  Happy Spring, Dolls! 🌷 Each year, I reflect on what I want for the year. This year, I turned another decade older, so I did a lot of reflection on what I want I no longer want to carry into this new decade of my life.  One of the things that I desire for myself the most is peace. It is my hope that peace will not just be limited to being my word for 2024, my desire is for it to become a core attribute to my inner well-being.  I want: ⁣ ⁣ more peace with myself⁣ ⁣ to do more of what brings more peace⁣ ⁣ to pause anything that disturbs my peace ⁣ ⁣ ⚡️ Peace is my word for 2024. If you’ve chosen a word or phrase for this year, please share.

  Hi Dolls,  Like most people, I like to save money when I can; especially when it comes to clothing. I always want to go with the option that makes my money go farther, which is why I love bargain stores. One of my favorite bargain stores is Roses Discount Store because you can find all kinds of things for your home, furniture, snacks, and even clothing. I've been wearing their clothing for years; they have affordable, trendy clothing for all occasions, even date night!  Whether you’re taking yourself on a solo date (the only dates I’ve been going on) or you’re going out on a date night with bae, a jumpsuit is a stylish and comfortable option. They’re figure flattering, easy to style, and versatile. I have a total of four jumpsuits from Roses, ranging from casual to dressy and I love them all.  If you’re looking for an affordable date night look, Roses Discount Store  is worth checking out. My jumpsuit and heels totaled under $25, proving that you can slay for less  without break

Hi Dolls, As you may already know, I love a nice glass of wine and discovering different wines. I joined a wine club last year and it's one of the best decisions I've made. It's really helped me to expand my wine palate while enlightening me on how wines are made. Even though, I'm apart of a wine club, I still like to partake of other wines. I was happy to find out that Death Row Records Wine released another drop of their limited edition wine duo, California Sparkling and Death Row Records red wine. I'll admit that I was equally shocked and impressed that Death Row Records now has wine. I think that both wines taste good and will bring satisfaction to the most seasoned wine palate. They pair well with 90’s hip hop music,   and they’ll be a great addition to your next get together. ️Interested in purchasing? Click HERE . Remember, it's here for a good time, not a long time. I'll warn you that the red wine has sold out once before, so if you want it, get it

  Hi Dolls, It’s that time of the year when I schedule my annual flu shot. As part of my ongoing well-being journey, I’ve been consistently getting my flu shot annually. Here’s why: I want to stay healthy so that I don’t miss out any important events in my loved ones lives, like getting dressed up and going out to different events with my mom (pictured). The older I get, the longer it takes me to recover from being sick. My last cold lasted for  two weeks.     I don’t want to risk getting sick again this season. Getting a flu shot is the best way to protect myself and my loved ones from the flu because it can help lessen the severity of flu symptoms if I do get sick. The Facts: Did you know you can still spread the flu even if you don't have symptoms? Getting a flu shot helps protect your loved ones from getting sick, especially those most vulnerable like young kids and older ones.  If you’re considering getting a flu shot, get it as soon as you can. It takes about 2 weeks after yo

  I'm a serious planner, and I rarely do anything last minute or unplanned. Last month, I took a last minute trip to see a friend in Illinois. Believe it or not, that trip was a milestone for me because I always plan my trips down to the last detail. I had so much anxiety about it. I kept thinking about how much money the flight was since I booked last minute, (I kept saying "I pay bill money with this") and how much I was going to have to spend there. Plus, I got sick a few days leading up to it, I just felt like all of these reasons were enough to cancel the trip. I went back and forth in my head about it, and finally, I remembered that traveling (for me) is a form of self care. I also remembered that life is really what you make it. So, I decided to be spontaneous for once and I went. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this trip!  Everything that I was anxious about didn't happen. I truly enjoyed spending time with my friend (which I knew I would). She lives i

  Hey Dolls! I hope the last few months of 2023 is treating you well! I've been good. I've been trying to maintain and have fun in between my work-life demands. If there's a fun event happening and my pockets can afford it, I'm going! I attended a Styles Brunch last month. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The Styles Brunch is a luxury plus size fashion brunch. It was held in Baltimore, MD this year.   I attended to meet Atarah (the dynamite hostess), network, eat well, and celebrate style in a luxury setting. My experience exceeded all of my expectations!  From the welcome mimosa, to learning from the elite panel, I felt celebrated, empowered and inspired.  The vibe that I felt from this entire experience was "go where you are celebrated, not tolerated."  It was a joy to be surrounded by beautiful, likeminded women who came together to celebrate one another, style, confidence and positivity! I left this event with so much more than I anticipated. I can’t thank
