World Mental Health Day: Spreading Awareness and Support 💚

  Hi Dolls, World Mental Health Day   was on October 10th. I shared a post about it on Instagram that day, but since this topic is so close to my heart, I want to make sure the message reaches all of my platforms. Mental health matters — every single day. Since the pandemic, I've noticed that my mental bandwidth was beginning to become fragile. I've been working on increasing my resilience and coping skills. I've made a list of things that I like to do when when I have those moments. I've also identified my happy places that help me feel safe.   We all need a place that grounds us.  The ocean is that place for me. It's my calm and my reset.   It’s truly humbling and fills me with awe. There’s something about watching the ocean that brings my problems into perspective  If you’re like me, and you feel overwhelmed at times, please know you’re not alone. Healing takes time. Rest is essential. Talking helps.  Take time for yourself. Check in on yo...

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀

  October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.🎀This is your gentle reminder to schedule your annual mammogram if you're in the recommended age range. Early detection makes all the difference in the outcome. I had my first mammogram recently, and while it might feel daunting, I want to share my experience: mild discomfort, but the technician's kindness made all the difference. 💕Prioritizing your health is a form of self-love. ✨Take care of yourself-your future self will appreciate it.  Did you get #theMammo?

Wanderlust-My trip to Croatia, Europe! (Part I)

  Hello Dolls,  I had the most incredible experience traveling abroad this past summer. For a week and a half, I visited Croatia, and it was truly unforgettable. I had been praying, preparing, sacrificing, and planning for this trip since the end of last year, so the anticipation built up over months. As always, the planning phase felt much longer than the trip itself—time always seems to fly by when you're in the midst of it. This was my first time in Europe, so it was an extra special treat. 🌍 Every time I travel, I learn something new about myself. This trip taught me to simply be and truly live in the moment. What did that look like for me? I stopped obsessing over how many days were left on my trip (which I tend to do) and put away my phone—no more constant pictures or social media posts. Instead, I focused on the experience itself. ✨ During my time there, I had the opportunity to join several tours, and I'd love to share a few highlights from my journey. I don't ...

Cowboy Carter Chic 🤠

Hello Dolls, Summer is here! It's one of my favorite times of the year, because I actually have more of a social life when the weather is warmer. I have been working non-stop and saving up for a special event, so my social activities have been limited this year. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to see Beyonce' though! So many people raved about the Renaissance tour, so I didn't want to miss out on her next tour. Thankfully, I was able to get a ticket from Seat Geek for $107 the week before the concert!  My friends that let me tag along with them, they helped me out so much that night I'm so glad that I did, because I absolutely enjoyed myself. She puts on an amazing show! Her voice sounds the same as it does on the radio. Her visuals, costumes and team of dancers were incredible. Seeing Blue Ivy doing her thing and seeing Rumi just being Rumi put the icing on the cake. I thought I was going to hear her perform songs from the Cowboy Carter album for the entire nigh...

How I doubled my Reading Goal last year!

Hi Dolls, Reading is my favorite hobby. It's the perfect mental escape for me. I was able to double my reading goal last year, from 30 books to 60.  Thanks to Goodreads for keeping score of my reading goal! If you’re looking for reading inspiration, here are a few tips that helped me and may inspire you:  Visit your local library: They have endless reading material and a variety of genres that will pique your interest. This is my shameless plug, because I work at a library.   #librariesrock  Join a Book Club: I joined a book club last year. It’s one of the best reading decisions I’ve made. It has exposed me to reading genres and books I wouldn’t have gravitated to on my own.  Kindle Unlimited: If you don’t mind reading eBooks, Kindle Unlimited has an impressive catalog of reading material. Once you subscribe, they’ll send you suggested reads based on your reading history.  Net Galley:  If you're a book reviewer, blogger or librarian, you can join...
