Life Update, It's Been a While

*Ques music* It's been a longgg, long time coming, but good things are going to come my way. Trust me, I know. The last post on my blog that I worked so hard for, and more importantly, prayed daily about, was back in February of 2022. We're in a new month, new year, and an entirely new mindset. Do me a favor, and let me back in to your daily reading schedule with open arms. The amount of love, light, and positivity that I've been surrounded by truly pushed me to come back to this project, and I am SO happy about it. But before we get into the good things, the gym life, the beauty and skin care tips, I thought it'd be important to give you ladies and gents updates on me.

For starters, me and Drake made eye contact back in July. While this should be the end of the blog, cause this was truly the highlight of my summer, I'll be the first to say I lived in my "solo concert girl era" this year.

Learning to be present for myself and enjoy my own company has been great, and I'd recommend it to anyone. So, if you needed a sign to book the flight, go to the restaurant, or go to the concert you've been dying to buy tickets for, all by yourself, just DO IT!

In bigger news, your girl finally graduated. This is a heavy topic, so let's breathe for a second. If you know me, you know graduating this year was one of my top priorities. Between the stress of homework and still working full time, nothing but God's grace, and of course my praying parents, got me through it all.

I'll be attending LIM this fall in NYC to pursue my dreams of becoming a fashion and beauty writer. Hence, why we're back on track with this blog. From fashion forward events such as New York Fashion Week, to being surrounded by beauty creators around the world at Beautycon, I want to write about it all. Through writing and content creation, there are great things coming ahead through this journey. Send a prayer, or two. Actually, make it a solid 7 to make it complete.

Lastly, the big monster... the gym. We're still going strong, but when it comes to a lamb chop and lobster Mac dinner, I'm first and line for it! With the ups and downs of weight loss, while in school, I plan on truly getting my life together (for real this time, I hope).

While on the journey, I have, and always will, vow to myself to love every part of me on the journey, and never deprive myself. If you're on this life long journey of fitness, you should do the same. I'm learning every day that you can't hate yourself or your body while trying to get to your "body goals". Everything works with discipline (trust me, I'm tired of hearing that word too), but it's true!

With so much in place for the future, my top three words for the remaining of 2023 are the following: discipline, consistency, and gratitude. We're all a work in progress, and the only way to greatness is forward. Trust the process, keep God first, and put your best foot forward.

If you made it this far, I'm more than grateful that you're here with me, and welcoming me back into your weekly reads. Stay tuned for more, trust me, it's worth it.

xoxo
