New Year, Better Me

This post is sponsored by LOFT.  It’s cliche to scream out New Year, New Me. Here’s what’s wrong with the whole “new year, new me” thing. You’re telling yourself that the old you wasn’t good enough. You’re saying to yourself that you’re ready to throw away all your hard work, unlearn the life lessons that you’ve learned and shed memories of times when love was enough. I don’t want a new me. I’m going into 2019 knowing that I’m not perfect, admitting that I have flaws, but you see the beauty in growing older is that every day you get a…

Comfortable Travel Style with LOFT

This post is sponsored by LOFT. #loftlocalstyle #loveloft  Holiday travel can be pretty hectic. I’m always in awe of the people’s travel style. The people who show up at the train and airports immaculately dressed in their six-inch heels always get kudos from me.  Don’t get me wrong, I love a cute pair of shoes and nice little fit, but when traveling I don’t want my fashion to get in the way of me being comfortable. I also don’t like to look too comfortable in just sweats in a hoodie. You never know who you’ll meet or what stops you…

This post was done in partnership with LOFT. #LOVELOFT #LOFTLOCALSTYLE Even though I’d rather not deal with the colder temperatures I can’t help but love it when the weather calls for pulling out my coat, scarves, hats, and sweaters. To me, it’s when you can look your most fashionable because you layer different textures and looks to create your own unique style. Since I’m still trying to maintain somewhat of a minimalist closet I’m always looking for pieces that are versatile and can be styled in many different ways. Sweaters can be bulky and will take up a lot of valuable real…

This Calls for Carbs!- Gift Baskets Made Easy with ACME Markets

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of ACME Markets. The opinions and text are all mines. I think I’ve run out of fingers to count on for how many times I’ve been asked what I’d like for Christmas. The older I get, the less time I try to spend focusing on buying gifts that people will only be excited about for the moment. When it comes to family, I ask them what they need, instead of what they want. Think about it; most people will forgo purchasing something they need because other “needs” get in the…

True Life: I Locing My Hair.

I haven’t combed my hair in 81 days. In a way it’s the most freeing thing I guess you can save I’ve “never” done? You see this past summer I decided I had enough with my hair. I had enough with the washes and deep conditions. I had enough with the detangling, twisting and styling, and I had enough of trying to find the perfect products, and when I did, it was hoping the company wouldn’t change the formula. I decided to reclaim my time. I finally pulled the trigger on locing my hair. I’ve wanted to loc my hair…
