Inner Critic and a Squishy Tummy

I have something to admit. As happy as I look in these photos, I’m actually kind of bummed. The outfit is giving out good vibes and I’m left wondering where it went, why it ain’t giving me the popping upbeat energy on the inside? I guess you can’t always feel good even though you look good.

Shameless Ice Cream-aholic

There’s this scene from Netflix’s Working Moms where Anne goes to her freezer to get ice cream for a snack only to find that her stash of frozen creamy sweetness is all gone. “What the hell? Where’s my ice cream?” Her newly hired nanny got rid of it. All of it.

Weekend Happenings

Happy weekend folks. This weekend I’m wearing this top from Rent the Runway paired with these H&M shorts that I’ve had for years now (even if H&M has been greenwashing, this lady has been making the most out of her H&M buys).

Today is Complicated

Celebrating this day is a complicated thing. Today you may find floating through social media statements that this country was not built on freedom. I think of those who were brought here, enslaved. I think of those whose lands were taken away. There are those who are grappling with being a non-consensual American.

Motherhood, Creativity, & Rest

My last post was back in May and it’s titled, “Take a Break.” At the time I interpreted taking a break as the simple addition of afternoon naps to my schedule. I would come to find that I would need more than afternoon naps.

Take A Break

Being creative requires a lot of physical and mental energy. I didn’t want to listen to the call that I needed to rest. I had a moments of annoyance and shame for resting. Read more on the importance of taking breaks and see my rainy week outfit.
