3 Reasons I’ve Been Using Tula & Loving It

I’ve shared that I use Tula on Insta Stories before, but it wasn’t until recently that I realized I hadn’t dedicated a blog post to it. Which is kinda funny because I’ve been literally using it for years and it’s one of my favorite skincare lines. I’ve been using them in some way or another since all the way back when they were first getting started – maybe back in…

How to Improve Your Personal Idea of Wealth

If y’all have been following along for a while, especially on Stories, then you know that one of my goals for 2018 was to get better at finances. Honestly, as someone in my late twenties, I’m somewhat embarrassed that it’s taken me this long. On the flip side, though, it’s made me realize I’m not alone. Which is why I’m super excited to work with Charles Schwab to bring you…

How To Be Better At Making Decisions

Over the years of BTD, it is a pretty well-documented fact that making decisions is NOT my strong suit. I don’t know if it’s the fear of missing out or playing too many ‘what if’ scenarios in my head, but whatever the case may be, when it comes to “efficient” decision-making: I cringe. The net result of this cringe-induced paralysis? I don’t make a decision at all. Instead, I end…

BTD Q3 2018 Playlist

I feel like I’m always listening to music – whether while on a walk, while I get ready or even sometimes while I work. And each quarter, I like to share a little bit of what I’ve been listening to with y’all. I’m a little late with Q3’s playlist – given that we’re over halfway through it – but I figured better late than never! You’ll notice this playlist is…

The Classic “What Is My Purpose” Crisis

I’m experiencing one my little “what is my purpose and what am I doing and why am I here” moments this week. I don’t think this is something that I’m alone in experiencing. This is something we probably all deal with from time to time and in different ways. Right now, I’m feeling some discomfort. I don’t think it’s new, but sometimes it just feels more real and present.

5 Tips for Pulling Off Athleisure (4 Looks!)

I love getting dressed up and looking cute obviously, but for real life days, I’m in some sort of workout-ish gear or comfies. Especially if I have intentions for a workout at some point in the day, because I find that it keeps me motivated. Or, if I’m having an #IJustCantDay and want to make things easy.

Which is why I love that it’s now called athleisure and an acceptable way to live (because I’ve already been doing it for like a decade over here, ha!).

How I Do My Loose Waves

Ever since I cut my hair, I haven’t really experimented with it much. I usually just round brush it dry, maybe do a little velcro-roller action, and then I’m done.
