I have a full time job at a university and a part time job (just to kill time) at one of my favorite clothing stores. It’s hard to save for the future, shop, and travel, which is frustrating me because I feel limited in what I can do without tapping into my savings. Even with…
Financially, Christmas always seems to set me back. Even after receiving a well deserved bonus, the expensive gifts and dinner parties add up. That’s then followed by New Years that requires a fancy outfit and a case of pricey champagne, along with my birthday where I of course have to celebrate out of the country….
I’ve always been a pretty selfish individual, which isn’t easy to openly admit nor is it something I’m necessarily proud of; but it is indeed a fact. Admitting I care most about myself isn’t a characteristic that easily flows out of my mouth simply because selfishness is accompanied by so many negative stereotypes. I’m a…
I’ve been obsessing over military blazers and I love the femininity of this pink one, while still keeping the masculine structure. This Topshop Moto jacket is only $100 and looks so expensive. Definitely a wardrobe staple for all seasons. I’m a big fan of maxi dresses in Houston heat because they allow a little breeze….
I have been friends/roommates with a young lady for about three years now. We recently moved in together about a year ago and it will make two years very soon. We’re pretty much alike when it comes to our academics. We like to study hard, but I have recently noticed something unusual about her. We’re…
I’m well aware that you all don’t get too many details of my corporate life Monday through Friday and that’s not intentional. My life as a blogger + side hustler is completely separate from my 9-5 and while I’m passionate about both, I work really hard to not only excel at my day job but…
This morning was tough. I stayed in all weekend in attempts to tackle a rigorous to-do list and make the most out of the 48 hours allotted to me. I was feeling a ton of guilt because my to-do list is growing considerably faster than I can cross items off of it. I had a…
Got this white maxi dress in this week to wear to my next beach vacation over a bikini. I love the high split, especially because I plan to wear it as a cover up. I’m obsessing over lace-up flats these days, especially this black pair and this mustard pair. I might go for the pop…
I swear I will follow through with getting #CoffeeTalk questions to you all via video, but this week my schedule didn’t permit me to do so. So here’s another episode for you all to kick your weekend off with! I have been close friends with a girl since 6th grade. We went all throughout high…
You guys asked for months, and I talked for months… about getting on YouTube. I dreaded it. I dreaded setting up a camera and talking to it. I dreaded watching myself and my own mannerisms play back, because I’m my own worst critic. I dreaded downloading editing software and having to take the time out…
I would imagine that any business professional would have a LinkedIn account that they’re active on, but the more conversations I started to have with other millennials about business networking, the more I realized I was wrong. Not only are people not on this social media platform built specifically for business, many of them who…
I told you all recently that I’d been too busy to even shop. Well I got paid yesterday and I’m racking up on some Spring and vacation items. Here are some weekend deals – I love this lace one piece swimsuit but can’t decide between the black or white! This nude strappy one-piece got delivered…
On Instagram you stated that you’re broke because you recently purchased a camera. I thought that was real and a lesson on investing in yourself. My question is what kind of camera did you purchase and why? I am broke! LOL when I made that video I had just left from purchasing some merchandise that…
It’s officially Spring and we’ve surprisingly enjoyed some cooler weather this week. This week ended a busy season for me so I’m finally feeling refreshed, like I’m up above water again and have caught my breath (for the most part). I got the chance to get out and enjoy dinner on a patio on Tuesday night…
We recently wrapped up the first quarter of the year and it seems like January was just yesterday. The first three months of 2017 at my 9-5 consisted of over $200K in events including a ski trip, a huge Astros event, two crawfish boils, an open house and an economic forecast. On top of that,…
