Goodbye 2017

-
 Dear Readers,

The year 2017 has been one for the books. I know I thought 2016 was crazy but 2017 took it to another level.Another year has come and gone. Now it is time for 2018 to show us what it has to offer. I have learned alot about myself this year and how much I can take on a personal level. Just like 2016 the year of 2017 has not been overly cruel to me on any level. But a  year that I took to  explore and to chart out the road ahead.  I have created many new friendships in the year of 2017. Ones that I believe have made me better. I have done many of the things I promised myself I would do a year ago today.  This year has brought many ups and downs on many different platforms. My 30th birthday is vast approaching and I am not afraid.My life is not where I thought it would be but I am were I am needed to be in this moment in time. Life is a ever changing road and you can get caught up trying to plan for every single thing. Then you are running around trying to  achieving everything but end up achieving  nothing. For me that was a lot of my 2017. I had so many plans but I was not seeing many of them through. Leaving me to feel stuck and that I was having writers block so to speak in my life as a whole. Breaking down the wall is the biggest thing on my list for this upcoming year. Making it from A to B before I worry about C and D. This year has been a year of me going out and taking chances. while some of them have been rewarding and others have left me with a lesson learned they all have been amazing for them all.  We are so quick to be ready for the new year and forget what we have gone through in the year before. Sometimes it is a good idea to take just a minute to say this is what I did in 2017 before I step into 2018. The whole new year , new you is a good thing but forgetting who you were completely is not. It takes who you were to become who you are. Each year teaches new lessons and gives new tools for the next year. Creating new goals to go after in this new year. The year has gone by so fast that this chapter in my life is only hours away from ending and a new one starting. I am ready for the new chapter to see what it will bring but I wont forget the moments in 2017 that brought me to this point.

Wardrobe and more

Ok ,I set up this prompt to write a whole post about my wardrobe but I got nothing lol! My wardrobe is filled with all kinds of things! It really is. I will just tell it to you straight I go through fazes of buying things just as many people do! There are so many parts to my wardrobe! I have a mix of everything! At the moment      Wardrobe  buying that has picked up is hats!! I love then but only buy them sparingly ! I have started really shopping at Forever21 due to the fact they now have a plus size section! I will do a review on the later I think! Now that I am shopping there I think I will get a few more hats!!  Another thing that is finding it's way back into my wardrobe is Oxford shoes aka saddle shose!! I have always love the style they carry! I have two new pairs!! I have also been buying more converse !! Other than shose I have been buying a lot of Maxie dresses lately!

MAC order review

-

<p dir=ltr>This is the first time I have order from them online. I usually just go to the mall were its located in the mall. We don't have a MAC store in Oklahoma! I placed my order Friday and it arrived yesterday. It came in a plain black box. The lipsticks I ordered came in their boxes and wrapped in black tissue paper. I thought the box was pretty big for just two lipsticks but it's all good. My order consisted of via glam Nikki and Arichie's girls betty's  oh oh oh! I was suprised to see how sheer the betty lipstick but I still like the look it has. It sheer but has lots of sparkles give a subtle color to the lips.I have not worn the Viva Glam yet but you can see on the swatch on my hand it will be nice bright pink. Overall I am very pleased with my order. I have purchased from MAC before and will continue to do so.

Your vote, Your choice, Your Story

-
 Dear Readers, In light of the Presidential election that has currently taken place, I have deiced to go out way out of my comfort zone and write this post. This election has been one to remember. I am not here to talk about who you voted for or why you chose not to vote but my story in a way. We have this crazy notion that our vote doesn't count. Yes, in the grand overview of things it may not count for much but it still counts for something. I am not pointing fingers for those who didn`t vote or who you voted for . For that is your right to do so. I had a conversation with a friend at work  a few month back  if he was going to vote or not this year. He told me, he was not and he even explained his reason why. I am not telling you his reason because I can not speak for him. I understood his way of thinking but it is very different to my own. For myself , I am the odd one out in a way. Here, I  stand as a African- American woman with the odds stacked against me if ...
