I was SEW Surprised :)

So I was surprised by my mom & stepdad a little while ago with an early Christmas gift. Guess what it was? A sewing machine! I was so surprised and excited that I teared up! I have been saying for awhile now that my goal for next year was to get a sewing machine and to learn how to construct garments, home decor, etc. I planned to buy a sewing machine at the beginning of 2012. Well, my mom & stepdad beat me to it! Im so excited! 


My lovely new sewing machine! Its a limited edition Project Runway sewing machine!


During my break between semesters (Dec 10th - Jan 16), I will put my new gift to use! My mom has already put in a request for a New Orleans Saints pillow and my sis wants a v-neck shirt! LOL I cannot wait until I complete my first item and I am able to share my work! 


Just took a break from starting my finals prep to share that! 


Til next time,
Coco

    Well honey this is the first step to greatness. First, you one to get the easy so patterns and get the hang of it then you can add your own twist to things and make it original, then on to going from your mind.

My Resurrection

On March 19, 2017, I took a huge step in my spiritual journey. I walked into a baptism pool, lowered myself into the holy water, and allowed my mind, spirit, heart and body to be cleansed. I rose up from the water with a new outlook. I was ready to embark on the next steps of my journey as a baptized woman. A year later, I am reflecting upon the 365 plus days since my baptism and I am amazed by the growth I've experienced. Was the journey easy? Absolutely not. Was it easier to face the battles and adversity after renewing my relationship with God? Absolutely. I have constantly been reminded that God never said weapons wouldn't form. He said they wouldn't prosper (Isaiah 54:17) . I hit some bumps in the road (spiritually, financially, mentally, and physically). I went through a short season of confusion and lack of motivation. I was angry with God. I yelled at Him! (Ever seen me yelling and upset? Then you know this wasn't cute!) Literally, ye...

Holiday Fashion: Menswear

I usually don't pay much attention to men's fashion. Honestly, I thought it was dull. *shrugs*  However, recently someone asked me to help them with some menswear looks. I was hesitant at first, but then decided to do some research. It actually ended up taking up half of my day! I was excited by it! I was confused about where to start so I asked a male friend of mine (Thanks Josh!) for some suggestions and that ended up being a huge help. With his suggestions and some additional research on my own, I was able to put together about 10 or so looks. I looked at tons of retail websites, fashion magazine websites, and Googled images of celebrities. After several hours of research and putting looks together, I was pretty impressed with my work. *pats self on back* The looks are simple but fun and there are options for just about every kind of man!  I decided to do a post about it, just in case any males read this blog or if any of you ladies have men in your life that need a litt...
