Yes, you heard me. This boss babe right here is intentionally going slower in life. For the first time, ever. I’ve put extra time in between tasks. I’ve taken things off my to-do list. I’ve spent the last few months asking myself what is really important. I’ve gone inward to figure out my priorities. I’ve taken tons of time to journal, reflect and pray. The thing I’ve learned is that we can become addicted to anything including activity. Next time you are wondering what you should be doing with an extra five minutes? Breathe. Yep. Sit down and take 5 minutes to just breathe. I promise your entire life will change from implementing this one tactic. Your heart rate will be calmer. Your thoughts will be clearer. You will feel less rushed. You will be recharged.

It may be February and I’m a minute late to the game but better late than never. As I realize the Earth’s energy is going to keep speeding up I’ve given myself so much more grace for emotions to roll in and out. For the first time in most of my life I am allowing every emotion to surface, be categorized and processed and then released. It hasn’t been an easy process but it is leading me to more vitality.

For today’s look, I paired the cutest blazer and fleece-lined jeans from Luvamia available on Amazon. I threw on a V-neck tank top and my new favorite two-toned pumps that are so ladylike from Elizee’s. Designed with ultimate comfort in mind! I think this heel height is perfect for a workday or luncheon. I finished things off with one of my favorite black purses from Michael Kors complete with gold hardware that matches my Kendra Scott gold filigree earrings.

I cannot believe it’s already 2023! Happy New Year! I pulled together this adorable look together earlier in the week. I rang in the new year at home with my boyfriend this year. It was heavenly and we were asleep long before midnight. Sometimes sleep is the best thing you can do. Anyhow, for fashion’s sake I pulled together this look to share with y’all. I wore a satin black dress with this elastic belt I have in a couple of colors. The dress is super silky and not see through. Also lightweight enough to convert to a nightgown and sleep in. Elisabet Tang recently sent me these heels and I think they are the classiest pair of shoes! Love them! I added a fur jacket I’ve had since college and beautiful statement earrings. Shop the entire look here and don’t forget to subscribe to my newsletter this week. I’ve got a sneek peak coming your way of something special!

For today’s look of 30 Days of Outfits, I’m sharing a really cute girls’ night out or date night look. I paired this black lantern sleeve sweetheart neckline top (that I also have in pink see here) with a suede-like mini skirt. Platforms are really in right now and this is such an affordable option. I grabbed them in black but there are so many other colors. I added a feminine clutch and a pair of statement earrings.

Today is now Day 6 of 30 Days of Outfits! This series has been so much fun to put together. Today I am sharing the cutest travel look. Bosidu sent me this adorable striped bag that has so many compartments! I love the design and the quality and they are giving you guys 20% off using this link. This makes a perfect last-minute gift for your travel companion. I paired it with these adorable capri pants that are the perfect length for even short legs like mine! They come in a variety of colors but this canyon pink had me at hello. I paired it with more stripes and then added blush sneakers to elongate my legs. Since I’m only 5’0 I use all the tricks! You can shop the whole look here and browse the other 30 Days of Outfits here!

I am wearing this really soft flannel buffalo plaid dress from Amazon. I recently shared it on Instagram here with a pair of Hunter Rain Boots, but for today’s look I dressed it up. This is adorable for an office outfit or a holiday party look. I’ve had this black baguette with gold chain hardware on repeat for the past few weeks. Classic black pumps will never do you wrong! Gold jewelry and sunglasses add a classy touch and a bit of glam.

Hello, Day 3 of 30 Days of Outfits! In case you missed Day 1 and Day 2, you can check them out here and here. I am so excited to share with you today’s look. It’s a modern take on classic pieces. Every girl should have a mini skirt that goes with everything. This is that skirt! I have worn it so many times this Fall. It’s seriously one of my most used items! I paired it with an asymmetrical cropped tank. Then, layered this elegant pinstripe blouse over the top. It’s an effortless piece that pulls the whole look together. The best part is that this shirt can be worn so many different ways! It layers under blazers so beautifully. I added classic black patent pumps and my favorite black bag for this season. You can shop the look here!

Black Friday is less than a week away and I’m so excited about all of the goodies going on sale this year! I’ve been pulling together a few looks to share with you guys for holiday outfits including this gorgeous velvet dress from Asvivid. I just received a few new pieces from them and love the softness of the fabric. This dress would be perfect for Thanksgiving when you need to let your belt loop out. I paired it with one of my favorite pairs of shoes from Amazon the Drop and a velvet braided headband for a touch of glam. I also really love this black jumpsuit if you are looking for a great party option and this cobalt blue dress for a work event! You can shop a ton of options below!

Happy Friday! So glad Thanksgiving Break is finally here! I feel like November just flew by at a rapid rate. With all the chilly temperatures I’ve been reaching for cozy sweaters like this beautiful baby blue lace embellished one I’m wearing in today’s post. Sweaters are a great gift for anyone in the family. Below you will find several of my favorites from Amazon including this Christmas-themed fair isle, this cozy cardigan (I have it in two colors), and this lovely oversized turtleneck. You can shop all of my favorite Amazon sweaters picks below!

I’ve been told my whole life I needed to slow down. A life of 12 cities in my first 17 years as a military brat conditioned me to feel like I always had to keep moving. I kept up that pattern in my 20’s and 30’s.

It didn’t matter where I lived, the maximum I could stay anywhere was 2 years before feeling like I needed to switch… switched companies I worked for, switch positions, switch challenges, switch homes…

Some of you experienced a life of constant movement and chaos. You know the feeling I’m describing. It was a need to constantly take on something more because I felt empty. And I longed to feel at home… but nothing was home. It felt like each job, location, and each overcome challenge felt like I was putting clothes on that weren’t me.

Happy Monday friends! What a whirlwind of a weekend. I spent so much of it getting a ton of downtime in. I hope you found ways to recharge, rest, and refill your cup. So many updates for you today!

The past few months have been by the far the most transformative months in my life. I wrote a little about the past three years in my last post, but the past few months have grown in a new light. I reached a point where the universe gave me the opportunity to pair up with someone and grow with them. In the course of this healing process, I broke free from generational ties, and limiting beliefs and began doing exactly what I loved every single day. I believe that what we attract, we get. I believe that you can have the life of your dreams. I believe that the universe supports you when you give love. I believe that the greatest of all the gifts we receive is the power to go within. I also believe that you can have, be and do anything given enough time and resources.

It will include how to get your glow back through a variety of methods - nourishing, rest, affirmation, and more. You will walk away with a better outlook and tools to help you roll into the holidays with your inner glow! Cannot wait to see you there

Are you feeling stuck? I understand. I’ve been there several times throughout my life. Sometimes I was facing a blockage that needed to be cleared and other times I had resistance. I’ve found one thing to be true in both situations. If you feel stuck, time to work on yourself. Look to your daily habits, what you are feeding yourself and how much joy you are experiencing. The thing is, we all get off track sometimes. We all have dips and valleys in life. It’s what makes the high points so pleasurable. If you are lacking glow right now, here are five ways to get it back. PS - I recently shared these on Facebook in a quick video!

I’ve been on a conquest to get to the root of my being. For the past few months, I took time throughout each day for inward reflection… Constantly asking myself if what I am currently doing is what will lead me to the highest version of myself. I examined forward and backward each small habit, every conversation I would partake in, and each movement I would choose to make. We are a sum of all the little choices we make throughout the day. Our character is a combination of actions we choose. After years of feeling obligated to do certain things, have certain jobs, and run what you would consider the rat race I decided I couldn’t do it anymore. My soul just needed more.

I believe the world is a giant playground filled with magical corners. I believe heaven lies in running through a sunflower field at sunset, floating on the river with people you love, and being able to take long sunset drives with someone special.
