Polka Dot Party

I don’t know about you, but I am loving the big polka dot party that is happening all over the fashion world this year! It is a BIG 2018 Spring trend and I am all about it! Polka dots have always represented “happy” and “fun” for me! As you can see, with the mix of the print and the style of this dress I was moved to dance!! Some of my favorite fashion bloggers did Polka Dots best here, here and here!

How do you feel about this revolving trend?! Would you wear your polka dots as an accessory or as an entire outfit?! For reference I am wearing number seven.  I paired them with a pair of my favorite strappy heels.  I attempted to add a bag with this look but I found that it took away from the overall feel of the dress!  You can find my dress here and strappy heels here.

    I think the new trend is cute and I’m a larger woman, although I would still DEFINITELY wear number ten! Probably number five also and number two to go with them. Great styles.

    Thanks for your content. One other thing is when you are advertising your property by yourself, one of the problems you need to be cognizant of upfront is when to deal with home inspection reports. As a FSBO supplier, the key to successfully shifting your property and also saving money upon real estate agent commissions is know-how. The more you already know, the smoother your home sales effort will likely be. One area that this is particularly crucial is assessments.

I honestly went back and forth on sharing this but I honestly went back and forth on sharing this but why not 🤪. I left the worst ones out 😅

Online hate is wild to me. People behind a screen saying whatever they want not realizing it actually affects real people.

I posted a simple cute video of Ben and I going from regular clothes to our work uniforms. it went viral, which is a chance you take so I got a lot of love which I’m thankful for but a lot of hate as well.. these were all strangers, people who don’t know that we’ve been married almost 18 years, have a beautiful family, genuinely love each other, and love what we do and the people we serve 👮‍♂️ 👩🏾‍⚕️ 🩺 

You expect it to some extent but I didn’t realize how much words could still affect me…I’m 41 almost 42. It really doesn’t matter how old you are words still hit.

I’m not sharing this for sympathy just a reminder before you leave a mean comment on someone’s page whether it’s a stranger, someone you know, or someone with a big platform think twice. Words matter & they  impact people more than you think.

This time last year I was unexpectedly renewing my This time last year I was unexpectedly renewing my Nursing 🩺👩🏾‍⚕️ license after leaving my job in 2020 and spending five years at home with my kids creating content full time. To say I was shocked to be reentering the workforce is an understatement. Sometimes life shifts and you just have to roll with it 😮‍💨

I am SO thankful I had the opportunity to go back to work but it was hard. I felt like I failed in my business & I was down BAD 😝 But I realized something….God makes NO MISTAKES.

I LOVE my current job & I STILL get to create content, but now it feels more authentic and true to who I am😌

I am dancing because I can & because I am thankful. Your life can change SO much in a year, overnight or In a MOMENT. Trust God with your life. He will NEVER let you down 🤍

If you’re new here, then I’ll give you a little bit of a backstory but also if you’ve been here for a while because a lot has changed in the last year 🤪. 

I became a nurse at 19 after graduating high school early, raised in a very purpose driven Jamaican home. Nursing was never just a job for me. It was provision, connection, and a way to serve people from all walks of life.

In 2020, I stepped away from nursing to pursue content creation full time, and it truly felt like a dream!!! The biggest blessing was the time it gave me with my family. Being present, raising my kids, and soaking in every moment 🥲

Then almost exactly a year ago, May 15, God called me back to nursing, and I couldn’t believe it. The transition was not easy, but it has been one of the greatest blessings. My heart is so full, and I have never felt more aligned in what I do.

God knows what He is doing. He makes no mistakes 🤍 Where are my nurses, law enforcement, and first responders at 🙋🏾‍♀️
