My Life Right Now

I am currently a month into my last semester as an undergrad! I just cannot stop thanking God enough for bringing me this far. There was a time that I did not want to return to college. Now, Im 3 months away from graduating! I cannot believe it. I got my cap and gown on Valentine's Day and nearly cried when I tried it on. Its all becoming real for me. I am going to be accomplishing one of my major goals soon. Thats nothing but God's work! 







Also on Valentine's Day, I received a Valentine gift from my mom and my stepdad. My mom knocked on my door at midnight and when I opened it, there was a huge card and a gift sitting there. The next morning I found another card and some Valentine's M&Ms from my stepdad. Later in the day, my sister and I surprised my mom with her favorite cake and some lunch and surprised my stepdad with his favorite pie and a card. It was a great day! I felt extremely loved. 







I am a 6 foot tall woman, so I hear the question "Are you a model?" almost on a daily basis. For years, I've said "Umm, no", but now I can say "I've modeled before". Yes, I finally decided to step outside of my comfort and do a fashion show. I was asked to model some bridal gowns for Gabrielle's Bridal during a bridal expo recently. I was hesitant but then decided to just go for it. I am so glad that I did. I had such a great time and enjoyed being in the spotlight for awhile! The quick changes and the beautiful gowns/dresses, the music... it was all so much fun. I was asked to do more shows in the future and I agreed without a hint of hesitation. It wasn't a haute couture, high fashion  show or anything but it was still a fashion show. So now, Im going to call myself a model. No one can stop that from happening. Tyra Banks, Kimora Lee, Adriana Lima, and ME. *snaps*

Up next is Mardi Gras. I only plan to go to one parade to see my mom riding on a float. Im just dont do parades too much anymore. The thought of struggling to find a parking spot, standing in a crowd for hours, being pushed for cheap trinkets, and the smell of horse droppings is just too much. I just cant even deal. However, I will put that aside for a little while in order to see my mom. She's worth it! 


Hope everyone has a good weekend and Mardi Gras!


p.s. Another post right after this for NYFW! 


Love,
Coco

Put Some Spring In Your Step

Even though it won’t officially be spring for another month, the warm weather we are experiencing is making everyone shed their winter wardrobe and step out in spring & summer friendly looks. I’m a little reluctant because I like to wait until the official first day of spring to bring out my sandals and shorts. However, I am already looking at various stores, websites, and catalogs for the latest spring and summer shoe styles. The new styles are tempting me to throw my boots and closed-toe shoes to the back of the closet and bring out my sandals! I would seriously go broke if I bought every pair of new shoes that I have loved recently. Fortunately, I am able to display some restraint and just love them from afar. Here are a few of the styles that I was tempted by and the websites/brands whose new spring/summer styles are worth checking out if you are updating your shoe collection!  This zig-zag heel is EVERYTHING! Makes what would otherwise be a basic black sandal, into a sho...

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...

Whats Up With Coco?

Halfway through my final semester of undergrad! (insert applause and cheers here) I am counting down the days and keeping my eye on the prize! Business plans, papers and tests have kept my mind going! Im telling you, I am so ready to have that degree handed to me on May 18th. All my blood, sweat, and tears (literally) will finally seem worth it. I already have my cap, gown, graduation dress/shoes, and I am currently planning the after-graduation celebration! I. AM. READY!           7 weeks of class left & 70 days til graduation! Yesterday I was able to register for my first 3 grad school classes! That was surreal. Grad school definitely was not on my "To-Do" list! However, the closer I got to my last semester, the more I realized I still needed to learn more so that I could feel more prepared for the "real world". Well, that extra learning will begin on May 14th. Yes, 4 days before my undergrad graduation I will begin grad school...
