Just wanted to share this with you - After a much needed vacation from just about everything, I'm back! I've had a few health scares, as well as rapid weight gain and hair loss due to necessary meds. These unfortunate events were taking a toll on my mental health. SO, I kinda went into hibernation for a few months to assess and prioritize aspects in my life. 

The pressures of life can be overwhelming. It's important to know your limits, capabilities, except who you are and love yourself. AND - Sometimes you just need a LONG break.

Lesson one - Get rid of the toxic people in your life and don't look back. Surround yourself with people who truly care for you, lift you up, check in on you when your down and make you laugh - These folks are keepers!

Lesson two - Take a trip. These pics were taken on our road trip to Charleston for a friends-cation. I'm super happy here! Spending the week with my bestie and "the boys" is just what I needed. We're already planning our next trip!

Lesson three - Take a minute to enjoy every great moment. Not everyday is good and the special moments go by so fast. 

BACK TO FASHION - I'm drowning in chic athleisure these days. Here I am wearing Dior sunnies, Dior cotton bracelets, Dior fashion jewelry, Skims ribbed cotton tank, Joah Brown (one of my favorite brands) oversized joggers, Louis Vuitton Khaki Pillow Speedy 25 bag and Louis Vuitton Pillow flat comfort mules. 

Just a quick "golden hour" photoshoot with my bestie. I HATE the golden hour. Why do people chase yellow sun for pics? Not a fan! Now that I got that out there - Was lovely to host my girlfriend and catch a few photos with Grey and Teddy. 

I can't think of a better way to celebrate my birthday than Champagne, Ladurée Millefeuille dessert and a "little" shopping at Dior. If you follow my blog and socials, you know I'm obsessed with Dior.

I don't know who had more fun - Me or Grey. She wore a jeweled harness with black polka dots and pink trim, along with pink booties. She is the belle of the ball. Grey was running around the party, tryna snag some champagne and when no-one was looking may have taken a few bites of dessert! 

Whose more obsessed with mirrors - Me OR Teddy? He loves looking at himself in the mirror. Teddy is donning a Yellowstone inspired outfit with a plaid shirt, overalls and boots. He won best look. 

A small soirée at Dior is a dream come true. AND, I don't mind the private shopping experience either! AND my bestie Dari visited from Miami to celebrate my birthday. YAY! After Dior we had Five Guys burgers and fries - SO yummy!

Thank you Dior DC and Marika for hosting this lovely gathering for my birthday. This was a very special moment for me - Turning 42 ain't so bad after all - I know, you thought I was 30'ish' (wink)!
