  Hello Dolls! This is the time of year that I reflect on the current year. Each year teaches me something new. Here are a few lessons that I’ve learned this year. It's not how you start, but how you finish. Give yourself grace, you're doing better than what you think. It's the simple things that bring the most joy. To  me, life is much happier when I celebrate it for what it is, and not what I think it should be. If you like to share, what's your memorable lesson of 2022?

 Every month, I take myself out on a date. I love to have some dedicated time to myself to reflect and regroup without distractions. It's the introvert in me. 😉 My perfect “me-time” outing is movies and pizza. Mod pizza has been my go-to pizza spot because it’s fast and fresh, (I have enough rewards points to prove it ) and you can choose as many toppings you want for one price. In addition to pizza, they have delicious salads that can be customized to your liking. D id you know that in addition to serving great food, Mod pizza gives back to their community by supporting causes such as: mental health awareness, suicide prevention and childhood hunger? ️The next time you’re in a mood for pizza, try Mod pizza. You’re in for a treat! Special shout out to the staff at Mod Pizza Prince Frederick, the staff were amazing and gave exceptional service!!  My normal order from Mod is unsweetened iced tea, a regular Mod pizza with chicken, bacon, pepperoni with plenty of veggies and lo...

  Hi Dolls! I recently took a trip to Atlanta, it was lots of fun and relaxing! Usually when I take trips, I convince myself that I need to buy something new, any new clothing piece. This time, I challenged myself to wear what I already had. I was surprised at everything I found.  I only wore this set from Fashion Nova once to take pictures in it for content. I was surprised that it still had tags on it. 😔I took it with me, it was perfect to wear at Sky Lounge . It's very comfortable, soft, and has great stretch. The knot-twisted back of the top makes a statement on its own. I just added heels and a bag, and I was set. It's a simple, but significant look. 😀 What I'm Wearing: Pant set: Fashion  Nova                  Clear Heels: Fashion Nova               Clutch: Fashion Nova Earrings: Cato Fashions

  It's sweater dress season! I wore them when I was younger, but got away from them. I found this one on Amazon, and I was reminded of why I love them: -They can be dressed up and down.  -They're very versatile; they're perfect for the office with a cardigan or blazer, and they can be worn by itself with heels and a cape for a night out. -They're comfortable and figure flattering.  If you're looking for sweater dress ideas, I've linked this one and others under "Fall Fashion Finds" on my Amazon storefront , and also on my Liketoknow.it shop .  What I'm wearing: Sweater Dress + Earrings: Amazon Fashion Bag: Shein Heels: Fashion Nova What's a staple in your closet?

  Hi Dolls,  I hope you all are well. I'm good, I felt overdue for a social media mental break, so I took one. I feel like it's time for a brief re-introduction, so here goes. 😀 I'm Gab, I currently reside in the DMV area, I also consider ATL my home too. I work as a library professional. I started out as a beauty blogger over ten years ago. A few years ago, I transitioned to being a lifestyle blogger. Some of my passions are style, self care and well-being, which is why I feature them frequently on my platforms. Overall, I'm a big kid at heart and it's the simple things that make me the happiest.  As I get older, I'm learning not to take myself so seriously and to appreciate life for what it is, and not what I think it should be.  I want to thank you all for supporting and reading my content. It means a lot, and it keeps me inspired.  Please drop a few lines about yourself, or let me know where you're from! 

  Yesterday was National Lipstick Day! 💄   Besides mascara and eyeshadow, lipstick is my favorite form of makeup. For me, it's a welcomed pop of color, a mood boost, and it pulls my look together!  ⭐Fun Fact: Women who apply lipstick on a daily basis unintentionally tend to eat about 4 pounds of lipstick in their lifetime, 🤯 shocking?! In honor of National Lipstick Day, here's a selfie of me wearing my current favorite lipstick. It's Casual Rose by Mary Kay ! It's just the perfect amount of color, goes on smooth and it's ultra hydrating.  What's your favorite shade of lipstick?

  Hello Dolls,  The older I get, the more I prefer comfort. I like to keep my summer style comfortable and cool as possible. I do like to get really dressed up at times, but you will probably find me in an easy, flowy dress (like this one) and comfortable slides all summer. Being comfortable doesn't involve just my clothing, I like comfortable footwear too.  ️The Moira Oka-B sandals that I’m wearing are extremely comfortable. They’re a lot of reasons why I love them, but I’ll just list a few.  They’re 100% recyclable, have ample arch and heel support, made with soothing massage beads, (which is great for achy feet, like mine) and they’re slip-resistant. I wore them to an event last weekend, and I was surprised at how comfortable they were. I like the massaging bead feature the most. Usually by the end of the day, my feet are sore, but the massaging beads help to alleviate the soreness.  If you're curious  to find out more? Be sure to visit the Oka-B site,...

  Hi Dolls, #ad As some of you may know, I'm on an overall well-being journey. I'm working on enhancing my mental, physical, and emotional well-being. It's a struggle at times, but I'm learning to stay consistent. One of the things that is consistent in my journey is taking daily supplements. I've just added Goli Calm Bites to my regimen.  The Goli Ashwa is made with KSM-66Ⓡ Ashwagandha to help promote calmness, relaxation and help reduce stress…all the things that I need. Life can be hectic and chaotic, so sometimes I need a supplement to help me keep calm. ⁣ ⁣ The Details: Goli® Calm Bites do NOT contain artificial flavors, added preservatives or colors from artificial sources. The delicious chocolate acai flavor profile perfectly complements Ashwagandha and the other ingredients. The chocolate is really delicious. I was expecting a powdery, gritty taste; but they actually taste good.  Ashwagandha and Reishi Mushrooms are adaptogen...

Hello Dolls! One thing I love about warmer weather and summer approaching is enjoying outdoor activities. I attended a garden party over the weekend! Since I've never been to one before, I didn't know what to expect, but I was in for a treat!  I had such a nice time being surrounded by good company, beautiful weather, and serene ambiance.  We were able to observe a floral arrangement demonstration. The florist that held the demonstration was very accommodating and knowledgeable. She answered all of our questions.  After watching the demo, we made our own arrangement!  All of the supplies such as: flowers, mason jars, aprons, shears, and decorations were provided for us. I added my favorite flower, hydrangeas; as well as roses, carnations and eucalyptus. I wanted to include soft colors in my arrangement, so I did. I like how it came out.   I really enjoyed the experience, it turned out to be fun and relaxing! I didn't know it would be therapeutic, ...
