And here we are🌱 Some days I wake up wishing I were more productive, that the weather was better, that I didn’t eat that slice of cake yesterday and that I rode those extra 15 minutes on the Peloton. 😩 But life rarely goes as planned. And that is ok. ✨ Happy Friday Folks!🤗 This is your daily reminder to be greatful for everything you have and celebrate the small wins! Today I celebrate 2 new clients in my web design business and my new apartment 🥳🌟 What are you celebrating?

Its been a crazy couple of weeks! ⁠ ⁠ I hit a big milestone with my side hustle. I finished building some great sites for my clients and got even more amazing feedback. The world of website building and web design is just so much fun.⁠ ⁠ I am kicking myself because I never really promote my business on Instagram but that stops today. ⁠ ⁠ I am opening up a new cohort and will be accepting 5 new clients. If you need a website designed check out my link in bio. New clients through Instagram get 15% OFF through 9/30! ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠

Swipe for some boss babe motivation! 💪🏽🔑✨ . . I am building and growing and constantly reminding myself to keep going! Had to tell myself “You are the CEO of your life, so act like it” this morning 🌱😌 . . I figured others needed to hear it too! What do you struggle with more, discipline, routine, self doubt or motivation? For me it’s always discipline 🙃 . . . . #carefreeblackgirl #blackblogger #blackinfluencer #brownskinbeauty #motivationalblogger #blackfemaleentrepreneurs #blackgirlfashion #beautifulblackgirls #melaninfeed #browngirlswhoblog #bloggercommunity #lifestylebloggers #bloggervibes #bloggergirls #styleinsta #fashioninfluencers #styleblogging #travelblogger #styleblogger #blackgirlmagic #lifestyleblogger #njbloggers #blackgirldaily #nycinfluencer #nycblogger #blackfashion #bossbabe #beautyinfluencer #naturalhair #shorts

Are your candles Soy Based?! . . I am currrently loving soy based candles. I burn so many candles and I used to release toxic chemicals from the paraffin wax. Now I have switched to 100% soy based and it makes a big difference. No toxins, clean burn and if your candles are made with natural essential oils it’s much better for you than artificial fragrance. . . Check my stories for a candle company I’m loving. @expandedspacecandles for a natural and clean alternative to toxic candles. The Jasmine candle fills the whole room and smells like a spa or luxury hotel. It’s a must.

Sometime you just feel stuck 😩 . . I woke up feeling like I am not making progress towards my goals. One deadline missed and not procrastination. It’s easy to get into a negative spiral. . . BUT.. I am reminded that I need to reinforce my habits. So these next 21 days I will be going back to the basics and solidifying my routine. . . . Mindset is everything 🔑

Are we still not traveling? 😬 . . . Thoughts on throwing caution to the wind and giving in to the travel bug?! ✈️

What’s more important, looking good or having fun? . . When I took this picture I ditched the makeup, didn’t think twice about my outfit and went out to have fun😉 . . I played on a rusty, old tire swing and just took in life 😀 . . This is a friendly reminder to do what makes you feel good! ❤️

What’s wrong with this picture? 🧐 . . . Absolutely nothing. 🙃 But that didn’t stop me from analyzing it for more than 30 mins. I told myself “my hair isn’t perfect”, “my outfit isn’t cute”, “the scenery is basic”, “my pose looks like I’m trying”. 😩 . . But at the end of the day I’m just a girl who loves sharing her life on insta. The good, the decent, the bad and the ugly (hopefully not too ugly 😉) . . Does anyone else over analyze their pics?!

Let’s talk about mindset...🙃 . . For the past couple of weeks I have been building out a business. Every day all I think about is failure. 🧐 “What if my money is wasted?” “What if my products don’t sell?” “What if all this time I put in is for nothing?” . . Then I started to reframe. What if I quit before I have the chance to be successful. What if this income stream is the unlock to leaving my 9-5. What if this process will develop me personally and professionally ✨. . . For anyone who is thinking like me. Go for it! Do it scared! Challenge yourself because the what if’s will always be there. 💪🏽

Just a girl who can’t wait to travel again ✈️ . . Any travel plans lined up?! ❤️

Just a girl focused on personal growth 🌱

Just a girl soaking up the sun ☀️

Just a girl who is unapologetically herself 🌱
