Happy Birthday Daddy!

Dear Dad,

Happy Birthday! May this year be the year you catch the biggest fish you’ve ever caught, laugh more than you did the year before and may you be surrounded by abundant love! On this day I want to thank you for your part in being the woman I am today.

You taught me honesty. No matter the question, your answer has always been honest. You never tried to hide or shield anything from me. Even when I wanted you to say I’m right you can point out when I’m wrong. You’re one to listen first and answer objectively. At any age I could ask you about your life before I was born, aka the one before you became and upstanding citizen lol, and without hesitation you answered truthfully about what you’ve done, how you did, with who and where lol. You’ve always been honest with me and I thank you for that.

You nurtured my inquisitiveness. I’ve been told at a young age I was “destructive.” I just wanted to know how things were made, there’s a picture of me with my mechanical toy dog and a screw driver lol. I know you were the one behind the camera and were prob the one to give me the screwdriver lol. I remember when I was maybe around 10 I wanted this box to put my things in, think of a teenage toy box of sorts. I really wanted to help build it, you took me in the garage and we built it together. My “destructiveness” led me to be the “handy” woman I am today. I don’t know how to fix everything but I know my way around a drill and that’s because of you!

You’ve taught me my value. From the time I was born you’ve taught me how a man should treat me. We’ve had our ups and downs but I’ve always been daddy’s little girl aka princess aka pumpkin aka the favorite. From spoiling me at a young age, I’m still the only girl I know who had a Barbie Corvette, to being an example of a great husband. The respect, concern and care you have for Yolanda has shown me what to look for. To have the foundation of who I am in the eyes of my father has helped me to further understand who I am through my Heavenly Father.

Daddy, I hope you know how much I love you and what our relationship means to me. You’ve allowed me to make mistakes, move across the country and follow my dreams. If things don’t work out I know you’ll always be there to lend an ear, fianances or even your own two hands. I thank you for my sense of humor, my height, my entire face (apparently I look just like you) and my mathmatical inclination. I wish I had a bit more of your cleaniness gene, your street smarts, your ability to be there for everyone and your strength to keep it together when it seems the world is falling apart around you. On this day and each one to come may you know that I love you, I miss you and can’t wait until our next FaceTime.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!!

Dad happy birthday

I’m wearing what I want when I want! Over the l I’m wearing what I want when I want!

Over the last 6 months or so I’ve been struggling with “What’s my style?” “Sporty” “sexy casual” “vintage”

I was trying to fit myself in a box. I was trying to dress how I thought I should. Today I declare: I WEAR WHAT I WANT WHEN I WANT!

If I want to dress like I’m 20 one day and an 80s mom the next I have the right to do so and so do you!!!

Don’t let anyone even yourself put you in a box especially when it comes to style.

What’s something you’ve been dying to try but it doesn’t fit your current style?

My joy is not up for grabs! There are those who t My joy is not up for grabs!

There are those who think they can steal your joy... DON’T LET THEM!

Keep your joy locked away in a glass box so people can see it but they can’t  touch it!

Let misery keep its own company!
A great fragrance can change your whole mood. Lat A great fragrance can change your whole mood.

Lately I’ve been drawn to floral and citrus scents. I love notes of rose or peony.

And it’s definitely the finishing touch when I’m getting dressed. Whether I’m going out or just to my backyard 😂

What’s your favorite fragrance right now?

I wish I was but the way my social anxiety is set up. 🥴
You ever look at a picture of yourself and say “ You ever look at a picture of yourself and say “That’s me? I did that!” This is that picture for me 😝

I’m a firm believer of hyping yourself up! So today I’m being my own hype woman....

“YESSS SIS”
“COME THROUGH SUN!”
“BISHHHH”

How are you hyping yourself up today?

And yes I’m going to wear this @hanifaofficial skirt til the wheels fall off! 😂
Shoutout to all my brow skin women whose top lip i Shoutout to all my brow skin women whose top lip is darker than their bottom lip. #thestruggleisreal 

This lip crayon from @trestique passed the test: will the pigmentation be enough for my top and bottom lip? The separate built in balm does something to activate even more pigmentation.

And who doesn’t live a good 2-in-1? This is also perfect because now my everyday gloss and balm don’t have to mix with my lipstick colors.

And on top of that I can bring one product with me versus 2 or 3. Y’all I’m one step closer to being able to carry a mini bag 😂

Use CODE: RAVEN for 20% off of orders $30 or more

This is a reminder to get your vitamin levels chec This is a reminder to get your vitamin levels checked.

2 years ago I was diagnosed with Vitamin D Deficiency. I didn’t feel like myself for almost a year prior to getting diagnosed. So much so I actually thought I was depressed.

When I was diagnosed I found out my levels were at a 4 optimal is 30-50.

It’s more important than ever as low Vitamin D levels can weaken your immune system. And melanated folks are more likely to be deficient.

Melanin protects the skin against ultraviolet light. But by blocking the sun’s rays, melanin affects the skin’s ability to activate pre-vitamin D. So the darker the skin, the less vitamin D you produce.

Don’t forget the sunscreen! ☀️

Now I don’t have the best skin but I’m working on it! If you’re new here you may not know but I developed stress acne almost 2 years ago.

Now I get still get breakouts but I’m able to manage them with @rosenskincare and @rawholisticskincare.
