Lately getting dressed and doing my makeup has been my small act of resistance.

I am a firm believer that when you look good, you feel good, and when you feel good you play good.

So doing my makeup is my way of getting myself to a happy place despite pregnancy hormones and emotions ... and NGL it's been working. 🙃

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKBump #LTKgrwm

come get ready with me for church ✨🙏🏾

sunday best is not a suggestion around here, lol. got my music playing, taking my time, and putting together a look that feels modest, cute, and intentional — because showing up to the house of the LORD is always worth the effort. 🫶🏾

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKBump

okay so whenever I know I'm about to be on camera, I have my little 10-minute go-to that just works — nothing heavy or complicated, just enough to look like I tried (because I did, lol). this is the look I always come back to and honestly? it never misses. 🫶🏾

#LTKgrwm #LTKmorningroutine #LTKBeauty

Open my March IPSY bag with me and check out the new products I'll be trying.

I am obsessed with the Glow Recipe Toner Pads and the Maison Louis Marie Perfume! Definitely grab those up if you haven't already!

Before I kick off any part of my day, I like to start with my cup of coffee and time alone with God.

#LTKselfcare #LTKmorningroutine #LTKmomlife

Recently in my stories I talked about being diagnosed with PPD and how I’d initially felt ashamed by the diagnosis.

Honestly, I was more frustrated than surprised because I’d been feeling “off” since having Brayden.

I spent weeks silently talking to my friends about whether or not I should tell my therapist, wondering what it would mean about myself that I didn’t just bounce back.

In the end, I asked for help.
I got it.
And I got an overwhelming amount of love and support from those closest to me (thanks y’all).

Being a mom, wife, and business owner while still working in corporate has been HARD. But I’m grateful for the journey.

I’m learning so much about my priorities, being truly present in my life, and *realistic* capacity.

I’m re-learning the importance of being my own advocate (even if I have to advocate for me, to me).

Ain’t nothing over here figured out LOL, but per usual I’m happy to share a little behind the scenes.

Drop a love note for a mama who might need it in the comments. You truly never know what someone is dealing with (and contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to know to give a little grace) 🧡

Just got a FREE breast pump from Aeroflow Breast pumps. I picked the Zomee Z2 breast pump and plan on using it as a travel pump! New or expecting moms on the breastfeeding journey I HIGHLY recommend signing up

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKmomlife #LTKBaby

Have coffee with me. ☕️

My morning coffee is sacred to me as it’s the one part of my day that belongs solely to me.
