Target Home Decor: Faux Fur Collection

So what had happened was, I went to Target to occupy myself while my car was getting fixed. I figured I'd pick up a couple of things, and look around. Somehow I wound up getting a bunch of stuff from their new Animal Print Faux Fur Collection. On top of some new Oatmilk Lattes (lactose and dairy-free! My tummy is rejoicing), a deep waver for my hair, and my favorite apple cider vinegar vitamins. The thing about me getting so inspired in Target's home section, is that I'm now sitting here looking at paint swatches. Because with my fabulous new faux fur home dec[...]

The Period Panties That Changed My Life

This could be TMI, but ya girl has heavy periods. Sometimes it takes a tampon and a pad to keep me feeling safe and secure, and even then I might risk a leak. Laying down at night is the worst because I know no matter what I'll wake up to seeing leaks. That was until I finally invested in some period panties, and they have been a game-changer for me. What are period panties? My period panties of choice are by the brand Thinx, and they are basically panties that absorb everything from your period. This way you don't have to wear a pad or tampon, just the per[...]

7 Things that Help me recover from burnout

Over the years, I've struggled a lot with burnout. I'm always on the go, and I'm not someone who likes to take breaks.

More often than not, I will have periods of EXTREME productivity which are followed by a long burnout period. This typically las[...]

3 Audiobooks Every boss Babe Should Read

3 Audiobooks Every Boss Babe Should Listen To

I love to read, but as a woman on the go, I don't always have a lot of time to sit down and curl up with a good book. This is why I love listening to audiobooks because I'm able to listen to the books that I've been wanting to read while doing other things (cleaning, working out at the gym, eating lunch at work, driving home, etc). This also allows me to finish the books faster because I don't have to put them down while I go do other stuff (like workout at the gym, drive, etc). Issa win. My go-to for audiobooks is Audible, and I currently have like 18 titles in[...]

How I stay Organized

I may have the same 24 hours in a day as Beyonce, but I don't have Queen B's team. In fact, I am my team. So in order for me to get it all done, ya girl has to be well organized. In college, I was a triple major (B.S. Biology, B.A Music, B.A Theatre, cum laude), while holding down two jobs so I'm no stranger to juggling. I now work full time in a lab, am working to build my brand as a style influencer/fashion blogger. I'm also planning to get my Master's Degree. In order for me to make it all work, and have some type of work-life balance I have to stay or[...]
