These last 30 days have been nothing short of incredible. I am so blessed, black, and highly favored!

Sharing this photo from surrealist photographer Scott Mutter because its been such a huge symbol in my life for the past 7 years.

You couldn't have told me that in less than 3 months, I would've been offered a new job, closed on a home, and kicked off so many other incredible things in 2020 let alone in the middle of a pandemic.

While things may not be going to plan, I encourage everyone to remain optimistic, patient, and hopeful. While this year may not be the vision you expected, realize that it can still be visionary.

Our lives are much more valuable than dry wall. We are humans and demand to be treated as such.

:: fall bucket list 🍂::.

Fall is an excellent time to check off a few things to do from your bucket list..
.
From the classics like apple picking and cooking soups from scratch to new favorites such as beer tasting or stargazing, these activities are thrifty, fun, and so much better to enjoy when the weather is cooler..
.
Whether you are exploring solo or with a group, these 41 free and thrifty must try actives are perfect for you. Link in the bio to this fall filled list!

This halter wrap dress by @ralphlauren was a lovely gift from my cousin who knew I could get some great use out of it. She was totally right!
.
Since I started working from home again(new job since the 31st of August 😁) I've made a conscious effort to dress up for work. I've always felt that wearing the right outfit during a meeting, presentation, or on Tuesday makes me feel more confident and ready for whatever the day has to throw my way.
.
What work from home pieces are you really loving right now?

:: “If violence is wrong in America, violence is wrong abroad. If it is wrong to be violent defending black women and black children and black babies and black men, then it is wrong for America to draft us, and make us violent abroad in defense of her. And if it is right for America to draft us, and teach us how to be violent in defense of her, then it is right for you and me to do whatever is necessary to defend our own people right here in this country.”
— Malcom X, Speech, Nov. 1963, New York City

I am pretty obsessed with this #wfh look. The abstract leopard button up is probably my favorite thing about this look. From the billowy sleeves to the small button details, it's a shirt that can easily transition from day to play.
.
What are your favorite work from home or as your roam pieces?

Frankly, I'm over cooking. But find myself super inspired after a recent run to the grocery store. But not just any grocery store, a speciality one located both in the city and the suburbs, @hmartofficial
.
This traditional Korean grocery store chain is the first stop for any and all Asian-based imports and good. Not only will you find an excellent assortment to inspire your next at-home meal, but, you can also grab a meal from the Cafe, beauty supplies, and more!.
.
Have you explored a new groccery store or bought a unique food as of lately?
