For the beach in me loves the beach in you. From my sandy toes to the ocean blue. If I could make a choice, I'd repeat it again. The choice to love myself and become my own best friend. The sound of waves ashore, make me whole once more. As sunrays cast a glance on my sweat-filled ...
Self Portrait Sunday :: My Perfectious Imperfections
[pipdig_left][/pipdig_left] [pipdig_right] It's a very subjective and constantly evolving thing... A woman's relationship with her body. My body's been through a lot of phases in the past 30 years. Let's see... There was: - my "pre-period' body - my "after period" body - my "super fit ...
Self Portrait Sunday :: Curly Pixie
Last weekend, I finally found the courage to cut my hair in a style that I've been wanting to try out for the longest time = the "curly pixie". And I couldn't think of a better way to help officially introduce the new 'do to the blog than with a self-portrait sunday post. :) ^^ How I felt on ...
We Clean Up Pretty Nicely
[pipdig_left] [/pipdig_left] [pipdig_right] A few photos from this past weekend wherein Charles and I had the opportunity to get dressed up for a work related gala Friday night. Then Saturday, Charles and I went on our monthly date. Initially, Charles had gotten tickets for us to go watch ...
Self Portrait Sunday :: Save Water, Shower With A Friend
Let's discuss my process for talking Charles into doing this slightly risque Self Portrait Sunday (SPS) session with me... Because surprisingly, I didn't meet as much resistance as I anticipated and believe me when I say I was prepared to nag haha. Flashback to last December as I was googling ...
Santa Claus, His Santa Helper & The Santa Helper’s Husband
Ya'll... After 4 weeks of working as a Santa Helper at my local mall, I finally managed to wear Charles down and get him to take pics with me and Santa Claus. :) Today's post is a short but sweet one... Just dropping in to say "Haaaaay!" and "Happy Holidays!" My last day of 9-5 work was ...
Father’s Day Brunch w/ My All American Family
As the oldest of 6 siblings in my family, I sometimes find myself taking on the role of "family wrangler" for get-togethers... Especially when it comes to wrangling everyone together for family photos haha. This past Sunday, Charles and I made our way over to my Dad's place to ...
29 And Feeling Fine
Today I am officially 29 years old. I could reflect deeply about this turning of age but all I really feel the need to say right now is that "I'm 29 and feeling fine". With that said, I thought I'd share 29 things about the girl behind the blog in honor of my 29th birthday. An honest list of ...
2016 Self Help Book Recommendations? Please Share :)
You guys... In less than a month, I'll be turning 29. This, in turn, will equate me being one year away from turning 30. (O_O) And while the prospect of getting older is something I look forward to since I believe I'm only getting better with time as a woman... There's something about turning 30 in ...
Self Portrait Sunday :: Why I Blog
As time passes, I've come to realize the importance of making sure I never lose touch with my purpose for this little corner of the internet... Never lose sight on why I started and why it's still soooo worth it to show up and share my perspective despite sometimes feeling drowned out by the noise ...
Self Portrait Sunday :: Photo Booth Fun
Yesterday, I went on a date... with myself. I woke up, got dressed and put my face on a.k.a. contacts and makeup, something I rarely do these days. I went and had lunch at the cutest Chinese tea house in D.C. (more on that in a separate post). The waitress who seated me at my table asked if I was ...
Self Portrait Sunday :: Winter Storm Jonas
It's a dangerous thing to do. Take a break from the online world... Not being on my laptop, Instagram or Snapchat for 2 weeks - that feeling of freedom from social media I experienced was and is still very much an addictive feeling. So much so that I must admit I'm having a hard time getting back ...
