Fashion and clothes have been an interest of mine for a long time. While I wouldn’t have considered myself a “classy” fashionista in my younger years, my taste has evolved and my style has drastically improved. I have much more confidence in how I show up to the world in my outfits. Time is spent choosing what I want to …
Mornings used to bother me. Throughout life, people make such a big deal out of “starting your day off right.” It’s a lot of pressure, right? I’ve been all over the map as far as my mornings go. I made no emphasis on a successful morning routine, much less a routine at all. The older I get, the more I …
Petite. A word I’ve heard much of my life. I always take it as a compliment. Merriam-Webster defines it as “a clothing size for short women.” The Urban Dictionary defines it as “a short girl with small breast and butt, and a cute face.” I’ll take the both, but I like the latter better. Petite is better than “short” or …
We all wear shoes. Some of us more than others, but we don’t live in the caveman ages anymore, and shoes are part of the charm of an outfit. My shoe collection varies in size, as some days I swipe through multiple shoes and get them out of my closet. My summer shoe collection is one that I like to …
Knowing what my favorite travel items for a long flight are has taken me years to get down to a science. At this point in my extensive travels, I would say that I’m knowledgeable about items to take. There is nothing more that I hate than overpacking, although I *may* do it every time. For my carry on items, I …
I’ve always looked at life as a series of changes. How to change your life and adapt have always come easily to me. While I come from a culture where change is hard for so many, I crave it. My internal makeup permits me to march to the beat of my own drum without much apology. I’ve never been afraid …
Is it an effort to change your habits? Definitely. Is it usually worth it? Yes, if you’re instilling a good habit. What do I consider a good habit that I have adopted? To shop at a farmers market, of course! What made me start going was simply having the desire to be more aware of where my food comes from. …
Since I’ve become more immersed in the travel community worldwide, I have noticed how polarizing solo travel is to people. Some people think it’s utterly preposterous, and some can’t go a month without a solo trip. I’m of the mindset “you do you”…which is how I live most of my life and how my brain has come to work. It …
Once upon a time, I was smitten with the idea of owning shoes made by Prada, Fendi, and Christian Louboutin. I thought those were my favorite shoe brands. These days, I find myself looking at shoes I can walk through Europe in, and I’ll admit, they are classified more as a “comfort shoe” than a sexy, head-turning foot piece. My …
Carnival season can be short or it can be long, but no matter what, when January 6th hits, it’s time to break out that purple, green, and gold. January 6th is a big date for us here in New Orleans. It’s called a myriad of things: Epiphany, King’s Day, the start of the king cake diet, and the most wonderful …
