My daughter recently learned what it is to “thro My daughter recently learned what it is to “throw mud”. That’s an idiom for saying bad things about someone to cause harm.

You can’t always protect your kids, but you can give them the mental tools to help themselves in tough situations. 

Here’s the example we discussed...

If someone comes up at school and says “what are you wearing? My shoes alone cost just as much as your entire outfit did!” 

Since they threw the mud, if we were to throw the mud back, our hands would get dirty.

Instead, don’t touch the mud. Let it fall. Give that person a compliment.

“I love your shoes!” 

That person is now the only one with dirty hands. Not you. Their opinion doesn’t matter, but clearly they’re hurting and need you to hurt too.  But you don’t need to hurt, because you are loved. Let the mud fall and don’t throw it back.

✨No one actually said anything to my daughter recently.  Just a conversation we had today so I thought I would share ✨
Y’all driving me crazy! Listen, if I get ONE MO Y’all driving me crazy!  Listen, if I get ONE MORE EMAIL from a woman APOLOGIZING for the way she looks...her wrinkles; her bags; her dark circles; her breakouts; blah, blah, BLAH! I’m gonna lose my 💩.

1. If you have said/thought something negative about your appearance today, you owe it to yourself to look in the mirror and find THREE features you love. I don’t care if it’s your damn nostrils. Find SOMETHING you like and focus on that.
2. When you send me emails or direct messages, know this... I 👏🏼 AM 👏🏼 YOUR 👏🏼 SAFE 👏🏼 ZONE.  I guarantee you the minute I see your makeup free selfie, I see waaaaay more beauty than you give yourself credit for.  Also, chances are, I’ve experienced the same issues or concerns you may be currently experiencing. 

FUN FACT ✨ we all age and see noticeable changes happening to our face. YOU’RE NOT ALONE. So don’t be ashamed or embarrassed to ask or seek help when you’re reaching out to me. EVER.

3. Do NOT preface an email sent directly to me with an apology for your appearance.  Say it with me...You. Are. Beautiful. And I mean that.

I just whipped through 15 color matches and 9 or the 15 had some sort of apology.  Ladies, we have to STOP apologizing for our natural beauty.  So you have dark circles and breakouts. That doesn’t make you ugly.  Own it. Work it. It’s okay! 

I willingly show up on social media with a bare face because I know I’m normal. Yes, I have fine lines, I’m developing jowls, I have dark circles, I’m currently fighting cystic acne, I have scars & age spots. The list goes on! But I bare it all. Why?  Because it’s me. I’m still beautiful. The makeup doesn’t make me that way. It just enhances the good things. 

I’m going to emphasize the good things and never apologize for anything else that I may not like.  Why would I be sorry?  This is me, and you are you. Do not feel you owe anyone (especially me) an apology. Do you hear me? 

Im saying this because I love you. 💕
Not makeup or beauty related. Just a proud mom. 🤗 I’ve tried to show my kids the importance of finding and doing things that make them genuinely happy.  Not just things that they could be or should be doing, but things that light their soul on fire. B has found her thang. 💃🏼 Hip hop is her happy place where she relieves all of her stress and gets to be as creative as she wants to be. I can’t tell you how grateful I am that she has discovered her passion at an early age, AND she has @theory.dance to help fuel her fire. 🔥 🙏🏼

If you watched my stories today, you already know If you watched my stories today, you already know that I’ve rediscovered the importance of self reflection. Since putting on makeup is like therapy for me, I’ve been sitting at my desk with a hot cup of tea, some good music, and just creating different looks. I challenged anyone listening to the stories to reflect on the things that make you feel like you.  The things that make you feel alive.  Maybe it’s a clean and organized house.  Maybe it’s putting together outfits. Maybe it’s taking photos.  Maybe it’s making others smile. Maybe it’s art or music or crafting. Whatever the thing is that makes your soul come alive, I encourage you to do more of it.  Times are weird. Life is a gift that we should be living, while filling our souls with happiness.  Find your “thing” and do it!...a lot! We all deserve a sense of peace and fulfillment...especially right now.💕

Need a SUPER easy pie recipe for tomorrow? The g Need a SUPER easy pie recipe for tomorrow? 

The girls and I spent the day in the kitchen prepping for Turkey Day! We realized that I had accidentally ordered a couple of the wrong ingredients, and the store had substituted a couple of other things.  Soooo...we created our own pie with the stuff we had! Y’all...it turned out SO yummy and it was insanely easy!

I’ve always prioritized making the girls feel valuable. They have contributed some kind of dish to our family functions since they were 5. They each have their own “signature dish” and they beam with pride every time they make it for a large group of people.  Build that confidence, right?!

Anywho, this would be a super simple recipe that your little one (or big one) could whip up 100% on their own! 

If you try it, make sure to tag me! This girls would be SO THRILLED that others are trying their concoction. 💕

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I used to scroll through Pinterest and find dinner I used to scroll through Pinterest and find dinner ideas. Go to the store to buy everything the recipes called for. Come home and put it all away, while noticing I already had majority of the ingredients. 🙄

Then, I’d get busy within the week, and never make 1/2 the recipes I was planning on making. Only to repeat this cycle the following week.😬 💵 

Sound familiar?

I have a system that I use to keep meal planning fast, simple and will save you money!  I talked about it in yesterday’s stories, but if you missed it, here’s the recap;

1. 📝 Take inventory of what you have.  I start with meat first. Write down all of the meat that you currently have that could be used for dinner.
2. ⏰ Look at your schedule.  Figure out which nights you’ll be home for dinner, and which nights you’ll need something FAST. This is a great time to set reminders in your phone to thaw meat on specific days, or when to make a meal ahead of time if needed, or to put dinner in the crockpot at a specific time so it’s ready to go later that night. Set those reminders so you won’t forget!
3. ✏️ Start planning - which meals could you cook up on which days.
4. ✅ Check to see if you have everything you need to complete the meal (including sides). Take note of what you need, and add it to the grocery list.
5. 🔁 Repeat these steps for breakfasts, lunches and snacks. 

Is your system similar to mine?
