Happy Birthday Princess Kalyn!     Six years a Happy Birthday Princess Kalyn!  
 
Six years ago God granted me the deepest desire of my heart. He knew exactly what I needed to make me whole.  
 
Kalyn gives my life so much meaning. She motivates me to work harder, take amazing care of myself, and to be a woman that she can emulate as she grows.  
 
My wish for my favorite girl is that she places her happiness above all else, that she always knows how much her life saved mine, and that she never dims her amazingly bright light!  
 
Y’all pray for me today, I am not ok! 😭 
 
Drop a birthday wish for my little rich best friend!
So that we might live love came and died alone.   
  
Beyond the baskets and eggs, this day for me is about remembering the sacrifice Jesus made for us. I get emotional often when I think about just how much HE’s done for me. Today and every day I’m thankful!  
  
Happy Easter, from me and my little bunny! 
 
How are you and your family spending resurrection day?
True or False? Access to affordable prescriptions True or False? Access to affordable prescriptions should be available for all. 
 
#ad In a climate that is heavily focused on health, saving money on prescriptions is more important that ever. I recently discovered @OptumPerks and found an easy 3 step process that allows you to search and find your prescriptions, and save money with coupons! A free no membership app allows you to find the prescriptions you and your loved ones need without worrying about extreme prices. 
 
When purchasing a prescription using the Optum Perks App, I saved $7 from the original price with the Optum Perks coupon. 
 
Saving this money for me and my family means extra funds to dedicate to other things we love such as travel or fun family experiences. What would saving on prescriptions mean for your family? 
 
Easily search, find, and save on prescriptions by downloading the Optum Perks Mobile App!

Get the #proglow with @urbanskinrx. Their Retinol Resurfacing Treatment Pads are now available at @ultabeauty. This ProStrength formula resurfaces skin to improve the appearance of uneven skin tone, breakouts, and aging.  
 
As I prepare for a quick getaway this weekend, I’ll be treating my skin to some serious self care. What are your weekend plans?

Who are you really fooling?    It’s the begi Who are you really fooling? 
 
It’s the beginning of a new month and most of your timeline will tell you to go after whatever goals you’ve created for Q2. Sound familiar? Here’s a different perspective.  
 
When thinking about the next season of your life, ask yourself if what you’re doing contributes to the life you were called to live? Are you showing up as your authentic self? Have you consulted with God about HIS goals for you?  
 
If it’s not about purpose, the only person you’re fooling is yourself. Drop a goal and tell me how it aligns with your purpose.
BUT GOD.       Should’ve been:   -Ho BUT GOD.

-Homeless  
-Broke  
-Depressed  
-Broken-hearted   
-Dead  
  
Instead I’m just blessed, and it was nothing but God’s grace. Don’t mind me, I’m just forever grateful. Collaborating with HIM has been my best partnership.

What legacy are you leaving your children?    What legacy are you leaving your children?   
  
When I hear most people talking about a legacy for their children, it involves money. While I’m setting my little rich best friend straight financially, my legacy for her goes way deeper.   
  
My mother didn’t have money to give me, but she instilled in me the power of prayer. It’s still the most powerful tool I possess. In Kalyn, the legacy that I want for her includes strong faith, freedom from the world’s expectations, and the importance of uplifting the women around her. I don’t know what she will become, but I know she’s going to be something special!   
  
What exactly does legacy mean to you?
Tell me where you’re from without telling me whe Tell me where you’re from without telling me where you’re from!  
 
Happy Monday! With so many new faces here, I’d love to connect and really get to know you a bit more. I’ll start us off!  
 
I’m Crystal and I’m from the city that originated crunk music. Sweet tea is the only kind there is, and shawty is a term of endearment. I love it here but we’re full so don’t come. 😂 
 
Your turn! I’ll see if I can guess everyone in the comments.
Happy Spring From Me and My Little Bunny!     Happy Spring From Me and My Little Bunny!  
 
It’s a new season, a new quarter, a new opportunity. My home is cleaner than ever, and my heart is full of happiness and hope. 
 
Spring reminds me of flowers blooming and mew beginnings. I’m excited about celebrating and creating this season.  
 
What do you love most about Spring?
Content is still king! (SAVE THIS POST)

What’s your go to spring fashion item?
Since I have to Monday, I might as well make it a Since I have to Monday, I might as well make it a great one! 
 
Last week I completely checked out. I listened to my body and mind when they told me to take a break. I didn’t feel guilty about it. As an extreme overachiever, I was proud of myself.  
 
This week, my head is back in the game and I’m reading to close out Q1 with a bang! I’m excited to add some new posts to the blog this week, as well as rebrand my website to match my overall aesthetic.  
 
How was your weekend? What’s on your to-do list this week?
If you feel like quitting, don’t.    
   
If a dream is in your heart, keep pursuing it until it becomes reality.    
   
I almost talked myself out of my dreams. I almost gave up on being an educator because of mistreatment from employers. I almost gave up on influencing because I felt like no one cared about what I had to say. I almost gave up on the life I wanted because I couldn’t see past the life I had at the time.    
   
Instead of letting those dreams die I decided to go for it. I chose to give those dreams my all and know that even if they looked differently than I imagined, they’d turn out exactly how God intended them to.    
   
Fast forward to me being promoted(speaking it into existence), being successful as an influencer, and building my dream life! All because I made the decision not to quit.    
   
I encourage you today to lean deep into your dreams. That thing that keeps you up at night is there to fuel you. God is with you, and you will not fail!   
   
Meet me in the comments and tell me one goal you’re pursuing.
Here’s to strong women.  May we know them.   Here’s to strong women.

Happy #internationalwomensday! I’m so proud to be a woman. So proud to know so many intelligent and brave women, and so proud to raise a kind yet fierce young woman!

I pretend I’m ok, but deep down I want to go on I pretend I’m ok, but deep down I want to go on vacation every week. 😖 
 
I’m having a bad case of the Pre-Mondays and wishing I was back on the beach. But instead of focusing on the fact that I have to clock in, I’m shifting my attitude to gratefulness.  
 
I get to work from home doing something I love. I get to spend more time with my daughter. I get to help take care of my family. I get to do something so many are praying for.  
 
I’m heading into the week with hope and gratitude for what is to come!  
 
Do you have the Sunday night blues? What are some things you’d like to accomplish this week?
Send help! Quarantine has our routine out the wind Send help! Quarantine has our routine out the window!  
 
If I’m being fully honest, the last few months we’ve been winging it. Bedtime is much later than it should be and waking up looks like rolling out of bed and logging right on for work and school.  While I’ve appreciated the extra time to hang out with my favorite girl, we are both at our best when routines are clear.
 
I miss the days where I had a few moments to do my makeup, breathe, and pray before having to jump right into mommy mode. One of my March goals is to reset the routine to get to bed earlier and wake up with time for myself.  
 
Has your routine remained consistent? Share some tips with me to get back on track.
