Welcome back to the blog, y’all! I hope you’re ready to be energized.
I’ve been living on the Gulf Coast for going on two years. Mobile, to be exact! A city with loads of old charm and loads of new, exciting things. I love it here!
What I love even more is the plethora of coffee shops. I didn’t think there would be so many, but Mobile’s coffee scene is top tier…hence this blog post.
I wouldn’t dare rank them all and I haven’t been to every single one, but I’ve been to enough that it’s time to put them all in a blog post at least.
So, if you’re ready to get your caffeine fix, keep reading!

Welcome back y’all! As I’m sure you all know by now, I’m a quite active and busy girl. I can be home one weekend and gone another, but I always make my trips count, no matter the length.
My recent trip to Jackson, Mississippi has probably been my most favorite so far, since I got to see what is probably the best exhibit I’ve ever been to.
The Mississippi Museum of Art invited select people to check out their newest exhibit, ‘A Movement in Every Direction: Legacies of the Great Migration’, which opened April 8. If you’re not sure what the Great Migration is, don’t worry, I’ll school ya soon.

Welcome back, y’all! Today’s blog post is all about styling a t-shirt, which I know you all have in your closet.
Sure, some might be holey, or stained, or both, but of course, you have to have at least one fit for wear! Now, you might be tempted to just throw the shirt on with a pair of sweatpants, but after you read this post, you’ll be left with some food for t-shirt thought!
Without further ado, let’s talk some shirts!
T-shirt/mom jeans
What is arguably the most common and trendy option right now is pairing a t-shirt with a pair of mom jeans. Tuck your shirt in or tie it up, before putting ..read more

Welcome back, y’all! Today’s post is all about skincare…particularly, nighttime skincare!
It took me forever to come up with a daytime and nighttime routine for my very oily skin. Years ago, it used to be out of control, but now, it’s way better!
Clap it up for moi, because I finally feel like I’m at a point in my skincare routine where I can give suggestions to others!
Disclaimer, everybody’s skin is different! What works for me might not work for you, but it never hurts to try a new product or two (that rhymed LOL).
If you’re too busy to read this post, check out the accompanying reel on my ..read more

Welcome back y’all!
So, it’s officially fall…unless you live in the south, that is. In that case, we can pretend it’s fall until about November.
For most people, it’s truly fall, aka trench coats, turtlenecks and all that jazz. While it’s not quite fall down here yet, there’s no reason why I can’t dress like it is!
Today’s blog post is all about some monochrome outfit ideas for fall! There’s a few colors I have in mind, included the dreaded white (which isn’t supposed to be worn after Labor Day, but who cares about that???) and a few other fun ones!
Without further ado, let’s get to the outfit ..read more

Welcome back, y’all!
If you follow me on Instagram, which you all should BTW, you know that I love posting food and recipes on my stories! Pretty much anytime I cook an elaborate meal, I document most, if not all of it!
Today’s blog post is a roundup of some of my favorite recipes I’ve ever cooked. Full credit goes to Pinterest for all of these, as I could never be this creative while cooking, LOL.
Chicken Pineapple Curry
One of the first recipes I tried to follow all alone in my single apartment was this Chicken Pineapple Curry one from Erin Chase, over at $5 Dinners. This was smack dead in ..read more

Welcome back y’all! Blazers seem to be all the rage lately, and my closet is certainly full of them. I have a blazer in just about every color…and let’s not get into designs, LOL.
Traditionally, blazers are worn for business purposes and almost always exclusively by men. Now, blazers can be worn for all occasions and for all genders!
Today, this blog post is all about the different ways you can style a blazer. From casual to super dressy, there’s loads of ways to take your blazers from blah to wow!
1. On top of a sleeveless shirt and biker shorts
This option has got to be my most popular way ..read more

Welcome back, y’all! Today’s blog post is a rather interesting one. While on Pinterest one day (which you should totally follow me on, btw), I came across the blog prompt titled “style evolution”. Basically, you’d discuss how your fashion sense and style has grown over the years.
First of all, can I just say what an EYE OPENING style look back this was, LOL. I came across pictures of me in things I would NEVER wear these days.
But before I get too ahead of myself, let’s get started!
Alright, so I’ll only be going back about six years. I would go all the way back to high school and middle scho ..read more

Welcome back, y’all!
I’m sure you’ve all seen those headband wigs all over Instagram and TikTok! If not, you’re in luck. That’s what this blog post is about today!
Today, I’ll be reviewing an amazing 18 inch body wave high density headband wig from Luvme Hair. Headband wigs have been all the rage lately, as people try to find different ways to do their hair that don’t require heat.
I can’t wait to share my thoughts on it! Spoiler alert…they’re pretty positive.
So, the order came relatively quickly! Maybe four to five days. I get so many packages, I don’t even keep track of when they come any ..read more
