Simple as that, dolls. Previously, I have shown you how I rock a sew-in weave, it's benefits and why I love that style. I have also made my own wig at home that gives me access to care for my own hair and the longevity of a style I love. Last but not least, with clip-ins I have shown you how versatile clip-ins can be when you want to try new styles and textures without the commitment of a sew-in or work of creating my own wig. It truly is the best of both worlds. I'm able to do my hair for the day or specific event then remove them \u0026nbsp;to care for my natural hair or try a new style!

They have been my go-to for quality hair extensions for years now and I couldn't be more honored to be working with them. Over the next few months, I will be sharing my favorite products and go-to tips and tricks as a new mom with the busiest toddler EVER! \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESince becoming a new mom, one thing I know for sure, when my hair is done I feel better about myself. Being a mom is hard, being a single mom is hard AF! After 14 months I'm JUST starting to get into a stride of \"balancing it all\", if that's even a thing. I have learned what to prioritize and what is not as important as it once was. My hair is one of those things I MUST prioritize. When my hair is done I feel better, I'm a nicer person and I feel more put together....even if everything else is in chaos! 🤷🏾‍♀️ I need a style that's simple, low maintenance and versitile. For me that's a good 'ole fashion traditional sew-in weave.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWigs can be too time consuming with a toddler putting on and off and laying down properly. Braids just take too long, 8 hours held hostage in a chair is just not feasible very often. So a traditional sew-in it is, but WHY you ask? 🤔 For me, it looks more natural and I enjoy having access to my natural hair for washes and less wear and tear on my edges. With the right hair extensions, blending is a dream. I have been wearing Indique Hair for years now and the Relaxed Straight hair is perfect for my flat-ironed natural hair. Installed, this hair mimics relaxed African American hair or in my case, flat-ironed natural hair. This is perfect for me as someone who doesn't have time to flat iron my hair daily, nor do I want to add the heat damage.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiGAofmzBYyegk_AdfvxfRHwjIRdtfHhOQyxN28bQbeada4fWsRcQpOrOtWGdwNpP4-pURMTl41HYs4XNXgV8vTDHAHNSYS25VCEhJphhxMb2F_e3lTtZQqclfo7Qn4Q8w1bHuLljA3K25-fSK2I_S6URrVicYIeoPui-fOx-ZNY3Hf5eRSr7ZuNaUW\/s2196\/IndiquePhoto1.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"2196\" data-original-width=\"1569\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiGAofmzBYyegk_AdfvxfRHwjIRdtfHhOQyxN28bQbeada4fWsRcQpOrOtWGdwNpP4-pURMTl41HYs4XNXgV8vTDHAHNSYS25VCEhJphhxMb2F_e3lTtZQqclfo7Qn4Q8w1bHuLljA3K25-fSK2I_S6URrVicYIeoPui-fOx-ZNY3Hf5eRSr7ZuNaUW\/w458-h640\/IndiquePhoto1.jpg\" width=\"458\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiT_HUWCqSLzQBfQpTU6XyfErXPPkC-zyZ3GSzLK69gI346-PeK-gU7tA2qBnA-zPBewQGyt4tu2v-x67NKTZEQd2n5Bsx9tDHZihj7dmHhj6eTykCFElce4yqWO1u2zJsKFMEQ5bKitvND1R8ZZvyiNeBDMSced2u4f3OS-CMP5If-SCE8YPuUSAcd\/s3088\/IndiquePhoto2.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"3088\" data-original-width=\"2316\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiT_HUWCqSLzQBfQpTU6XyfErXPPkC-zyZ3GSzLK69gI346-PeK-gU7tA2qBnA-zPBewQGyt4tu2v-x67NKTZEQd2n5Bsx9tDHZihj7dmHhj6eTykCFElce4yqWO1u2zJsKFMEQ5bKitvND1R8ZZvyiNeBDMSced2u4f3OS-CMP5If-SCE8YPuUSAcd\/w480-h640\/IndiquePhoto2.jpg\" width=\"480\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003EThis is the hair straight with a middle part.

This milestone is truly blowing my mind. It's making me both proud and disappointed at the same damn time. 10 years I’ve been taking up space on this corner of the internet, 10 years I’ve been sharing my life and style journey. Albeit not the most consistent, it still remains a true passion of mine. Blogging sparked a love for sharing and inspiring others in me that truly brings me joy.

In full transparency, I’m disappointed I have not accomplished the many many goals I’ve had when I started the blog. In short, I’m no where near where I would have seen myself 10 years ago. This is mostly because I know what I’m capable of. I know what I can do and I know I have not given it what it deserved. If I truly tried but didn’t succeed it would be a far less blow than knowing I’ve wasted my OWN time. Imagine being at a job for 10 years and never receiving a raise or promotion.

One that I was very very grateful and blessed to have experienced as a woman. However, it also harbored and created some of my biggest fears and anxiety. For me the fear of miscarriage was REAL! I prayed about it every single day and never mentioned it for fear that speaking it out my mouth would make it actually happen. Childbirth is the closest a woman comes to death and can very easily turn tragic if not cared for properly, not to mention the risk that black women face during pregnancy\/childbirth. Obviously, the majority of pregnancies end in healthy and strong babies and mommies; but the ones that don’t kept me slightly paralyzed. Mix that with the fact that I’m high risk due to age, weight and race and throw in a sprinkle of pandemic and you have the mess that was me for 9 months.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp style=\"font-stretch: normal;

I was slightly over weight but we knew that going into my pregnancy and no other underlying health issues besides my fibroids that were being closely monitored. At about 32 weeks, I was told the baby hadn’t turned yet and was still in the breech position but had time to turn on his own. Because I’m impatient and honestly uncomfortable AF at this point, I decide to go see a chiropractor to help turn the baby and relieve my lower back pain. I see him a total of 3 visits and we try different non-invasive methods to turn my baby, no luck, still breeched.

I have been hyper vigaliant about it since my appointment on Thursday. Also, I should add that my Aunt is a longtime nurse and was aware of my Thursday BP readings. I sit down at about 9am to take my BP before heading to run errands and it says 189\/99. Hmmmm that can’t be right. I’m no medical professional and not very astute on what any of these numbers mean for real but I DO know that seems not just high but very high. I call my Aunt into the room to retake it for me because clearly I’m working the machine wrong or so I thought. She retakes it and gets 175\/90. Still high. Very odd but I feel fine and have things to do so I shrug it off and get to planning my coffee order. My Aunt however is not me. Lol, oh no.

I even thought for a moment, does she have one of those pagers like doctors did back in the day. LOL, I was confused ya’ll. Anyway, the office has an on call nurse who took my call before determining if a call to my doctor was necessary. I told her my BP numbers and she told me to come to the hospital for monitoring. For what I ask?\u0026nbsp; I mean is this necessary I have plans at 2. LOL, yes ya’ll I’m still concerned about my damn party I have planned. Hahaha oh silly me. The nurse tells me very calmly but firmly, no it can not wait, they just want to make sure everthing is ok, she says, I’m sure it is fine but I expect you to be here in the next hour she added. So basically she nicely told me to stop playing and bring my a$$ on, NOW! Hmmmm well ok then. Good thing I’ve showered and shaved already I thought, I won’t have much time when I get back from the hospital to get ready for my party. YES….I’m still thinking about this baby shower y’all! LOL I glance at my Aunt and she looks calm but concerned and I ask it’s just routine right?

By the time my mom and I arrived to the hospital I was hooked up to a monitor right away where this machine took my blood pressure every 10 mins. I remember glancing at the numbers on the screen thinking hmmm that bottom number is still above 90 hun?? 🧐 Within about 30 mins my doctor had arrived (she was on call already at the hospital thankfully) and was explaining to me how dangerous my BP numbers were and that I had developed severe or extreme hypertension and pregnancy induced preeclampsia. From there the conversation went from we need you to stay here for two days to take steroids to develop the baby's lungs before we deliver your baby...... to sorry your high risk doctor doesn’t recommend that and we are going to induce you right now! That was in the span of 20 mins.....20 mins!! My next concern is oh no, the baby is still breeched what does that mean? I start to worry about a c-section because I have been planning for a vaginal birth and was scared to death for them to cut me. After a quick ultrasound to determine he was indeed still breech, she tells me that means you're having a c-section. *deep sigh....then tears* My entire birth plan is out the window at this point and I’m officially worried, in tears and trying to stay as calm as possible.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/--iINlD1x96Y\/YDav0AtUTnI\/AAAAAAAAUws\/yNqqEND1T8Y_vpmKrXvvs2d5SlOwMfihwCNcBGAsYHQ\/s2048\/IMG_5711%2B2.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"2048\" data-original-width=\"1536\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/--iINlD1x96Y\/YDav0AtUTnI\/AAAAAAAAUws\/yNqqEND1T8Y_vpmKrXvvs2d5SlOwMfihwCNcBGAsYHQ\/w480-h640\/IMG_5711%2B2.jpg\" width=\"480\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cp style=\"font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp style=\"font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp style=\"font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003EThe next, what felt like 10 mins, I was visited by the anesthesiologist, his assistant, another 2 nurses and was being wheeled to the OR to get an epidural. I am now being prepped for major surgery with dangerously high blood pressure and at risk for bleeding out due to preexisting fibroids. To say I was scared shit-less would be putting it mildly. I had two teams of people in the room, one for if I bleed out to monitor my fibroids, my OB another OB to assist, an entire NICU team to care for my baby and the anesthesiologist team making sure I don't feel anything or vomit everywhere. It was intense. My doctor was very reassuring and comforting to me and things went so fast I didn't have time to truly truly freak out. My son arrived safely at 12:59 pm, one hour and one minute BEFORE his party. I pray he arrives early for everything in life! 🙏🏾😊 He was born 4lbs, 9 oz and besides being early and tiny, he was just fine!

Ya'll this was devastating to me at the time because I had prepared and researched a ton along side my doula team about delayed cord clamping and skin to skin and had a PLAN, damn it! At the time I was convinced my baby would lack developmentally because we didn't have those things. Now I'm just thankful he arrived safe and sound and I find comfort knowing he will be just fine. \u0026nbsp;I spent 3 days in the hospital and he spent 12 days in the NICU due to temperature control issues. He just didn't have enough body fat to keep his body warm enough. To say it was difficult seeing your baby in a incubator or warm him up would be a gross under statement.

I can't imagine the ladies that didn't take home their babies after 9 months of pregnancy. My heart literally hurts for those families.

I can’t imagine what would have happened if I waited one more day to go to the hospital or if I didn’t take my BP that morning. Please ladies listen to your body and that gut feeling. Speak up.

He told me his name and said he'll see me soon. 🥰🥰 I know, is that not THE CUTEST! 😩 I woke up the next morning and called my mom and a few friends and told them about my dream. My mom believed me right away and she already knew. My mom has been saying I was having a boy before I was ever pregnant. 🤷🏾‍♀️ I guess Moms just know. My friends assured me I would have my girl and the dream was just a pregnancy dream. I still hoped for a girl but deep down I was already preparing for this man child.

I cried AT LEAST 5 times a day for 3 whole days. There is a whole different vision that comes to my mind as a black mother in America about raising a son in today's society. There were no visions of mommy and me manis and pedis or visualizing my future feminist. Instead I had visions of George Floyd, Travoyn Martin and Tamir Rice. The pressures of societal and cultural norms that are placed on young black boys. And of course the most obvious of them all, how can I, a SINGLE WOMAN, raise a MAN? I don't know how to be a man but I surely know how to be a woman. All of these things combined sent me into a tailspin of emotions. I was a WRECK you hear me. On the 4th day, I wiped my tears, stood up straight and got my mind right.

Popping in today to write a quick recap of my first trimester, the good, bad and the ugly. To be honest, before getting pregnant, I envisioned loving pregnancy. I had visions of glowing skin and a perfectly round bump and slaying all the pregnancy looks effortlessly. I figured the ones that made pregnancy look easy were the norm and the ones that had a difficult time pregnant were rare and that surely wouldn't be me! Now don't get me wrong, I'm so very thankful to be pregnant but there are some days (or weeks for that matter), where it is NOT very enjoyable at all. The aches, pains, tender breasts and body changes are all very real. I now understand more than ever the ladies who say growing a human is HARD WORK, it's both beautiful and terrifying at the same time.

A few years ago upon discovery of fibroids in my uterus that would have prevented me from ever getting pregnant, I made the choice to take the path to motherhood solo as a single mother by choice. I chose an unknown\/anonymous\u0026nbsp;donor and went to a fertility specialist to conceive. I was able to get pregnant via medicated IUI (intrauterine insemination) cycle. This was after many bad dates, a failed relationship, 2 fibroid surgeries, failed or missed cycles, countless prayers, years of therapy, and lot of tears to now here, pregnant and I couldn't be happier!\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003EEvery journey to motherhood is unique and personal. Ask any woman that has had fertility issues (1 in 4) and they will tell you it's an incredibly emotional and lonely journey at times. My journey was no different. I'm telling my story to let you know that if you are a single women in your 30's with fertility issues and WANT children, you do have options and you are not alone and I would be happy to be a resource in any way I can to you. Am I nervous and scared to do this as a single mom with absolutely no backup (i.e. child support, weekend visits etc), without a doubt....YES! I would be crazy not to, but I also know that I have so much love to give and not having biological children of my own was NOT an option for me. I have a great support system and a \"village\" of people eagerly waiting to pour into my little one when they arrive, so for that I'm incredibly grateful and blessed.

I picked these up and I must say I am a fan. These are not Day 1 and 2 pads for me, not quite thick enough but for Day 3-5 they are perfect. I love the soothing effect the herbs have. It does not burn but feels more like a mint or mouth wash for your lady parts. I like it, I think it feels fabulous but beware that it’s coming. Not gonna lie when I wore my first one the cooling effect took me by surprise and I thought I was having a reaction until I read the package and realized it was supposed to do that.

I know for a fact in the black community this stuff isn’t really taught from a young age. We have to go through life and learn the hard lessons before we truly learn about this stuff. Let me just say, I have learned the lesson so listen to me when I tell you to START A BUDGET NOW. Do it based on your last paycheck, even if your paychecks are currently on hold. Start with a savings, even if it’s 10 dollars a check, save something! Do you know how handy an emergency fund is right now when you can go buy essentials during this time without thinking twice?

January was my \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.najadiamond.com\/2020\/02\/5-lessons-i-learned-after-no-buy-january.html\"\u003ENO BUY\u003C\/a\u003E month and February was so hard NOT to buy ALL. THE. THINGS! I started this Intentional Buy challenge as a way to stay discipline and focused on building my BEST wardrobe yet. No more of the days of spending mindlessly on fast fashion I know will tire of in a season. My goal is to build a wardrobe that is timeless, classic and built for any occasion.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nSo how did I do the first month abiding by these rules I set for myself. Not too bad if I say so myself. Here are my thoughts.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003EDid I stick to the budget?\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nGood question for sure and the answer is surprising even to me. Yes, I am very proud to say I did stick to the budget. I actually spent $497 to be exact, go me! I had all of January to decide what I was going to buy come February 1st. I had my shopping cart ready to go come February 1st. I had my budget spent by the 3rd ya'll! LOL, I clearly wasn't playin.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003EWhat did I buy?\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nSo I have a haul video coming soon but in short I bought some key pieces I felt my wardrobe was missing and those pieces appropriate for the season. This is where the difficult part come in. What to get now and what to get later? What was a priority for the upcoming season and what could wait? I will do a separate post on how to compile your Intentional Buy wardrobe later but based on a few things I determined the following was a priority.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n- Black Boots\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n- Gold Bracelet\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n- Gold Ring\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n- Cashmere Scarf\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003EWhat did I WANT TO buy?\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nHigh on my list this month was also a black\/dark grey wool coat. I have a camel coat in my current wardrobe so I considered the coat not a necessity. My only dilemma at the moment is am I really going to want to buy a dark wool coat in March or will I have my eye on all the Spring things. I have my eye on \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3aiNAvG\"\u003ETHIS\u003C\/a\u003E one from Everlane so we shall see. What I don't want is to find myself next winter having the same, \"I need a black coat\" conversation with myself.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003EWhat have I learned?\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nI learned that patience and planning is key. Identify the gaps first! Plan out your buys. Know what you need! Also, identify when the sales are and focus on your key pieces ONLY. This is the hard part, sales will make you think you want all the goodies on sale but don't do it doll, stay focused, you got this! \u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003EWhat will I do differently next month?\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nNext month I want to be a little less structured. I want to buy some more of the moment buys. What do I mean by that after JUST saying that planning is key, lol. I mean I have planned out what I want i.e. a pastel colored suit, however I don't know from where or exactly what color. I want to come across it in the moment and love it. I hope that makes sense. Also, I have a pair of white sneakers on my list but I don't know exactly what style. I just know I want them to be totally white. I will do a bit of research and try on a few to see what looks good on my feet and then buy. February I knew what I wanted and from where. For instance I really wanted to try pieces from Everlane so I bought my key pieces from there. Going forward I will be a little more fluid and less stringent with this.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nAnyway dolls that's it for my first Intentional Buy Month Recap.

After what felt like 138 days, \u0026nbsp;January is finally OVER ya'll! Seriously, this month has been ridiculously long. I'm happy to report that my NO Spend is over.

I have a shopping problem. I knew I kind of had a problem but after this month it is without a doubt that I have a shopping addiction. I found that shopping is my go-to activity for just about everything. I'm bored, cool just go shopping. I'm happy, great let's go shopping! I achieved ANYTHING, oh girl you deserve it, let's go shopping! I also found myself very sad to not receive a package almost daily. Amazon had become a daily dose of happiness. It didn't even matter what was coming, the simple fact that something was on the way for me made me feel amazing.

Discipline is a muscle that needs to be worked out often. I have created some very bad spending habits throughout the years for sure. I rarely told myself NO. I rarely planned for purchases and if I did it was never for longer than a month or two. I know this has to stop. For one being disciplined about my purchases allows me to think through purchases and be sure it's something I truly want.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;\" \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;calibri\u0026quot;; font-size: 11pt;\"\u003E5. I NEED very little. The notion that I NEED something has been my favorite excuse for purchasing an item. When I started this challenge I felt anxiety because I didn't feel I could survive unless I had everything I 'Needed' first. Which is essentially cheating so I didn't do it and quickly realized I didn't 'NEED' much of anything outside of a few household essentials i.e toothpaste\/ toilet paper. I also have a LOT of stuff. Stuff I had forgotten about and had tucked away deep in my closet\/cabinet\/pantry. The amount of duplicates I found in my pantry when I pulled everything out to organize. I had 4 bags of chia seeds an ENTIRE bottle of Olive Oil I had never opened not to mention the amount of almost full hair products I found. Pretty sure I thought I NEEDED all those things when I ran out to the store to waste my money on them.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;calibri\u0026quot;; font-size: 11pt;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;calibri\u0026quot;; font-size: 11pt;\"\u003ESo there you have it dolls. My top 5 takeaways from this challenge. In short, am I glad I did it? YES! Am I changed forever? YES!! It felt great to be in control of my money again. That end of the month feeling of 'Where did all my money go?' was not a good one. And worst, it was rarely worth it. I mean I bought crap I didn't give a second thought to and was honestly out of control. I still enjoy spending money but it will be a lot more INTENTIONAL going forward.

I have been disappointed in my current wardrobe for some time now. I am the epitome of “I have nothing to wear”! I sit and stare at my closet and find myself totally uninspired. When I’m uninspired by my wardrobe I find myself not wanting to get dressed at all or just wear my default; sweats. I work from home so this is easy to do. I also find myself turning down invites from friends and avoiding social events all together because I don’t have things to wear that I feel comfortable in. To be fair, it’s not all the clothes fault, I am in a weird place with my body and confidence overall at the moment and it affects multiple areas of my life but that’s another post. In addition to working on my health and doing the inner work, the next thing that affects my mood the most is my wardrobe. I think how you present yourself to the world is often a direct reflection of your mood and how you feel about yourself. When I look good I feel good. So this year will be my journey back to looking and feeling good.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003EMy Goals for this Intentional Buy Year\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Col\u003E\n\u003Cli style=\"font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EMake a LIST. \u003C\/b\u003EMake a list of all the items I NEED and WANT. This list is created after a\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003Ethorough assessment of my current wardrobe. For instance in the pics above I have pulled out some key pieces in my wardrobe. Many items I have forgotten I had and some new items I picked up during the Christmas sales. I have sooooo many clothes and shoes I don't want and have honestly just forgotten about. Doing a deep declutter and assessment will allow me to see the GAPS and identify what I have and what I need. Building my LIST I will start with the pieces I NEED and move on the the items I WANT.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003Cli style=\"font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003ESet monthly budget of $500 p\/month, initially.\u003C\/b\u003E (As my income grows and debt lowers I’m willing to revisit this number after 6 months) Setting and sticking to a budget is very important. For one, it will help with planning and keep me disciplined. Having great style does not mean spending a TON of money. You can also spend a ton of money on low quality items. By setting a specific budget my goal is to make it easier for me to be very intentional about how I spend that money instead of spending frivolously.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/li\u003E\n\u003Cli style=\"font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EIdentify Intent: \u003C\/b\u003EWhat is my intent of this challenge?

I would always rationalize buying 4-5 handbags from Zara (many I never wore) to investing in one quality designer piece that will last me ages. I would ultimately tell me self I could never bring myself to spend that kind of money on a handbag but in reality I DID spend that kind of money…..on bullshyt!

Today is an exciting post because I'm FINALLY sharing my 2019 Christmas Tree. It's the same theme as last year because I just loved it so much! I repurposed the theme by adding a few new things and switching up the ribbon design. I loved this crimped look of the ribbons I've seen on Pinterest (follow me HERE) and decided to give it a try.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nI have this slightly unhealthy obsession with black, white and gold. Seriously my entire house is laced in the color palette as well as my branding for NajaDiamond.com. So for that reason alone I think this tree will be a permanent fixture in the house until further notice. LOL Not only can it be super expensive to start all over with a new theme, my ribbon alone costs about 30 dollars a roll, it can be a lot of pressure to keep up with. That's why I suggest starting with basics or a neutral color palette that will stand the test of time and boredom and use the following tricks to switch it up from time to time.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n1.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cb\u003ESwitch out your accent color.\u003C\/b\u003E\u0026nbsp;For the longest I had the candy cane tree, (I still have it BTW 😉) and year to year I simply switch it up by changing the accent colors from a light blue to green. So far it's helped a lot to make it feel like an elevated version of the same old theme.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n2.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cb\u003EAdd special ornaments.\u003C\/b\u003E\u0026nbsp;To me the ornaments on the tree is what makes it special and unique to you. Each year I try to pick up one or two new ornaments that make me happy and fit my vibe or represents me or the period of life I'm in. Growing up it was my favorite thing unpacking the tree with my Granny because she kept EVERY ornament my mom and uncles made growing up and have the best stories behind each one. When I have kids I'll do the same so their Christmas tree will hold special memories as well.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-qxJz4GLsBlE\/Xfes_J1xKII\/AAAAAAAAUEI\/Q02EAWrH9M43MA-Wn3tqc4WQaqtWzP8QQCNcBGAsYHQ\/s1600\/IMG_3980.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1600\" data-original-width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-qxJz4GLsBlE\/Xfes_J1xKII\/AAAAAAAAUEI\/Q02EAWrH9M43MA-Wn3tqc4WQaqtWzP8QQCNcBGAsYHQ\/s1600\/IMG_3980.jpg\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n3.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cb\u003EChange the top or the bottom.\u003C\/b\u003E\u0026nbsp;This is one I love because something as simple as changing the star or topper and the tree skirt can truly make all the difference. For example, switching out the star on the tree and replacing it with fun sparkly picks \u0026nbsp;can change your tree from classic to whimsical. Or changing out your faux fur tree skirt with a galvanized tree collar or wicker collar can take your tree from glam to rustic-Joanna Gains vibes real quick! Switch it up and don't be afraid to do something different.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n4.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cb\u003EGet creative with your ribbon.\u003C\/b\u003E\u0026nbsp;I mean this is the fun part. The ribbon is totally my favorite part and \u0026nbsp;I have tried it all. I have wrapped the ribbon the traditional way, I have cut and tucked my ribbon, I have curled my ribbon, crimped my ribbon, hung it like an ornament etc. You can weave the ribbon with another ribbon....I mean the possibilities are endless! Step outside the box and HAVE FUN WITH IT!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"margin: 0px;\"\u003E\n5.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cb\u003EPlan Ahead.\u003C\/b\u003E\u0026nbsp;SO if you are dead set on changing up your theme, no problem. I suggest planning ahead and scouting those end of season sales. The best time to buy Christmas decor is December 26th! Check out the left overs from this year and snag your favs NOW. I know I desperately want a new tree. I only do artificial trees because I can't be bothered with the maintenance of a real tree. I want a larger lunch fuller tree as my MAIN tree. The budget didn't allow me to spend 500+ on the tree I would love but I will be looking very very closely to those end of season sales to see if it goes on sale.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-4UG23YOUFdo\/XfeyZwLp9RI\/AAAAAAAAUFg\/lm8eaRzCazI-8FVJqGIa-9-FTk59yzhWQCNcBGAsYHQ\/s1600\/IMG_3973.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1600\" data-original-width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-4UG23YOUFdo\/XfeyZwLp9RI\/AAAAAAAAUFg\/lm8eaRzCazI-8FVJqGIa-9-FTk59yzhWQCNcBGAsYHQ\/s1600\/IMG_3973.jpg\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"margin: 0px;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.najadiamond.com\/feeds\/125044759007224378\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.najadiamond.com\/2019\/12\/5-easy-tips-to-change-up-your-christmas.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/4442295706229354157\/posts\/default\/125044759007224378"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/4442295706229354157\/posts\/default\/125044759007224378"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.najadiamond.com\/2019\/12\/5-easy-tips-to-change-up-your-christmas.html","title":"5 Easy Tips to Change up your Christmas Tree Theme"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Naja"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/05469663081921969241"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-icxns7EWABk\/XfetYdgWdwI\/AAAAAAAAUEQ\/EEq94N2Pgq43mCSGcegEubmLNmpvtlXUQCNcBGAsYHQ\/s72-c\/Facetune_15-12-2019-22-52-23%2B2.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4442295706229354157.post-4580278904299098316"},"published":{"$t":"2019-11-26T13:49:00.000-06:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2019-11-26T14:31:25.455-06:00"},"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Let's Start Over"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"With a new year approaching in slightly over 30 days and the inevitable list of goals and \"New Year, New Me\" declarations are on the horizon, let's get a jump start on a few things, my wardrobe makeover being one of them! 2019 was a year that slapped me around and beat me up a bit. Not gonna lie, I feel bruised and beaten from the year. Most of which has been emotional, mental and full of internal struggles. The good thing about a good fight is you usually arise stronger and better than before. You learn from your mistakes and realize the moves you should have made to defeat your opponent. So with that I'm ready for 2020, ready to put my best foot forward and ready for the punches 2020 throws my way.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nWe will discuss New Year goals and what's to come another day but for today we will chat 'Starting Over'.....With my Wardrobe that is. Yes, I'm about ready to throw away EVERYTHING in my closet and just START OVER! I need a complete overhaul, a reset, a FULL MAKEOVER. Seriously, someone send help! I feel I don't even know what my personal style is anymore. What do I like, what flatters my body shape currently? What makes me feel AMAZING? Hmmm🤔 All great questions that I will be answering in this New Year. The Naja that started this blog 8 years ago has changed and so has her style. So if you don't mind, I'd like to take it back to basics and figure it out all over again.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nHas anyone else been feeling like they are in need of a major reset?

Every single item in this look in my opinion is a wardrobe MUST-HAVE. A good pair of jeans, black blazer, white tee and versatile shoe. This is me laying the foundation.

I need a everyday black blazer and work black blazer to round out my collection.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThis white tee is from Levi's and great quality so far.

Listen, I am a makeup lover through and through but I do not beat my face that often. I work from home so I don't usually have the need to get all dolled up everyday. I will be challenging myself to get dressed and do my face daily. For no other reason besides it makes me feel better when I look better.

My diet these days is one of the HARDEST things for me to get ahold of. I mean I eat ALL the things, everything I know I shouldn't but do it anyway. This is something that will simply need to be mind over matter and a true test of discipline but I can do it. My issue is my addiction to sugar (Coca-Cola) and fast food. I mean the stuff doesn't even taste good (except Chick-fil-A, Chick-fil-A is bae!) but for some reason I continue to eat the stuff. I have a beautiful kitchen and all the tools, cookbooks and food so there is no excuse. So what's the plan? Good question…it's simple. Start small and meal prep Mon-Fri and allow\u0026nbsp;the bad stuff on the weekends. I don't want to be too strict and then get into a cycle of beating myself up when I'm not perfect. Nope. Start small, have grace with myself but be prepared. Most of my bad eating habit come from not being prepared with things easily available at home. Because everything needs to be chopped or defrosted I take the quick and cheap route instead. No bueno, do better Naja. I would love to be in a place where I eat mostly organic and eat at home 90% of the time. I'm actually a pretty good cook and don't mind it so I would ideally do that more. My goals are to try new recipes, eat whole foods, actually enjoy vegetables and NEVER pick up a Coca-Cola again.

I simply didn't care that the sweatpants I threw on to run to the store had a hole and 3 stains on them. Or that I haven't put on a stitch of makeup or plucked a single brow in a month at least.

I think this is perfectly acceptable in things you know doesn't align with your vibe, goals, lifestyle etc. But then there are times when you have to step outside your normal and safe comfort zone in order to grow.\u0026nbsp;I once had a guy stop me at a red light (we were both driving) to ask me for my number. He went on to explain that he had just seen me at the local store but he was just leaving the gym and felt unsuitable to approach me. He promised he wasn’t following me and instead took us both being beside each other at this red light as his second chance to ask me out. He politely asked for my number and if he could take me out sometime throwing in the fact that he looks totally different outside of gym clothes. Y’all the light turned green and I panicked. I politely said thank you for the kind gesture but I wasn’t interested and drove off. Doh!\u0026nbsp;🤦🏾‍♀️\u0026nbsp;So let me tell you why I regret that moment. I truly believe in what’s meant to be will be and all that Jazz however (comma), -Yes, The comma after however is said out loud. I said NO to that man not because I didn’t want to say YES or I was uninterested. I regret that because the situation and scenario in which he asked me was not one I had experience with or thought to be “ideal”. I’m annoyed at myself because I didn't step outside of my comfort zone and say yes to the awkward proposal. It was not a bad gesture, he didn't hit me with that YO, MA\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;LET ME HOLLA ATCHU line, he was nice, respectful, complimentary and honest but I had this differently idea of how he \"should\" have asked me out and said no.

Then what happened to the fashion posts? Why you don’t take pictures anymore?? 🤔\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;\"\u003E\nYa'll listen, these are the questions I have been asking myself for some time now.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;This internal dialogue has been on repeat for me for years honestly. I deemed September my #SelfCareSeptember and sat myself down to answer those ongoing questions.\u0026nbsp;I needed to answer them so I can move forward. The insane part is I've been stuck in the same cycle for far too long.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;\"\u003E\nSo when I truly sat down to ask myself those questions. The answers were simple, I don't take and post fashion pictures anymore because I don't have anything to wear. I don't have anything to wear because I haven't bought anything I feel comfortable in besides sweatpants in ages. I haven't bought anything besides sweatpants because I'm unhappy with my body.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;\"\u003EBOOM, there it is!!\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"\u003EYou are unhappy with your weight so you don't shop or put the effort into your appearance the way you used to. This size (she a 16 ya'll) has me feeling like I don't look right in certain clothes. Or shall I say clothes I USED to wear. A new body will require new clothes and perhaps a new style. Certainly a new appreciation for your shape, Naja.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;\"\u003E\nThen I took this one-on-one conversation a bit further and asked myself how can we work past this and fix it? Then myself said to myself clear as day…..\"Love me through it and be patient\".\u0026nbsp;\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003EBOOM, there it is again!!\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"\u003EListen, the easy answer would have been to say \"Lose weight\" but the truth is I've tried it and then failed and then felt worst and beat myself up even more. At the end of the day ya'll, Naja is tired of fighting with NAJA! It's a battle that will only be won with kindness and patience. Period. So then I said to me was, \"What you have the power to do in this moment is CHOOSE to love yourself at any size. You can CHOOSE to work out or NOT workout but either way you need to love yourself the same.\" 🤯 Now don't get me wrong, I won't take all the credit. People have been telling me this FOREVER, my mom included. But it really doesn't matter coming from anyone but ME. The message hit different when it's from you to you boo.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;\"\u003E\nSo I went out and did this thing. Actually I opened my laptop and did this thing, me and dressing room mirrors don't get along! 😠 I went shopping, I bought clothes that I thought were cute and were in MY size. Say whaaaattt! I know, I know. #groundbreaking Even better, I actually liked them, felt cute and best of all felt confident. Fashion was back to putting a smile on my face like it used to and I couldn't be happier. I will say that it requires a LOT more patience and looking to find what I like but retailers like Rainbow, Ashley Stewart and Eloquii make it easier to find. I'll do another post on my favorite Plus Size retailers because Rainbow had me shook, but for now just know that she's getting the hang of this thing.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;\"\u003E\nSo back to my original question. Are you still a Fashion Blogger?? The answer in short is yes and no. My interest have grown far beyond fashion over here on my little space on the internet and I plan on sharing them all. My first love is still Fashion but Beauty and Home Décor is a close second. I also want to share more lifestyle things as well. This could be everything from what I'm loving at Trader Joe's at the moment, my love for photography and even my mental health or wellness journey. So more lifestyle topics are on the way and technically you can say I'm a Lifestyle Blogger.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in; text-align: center;\"\u003E\nIn the meantime, to ya'll reading this, please be nice to yourself, seriously.

Lol let me stop, no but seriously it's been a while but I'm here to show you a glimpse into my home, #DiamondDomaine. Decorating my home is one of my favorite things to do. My home is my happy place and safe haven and somewhere I spend waaaay too much time in. lol, no seriously someone come get me out this house! I've gotten the itch to just CHANGE IT ALL recently. Like, I want new furniture, rip up carpets, paint walls…..ALL OF THE THINGS! But for now I just decided to add pumpkins, lotssss of pumpkins.

And honestly I love the luxx elevated look of them. In the past I've went the Halloween-y décor route but this year I wanted something more simple and classic and less cartoon-y. Don't get me wrong I LOVE Halloween but lately I'm really looking to invest in more timeless, elevated décor. So I set out on the hunt for these gorgeous velvet pumpkins, I was determined yall.

I know it's been a while but I thought what better way to start back blogging than to bring you along my birthday trip to Tulum, Mexico. It was a super last minute trip, I ended up rolling solo and it was the absolute BEST trip ever! Never be afraid to travel solo, life waits on no (wo)man and you never know what's in store for you on that next adventure!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nMy advice to anyone that desires to travel on their own will always be, DO IT, DO IT NOW!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nHowever, I do have a few tips and tricks to do it safely and without incident.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003E1. \u0026nbsp;Do your research of the area.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\nHave a plan of where you want to go and understand the different modes of transportation. When you are lost do your best to NOT look like it. Ask your hotel the best way to get to the Hotel or for directions around the area. I typically trust them more than a stranger on the street. Quick story, when I arrived in Rome I had a Taxi try to charge me 100 USD for a 6 min ride to my hotel. (Note: I did pay $40 which was still insanely expensive🤦🏾‍♀️) Had I not known what it SHOULD cost and stood up for myself that would have been a very expensive mistake made. I could have also jumped on a $3 trolley that would have dropped me off at the corner from my hotel. I didn't know that at first so I did that when leaving. It was super easy and a total deal.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-23KEFeIx-6U\/XRDhq-z2VdI\/AAAAAAAATm8\/HpO9gvCndXo0w9hUUClRS0YfZL1zgPW6ACEwYBhgL\/s1600\/IMG_9563.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"851\" data-original-width=\"1242\" height=\"219\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-23KEFeIx-6U\/XRDhq-z2VdI\/AAAAAAAATm8\/HpO9gvCndXo0w9hUUClRS0YfZL1zgPW6ACEwYBhgL\/s320\/IMG_9563.jpg\" width=\"320\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003E2. Drop A Pin, Sis!\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\nThis one might seem obvious but you need to actually tell people where you are going. Give them flight and hotel information and notify them if plans change. This can be done by sharing with loved ones or in this day and age a simple check in via Facebook works as well. I sent a simple text like the one above to a few people and that was it. Just think about the dialogue if GOD forbid you come up missing. Do you want your loved ones to say, \"She left yesterday sometime to Mexico, I think Tulum but it could have been Cancun🤷🏾‍♀️ and she was staying at some hotel in the Jungle.\" Ma'am, what?! Sis, help them and YOURSELF out and provide details.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-VO6h03gviZA\/XRDhuXa1_YI\/AAAAAAAATnA\/bzuWTrmMBqc1OcOqTUiokEaaPrR1Oa8HwCEwYBhgL\/s1600\/4C0B2614-25CD-45A9-B2A0-E800E4ED78C3.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1600\" data-original-width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-VO6h03gviZA\/XRDhuXa1_YI\/AAAAAAAATnA\/bzuWTrmMBqc1OcOqTUiokEaaPrR1Oa8HwCEwYBhgL\/s1600\/4C0B2614-25CD-45A9-B2A0-E800E4ED78C3.jpg\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003E3. Pack light.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\nNo seriously, you want to be able to handle your own bags. Pick pockets and thieves target people that need help with bags and while MOST people are actually generous people that would not mind helping you, there are some that will find you easy prey. Also, bag handlers will offer to help you but best believe they will expect or demand a tip after.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nOne of my biggest travel regrets was over packing for Italy. I visited about 5 cities in 2 weeks and it was HELL lugging 2 FULL-SIZE suitcases through the streets of Venice. If you've ever been to Venice you know exactly what I'm talking about. Cobble streets, stair cases and bridges at every corner oh and let's not forget the lovely task of getting on and off a water taxi. Dear sweet Jesus, I truly don't know how I made it. Also, train stations (which was my primary mode of transportation) do not always have elevators or escalators up and down, so moving from one track to another meant MANY, MANY stairs! Oh the struggle!! Trust me no outfit is worth that stress. Pack what you need, nothing more.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003E4. Update your bank and phone plan.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\nSo, my bank does that very secure (and usually inconvenient) thing of locking down my account when my account has suspicious charges and will decline the purchase. This has happened to me at a pet store in my neighborhood or when my account was hacked with 12 dollars in porn charges (they were not mine, swear!). It has also happened to me at dinner in Aviano, Italy with co-workers and NO cash on me. Very embarrassing. Not only do you want to be in a foreign country with no cash (rookie mistake) but also not a working card and hours before you bank opens. Just notify them you will be out of the country and to allow charges for a certain period of time.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nAlso, your phone is essential. You need a way to communicate while away on a solo trip. Even if you are only able to make local calls that is fine. Either purchase your company's international plan for your trip, take a portable Mi-Fi device or download the What's App. As long as someone at home can get ahold of you and you can get a message to them. I will admit I fail to do this just about every time. Doh! I land in Mexico and my phone doesn't work. Not only can I not make calls but I can't connect to the internet to access Facebook or emails. Don't be like me, be better than me!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003E5. Last but not least, trust your gut!\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\nIt typically won't stir you wrong. If you feel uneasy in a situation get out of there immediately. DO talk to strangers, please. I have met some of the dopest people on my solo trips but listen to your spidy senses if something feels 'off' to you. Whether it's someone being way too friendly or aggressive or if you end up in a sketchy area of town, be careful. Don't get too drunk, don't walk down dark alley's alone, ya know the usual common sense advice applies here. Be smart, Be safe, but most importantly, have FUN and enjoy your trip, you deserve it!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nIf you have other travel tips please leave them in the comments below!

No, seriously y'all. NOTHING.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nI know what your asking right now. Naja, how are you a fashion blogger and have nothing to wear? Well, good question, let me tell you how I got here and how I plan on finding my way. So if you're lost like me go ahead and follow these 5 steps to get back to being your BEST style self.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThe funny thing about personal style is it's ever evolving, changing and growing as YOU do. Lots of things affect your personal style to include your lifestyle, habits, likes\/dislikes, mood etc. My style as a stay at home mom living in rural suburbs is completely different than that of a single woman working in corporate America living in a MAJOR city. For me, going through a bit of a depression this last year combined with my weight not being where I would like it to be AND compiled with the fact I work from home 80% of the time, made for a toxic cocktail in the style department. I looked up and my style evolved to sweatpants, leggings and overall giving ZERO F*@#s! This would be fine and totally cool, IF I was cool with it. But I'm not. How I look affects how I feel and I'm ready to start feeling amazing again. So on top of the internal work I'm doing I'm also tackling my wardrobe. But first, I have to figure out a few things, like what is MY PERSONAL STYLE?? Here are 5 steps to get you going in the right direction.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003E1. Who is your style MUSE?\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nWhat's a muse you ask? Simply someone that inspires you. Who's style in this world inspires you the most? Pick 2-3 celebrities, bloggers, or real life person who's style inspires you OFTEN. If you live for everything Rihanna puts on her body than she just might be your style muse. I personally can't get enough of Kahlana Barfield, the Twiced Blessed bloggers and Olivia Palermo to name a few.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003E2. Gather inspiration.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nI tend to head to the Inspo MECCA of the inter webs; Pinterest. Really anywhere that will help you organize your inspiration pics easily. Pinterest is an amazing resource for style inspiration, so create an account\/board, follow your FAVs (you can follow me \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/najadiamond\/\"\u003EHERE\u003C\/a\u003E) and start saving anything that catches your eye. Also, browse Instagram (you can follow me \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/najadiamond\/\"\u003EHERE\u003C\/a\u003E) for rich fashion inspiration. Just pick a hashtag and let the journey down the rabbit hole began lol. My favs are #styleinspiration #LTKstyle #curvygirlstyle You would be so surprised what will unlock your creativity. Think you've thought of everyway possible to style a white tee? Head to Pinterest and I assure you someone else has styled it in a way you never thought of. Get inspired girl!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003E3. Identify your body type.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nListen very carefully dolls, this is a big tip right here. You listening? Ok, good, here it goes. NOT EVERYTHING WORKS FOR EVERYBODY. *clears throat* Let me say that again. NOT EVERYTHING YOU LIKE WILL WORK FOR YOUR SPECIFIC BODY TYPE! And guess what, that's ok. The goal here is to feel comfortable and confident in what we put on our body. I don't feel confident with my lower FUPA area on full display. (not sure what a FUPA is? lol google it) Anything tight on that area makes me super cringe. All these plus size queens wearing body con dresses and slaying my edges with they coca-cola shapes and flat tummy give me life, it truly does. But it only took me flocking to buy exactly ONE of those dresses and not looking NOTHING like them to understand my body doesn't look good in those pieces.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003E4. Pick a key piece.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nWe all gravitate to our favs, it's just nature. For instance, are you a shoe or a bag girl? Do you love outwear? Are you a jewelry junkie? What is YOUR thing? Pick a key piece you always gravitate towards and maximize it. Focus on that thing when you're out shopping, it will become your \u003Cb\u003Esignature\u003C\/b\u003E. For me it was shoes, boy did I love a good heel! I would rock the cheapest bag and midtier outfit with a $800 Fendi pump. I mean nothing really beats a sexy shoe in my opinion. However, my tolerance for any heel over 3 inches is becoming weary by the day and I tend to gravitate towards a sneaker or a flat. *insert GASP here* So maybe I need to be a sneaker head instead of a Fendi freak? Hmmmm we shall see.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003E5. Experiment.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nFashion should be fun and not taken too seriously. There is no right or wrong. It's really about what makes you feel fly? You can't really mess up personal style. It is what you make it and is an outward reflection of who you are. It's okay to play around with your style, be free, have fun and above all; OWN IT!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nSo that's all I have for today dolls.

Do I jump in with a makeup or outfit post after 5 months of silence? Do I explain, \"What happened\" to me and the reason for my absence? Is one even necessary? Do I even have the energy for that? Answer to all of the above; NO. Do you guys ever just get off track? (I know I'm not the only one) Do you ever get so far away from your intended path that you look up and ask yourself, where the hell am I? Not in a confused but happy to be here kind of way lol. Nah more in a, HOLY SHIT I'm in danger and need to get to safety kind of way. I feel like I'm in that place as of late.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nI started my blog as an outlet to express my love for fashion and makeup and document my journey of discovering my personal style and inspire others along the way. It then grew to my home on the internet to express myself in other things like my love for home decor, life events and my evolution as a woman. I stopped short on many things as the internet is a tricky place to navigate and many people aren't as kind as they should be. But honestly that only left me feeling restricted, the pressure to seem 'perfect' and always put together; inauthentic to a point as at times I'm a WHOLE HOT ASS MESS, and that's ok. Then somewhere along the lines I didn't know how to start again. Asking myself, \"where do I start, what do I talk about, does anyone even care anymore?\"\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nSocial media has become nothing more than a web of lies for likes and it's exhausting. Then there are those who are truly inspiring and influencing things that matter while doing what they love and supporting themselves doing it. I want to be the later. If I had to articulate a brand mission statement, it would be I want my brand to be one that inspires and influences you to live your best life on your own terms. My favorite people are those that are unapologetically themselves, in a world full of people trying to be like the next that is beyond refreshing. So here's to letting go of what others say your life should be or look like and just fucking DO YOU! I miss sharing, I miss inspiring, I miss this community, I miss writing, I miss beating my face for no reason at all other than to tell y'all how much I LOVE this new lipstick, I miss creating pretty pictures, I miss creating, period. If you still wake up everyday with a passion for something, why would you ever give it up? For me it was because I let the outside 'noise' become louder than my own voice. So let's try this again, let's get back on the horse and back in the saddle and this time, Naja, run your OWN race. Block out the noise and just do what you love. Let everything else happen as it should.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-fUbDD4UT69I\/XKykQyGvk-I\/AAAAAAAATh4\/pM_PTAnNFp0JXdUQZ0EI0JFYg59jyZkKQCLcBGAs\/s1600\/fullsizeoutput_1d0.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em;

I finished my home office back in September but never posted the pics before well, who knows! I could have decided not to post these pics for something as simple as the wires are showing behind the desk or the lines in the carpet aren't straight or because I forgot to put a picture in a frame. Well here it is months later and this space has already changed and these poor pics nearly went to waste.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nHere's the thing, for the next 21 days I'm going to be choosing progress over perfection! The picture isn't perfect? Post it anyway! Posting something and getting better with time is much more productive than waiting FOREVER to do any one thing. Be sure to follow me on my Instagram \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/najadiamond\/\"\u003EHERE\u003C\/a\u003E because \u0026nbsp;I will be posting every single day for the next 21 days. I know that doesn't seem like a lot to most bloggers and it shouldn't. But me, on the other hand, has a habit of posting once a week if that. I haven't set a goal for my blog just yet but I know planning out my Instagram content will ultimately\u0026nbsp;allow me to be more organized with my blog content so it should be a WIN WIN. I truly struggle with consistency in ALL things but especially on social media. I plan on changing that going into this New Year. Nothing wrong with getting started on your 2019 goals a little early.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nPlease let me know your thoughts down below and I would love to know what goals you're\u0026nbsp;getting started on right now!

This step will require a bit of patience and vision. First, it is likely most of the good stuff is sold out after Christmas. However, if it’s not you can score some pretty amazing deals once Christmas is over. For instance, if you know your current tree is on its last leg and you will need to replace it next year it might be a good idea to do that now while it’s on sale for 70% off. You will thank yourself for being prepared and saving a few coins along the way. \u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\nTip#2: Use coupons! I typically get 70% of my Christmas decorations from Micheal’s or Target. Both of them I have the app downloaded on my phone with post notifications turned on for coupon deals. My favorite coupon from Michaels is the 50% off your entire order. It is a gem and I feel they have the best stuff but you need to shop early.

Long time no chat my loves! It's been a minute but today I have someTHANG to share with ya'll. Fall has arrived and while I'm on my current fitness journey (more to come on that later) I've been having fun finding affordable, fun and chic options to add to my Fall\/Winter wardrobe. To my surprise, one of my current favorite places to shop is none other than WALMART. Yes, WALMART! If you haven't browsed around their clothing section in a while, \u0026nbsp;I recommend you do so in the near future. I found a lot of trendy pieces at crazy affordable prices I think you all would love.\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\nA couple of my favorite Fall finds is this super cozy fleece pullover and khaki green leggings. I love that this pullover came in a size wide so I can be extra comfortable and have room for layers underneath. Not to mention this thing is sooooo soft and warm. It also came in 4 colors because whenyou find a good thing....buy it in every color!? Isn't that the motto?? No? Just mine? Ok moving on to my next favorite, these leggings. The leggings I picked up because 1. I'm in love with khaki green this season and 2. the design was super cute to me. I will say the fit is not as great as my Fabletics leggings by no means but they are comfortable and very on trend. I also work out in them with no VPL (visible panty line) issues. They do tend to slide down a bit and I have to adjust them more than my higher quality leggings so keep that in mind.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\nI styled this look with a striped turtleneck underneath and brown ankle booties to elevate the casual look.

It's been a minute and I'm trying to do better. If you've been around these parts for a while you know I purchased my first home about 2.5 years ago now and have been updating and making it my own ever since. Today I'm sharing with you a DIY project I've been wanting to do in my kitchen for some time now. I always felt my kitchen without a backsplash lacked interest and personality. It literally just looked incomplete and bothered me A LOT. After getting quotes from several contractors for well over 800 bucks to tile the tiny space, I decided to take a crack at it on my own. Buuuuttt I'll be honest, I took a short cut. I decided to try the 3D peel and stick subway tile. My logic went a little\u0026nbsp;something like this.....spend a hundred bucks and love it, YOU WIN! Or, spend a hundred bucks and you hate it and spend the 800 bucks to get it done professionally anyway. You're out of a hundred bucks but at least you have the piece of mind knowing that you at least TRIED it on your own.....I STILL WIN!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nSo off to measure and order my materials I went. I also watched every YouTube video there was showing you the best way to apply the pieces. Fast forward 3 months later (procrastination Queen here folks!) and I finished my project. I will be doing a video of the application process soon but in the meantime please enjoy pictures of my new pretty kitchen backsplash.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nIf you are a homeowner or DIY'er like myself, what are some projects you have coming up soon?

Welcome back to the blog boos! Today, I want to chat about something pretty personal that's been weighing on me heavy for some time now. You want to know the REAL reason I stopped blogging? In all honesty, it's because I got FAT! I feel like I've sugar coated it in posts and make a joke about it in passing. My way of deflecting or hiding my own insecurity. If I make a\u0026nbsp;joke about it or act like it hasn't happened you won't notice this size 16 frame. Hmmmm yeah ok, girl.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\nHere are some pictures I took this weekend and although I felt good in this look and better than I had in months being out in public, when I checked this pics\u0026nbsp;I wanted to crawl back into my sweats and hide. Normally, I would take these pics and NEVER post them on my social media and quietly untag myself if friends posted them on theirs but enough with that! Something has got to give and I CAN NOT hide forever. I just celebrated a birthday last week and life is just too damn short to not LIVE yo life! So in honor of my\u0026nbsp;new commitment\u0026nbsp;to just LIVE, Naja, I'm posting the pics and keeping all the tags!\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\nIf we've learned nothing else this week with the passing of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, depression and mental health is so so important to keep in check. I have found myself fighting this battle quite a bit in recent years and it's something that you must FIGHT against every day. It's not easy and anyone who says that it is, is a WHOLE LIE! You have to combat the negative thoughts with positive affirmations, surround yourself with good people, avoid the darkness at all costs and chase your light (joy) relentlessly.

No, seriously, how is it May 2018 and I have yet to put up a blog post this year let alone pump out any content. Let me be clear, I do not blog just for you guys. I blog for me. It is my happy place and corner of the cyber world that is my own and my goodness do I miss it. Honestly, truly. Let's just start from the top of the year and get you guys caught up so we can proceed with all the dope stuff I have planned for this year!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nJust a little back story. I took about 9 months off in 2017 and in those 9 months I got my iiiiisssh together, mentally. I was exhausted from my last job and honestly just needed. a. damn. break. I thank GOD I was in the position to do so and feel so much more refreshed and excited about the future because\u0026nbsp;of it. I had got to a place where I was on this hamster wheel and couldn't get off. I was just running a race but getting absolutely NO WHERE. I was sad, depressed and felt trapped. I knew I needed to make a change and fast. What I didn't plan for was getting off the wheel and not moving all together\u0026nbsp;but sometimes GOD does that. He stops you in your tracks to realign you for the greater good. I needed it, so needed it. When I felt ready, I went back to work. Yes, I got a job.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThe difference is I got a job that I actually enjoyed. I've been in my career field for about 14 years now and have ALWAYS went where the money and notoriety was. I went to the big companies because of the name and how impressive it would look on my resume or Linked In profile. I was proud and privileged to make great money but I hated the work. Here's a Pro Tip for ya: Do work you enjoy, you may not be rich but you will be happy and that's better than rich! This job makes me happy and I like it so a lot so far.

The palette is\nwhat stood out the most to me so I snatched it up. \u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\nThe warm color palette is full of rich fall colors in this\npretty compact case complete with full size mirror and smelled like peachy goodness!!\nI’m a sucker for the smell good and I was not mad at the peach scent.\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\nSo, let’s get into this palette shall we. It comes with 12\ncreamy matte shades ranging from beige to dark brown to berry shades. It has\ngreat transition shades and brow bone highlights to shades that pop like my fav\nPeach Sangria. I would say if you love matte shades and you love warm shades\nthen you will love this palette. It is highly pigmented, very little fall out\nand super blendable. I realized I don’t have much Too Faced products in my\ncollection but after this I will be adding more for sure.\u0026nbsp;\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003C!--EndFragment--\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.najadiamond.com\/feeds\/6546039191067259170\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.najadiamond.com\/2017\/09\/too-faced-just-peachy-mattes-palette.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/4442295706229354157\/posts\/default\/6546039191067259170"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/4442295706229354157\/posts\/default\/6546039191067259170"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.najadiamond.com\/2017\/09\/too-faced-just-peachy-mattes-palette.html","title":"Too Faced Just Peachy Mattes Palette Review"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Naja"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/05469663081921969241"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-zT3c0jGotbI\/Wc5ENK-kdSI\/AAAAAAAAQZg\/wyN3O1kMKPwWqLDuIME2lrLNLwqN34MSQCLcBGAs\/s72-c\/Too%2BFaced%2BJust%2BPeachy%2BPalette_2%2B-%2B2.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4442295706229354157.post-8625486125096253843"},"published":{"$t":"2017-09-13T12:57:00.001-05:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2017-09-13T13:40:28.391-05:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"fashion"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Wardrobe Basics"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Back to Basics: Must-Have Wardrobe Basics"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-_gYK25KD8Ww\/Wbl7ctMCpxI\/AAAAAAAAQIE\/DuSkdtBmQYMZEDQCcf6SRiehMvV4DAnGQCLcBGAs\/s1600\/Add%2Bheading.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1102\" data-original-width=\"735\" src=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-_gYK25KD8Ww\/Wbl7ctMCpxI\/AAAAAAAAQIE\/DuSkdtBmQYMZEDQCcf6SRiehMvV4DAnGQCLcBGAs\/s1600\/Add%2Bheading.png\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\nHey Dolls, welcome back to Day 3 of the 21\u0026nbsp;day\u0026nbsp;Back to Basics challenge!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nToday we are tackling the wardrobe. If you are anything like me, every morning you are faced with a closet full of clothes but NOTHING to wear. For the last few months, I simply give up and throw on sweat pants, gross I know. The sheer effort of constructing an entire outfit was just too much for me. \u0026nbsp;To be honest it often is when you're going through something. It shows in what you wear or how you present yourself to the world. For\u0026nbsp;me, if I look good I feel good. So best believe not spending the time to feel cute and confident before I leave the house directly affects my mood.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nMy goal is to keep it simple, like everything else in this challenge, and stick to the basics. I went through my current wardrobe and pulled together my go-to pieces. I guess this would be my version of a capsule wardrobe. If you're not familiar with a capsule wardrobe check out this blog \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.un-fancy.com\/capsule-wardrobe-101\/what-is-a-capsule-wardrobe-anyway\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Ehere\u003C\/a\u003E. To explain it simply, a capsule wardrobe is a collection of pieces you compile and pull from when getting dressed. It is usually for an entire season and contains a limited number of pieces to include clothing, shoes, and accessories in some cases. For me, my capsule wardrobe will not be a designated amount of pieces but rather a\u0026nbsp;color\u0026nbsp;palette and scheme of simplicity. I have really been drawn to black, white and grey tones lately so that is the\u0026nbsp;color\u0026nbsp;scheme I will be sticking to for the remainder of this challenge. Now if something amazing catches my eye then I have no issue straying a bit but these pieces I've put together has me pretty confident for the remaining 19 days of the challenge. Hell for the entire Fall season or year if I was really about that black and white life!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv\u003E\nSo where do you start?

For example, when you feel stuck, uninspired or sad most often the cure is to JUST MOVE! Simply getting up to take a walk, call a friend or in my case write a blog post can be the hardest thing to do when you are in a funky place. While not the easiest thing to do the BEST thing to do is to...JUST MOVE.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThese last few months I found myself wandering aimlessly, confused about my direction in life, questioning my purpose. We've all been there I know I'm not the only one ya'll! Life has it's ups and downs and it's all part of the process to get us to that magical place called 'our Destiny'. Luckily I've had much more ups then downs and I know no matter what the BIG guy upstairs has my back! #teamJesus\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nHowever, I still need to do my part on this end. No one can change your life but you. It starts from within. No matter how many friends or family I've had encouraging me or trying to pull me out of my slump, I wasn't going to budge until I, Me, Naja, aka Naja Diamond, Yours Truly was READY to do so. How does that old saying go.....you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink. So so true. You have to want it for YOU. Period.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nWith everything in disarray, and I do mean EVERYTHING! Not being confident about my style, or my body, hell my health overall is a damn mess with my skin breaking out and all (Coca-Cola will do that to you :-\/). I was too busy complaining about the things I didn't like rather than doing something about it. Something had to change! If you want different results, you have to change the ingredients. (HELLO, Joyce Meyers reference! lol)\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nSo I decided to wipe the slate clean. Go back to the drawing board. Clear the noise and the clutter of what things SHOULD look like or SHOULD be and just go back to the basics. Keep it simple. Starting today I'm starting a 21 day 'Back to Basics' challenge. Nothing crazy or complicated. It is literally just to help me, get up and get going. I'm starting with 21 days because I know me, it won't be long before I'm trying to add too much to my plate but taking this time to rebuild my foundation is important and if I need to make it a 30 or 60 day challenge to get that foundation back strong than that is fine too.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\nAbout the challenge:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003EFor 21 days my plan is to...\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n1.

My absolute GO-TO look for the last few months has been a pair of jeans and a fun tee. I try to stay away from the basic basic tees and opt for one with some fun details. This tee from H\u0026amp;M with a ruffled hem couldn't be more perfect! I just love it down to the color fit and all. I wish I had it in every color but thta might be a tad too boring for me.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nFor a look as simple as this I like to play with different accessories. Today, I pulled this fun straw bag I've had in my closet since last year and my favorite summer find from last year these cognac wedges. \u0026nbsp;Can you believe I found these at Forever 21! They paired perfectly with this simple look to get it the perfect injection of personality.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nFinding pieces I feel comfortable in has been one of my great tasks recently. With the right items in my wardrobe I'm able to pull together a great look with ease.

Have I seriously not done a blog post since May 8th? Well let's just back it up to that point and catch ya'll up!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nWhole 30 Update:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nI'm breaking one of the rules by telling you this but I can NOT lie to ya'll. Whole 30 was HARD! Like, real HARD! So many restrictions and so many rules.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nI basically made it to day 13 on the diet. I did EXCELLENT up until that point. Caffeine headaches had gone away and I was getting somewhat of a groove for what I liked and could eat but then something happened. I allowed myself ONE cheat and BAM it was over. I had made this delicious salad and yummy whole 30 approved wings and purchased this SUPER expensive (8 whole bucks!) whole 30 salad dressing. Got good and ready to sit down and eat when I decided to 'TRY' the 8 dollar, non-dairy ranch salad dressing that whole 30 said I can eat and boy was it GROSS! It was awful and I was mad....BIG mad! Mad I spent 8 dollars on trash, mad that I had a new bottle of Hidden Valley ranch in my ridge and couldn't eat it and super MAD that my dinner was now ruined from that awful taste in my mouth.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nI quickly began to re-evaluate this tortuous diet I have subjected myself to (I'm dramatic, it wasn't THAT bad LOL). Why? Was this truly necessary? You don't even have food allergies. This is dumb Naja! Put the good ranch on dem\u0026nbsp;damn wings and call it a day girl!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nSo there it went....my commitment to whole 30 was a wrap. Gone. Done. Finished. I ate my wings in peace with the GOOD ranch and regret not one single part of it. :-)\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nLet's see what else happened.....\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nJune 5th was my BIRTHDAY!! Woo Hoo!\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nExcited and Blessed to see another year for sure but with all birthdays, come a time of reflection. Time to reflect on the previous year, where I am with my goals and if my New Years resolutions are on track. Needless to say I have some work to do. I need to step it up in the worst way and step it up I WILL do. Not just with my blog, that part is obvious. Other areas that need some work right now are physically, mentally and spiritually. These things don't just fix themselves, you have to work at it EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. It won't be easy and will require a ton of strength, discipline and focus no doubt. But there is no other alternative because being unhappy is a choice that I no longer choose.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nSo that's it, in a nutshell.

Whole 30 is basically a diet focused around eating Whole Foods in an effort to cut out food addictions and identify allergies or food sensitivies. I have been uncomfortable with my weight for some time but I also felt tired ALL. THE. TIME, was having stomach issues and pain in my knees. After much research I determined this was the diet for me. Ultimately, it is a kickstart to a much healthier lifestyle for me and after reading the rules and benefits I determined this was the diet for me!\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\nThe rules are as follows:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u0026nbsp;NO SUGAR\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\nNO ALCOHOL\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\nNO LEGUMES (BEANS)\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\nNO GRAINS (WHEAT, CORN ETC.)\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\nNO DAIRY\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\nNO 'CHEAT' BAKED GOODS\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\nNO WEIGHING YOURSELF\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\nThat's basically the gist of it.

I had 2 slip-ops and in the world of whole30, slip ups are not allowed and you FAIL the program. I will admit that I did not FULLY read the rules of this program before I started. Sadly, I purchased the book skimmed through the basics and checked out some recipes that I knew I could live with and jumped in. I did not do ALL my research.

Do unto YOURSELF as you would do unto others. Not sure why we as humans will have sympathy, compassion and understanding for a stranger but not for ourselves. You are worthy of the grace you would extend someone else. You would never (at least I hope you wouldn't) go up to another woman and tell her to her face that she is ugly, fat and stupid. You wouldn't dare. So why do you do it to yourself daily?? That woman looking back at you in the mirror is worthy of the same respect you would give another. Pray for her don't put her down.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n2. Remember your wins. We are often so focused on our flaws that we forget to congratulate ourselves on our wins. Never forget your accomplishments because your so busy pouting about your failures. We are often so focused on where we're going that we forget the treacherous path we conquered to even get that far. Next time you forget take a moment of reflection and remember your journey up to this point.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n3. Speak words of affirmation. Ok now hear me out...this really works! I used to see people doing this and was always skeptical thinking to myself does that really work? Can repeating the same thing over and over to yourself actually make your body do something or make your mind think something? The answer is YES! Tell yourself every single day that you are awesome, you are loved, you WILL be successful for just a few moments at the start of your day and see what happens. After all, if you can tell yourself the bad words over and over, \"gosh I shouldn't have done that\", \"I'm never gonna pass\", \"I'll never lose this weight\", what will it hurt to try it the other way around?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n4. Do something nice for yourself. It can be something small. My suggestion is always to take a nice bath with a good book or buy a new lipstick and wear it boldly. I have to be careful with this because I like to buy stuff (haha don't we all) and will give myself ANY excuse to do so. So my action of doing something for myself usually doesn't involve me spending money. A nice bath or talking a walk at a park I keep passing or cuddles with my puppy all counts as DOING something nice for Naja.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n5. Forgive yourself. Ok now this is a big one. You will fail at times...often. You will most certainly fall short once or twice but you must always remember that you are HUMAN and you were built with flaws. I am particularly hard on myself because I truly know me, I know what I'm capable of. I am incredibly smart, strong, resilient, creative and resourceful; you have to be to have overcome some of the trials and tribulations that I have. So when I \u003Cb\u003EF\u003C\/b\u003E up or fall short I'm hard on me because I know I could have done better. But the thing is we have to fail to learn the lesson and you have to learn the lesson in order to grow. GOD forgives so you should too, start with yourself.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nWhat are some ways you dolls are nice to yourselves?

This is where family and friends stay when they come to visit me. Since I live about 40\u0026nbsp;mins\u0026nbsp;from DC I tend to get a fair amount of visitors regularly. I found making this large space into a suite for them was super easy and convenient for me and a more comfortable option opposed to trecking luggage and all up to the 3rd level where the bedrooms are significatly smaller. My goal was NOT to break the bank, in fact I kept it very budget friendly\u0026nbsp;hunty! *High Five Me!* \u0026nbsp;I staged the space with items I already owned,\u0026nbsp;DIY'd\u0026nbsp;myself and other\u0026nbsp;IKEA\u0026nbsp;finds that wouldn't break the bank. My goal for the space was inviting, cozy, and comfortable on a budget. So tell me\u0026nbsp;HOW'd\u0026nbsp;I DO?!?! Leave me your thoughts on the space in the comments below.

I worked for one of the largest IT firms in the world, not the US but the WORLD, Craig! My job as a consultant was to travel all over to help clients solve their real estate management problems with my management program. Travel that has taken me as far as London for 2 weeks and as close as Arkansas. My client was one of the largest retailers in the world and we were implementing my program to ALL international markets, the travel opportunities were endless. It wasn't long before I was on a plane every single week. Oh, and the money, let's just say I was 100% satisfied in that department.\u0026nbsp;\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv align=\"center\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv align=\"center\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 11.5pt;\"\u003ESo here I was 15 years into my real estate management\/ IT career working for one of the largest IT firms in the world with one of the largest client in the world. I should have been ecstatic, I'm still young so I should have been hungry. This was a career defining position to say the least. Now I say all that not to brag but to outline the magnitude of pressure that was on me. To say it was stressful and fast paced is putting it mildly, that project was INSANE! The stress level was through the roof and the pace was unrealistic at every moment. On a plane 5:45am Monday morning (sometimes Sunday night), arrive at client site, work 12-hour day, hotel to eat, shower and check company emails I was too busy to answer during the day, sleep, wake up and repeat again until Thursday when I'm back on a plane by 2pm and home by 11pm. Sprinkle in midnight calls with the India team and respond to emails that have come in from the China team now that they are awake and you have one TIRED Naja. Everything took a backseat, hell at times even that was full and the only room was in the trunk. Working out was hard, eating healthy on the road was SUPER hard, a social life was IMPOSSIBLE. I was miserable and fading quickly.\u0026nbsp;(For any consultant reading this knows that life all too well, it’s not for everyone)\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv align=\"center\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv align=\"center\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 11.5pt;\"\u003EHow I knew it was time to leave. Everyone has that one moment of clarity at least once, you could describe it like a movie. The exact moment when you just KNEW. The moment I KNEW this life was not for me and I would have to leave hit me like a tragic freight train, impossible to ignore. GOD does that to me at times.

Working away one morning when I hear a shout in the office, \"Does anyone know CPR! Someone needs CPR!\". I didn't move. Didn't even look up. I remember saying to myself as I very slowly pushed away from my computer, \"I know CPR but let me finish this email first.\" It wasn't until someone came into the conference room with no windows they kept my team tucked away in before I got out of my chair. I moved to the door to see what was happening and a co-worker had collapsed. I moved closer to the commotion where my co-worker lay on the floor while another co-worker performed chest compressions on him. They asked us to stay in our rooms to make room for the ambulance that was on the way. At this point I remember praying, \"Please Lord let him get up, Please Lord let him be ok\" repeatedly I said in my head. I knew him, worked with him every single day. He was a stable member of the project. You see the pressure wasn't just a lot on me, everyone was feeling it. This project was huge and visibility was high from every angle, we were all under a microscope and expected to perform at 1000% every single day.\u0026nbsp;\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv align=\"center\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv align=\"center\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 11.5pt;\"\u003EAfter the ambulance arrived and took him away an announcement was quickly given that grief counselors were on the way and people were free to go home if they needed to. I walked over to a colleague’s desk and asked her if she was going to be okay or if she needed to go back to the hotel room and she looked at me with a confused face and said, \"Why, what happened?\" She had no idea what had just taken place the last 20 minutes because she was on a call the entire time and never realized the commotion. This was a completely open bay work space ya'll with half wall cubicles, how did you miss the calls for CPR, the commotion and the AMBULANCE that just wheeled out a person...HOW SWAY?! I thought it was crazy until 5 mins later my boss asked me to come to the conference room for our morning meeting. Wait. We're still having that?? This man SHOULD have been in that meeting with us and he just went to the hospital and we are carrying on like business as usual? Yes. Just like that. Not a single meeting was cancelled, not a beat was skipped in anyone's day. I was appalled. I was confused. Most of all I was sad and worried about my co-worker. I knew in that exact moment that I would not nor did I want to stay at that job. I don't want to work for a place that wouldn't even stop a meeting for me if I stopped breathing and collapsed out of nowhere. I don’t want to live a life where I am working to the point of death for someone else’s dream or victory. My co-worker never got up. He never came back to work and he never left that hospital. He had a stroke that day and died about 2 days later. We later had someone have a stressed induced seizure in the office and others simply left because the stress was too much.\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv align=\"center\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv align=\"center\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 11.5pt;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;From that day on, I made up my mind and started planning. I would not die doing something I didn't love for a company that wouldn't even stop a meeting for me. \u0026nbsp;Before I completed my last day, I had gained a ton of weight, I stopped keeping track long ago. I was having heart palpitations from the stress and anxiety I felt every day, I’ve had more than one panic attack in the women’s bathroom stall and almost daily meltodowns with close friends and my momma. I was diagnosed a pre-diabetic...again! I couldn't even walk a flight of stairs without getting winded. A MESS. All of that was bad and I perhaps could have been managed it a bit better on my end with some boundaries and changes in habit but my true problem was I had lost my JOY, I felt like a shell of myself and was simply existing instead of living.\u0026nbsp;\u003Co:p\u003E\u003C\/o:p\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv align=\"center\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv align=\"center\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: 11.5pt;\"\u003EToday is 2 months to the day I quit and honestly, I've used this time to recover mentally.

I'm super excited to start this week off with this post about my fav red lipsticks. I am no stranger to rocking an old NASTY red lip! I jump at the chance to do so but I understand how difficult it can be for ladies of color to find the RIGHT shade. Not all red shades are created equally for us brown beauties. I have compiled a list of my favs that I'm sure to compliment our skin tone. Here are a few tips I have for picking the right shade.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n1. \u003Cb\u003EKnow your undertones.\u003C\/b\u003E Do you have cool or warm undertones, are you more yellow tint or red?

Let’s see, I was in the process of building my first home when I got laid off my job. A job I hated and was miserable at but paid me a pretty penny and truth be told I wasn’t ready to let go of at the time. Did I mention it was my birthday. Yeah, that was a pretty shitty one, HAPPY BIRTHDAY here’s a pink slip! I was at the end of my lease and in the process of packing up my 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 1300 sq ft apartment (size is important in this story, bare with me) so my life was in boxes. With no job and no immediate plan I felt it best to let go of my home. My beautiful, beautiful home I had dreamed of owning one day. My home with every fixture and feature picked out by yours truly. I was devastated. So with NO job, NO home and NO place to go I found a smaller (that’s a joke, this place was a closet at 541 sq ft!) much cheaper apartment to move to while I ‘figured it out’. I was devastated. Totally confused and lost.\u0026nbsp; SO where most people would just get another job and move on, I was at a crossroads I felt. Was this the time to go out on my own and start the business I wanted to? Was this GOD telling me to switch careers, did he not feel I was ready for a home, was there something better to come? Maybe this is a good thing, Naja? But how?! You’re moving backwards, 31 with no job living in a 541 sq ft apartment with absolutely NO direction or idea of your next move.

I was a go getter my whole life. I had a plan my whole life. I had up to that point achieved everything I had put my mind to and excelled at it. I hated this confused, ‘helpless’, broke Naja. Anyone that knows me, knows that I HATE being broke and my lifestyle is EXPENSIVE. I spent 5 months unemployed, trying to figure it out, tried to listen to GOD’s voice instead of my own. I budgeted like a beast, I ate like one too, I prayed like one as well. I gained weight, I got sadder and sadder. What do you want? What are you doing with your life? This is what you go through in your 20’s Naja, you should have this shyt figured out by now. I wasn’t very nice to myself during this time looking back. \u0026nbsp;Then there were some great things that came out of it. I joined a local church that I love. I got stronger and more resourceful, there is something powerful in making something out of nothing and pulling yourself out a hole. Most importantly clarity did come. Peace did come.

I soon didn't like the brown clutch with my shoes so I changed it. And finally, I felt it just looked a lil boring and needed something else so I added the vest. There ya go. Done.

text-align: center;\"\u003E\nIf your like me at all your skin has taken a bit of a beaten this summer with all the sun and sweat and in need of some TLC. I spent a lot more time poolside than I usually do and in makeup this summer and I can tell my skin has had enough! With a big event coming up this weekend I will be getting my skin back in shape. Here are a few of my tips for smooth like Cashmere Skin.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\nAll these products can be found at Ulta and is a personal favorite with the exception of the \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1MwedgE\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Ecucumber gel mask\u003C\/a\u003E which I'm dying to try! Like how refreshing does cucumber and gel sound?? It is an extreme detoxifying hydrator with is exactly what we need to renew and refresh our tired skin.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n1. Cleanse\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\nThe first step of my 'Cashmere Skin' routine is cleansing. I personally love the purity line by Philosophy. I snagged the entire set last Christmas and have been obsessed ever since and still have a ton left. I take a quarter size amount of the cleanser on my \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1JfwkX8\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EClarisonic Mia 2 brush\u003C\/a\u003E and deep clean my skin. This brush is THE best at going deep in the pores and pulling out all the impurities normal face washing doesn't get. It's an investment at about $150 bucks but well worth it in my opinion.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n2. Exfoliate\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\nNot gonna lie this has got to be my favorite step. Why? I just love to feel the difference in my skin once I remove all the dead skin I never knew was there. Some days I take the exfoliating skin wash and give my skin a gentle massage. It has tiny beads in it that gently scrub the skin in a hurry. Other days I will skin the Clarisonic and use the microdelivery peel. This stuff is seriously GOLD for my skin. It's a 2 step process with a paste and activating liquid you use together. This stuff is like a microdermabrasion treatment in a jar. The paste contains tiny micro crystals that removes every bit of dead skin leaving your face smooth as a baby's bottom. NO LIE! It can be a bit harsh if you use it with the Clarisonic so I only use one or the other so I don't over irritate my skin.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n3. Hydrate\/Moisturize\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\nNow that you have stripped your skin clean you need to bring back some of that moisture. Here is where I would apply the cooling \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1MwedgE\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Ecucumber mask\u003C\/a\u003E to the skin which your skin will surely thank you for after the scrubbing. Rinse and apply either the Hope in a Jar moisturizer from the Philosophy kit which is really good for the skin but I don't live for the smell. I usually just skip straight to my \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1gUb8uN\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EJosie Maran Argan Oil\u003C\/a\u003E and massage it into the skin. Now I have oily skin so I was a little \u0026nbsp;nervous about adding oil to my skin but it has great benefits and even helps reduce my natural oils a bit. It absorbs into my freshly cleaned skin beautifully leaving me nice and hydrated. I usually do this at night and wake up with glowing skin.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n4.

Today I'm calling this post Scandalous because that's the name of my lippie. Scandalous by IMAN cosmetics is the most gorgeous RED lippie. I recently did a whole lookbook of my favs from IMAN \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iQAytL9CcCI\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EHERE\u003C\/a\u003E. Check it out when you get a chance dolls and don't forget to subscribe to my channel.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nClearly that's the focus here right....the lippie....hmmm yeah ok...lol ;-) I know I'm not the only one guilty of playing dress up and testing the lighting in their new apartment on a random Sunday afternoon....right?! I snagged this lace maxi number from Forever 21 a few weeks back with plans of using it as a pool cover up or a night out on the town. I have yet to have a place to wear this number. I don't know about you but that's one of the most frustrating things to me, to let beautiful clothes sit around waiting for the perfect moment to rock them. Well this is my equivalent to wearing a ball gown to the grocery store. I'm doing THE most on this Monday morning because I feel like it and thought these pics came out pretty so I decided to share.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\nThis maxi is very Kim K inspired and I'm obsessed with it. I didn't completely style it in these pics as I would probably belt it with this gorgeous gold belt \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1EjOSzW\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EHERE \u003C\/a\u003Eand rock higher heels like these and top it off with a cool leather jacket. What do you dolls do with the beautiful clothes collecting dust in the back of your closet? I encourage you to wear them 'Just Because'. You can wait forever for the 'perfect' moment but what's more perfect than NOW. Get dressed up, get gorgeous and strut your stuff boo!

Coming to you today with another look from my 30 in 30 challenge. I added this vest in my modified wardrobe collection because I wanted coverage but nothing too hot like a jacket since it is still the summer. This sleeveless denim vest was perfect and adds a bit of flair with the jeweled pocket. I love how easily it jazzes up this otherwise fairly simple look. I would totally wear this look for shopping during the day and happy hour at night by adding my white strappy sandals! I am absolutely loving neutral tones, they are so much easier to work with. I have this skirt in gray and black but also want it in Olive, Tan and White.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\nOh and please don't mind my legs I snapped these pics after shooting this look and the lace up heels left an imprint on my legs.

I added crop tops to the bunch because well it's summer time and crop tops are the summers version of turtle necks in my humble opinion. They are super versitle with the ability to go with anything and be layered if neccessary. I added a black and white one just to be safe.

Hope your weekend was amazing. I'm coming to you today continuing my 30 in 30 challenge. I have challenged myself to wear ONLY 30 pieces from my wardrobe for the next 30 days. I picked this super cute striped dress as one of my staple pieces, it's versatile, comfy and super cute. I went for pieces that can be dressed up or down and this piece surely fits the bill. I also can't wait to wear this with booties and tights in the fall\/winter months. Be sure you're making your wardrobe work for you in multiple ways.

Be very mindful of what you occupy your life with dolls, they are the things that make you who you are. Sometimes you have to clean out the junk.

SO with that being said I'm scaling back on my wardrobe and living off only 30 pieces NOT including accessories because I mean this girl is OBSESSED with jewelry and refuse to play favorites.

I must say so far so great! Go to the site and check it out. Basically how it works is you pick a plan and they send you the pieces of your choosing accordingly to your plan. You recieve your pieces, wear them, wash them and return them to do it all over again. You are charged a flat rate for the month and can return and exchange as often as you like. Very similar to Rent the Runway in my opinion.
