Why I'm Shopping my Closet!

  Hi Dolls,  I've been making a consistent effort in wearing what I have in my closet. I've also decided to reduce my clothing purchases. I use to buy clothes every pay; now, I've decreased to buying clothes every season. I'm due for some spring purchases, but I've decided to not buy anything new until my vacation in the summer.  So far, I'm sticking with my goal. I've rediscovered clothes that  I’ve had for some time and I’ve been restyling them.   Restyling is fun! Plus, it’s saving me some coins in the process, and I love that for me. The dress I'm wearing is one of my restyles, I've had it for years and have worn it before. This time, I decided to switch up the heels and accessories.  What I'm wearing: Dress: Boohoo (old) Platforms: Scoop by Sophia Vergara (Walmart brand) Nails: Impress manicure Be sure to follow my shop thagabulouslyfe on the shop.LTK app to shop this post and get my exclusive app-only content. How often do you buy clothes?

Sunday Funday~ Sip & Paint!

Hi Dolls,  I love a sip and paint experience! I haven't attended one in years, so I was ecstatic to find out that my favorite artist, Pink Lomein , was bringing her sip and paint experience to the DMV area!! I love her work and the positivity that she shares through her art, so I knew -that no matter what- that I was going to this event. 😀 It was really fun! I was able to meet her in person, enjoy good music and refreshments, and of course, paint! I really forgot how therapeutic and relaxing painting can be. It put me in a calm, mindfulness state...which is something that I need desperately. 😐 I've already decided that I want to continue painting, and I have made plans to attend another sip and paint this month. Scroll for the pictures of the experience! 🎨 It was held at Creative Saints Loft in Hyattsville, MD "Makings of a Queen" piece that we painted Her original piece was my inspiration for my painting Have you attended a sip and paint before?

Well-Being: Why I continue to get my Flu Shot ~

  Hi Dolls, As some of you may know, I've been documenting my well-being journey on here for a while, probably over a year now. I’ve been taking small steps to enhance my overall well-being, especially as I approach the next decade of my life.  I’ve added getting an annual flu shot to my well-being check list so that I can continue to stay healthy, do the things that bring me happiness (especially traveling  ) and be around the ones I love. The Facts: You may think, it's too late to get your flu vaccine but it's not. It can help protect you and your community this spring, and you’ll have full protection about two weeks after the vaccine. ️To #getyourflushot, visit Stopflu.org .  #Ad #stopflu

My Word for 2023!

  Hi Dolls,  I hope 2023 is starting off well for you all. I didn't plan on my first post of the year to be in late February, but you know how it goes... life (as good as it is) gets in the way. 😉 If you've been reading my posts for a while, you may know that I choose a new word or affirmation that sets the tone for my year. I really like that it gives me something to reflect on and to work on through out the year.  This year, I was torn between two words, which were consistency and grace. I thought long about it. Then, I started thinking that on my most stressful and busiest days, I ask myself “what do I need most from myself today?” The answer is usually grace. I also thought about how I am with others. I try my best to give others the benefit of the doubt, but sometimes that doesn't always happen. Usually when you're hard on yourself, you're hard on others. I know this because I experience this myself. So, my goal is to let go of being a perfectionist and to not...

Gratitude!

  Hi Dolls! Thank you all for rocking with me for another year! I took several breaks this year, so I’m so thankful for your support. I'm pretty sure that you're reading other blogs as well, so it means a lot that you give mine the time of day. I really appreciate it! More to come in 2023! 😀 Warm Regards, Gab ❤

Lessons I've learned in 2022...

  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?
