Floral Dress with Bumblebee Yellow

Dress // Heels // Bag

Hello beautiful! For the month of May, I am going to be doing a 31 day spending hiatus or fast from spending. So, that means no more purchasing new shoes, clothes, makeup, jewelry, handbags, or sugary-drinks for 31 days. I did a 31 day spending hiatus back in January and afterwards it felt so rejuvenating to not spend my money on "things". I'll be doing this spending hiatus again because I have so many items in my closet that are not being used. I'm cutting out sugary- drinks as well because I really over did it this month with buying sugary-drinks. It got to the point where I was craving sugary-drinks almost everyday. During my fast from spending, I'm hoping to accomplish a few goals that I set back in December.

Today's bible verse comes from Luke 12:15, "Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”

Stay blessed,

The Wife Between Us- Book Review 2

The Wife Between Us, By Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen

I was initially skeptical about reading this novel because of the obvious connotation that comes with the title. I'm glad I pushed past that initial reaction because this is one of the most uniquely written novels I've ever read. I don't even know how to persuade you to read this book without giving away too much from the novel. Overall, the novel is about a woman, an ex-husband, and a fiance. There were so many twist and turns in this novel that I couldn't put this one down, and it was so far from being dull that I was able to finish it in four days.

*Today's bible verse comes from Psalm 139:13-15, " For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth."

Happy Easter 2019

Dress // Heels // Bag

Happy Easter or like my pastor says, "Happy Resurrection Day!" I woke up this morning with such a sense of peace in my heart that I knew only Jesus Christ could provide. I felt so "born again" and "brand new" in knowing that Christ died for me. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most prolific occurrence in the Christian doctrine, and it is why I as Christian have faith. I hope you celebrate today and everyday in knowing that Jesus Christ loved you so much that He died for you! 

Today's bible verse comes from John 11:25-27, " Jesus said to (Martha), "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?" "Yes, Lord," she replied, "I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world."

Stay blessed,

Red Romper

 Romper // Bag // Keds

Hello beauties! These past weeks have been one for the books. Last weekend, I flew down to Tampa, Florida to visit my sweet cousin and her husband. We went to Clearwater Beach, spent time in Tampa, and had dinner one night in St. Petesburg. During my mini- vacation, I was able to knock out two novels. One of my new year resolutions was to start back reading more novels. Back in the day, I remember knocking out three to four novels novels in a month, but now that I'm so much more busier it's a lot harder to get through one book. Since January, I've been able to read four great novels that I was able to really enjoy. Since this is my spring break and I have some extra time, I plan to publish some book reviews on the novels I've read and the novels I plan to read. Let me know your thoughts!:)

Today's bible verse comes from Colossians 3:23, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men".

Stay blessed,

Where the Crawdads Sing- Book Review 1

Hello beauties! I did a couple of book reviews in the past, so I figured I would start doing them again. My goal is to do a book review every week, if time permits. 

Where The Crawdads Sing, By Delia Owens

"Where The Crawdads Sing" is about a girl named Kya Clark (Marsh Girl) who becomes a suspect for a murder. This is the type of book that will have you falling deeper in love with nature to the point where you can actually feel yourself sitting by the marsh and soaking in the salty air. I have to admit that it took me awhile to actually get into this novel because it has a mix of a murder mystery, coming-of-age story, and the profound beauty of nature (which was my favorite). I'm so glad I gave this novel a chance and finished it to the end because before I closed the novel I was left speechless. The ending will have you completely in awe at how well the author meticulously wrote every detail of the story to lead to the ending.

Lime and Fushia

Dress // Heels

Hello gorgeous! I have been obsessed with lime green and fushia paired together lately, but I didn't want to look like a teenybopper. I decided the best way to pair these two colors together would be with my lime green wrap dress and my fushia heels. This look is definitely mature, but at the same time it's playful, girlie, and chic.

Stay blessed,
