Hello August

Image
Hey Loves, With the start of the new month I hope it brings whatever you have been looking for. I'm a little bummed that it's August already! The time, summer, and this year has truly flown by. But, I am excited what a new month brings and so far it brings me a vacation! Our travels takes us to Georgia for a family reunion and a little R&R. I went to yoga yesterday and I made sure I did because I missed last week and I wasn’t able to make it the last 2 Saturdays. And knowing that we will be on vacation I will miss another week! Any who I went yesterday and it was everything I needed. I was even more excited that I actually did the crow pose yesterday! I was in the position then realized I was doing it then I fell. I tried it two more times in the yoga session and couldn’t hold and maintain the position. I was more excited with the fact that I did it which let me know I am capable of doing it again. So, yoga has been in the back of mind all the time since yesterday. I...

Beauty Files Beauty Edition: My First Sew in

Image
I did my sew in for the first time. I can not tell you how excited and beyond proud of myself for doing it. I was a little intimidated by doing it at first and was giving myself unnecessary anxiety about doing the whole thing. Part of it was because we were going on a birthday vacation for my sons birthday and I knew that there was going to be pictures of this experience.  So, I had a deadline to me well an imaginary one in my head. I was getting my nails done on Sunday and I wanted it to be completed the day before. Any time I try something new I usually have my nails super short or wear my natural nails so that they are not in the way of learning something new. The plan was to wash my weave on Friday, wash my natural hair on Saturday, braid and sew on Saturday. Well, it didn't work out as planned. I started washing my hair on Friday didn't complete the process until Saturday. Had my hair braided on Sunday and I sewn it in on Tuesday.  I had a conversation with m...

Bikinis, Stretch Marks, and Baby Gut

As I prepare for vacation, I am trying to figure out what the heck I'm going to wear. You would think it would be simple for warm weather. It would be if we stayed in a warm climate where you can find swim suits and shorts all year around not a 2 to 4 season (if you stay in Michigan you understand that season thing). Plus, on top of that I just had a baby and I really need to figure out what I can actually fit! I went an pulled some stuff today and maybe I'll try it on tomorrow if there is time. It is official that we leave in a week and that I an underwire. But, I'm not worried as much as I thought I would be. While most women are trying to cover up due to the fact that some of your stuff still isn't back to where it was prior to your little ones arrival. I am proud of myself for this simple fact I'm not covering up shit! Why cause it's vacation!?!?! My body has never truly been where I wanted it to be. It's always been a work in process and when I got cl...
