Look at that beautiful dark skin. We should all take a moment to appreciate our beautiful black skin. There is something about yellow/mustard that makes me glow.

4miles and a breakfast bowl

After a long day of buying things for my new apartment and talking to my sisters on the phone, I went to bed late. It was difficult to get up this morning because I wanted to sleep some more. I finally got up at about 5:50 and didn't leave my apartment till a bit after 6 am for my 4 miles run. It was an OK run , glad I got it over with. Once I was home, I decided to make a breakfast bowl. It was sautéed kale, zucchini, beets, and coconut oil. It was quite delicious. Happy Friday!

My thoughts through a 10miles run

First things first, why the hell am I running for 10miles? Well I spontaneously signed up for my second half marathon and I’m currently training (trying). I was on vacation last week with my friends at NOLA. As with every 20something years old; we partied, ate a lot, and stayed up late. Now I’m back and I dived right into training. I started slow by biking on Thursday and then ran 4miles on Friday. Now today Saturday, I ran 10 miles! Originally, I didn’t think I was going to finish the run because my mind was not ready to run and it was getting hotter. I stopped a lot but did not walk. The first 5miles were hard because I ran a route that had hills. The next 2miles were on a trail, which also included hills. I stopped for water and I was thinking maybe I should head home. I didn’t. I changed my music station to samba. Which put me in a great mood. So I continued up to 9 miles . The last mile took every thing in me to finish. I did it I finished it! Here is to every 10miles we do with a struggle but finish strong. #strongisbeautiful

Running in the cold…

Something about cold air flowing through my lungs when I take my first stride is refreshing. It makes me feel light, it makes me feel good. It makes me like Yes! I can finish this run. I ran 5miles this morning at about 4:10 am. Although, I have been having a hard time lately getting my times low, this run was still brilliant. Half way through my run, I took of my shirt and kept on going. The cool breeze was phenomenal, it helped dry up my sweat. At the end of my run-I finished in 45:00mins-, I decided to do a few sprints to shake my legs off. It’s Monday and there is no better way to start my day. Happy Monday!

All white..

White.... I'm not the biggest fan of wearing white because of how messy I can be. But when this colour is places on my dark skin, it looks brilliant. I originally wore this outfit with the hopes of going to the NOLA white linen festival. Due to the heavy rain, I didn't attend. During early times of the day, my friends and I visited a museum, danced to local jazz on the street, tried gumbo for the first time, and visited the Audubon Butterfly Garden and Insectarium. I must say, it was a productive day
