I met a woman the other day who openly shared some of her challenges with motherhood. Motherhood is intensely challenging, beyond humbling, and at times you just want the day to be over then realizing that you’ll be back at it the next day. It never ends and there isn’t much reprive. It’s been on my heart to share some encouragement to any mother who will read this. When my son was around 15-18 months old and we were still living in Los Angeles, a man approached me at the gas station asking for money ..read more

With everything going on with the world wide pandemic, I’m seeing the importance of sharing anything good that the Lord is doing in your life with others. We need hope. We need to share the joy of walking with God. The testimonies of glorifying God would just add encouragement that I know I need. I LOVE hearing of God making ways out of no way, giving us more hope and faith. So here’s my testimony ..read more

I started wearing linen clothing because it’s extremely practical. Linen is one of the most environmentally friendly fabrics on the market. Linen is also considered the world’s strongest natural fabric. After tiring of purchasing new clothing every season for my heavily worn small capsule wardrobe, it just made sense to look for mid and heavy weight linen garments that could be worn year round and layered ..read more

The days of deep conditioning, using henna, and shingling each curl ended when I became a mom. I remember readers commenting that they didn’t have time to make all the DIY hair concoctions I shared on the blog. Well between being a stay and work-from-home mom, I don’t have the time now either. My focus when it comes to hair care now is to keep my scalp clean, and my hair moisturized, organized, and protected ..read more

This summer I wanted a few simple tops to wear with my maxi skirts. Thrift stores were predominately closed in my area due to the coronavirus, and I’d failed miserably finding what I wanted online secondhand. I also couldn’t find any tunics online that weren’t rayon or another synthetic fabric which are not breathable. Now that we live in the south, cotton and linen are the only fabrics I can bear this time of year ..read more

I started dressing modestly out of pure obedience after being born again September 2017 which I shared in my testimony.  Being obedient in itself made this process very challenging because I had let go of what I had learned from society about dress as well as my own opinions without the support of scripture. God’s standards are not our own, and modest dressing separates how you look from the majority. “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.” 2 Corinthians 6:17 KJV Overtime I’ve learned that modesty ..read more

There’s a new herb that I’ve been taking and seeing great benefits from called ashwagandha ..read more

Crazy title I know, but it’s the truth.  Everything doesn’t effect everyone the same way.  So this story today is based on my experiences.  With that said, let me to do what I do and be 100% transparent. Two weeks ago I wrote about my interest in creating a solid uniform for myself so I could be freed from the decision of what to wear.  I learned that some successful entrepreneurs and high esteemed people did this to avoid decision fatigue.  ..read more

Since we’ve been quarantined for awhile now, I’ve had much more time to really observe my son at home. A reader recently asked how I organized my son’s toys. Previously I had his toys in medium sized baskets (the same ones pictured plus a few others) along the wall in the bedroom. Although his toys were organized, he would usually want to be in the same room I was in, and wasn’t engaging in his toys ..read more
