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. No break for me! Thats okay. I'll rest when I get to where I want to be!

Recently I took some cap/gown pictures with my sister Kelly. We did it for our mom. She really wanted to see both of her girls in their graduation cap/gowns and she wanted photographs of it. We took some individual photos and some together. The pictures came out so well. We really loved them. My mom cried and couldnt stop smiling. You could see how proud she was. Seeing her look that happy, made that day so much more special for me. 




I had some free time today and finally got around to making the Saints pillow Ive been promising my mom for months! LOL I even made one for my sister. I went to the new Jo-Ann fabric store that opened today and got the fabric and pillow stuffing. It took me less than a half an hour to make both pillows! I'm getting pretty good at this sewing thing, if I shall say so myself! I also created something else for the very first time, but I cannot share it yet because its a gift! I will share in about a week or so! Lets just say, I am tu tu excited about it! :-)




Love,
Coco

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...

Make Your Ugly Christmas Sweater Fabulous

It seems as if you cant go anywhere without seeing an Ugly Christmas Sweater section. Even Walmart has a set up! Everyone is preparing for all of the parties with this wonderfully unattractive theme. Ive even been invited to one this year. So, its time for us to pull out the best of our worst in our sweater collection. Keep in mind, just because your sweater is supposed to be "ugly" doesnt mean the rest of your look cant be fabulous. Here are a few looks to help you get ready for the #UglyChristmasSweater season! Be fabulously "ugly"! Love, Coco #CocosChaos #HappyHolidays
