Hi fashionistas ,

Happy new year and happy Wednesday. I hope everyone had an amazing start to the year. I must say that it has been a great kick off for me so far. 

If you dont know snacking is a weakness of mines where i enjoy all things cookies and chips although it is not the best at times. 

So when newman owns sent me over some goodies to try i was excited. For me i knew newmans for their dressings and other items but their snacks i was so unaware about. 

The good thing is that all the products are natural and organic so it gives you a healthy alternative to snacking. 

My favorite are the pretezls and popcorn and raisens which i keep at my office for snacking. My husband loved the peanut butter cups as they were his favorite. 

Do not get me started on the cookies the orange chocolate chip were so good (wishing i had more lol).

Have you tried newmans owns,  let me know would love to hear your thoughts.  Until next time.

Hi fashionistas , 

Happy Wednesday  hope everyone had a great thanksgiving weekend .  I spent it with my family and just relaxing and regrouping.

One of my favorite times besides shopping lol, is to go out to eat with my husband where we enjoy some good food and downtime.

Sometimes traveling to the city is a no go for us so to discover nice restaurants in the neighborhood that give you that city vibe and feel is a plus.

The pine bar and grill located on eastchester road in the bronx is one of those restaurants. They are an italian american restaurant that offer so much different and delicious foods. 

Im all about customer service and they are excellent when it comes to that . I have to say this is my favorite restaurant to dine at. i actually hosted a birthday and family dinner here on the upper level which gives you privacy. 

In the summer they have a lovely roof top that is amazing paired with good music. so if ever in the bronx check it out you will not be disappointed. 

Until next time

Hi fashionistas , 

Before i go on this post is sponspered by dove but all opinions are my own. 

For years i have been using dove as i love it so much. Their deodorants are amazing and recently they have revamped the brand by adding their line of dry spray deodorants which i was introduced to last year at an event and fell in love.

So i was so excited when dove sent me some new ones to try. with my package i was sent detail descriptions of the new line which i love and what it offers and benefits.

Me being the working women and blogger this 48 hour lasting makes it so great.

My favorite is the soothing chamomile. it smells so good lol. what i also love is that although i may sweat the deodorant last throughout the day.

Love to hear your thoughts. have you try dove let me know. until next time.

Hi fashionistas , 

Last week i posted a look but did not go into detail and blog about it till now.

Dressing down for my job is what i enjoy as i do not have to worry and just can be comfortable 

When my blogger boo stylenpoise posted this leopard moto jacket from zara i had to have it cause i love leopard print.

I paired it with this cute sweater i scored from burlington and paired it with leggings and these leopard print oxfords from the june ambrose collection was the perfect fit.

Let me know what you think. until next time.

Hi fashionistas,

Happy Wednesday i hope everyone is having a great week. I am busy as always lol but i wanted to share a different post with you all. As you know my bday was october 8 and i recently turned 33 as someone told me its my jesus year. I have to say that im blessed and thankful.

Before my bday i decided to have some goals accomplish before year 33 and i have to say that im proud to have acheived them. I did not go overboard and have unrelaistic goals but i was determined. so i wanted to share with you my list below.

1. Find a new job where i will grow and develop more skills

2. save more money

3. pay off bills in full

4. Attend more events for blogging 

5. Network more

6. live life

I have to say i was able to check all those things off my goal list. Looking for a new job was priority and i prayed and stayed faithful till the right opportunity came along and now im loving it and know that im going to excel and grow.

Saving money is and up and down thing for me but this year i focus and buckled down and was able to do it which resulted in clearing off some debt double win.

As a blogger there are events that you want to or have to attend and i was shy at times to go but decided if i want to be successful then i need to go out and get what i want. one major was covering nyfw.

Networking has been hard but it was great as i work with brands such as derma e, caress, dove and other beauty brands.

Living life is just that living life cause it is not always about work work and work which is what i always do. so i promise to have fun and enjoy cause life is too short and spending time with my friends and family is what its all about.

So turning 33 was exciting and im looking forward to accomplishing more goals. 

Do you set goals before your bday .  love to hear your thoughts.

Hi Fashionistas,

It has been so long since i blogged and its really because work has been keeping me busy and i just been celebrating my birthday all month long lol.

My birthday was october 8 and my husband decided to throw me a 90’s theme party and i was all for it although im a 80’s baby. 

I told my husband my concept and i must say he did the job so amazing that everyone stated they felt they were at a 90s party.

The guest were able to wear cute buttons that had  different 90s slogans which everyone love. 

The dj played nothing but hits from the 90s. We were dancing all  night and the backdrop my husband had made was great. 

Now for my look i  went to my girl missrockwellsracks on instgram and order these amazing plaid shorts and paired it with a sequin top i scored on clearance at macys. Paired with moto boots.

Shoutout to my girl/makeup artist tiffany check her out on instgram makeupbytiffy. She has been doing my makeup for years and never disappoints. 

This was one of the best and amazing bday i had and so excited for the next chapter. Hope you enjoy. Until next time.

The man who planned and executed this whole thing. My husbandrocks

 

These cupcakes were so good

Thats a wrap 😉😀

Things to Do in Nyc with using Groupons

HI Fashionistas,

Happy Monday. I hope everyone had an amazing weekend. Once again i am here with another post with Groupon. If you saw my previous post than you already know how much i love groupons.

This post is a sponsored post but all opinions are my own.

Living in NYC there is so much to do but it can be so expensive but with groupons there are amazing deals you can catch to enjoy the city life.

I have personally use groupon to do so many fun events such as paint and sip where you can enjoy wine and paint at the same time. This was a great event and it was affordable as well. When it comes to date night me and my husband always likes to try fun and different activities. So when i saw groupon had the paint and sip event i knew we had to try it. Now im not no artist but it was all about the fun we had and the fact we only spent $50 dollars for the both of us made it much more fun. Now without groupon we would have paid $100 a person so we saved alot.

Another fun event for only $14 is a liberty cruise for two which is great as you can see the statute of liberty and enjoy other sites as the brooklyn bridge for example. This is perfect for date night.

For the concert lovers like myself there are also great deals on shows you can see as well which is a plus since concert tickets are very pricy (trust me i know)

Overall the possibility’s are endless but with groupon you will never break the bank or your budget.

What are some events that you purchase through groupon i would love to hear your thoughts.

Hi Fashionistas, 

Happy Tuesday. This post is all about the current facial products I have been lovin lately. I have super sensitive skin so I can not use just any products on my face and especially in the summer months when the weather tends to change my face. 


So when palmers sent me these amazing products to try out I was so excited. I was  provided with their skin therapy cleansing oil and their new sunscreen for face and body. 

So I have been using the cleansing oil for a few weeks and I want to tell you that the product is so amazing. It has no mineral oil and no parabens. It is made put of grapesees, jojoba, rosehip oils and vitamin c. What makes it great is that you can use it as a makeup remover as well. I love a product that does multiple purposes for me. 

The smell is amazing and my skin feels so amazing. It is a plus In my book. 

The sunscreen products are perfect as for a working women on the go I wanted a sunscreen that can really work for my skin and this one was it as it also helps even the skin tone. It also contains Shea Butter and coconut oil which are natural ingredients.

Overall you will not be disappointed in these three products. If you have tried these products I would love to hear your thoughts. Until next time. 

*Disclaimer :The products were provided to me by palmers but my thoughts and opinions are all my own.

Hi Fashionistas, 

Happy Wednesday it was a nice and long extended weekend in which I always state the weekends is what I live for. 

I have not been blogging like I normally do is because if you follow me on social media I started a new job in which I al enjoying and getting used to. 

There has been so many different obstacles and challenges that have been thrown my way but I see such a clearer path my way hence the title of my post.

Stepping out on faith is the beginning but seeing my purpose is so much clearer now in a different element.

On to the look :). This jumpsuit is from last summer from H & m and it is perfect comfortable and of course my favorite leopard print but in different colors. 

I paired it with some denim espadrilles and matching hat. Hope you enjoy the look until next time.
