It’s Friday and I’m ready to explore!! Just kidding, I’m going to rest lol! I’m tired y’all! Regardless while resting I plan to get some writing in! I had the recent opportunity to explore Denver, Colorado and while there I got to visit the botanic gardens. There’s also a few other things we have to discuss like edibles and prairie dogs!! On the blog next week! Swipe to see some of my favorite captures! ➡️➡️➡️

Hey guys! I found an amazing skincare brand and I’m sharing. Zuri has had extreme eczema difficulties since birth to the point where she was hospitalized. We’ve of course tried tons of products from crisco grease to steroids. I’m continually on the look out for great products and @productsbylizzie has them!! Seriously!! Zuri can’t even eat spaghetti without an allergic reaction and we’ve had no problems with these products so far! 1. Natural Product selection to include soaps, deodorants, and even chapstick! 2. Reasonably price, less than our current doctor prescribed recommendation (refer back to 1 as its natural). 3. Woman owned! 4. Black owned!! We are hooked!!

What’s new for September? “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:18-19

😅 We are live for the school year! Grandma had her drink at 12! I’m trying to make it until 5 😂! How’s the school year going for you all so far?? ***I’m obsessed with these 4 by the way! ☺️❤️

Don’t forget to smile this week... “According to legends, it is believed that happiness can be found in the buds of a yellow tulip. Many wanted to get this happiness but the yellow tulip bud wouldn’t open. Several people and several methods were done to make the yellow buds open but to no avail. One day, a little boy with a radiant and bright smile approached the yellow tulip bud that magically opened and brought happiness to the people. The little boy’s smile depicted sunshine in his smile; so the yellow tulip responded to him.” 🙅🏽‍♀️🙅🏽‍♀️🙅🏽‍♀️

Happy Birthday Darielle!! Swipe ➡️➡️ to see her walking in the heels!! ********************************************** The first out of my 4 greatest accomplishments. I was concerned about this one for awhile as she went through this weird biting phase around 3 years old lol. Now it’s this weird nail phase, nose piercing, and tattoos😩. I gave in on the nails (Gone by Monday, child can’t even pump gas!) as the nose piercing and tattoos were a NO! 17! ☺️❤️

Super Excited to announce that I have joined @beautifullyshaded as a weekly contributor! Check me out on Fridays! We’re talking about 🗣everything! Thankful for the opportunity and proud to be a Beautiful Brown Girl! 🤎

We are squeezing in our last few days of summer! I’m actually tightly squeezing as this will be our year to have a highschool senior in the house. Yes! I’ll be crying all year long. Sweet gifts like this one are helping me to ensure this little one knows she’ll always be my baby regardless of age. 🥺 1. She has already mentioned taking it to her dorm room! (I’ll be in the box with it hehe!) 2. Quick to customize! Pick your special date and colors and you’re on your way! You can even choose alternative framing options as well as a canvas style. 3. Delivery was very quick, and it arrived securely wrapped/boxed. 4. Reasonable price for a lasting memory! The nighttime sky for MY Skye! ☺️ @thenightskyio

New Blog Post - Self-Happiness/Co-Parenting‼️ I recently had a beautiful dinner. We were seated with a gorgeous view of the river. Drinks were flowing, yummy appetizers were consumed, and life was discussed. To give some background at the table we have a combined 8 children. Yes, I went ahead and committed to half of the children at the table lol and I might have another depending on my next man 😝 lol! We also unfortunately have multiple divorces and custody battle experiences between the group. So of course, we naturally segued to the topic of co-parenting. As we were involved in our rigorous debate it was asked of me how I have been able to compartmentalize and move forward into having a healthy co-parenting relationship? Answer: “I took time to ensure I was happy as an individual.” 1. Finding a purpose/life outside of your role and previous roles in the family. 2. Stop expecting YOU out of other people - Plan and act accordingly to THEIR behavior, not yours. 3. Playing a united front - Fake it until you make it. 4. Stop sharing your hurt-Normalize happiness and peace in your home. 5. Learn - Prepare yourself for better. Head to the blog for more! Feel free to share your co-parenting suggestions as well.

It’s Friday!! Perfect time to discuss Charleston...more about food but the food in Charleston lol! I recently had the opportunity to explore Charleston, SC on my quest to get some adventure outside of the norm. I found it and then I ate it! ☺️ Check out the blog for the deets and pics, there’s a foodie excursion at your finger tips! Link in bio! 1. Hymans Seafood 2. Peace Pie 3. Kaminsky’s Dessert & Cafe 4. Meeting at Market 5. Peninsula Grill 6. Sightsee Shop 7. Uptown Social 8. Sugar Bakeshop 9. The Gin Joint 10. Bourbon & Bubbles 11. Virginia’s on King Weekend plans?? What y’all eating?! 🤤

Books make me happy, however I’m not happy after digesting Mikki Kendall’s most recent art. I’m in pain you all. The book is accurate. I would be foolish to accept a fight that is not fighting for me. I don’t have time to argue about shaving my vaGabby, when I can’t get adequate healthcare for said vaGabby! Seriously, let’s discuss. We have an entire group that are “pro-life” yet I can’t even anticipate I or my child will matter during or after child birth AND I’ve chosen!!! I’ve done what you claim you wanted, what you claim I should do. It’s not enough. What I do is not enough because of the color of my skin. I can’t fight for an equal wage as my male counterpart because I’m not at the table! I am still in need of the BASICS! I didn’t need to read this book as I don’t have the privilege. This book needs to be read by those who have privilege. Those who can use their privilege to combat racism, to reach back, and get us all at the same table. Then and not until then will I have the time to concern myself with the hair on my vaGabby. Heck, I’m still trying to be accepted for the hair I can’t hide. The hair on my head. I’m in pain you all because it’s so true. It’s been true since 1962. “The most disrespected person in America is the black woman. The most unprotected person in America is the black woman. The most neglected person in America is the black woman.” Malcom X More on the blog. Link in bio. ******************************************* Now remember! You all selected #2 so I want discussion below in the comments! We’ll get there! ✊🏾

I will NOT become a plant mom because: 1. I have 4 actual human children that apparently require undivided attention and love. 2. There’s also the two tiny poodles running around. 3. There’s Mom. 4. I forgot the last plant in my office prior quarantine. Horrible death. 5. I can’t be good at everything. This and DJ’ing happen to be those things. 6. I’m not competing with my neighbor who is completely on her way to needing a green house! 7. I do what I want! And the tall one (autumn joy sedum) should be outside...but nope not for me 🥴! 8. I’ve heard they don’t like rock music. Prince is turned up to notch 10 on most days. 9. I don’t know if it’s my age or my schedule but I forget stuff, plans, and even people! 10. Depending on my OCD/Geminish traits I’m either going to obsess over them or I may not even like them tomorrow. Happy Planting and Happy New Week! Let’s grow this week! 😉

Man, I like this and it’s midweek! Let’s start small. Monday may have created a certain disposition in our week but we have a choice to move forward. I know the word control makes some nervous but I love it! I love controlling my day, week, life. We have that power everyday, to get up, do better, be better. It can be hard though, right? Sometimes it means removing practices, habits, and even people from our lives. But man oh man when you take control, let go, and remove...it feels so good! So good, and we can get excited about the rest of our week...lives. Let’s get it! ✊🏾❤️
