I love the fall time because everything is changing. Everywhere you look there is a change occurring all around you.
While everything is changing take that time to change yourself as well. I truly believe you can’t really change unless you have self love.
Love yourself. Love all your flaws & insecurities. Love those things just a little bit more because they make you unique. So pledge to fall in love with all the things that make up who you are.
Xoxo,

ps,
Self-love takes time. So start by saying one positive thing about yourself. Make post-its of positive quotes and leave them around your personal space.
So yesterday evening I posted a post that was very raw to me. I hope you read it. If not it’s going to be right before this one. Today’s quote is:
Love your body. I have big ass boobs and a flat butt but you know what I’m going to love me anyway. I also have stretch marks galore. But I’m going to love how God made me. I know it’s hard. Trust me it’s freaking hard. But love it anyway. It’s time we learn to love us for US.
Good morning. If you read my previous post(if you didn’t what are you waiting for go read it!) then you will understand my theme for this week is #self-care.
The quote embodies all that I been feeling lately. My post to you today is take that leap. When I’m about to step out of my comfort zone, my heart starts to beat really fast. I know it’s my nerves, but I take that as an opportunity to go forward. It’s my universal sign to do take that leap of faith.
So do that. Write down something that makes your heart beat fast. Follow your passion. Don’t forget about yourself. Don’t forget about what you want out of this life.
This post is for the people that have a good girl and guy but treat them like shit. I’m going to give you some heartfelt advice. If you know your not doing right by then LEAVE THEM ALONE!!
I’m tired of seeing good people getting there hearts broken by no good people.
People like that are just plain ol’selfish to me. You know that your not in a good head place to date someone but you still want to. That to me is SELFISH!!
If you know want to play the field still don’t get into a relationship. If you know you don’t have the heart to love someone other than yourself don’t get into a relationship. If you know your a gold digger don’t get into a relationship. If you know your not in love with them walk away nothing hurts more than false hopes.
Let those good people go find someone that can truly love them and treat them the way they should be treated because you know they deserve it. Be the bigger person and walk away before you destroy them and the next person has to pay for your mistakes.
To the true lovers of the world I wish you nothing but bliss. Have a wonderful love filled day. To the selfish lovers of the world have a heart and let them GO!!!
This post is for the girls that were told “Your pretty for a dark skin girl(s).”
Please like this post if you have ever been told that above. I HATE those seven words with a fierce passion. Why can’t I be beautiful because of my dark skin?
Growing up I was always made fun of because of my skin color. My siblings would call me “blacky” all the time due to the name calling I would grow up to hate my skin tone. I will never forget the time I was introduced to Coco Butter. I used that every day morning and night. About four months into using it my mother noticed my skin changing. She asked me what was going on with my face. I told her “I don’t know I’m just becoming lighter.” Around the six month mark she finally caught on to what I was doing by this time it was two late the damaged was already done. I had lights spots on my cheeks but the rest of my face was dark. Thus having me being called “two toned”. My thinking at that time was if I was lighter I would be beautiful. If I was lighter I would not be made fun of. If I was lighter boys would notice me.
In my haste to lighten my skin didn’t realize that you had to put it all over your face and not just on the areas you didn’t like. It took years for my skin to become back to normal. Even now its tough to find certain foundations.
I was not raised to love my skin until I got older and realized that my skin was not going anywhere. It is apart of me. Take this time to look into the mirror and see that beauty that is you.
If you take away anything from this post. Understand that YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. YOUR SKIN IS BEAUTIFUL. Your skin color does not determine if your a pretty or not. I came across this video by Buzzfeed about dark skin and how people from various cultures go through this. Take a look at it. I have included it in bottom of this post.
Self-Love its important, it’s something we need. Something I know I lack daily. Today I want you to wake up and SAY “I am Beautiful. I am Gorgeous. I’M HERE TO SLAY!!
I can’t believe this year has flew past so quickly. I can tell you that I have deff been slacking off with my blogging last month and I’m so sorry about that. I had my hands full with everything. I have some great things planned for next year I will say. I hope all my readers are doing amazing.
The inspiration for this month is to do something you promised yourself that you were going to do all year long and you didn’t. It could be simple as read two books or more daring like go on a date. Do this for yourself you won’t be sorry I promise.
I can tell you that I am working on self-care and financial health for this month. Most likely it will be in my New Years resolution as well. Those are the main things I feel I need to work on. Now self-care for me includes everything from healthy eating, staying with my facial routine, attending my therapy appointments and doing the things I love. What’s yours?
This month I really want you guys to do something you didn’t do this year that you promised yourself. Leave a comment on this post I would love to hear about it.

ps,
“Make yourself a priority once in awhile. It’s not selfish. It’s necessary.”
Morning loves. So I have some exciting news that I can’t wait to share with you guys but it will have to be later this week as I am too tired to write it tonight. Sorry guys but I still love you💗
For today’s post I want you to think about the next step your taking. Be mindful that every step you take even if it’s a small one is one step towards living the life you imagined for yourself.
For those who are lost and don’t know what to do with your life. I’m going to give you a bit of advice in the form of a quote, “decide what to be and go be it.” That’s all there is to it. Go do something amazing with your life.
For those that’s fearful like myself. Take that next step because I assure you god has amazing things in store for you.
Someone asked me why I do what I do? This qoute above is why. It defines everything I want to do with my life. I want to inspire someone to live life as beautifully as they want to. I never want to see someone give up on life.
I’m a testament to that. A couple of years ago my life was empty. I was on the brink of giving up. I couldn’t take anymore. My life was in shambles but at the end of that dark tunnel I saw light.
It was a long road. One that I am still embarking on. My life ain’t rainbows and giggles but everyday I make an effort to work on myself.
Today I encourage you to live life beautifully. Take the next step in life.
