btw this isn’t the extent of the horrors white supremacists will enact. the real horrors will start as they return to their communities with the high of having broken into the fucking capitol with guns and bombs and having been protected by the police and the president. the real horrors will be enacted on poc and Black ppl specifically now that white supremacists know they can do whatever the fuck they want with guaranteed protection, they will not be enacted on congressmen. it’s not your politicians you have to worry about. pelosi will be just fine.

 Eid Al Adha

Around this time a year ago, Houston was hit by Hurricane Harvey. As many of you know, my family primarily resides in Houston. Thankfully during that difficult time, my parents and family members were visiting me here in Dallas.

Hurricane Harvey caused nearly $125 billion in damages in Texas, Louisiana and the surrounding areas. It was a bit hard to keep positive when half of Houston was under…

Hello, again.

Hi! I’m slightly ashamed to be here again. It’s been a while since my last post. In fact, it’s been over a year. A lot has happened to me in the past year; some of which I will explain, some of which you will have to just imagine.   Back in March 2017, I had just traveled to India to shop for my sister in law’s wedding. One week of shopping and street food was a blast. Once I landed back in Texas…

Work Decor- Spruce up your office!

Work Decor- Spruce up your cubicle!

It’s safe to say that the average American spends nearly 45 hours at work. From the sip of your first coffee to the end of your last meeting, you’ve probably spent an quite a bit of time at your desk. Whether it’s writing dispositions, or just a quick email to a colleague, your desk should inspire you to work better. I’m not saying spend half of your paycheck on beautifying your office space. You…

What is in my traveling skincare bag?

Hubby and I are weekend travelers. Whether it is a weekend in the cabins, or a drive down to Houston, we like to save our vacation days and head out to experience some adventures for the weekend. This past weekend I headed out to my parent’s house in Houston to celebrate my sister’s birthday. We usually leave right after work so that means I have to pack an overnight bag quickly. In order to make…

Cabin in the Woods- A weekend in Oklahoma

Cabin in the Woods- A weekend in Oklahoma

Earlier this month, I had the privilege of going away with a few of my best friends here in Dallas. 8 couples and an adorable 3 year old drove almost 3 hours to the Beaver’s Bend Creative Escapes resort located in the Broken Bow State Park. One of my coworkers, Amanda, had suggested this company and honestly after spending the weekend there, I would totally suggest this to anyone as well. We…

January Favorites

Hi. I’m sorry. I’ve been hiding away from the world of blogging for some time. It’s been difficult to handle the changes in my life and I needed to step aside for a while. But I’m back and hopefully here for a long time. January has flown by so quickly. I cannot believe that we are already one month into this year! Back in August, hubby and I bought a house. It’s been a long while coming but we…

Reflections of 2016

There's a certain type of depression that sets over when you spend your time reflecting about the year that's passed. You think of the time when you could have had so many possibilities. Young children filled your dreams and your womb. Time passed and nothing came to fruition. You remember the times when parties at your parents house were filled with familiar faces and laughter that you were involved in. Now you hear that laughter through the walls of the rooms that feel unfamiliar. Time changes everything. I've grown comfortable in my own world away from everything and everyone. I don't have best friends anymore. I have myself yet sometimes I yearn for the time when I could share thoughts with friends. I used to have a relationship with my sisters. But now they are strangers with different experiences and different inside jokes. I used to be family but now if I'm not there, it doesn't make a difference. The past year has made me so lonely and so alone. There are experiences where my life has changed, things that have happened where I have changed. I no longer want to meet people or build relationships with them. Their happiness is not my happiness. Only my happiness makes me feel better. I want the things that have been denied to me.

August 2016 Favorites.

August has been crazy! Between buying a house(!) to renovating a house (!!), I’ve been all over the place. This month has been mostly casual in terms of clothing and makeup. It’s been raining quite a bit over here in Dallas so I’ve been mustering some extra effort to keep my face dry and humidity free. GlamGlow Thirsty Mud mask- Oh the humidity! Dallas weather has been crazy for the past few…

San Diego! Here I come.

San Diego! Here I come.

Happy Labor Day! Put away those white jeans and sip on that last summer sunshine.Labor Day was always the unofficial last day of summer when we were growing up. Summer started on Memorial Day and ended on Labor Day. Speaking of Memorial Day, back in May, hubby and I took a trip out to San Diego during the Memorial Day break. Having lived in Dallas for 3 years now, I miss having access to the…
