!<br />
