Wear it, Style it, Repeat: Superwoman

Hi loves,

 

On the journey of self-growth, I find reflecting and being 100% real with myself in order to mature to the next level. The more we lie to ourselves, the more we become stuck in that place.

 

Recently, I've put my super powers to rest in order to readjust them. At one point I did so much for EVERYONE else to the point that I didn't have enough energy to take care of myself. I would clean, take this person here, do this, do that, drive 1-2 hours to work, do homework, help others with homework, and then repeat the cycle of no sleep. I wasn't able to take care of me! I was late to work, gained weight, went broke, kept my room C R A Z Y, the list goes on! Superwoman can't properly use her powers if she isn't in good standings herself!

 

The only peace I found came from taking mini vacations. On my last flight, I traveled alone which allowed me to really pay attention with no distractions. After boarding the flight, I heard the flight attendants begin discussing emergency procedures for anyone traveling with a lap child. She said, "if you have a child on your lap, remember to put the oxygen on yourself, THEN the child." A little light went off in my head "ahhhhhhhhhh, makes sense! A lap child won't be able to save two people, while the adult can!" Like the adult, I felt like the only way I could utilize those superpowers to the fullest potential was to take care of ME first, then others!

 

To me, superwoman is constantly evolving, to be the best she can be for herself and others. She knows who she is and the things she's capable of. She makes mistakes, but she learns from them, as they are part of her growth. She thinks like a queen, never afraid to fail. Failure is just a steppingstone to her greatness.

Hello Chapter 24: Orange and Blue

Hi loves,

Although I only turned 24 (nothing special about that number), this birthday is truly one of the best birthdays I've had since a child. This is the first one that I can honestly say that I have love and peace. I will be the first to admit that I got lost looking for it in sooooo many places. I did get it from two places, God and myself. When we stop seeking validation from people who haven't found the very things that  we are searching for ourselves, we find what we are looking for from within.

I never thought it would take me 24 years, but it did. Life has thrown many things my way. I overcame every struggle, much wiser and stronger than before. I'm not perfect, but I love and believe in me. I'm ready for whatever comes my way. I can finally say that I found myself and still growing and it feels great! It's never impossible to prevail, even after a struggle. The things I once cried about, I sit and laugh about now. Thank God for growth! You can't stop me now, the sky is the limit! ❤️

Happy birthday to me! :)

Cotton Candy

Happy Sunday!

 

Most people never think of combining pink and blue. We are brought up to believe that pink is for girls and blue is for boys!

 

But there's one time that whether you were boy or girl, you LOVED pink and blue. When I think of pink and blue, I think of cotton candy.

 

As a child I always loved to get pink or blue, but if they allowed me to get a combination of the two, it took me to the closest place to heaven!  

 

 

 I wore a pink top and blue skirt. The light color shoes reminded me of the white stick that cotton candy usually came on.



To bring all the colors together, I added a floral clutch!

 

What I Wore:

Top- TJ Maxx

Skirt- Bebe

Shoes- Zara

Clutch- Aldo

Necklace-F21

Watch-Michael Khors

Just in Case- Gray X Plaid

Hello ladies,

I'm usually having such a hard time separating the work life from home life. I often times find myself dragging my work laptops home (just in case) on a Friday night.

If it's after 5pm, it can wait until the next business day. Sometimes we just need to let it go although we are so use to having control. That work life controls me so much that I'm usually sleep before my gram on a Friday night!

Last Friday, I put that separation anxiety to rest! I called everyone that usually calls me to hang out, but to no avail no one was available :( I decided to throw on something quick (just in case)!

My quick go-to styles lately have been midi dresses. I found one of my favorites at Target!

Took me 15 mins to brush my hair, dress up this dress and find cute shoes! 

The cute shoes were a must since we all know good shoes take us great places! 

And 5 mins later, someone was down to go out. Turns out, those Just in Case outfits come in handy!

Neutrals

Happy Friday! 

If you're anything like me, you race to the washer to wash your favorite clothing item! This olive skirt is actually a dress, happens to be one of my current favorites.

I find a way to wear this dress very often. This time, I added my favorite gray crop top over the dress to switch up the dress that I wear often. It's just something about gray with olive that I absolutely love!

To add the finishing touches, I also incorporated another neutral color. I made sure that the camel color was found in all my accessories including my necklace, my clutch and the heels.

Hope you like!

Xoxo,

Honeyy <3
