Nate and I were engaged when I was 27, and got married when I was 29 and while biologically that’s the ideal time to start having children, Nate and I had only dated for six months prior to our engagement and I wanted to make sure that we took enough time to enjoy the two…
I’m newly postpartum and am enjoying this season of my life so much! It could also be because Fall is my favorite season and I get to enjoy being a new mother in cooler weather while being comfortable in my own home in clothes that feel great on me and also didn’t break the bank….
Before we knew the gender of our baby, we swore we were going to go with a gender neutral nursery regardless of the sex. Gender neutral for me usually means black, white and gray… Like everything else in our house. Once we found out he was a boy, I absolutely knew blue would not have…
The photos that we took to announce that we were expecting Baby Agbo have to be my favorite photos that Nate and I have ever taken together. Well before I was pregnant or even trying for a baby, I had visions that we’d take these fun photos in a kitchen when our time came and…
*This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Hairfood. The opinions and text are all mine.* Just like I make an effort to fuel my body with foods that nourish what’s best for me, I try to make that same effort towards my hair. As much as I love trying new products…
I grew up saying I didn’t want kids. I was not one of those little girls who dreamed of motherhood or having a family and I kept that same energy well into adulthood. I just didn’t care for kids. I didn’t dislike them, I absolutely adore my nephews and the joy they’ve brought to my…
Before this baby was ever conceived, I’d already imagined in my head surprising Nate with the news. I knew as much as I’d be surprised by it happening, I didn’t want to take the test with him and have him know right away. And while I didn’t know when it would happen, I knew that…
This post is in partnership with Pantene, but all opinions are my own.* Growing up in our household, there were three girls – my mom, my older sister and me. Each of us had such different textures of hair that the combs, brushes and products we used differed from person to person, while my dad…
Mother’s Day is around the corner and this year, it means so much more to me as I prepare to be a mama for the first time. I definitely plan to shower the women in my life with all the love and gifts this mothers day. Below I’m sharing some good gift options for those…
It’s no secret that I dealt with years of unexplained acne in my late 20’s. For those of you who have ever struggled with uncontrollable adult acne, you know the pain of it. Not knowing what triggered a new pimple, the anxiety of not being able to be sure you’d have clear skin for a…
With the new year kicking off and motivation lacking for almost all of us, I typically find that ordering a few new business casual workwear items that I can wear whether I’m working from home, or back in the office a few days a week, really helps me with my productivity and motivation. I’m a…
Week after week, I continue to share my newest purchases, favorite deals and highly recommended sales that I’m enjoying shopping. Because so many of these items sell so many at a single time, I thought it would be worthwhile for me to share the top 10 best sellers of each month with you all the…
You can’t microwave success. Since I began to provide guidance and education a few years ago to women all over the country aspiring to build their own personal blogs, brands and businesses, there has been so much speculation around the timeline it takes to breed results. In August, I launched a mentorship program that now…
Christmas crept up on me way sooner than I expected and I know I’m not alone in feeling this way. It is THIS week! I did my best to get my decor up before Thanksgiving and was committed to shopping Black Friday deals, only for it to be the week of Christmas and I was…
Every year I take advantage of Black Friday Deals that are worth shopping. Particularly on things I’ve been wanting but have held off on hoping that they’d go on sale. It brings me SO MUCH JOY to sit on my couch all day and scour the best sales. Whether you’re looking for a specific item,…
