Soon thereafter it doubled up as a lifestyle blog, in which I showcased D.I.Y products, health and wellness and variety of … Continue reading Re-Vamping The Blog
One more reflection before moving on …
I've thought about 2018, a lot. I guess I keep going back to it because there were so many lessons that I learned during the latter part of the year.

Diving In
As 2018 came to an end, I did a lot of reflection and had many moments of solitude. Those moments brought me back to self and to center.

To Reflect On This Year
Would mean to look back at all that was ... and wasn't. Words are so powerful and I have been speaking what I perceived as horridness this year into existence. So much so, that it has become me. It's no doubt that this year was hard for me. But so many good things happened this … Continue reading To Reflect On This Year
An Ode To Sisterhood
Journeying through entrepreneurship has been the most stressful and rewarding thing that I've done thus far.

2017 Take Aways
It's been a while and that's an under statement. I had/ have to figure things out and I needed a break. Around the end of October, I felt myself falling into a depression.
