The Lace Dress: Perfect for a Fall wedding or any special occasion! Lace is a timeless staple needed in every woman closet!

 

The time has arrived!! My new blog layout is here!! I have been wanting to do a change for quite some time now! My old theme was nice and a MAJOR upgrade from what I had before that, but it didn’t fully express who I was! I feel like this theme is bold yet girly and thats exactly who I am! As you can see I  chose color. Black and white is obviously chic and timeless, but for me I needed a bit more spunk! Blue and pink are my favorite colors so this worked out perfectly.  The site went down on Thursday the 24th.  My girl Phi is honestly a miracle worker. Through tons of back and forth and me finally deciding all that I wanted in SO MUCH detail, we have arrived! I am honestly in awe of her knowledge and patience! If anyone needs a site make over or a blog set up in general, I highly recommend Phi!!

In addition I was in need of a logo which I now have! Haley and I met up once about a week ago and briefly discussed ideas I had in my head! Two emails later and she literally read my mind! I am thrilled with how this logo came out.  She was also able to incorporate signatures for my email and blog, as well as business card details! She is amazing!!  Check out her design services here! Branding excites me and is so important! Feeling really excited and accomplished right now as we head into Q4 of this year! Be sure to tell me your thoughts on the new look below!!

Now on to this dress! THE LACE! Friends, lace is my favorite! So feminine and classy.  In such a league of its own! Then you add this peachy color… wow.  I am in love.  I consider this to be the perfect dress for a Fall wedding.  Maybe add a shawl of some sort, and boom, you are looking fly!! LOL! I styled this dress with a very simple / neutral bag and shoe as the dress speaks so loudly for itself! Shop the look below! Thanks so much for stopping by the blog! I have a few more posts scheduled for y’all this week so be sure to drop in daily for updates!! Also, be sure to enter the SUPER fun giveaway below!!

    I don’t actually get how this is much of a difference between the New York Times publishing this or some internet blog. Stuff such as this one must to be pushed out more to the public. I wish that citizens in America would do something like this.

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.

And don’t worry I got a new wig this week 😝💀🤣

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 🤍
The Cop 👮‍♂️/ Nurse 👩🏾‍⚕️Comb The Cop 👮‍♂️/ Nurse 👩🏾‍⚕️Combo😝!!! You already know life is crazy, there is no “work-life balance” & we have stories to exchange for dayyys!!! 

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 🙋🏾‍♀️
