Bragging

Heyyy Loves!!!! Soooooo, as I browse instagram, twitter, and facebook I see a lot of people (especially my age) that are so called “bragging” about what they got and what they about to get and most of the time the bragging is about clothes, shoes, cars, and about what other people don’t have that they got. All those material things are nice..trust me..but does that mean that person has more and is better than the next person? I think not!! You know I understand that people work for what they got so it’s expected for people to flaunt and show what they work for but when bragging is put to use to put the next person down to make themselves seem like they are better than the next then that’s when it becomes an issue. There has to be an age limit where “bragging” has to stop LoL. What do people get out of bragging? I don’t understand. Does bragging give a person validity that they “got it” and that they are “better” than  everybody else? Some bragging is good but most of the time it used to put the next person down. As a 25 y/o with a career, about to be married, and almost has her ducks in row my type of bragging consist of having a job, a 401K, my own car, my own money, a master’s degree, a great family oriented foundation, great friends, omg the list goes on and on.

Comment below and tell me your thoughts about so called “bragging”

Engagement Photos

                                                                     Hey ya'll!! 

So on September 16th my fiance and I are taking engagement pictures. I'm so excited! We have been planning this day since the beginning of July. We have our outfits set and our locations. My photographer suggested 2 locations in downtown Richmond and both locations are perfect! I thought I had everything together for these pictures but I was missing one thing...PROPS! I didn't even think about props until somebody asked me about them. I did some research on engagement photo props and the ideas were endless!!  I didn't realize how much props can add to pictures. I have some prop ideas I want to incorporate in our pictures and I can't wait to see the results. As soon as our pictures come back I will be sure to share them on my blog! Below are some ideas I ran across while searching online. 

                                                                    Toodles!!!

I will be doing this..love it!

so cute

I have this prop :)

Aren't we all real life mannequins??

A mannequin is a dummy or person who wears clothing to be photographed or to be displayed before customers, buyers... a clothes model. So aren't we all real life mannequins? Think about it, most of us dress a certain way at a certain point of time so we can be seen, to show off our clothes, to be the "show stopper" but isn't that what a mannequin is used for??? When we see something we like on a mannequin in a store we usually go to the sales employee and ask them "Where is that shirt that the mannequin is wearing" or "Can I have those pants off the mannequin" right? So why when somebody likes the style of another it's called "jocking" or trying to be like somebody else? If I see somebody wearing a shirt I really like then heck yea I'm going to ask them where they got it from. It's not that I'm trying to be like them or steal their style, its because I like their style and that I want the shirt too LoL! Style is how you make it! Your style is just that YOUR STYLE. Nobody can take that from you. Instead of saying "oh she/he trying to be like me" just be flattered that your style is having an influence on somebody else!

Wedding Time!

Hey Loves!! 

So if ya'll don't know I am engaged to be married. My fiance' proposed to me on Friday, April 13th (yes Friday the 13th O_o) and it was very unexpected. I was so surprised and it's funny that everybody around me knew the proposal was coming except for me. As I'm in the planning stages I have soooo many ideas that I want to implement in my wedding. The ideas are endless. I can't do EVERY THING so picking and choosing what I'm going to do is hard. The planning stages are so much fun and my wedding coordinator knows my style so this wedding is exciting to her too. My wedding is going to be focused on "Live, Laugh, Love" my theme. Ryan and I are fun, loving, family oriented people so we want to implement that in our wedding. I'm getting married August 17th, 2013 and I cannot wait! For Ryan and I to share our love with our family and friends is going to be a day to remember!!!


"Love"
Perfect!

His Birthday!

Hey Loves! Today, August 23rd, is my love's birthday. My fiance' is 27!!!!! My boo getting old lol. For his birthday gifts I got him the couple's massage ( I had to throw myself in the mix :)) and some things delivered to his house. One package from Polo.com got delivered today and the other package will be here next week (I know I'm a little late). We both trying to get right for this wedding so I got him a little birthday cake from Martin's and I am treating him out to dinner this Sunday. I love my man!!!!! He's not really the extravagant, over the top type so for him it's the little things that matter and that's one of the features I love about him. I just thought I'd share what I did for my man's birthday. Below are some pics of us from 2007 to now! Ok, bye loves!

LoveliiYou

My collection of LoveliiYou button earrings and I just ordered 2 more pairs :)


 Hey Ya'll! This blog post is about the lovely LoveliiYou! I had to do a blog post because I just love her products. LoveliiYou is a button earring line started by Angel. I have been following her since I've started my natural hair journey back in 2010 ( I think it was 2010 lol..its been so long) because she too is natural. She specializes in button earrings but is branching out into hair bows, necklaces, and now bangles!! I love her products!! Her button earrings are the truth. They are stylish, unique, well made, and attention grabbers. Every time I wear them I always get compliments on how cute they are. If you want some attention grabbers and something to showoff with then LoveliiYou is definitely the way to go. The prices are just right and the customer service is excellent. Below is the link to her online Etsy store and also a link to her YouTube page. Please check her out!!!!
