Good Friday, Good Mood & Good Life!

I’ve been a busy little bee these last couple weeks! There’s less than a month of school left (does happy dance) so the professors are starting to pile on the assignments. I haven’t gotten overwhelmed though. I finish assignments well before the time they are due and stay up on upcoming tests/projects. I refuse to let LSU stress me out in my final semester!
                                                          (as of April 6, 2012)

Besides school, I have been doing a lot of DIY projects as gifts or possible centerpieces for my graduation dinner party. I even made a #FreeSeanPayton t-shirt because of the bounty scandal!  I have spent a lot of time in Hobby Lobby and Jo-Ann Fabrics! LOL Doing those projects actually helped me to wind down after doing all my school assignments. I enjoyed the challenge of new projects and loved seeing my finished products.

I have also been busy writing fashion blog posts for the Strawberri Curls blog. Recently my posts have gotten a lot of attention from people all over the world. I had a fashion graphics and branding company based in London message me that they enjoyed my writing and that I am a talented writer! Yesterday I had a company that sells designer shoes for taller women with larger shoe sizes message me about doing a guest post on their fashion blog! A few weeks ago I wanted to give up fashion blogging, but I decided to give it one more try. Thank God I did! I have been humbled by all of the positive responses I’ve gotten from people and the people that are asking me for fashion advice now. I love writing and I love fashion, so being able to do both and have them appreciated is just a blessing.

Now I am officially on my last Spring Break as an undergrad (tear)! I plan to get some rest and just enjoy a few days without running around like a chicken with its head cut off. I will write a few blog posts and start on a paper that’s due in a few weeks though. Y’all know I can’t completely take a full week off! My mind won’t let me! LOL
I am in a really good place right now and I love it. Every day I wake up and read the inspirational messages from Joel Osteen, I am back in church on a regular basis, and I am praying and praising God every day. The message from Joel today really struck a chord with me and I thought I’d share a portion of it. It really spoke to what I am experiencing right now.
God is saying “I’ve got resurrection power. I can give you one break that will thrust you to a new level. I can open up doors that no man can shut. I can bring talent out of you that you didn’t know you had. I can cause people, for no reason, to go out of their way to want to be good to you.” You part is to keep believing, knowing that He wants to bring you into supernatural increase.
Have a Happy Easter!

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...

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...
