Is The Lip Bar Fast Face Kit Actually Fast?
If you have been following along on my journey then you know two things about me: 1) This year I have been trying new looks with my hair and makeup and 2) I have the tendency to run late. Well, I found a solution to both! The Lip Bar has become one of my favorite beauty brands. I love their bold colors and affordability. They have a Fast Face Kit that boasts that you can get the makeup look you want in seven minutes, using six products! I couldn't pass it up, so I tested it out to see if it was actually fast.

What Makes A Person Your Friend vs Your Acquaintance?
Have you ever thought about what makes a person your friend? The reality of friendships is that there is a hierarchy; even if we don't like to admit it. Yes, the word 'friend' is overused as much as the words toxic and narcissist, but I get it. It sounds harsh to introduce someone as an associate and we are a society of people-pleasers, even when that means over embellishing. We use the word synonymously to mean that we are cool with a person and don't consider them an enemy.

No One Is You And That Is Your Power
We have all heard the cliché about being ourselves. "What's meant for you won't pass you by". "In a world full of copies, be an original". "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken". "Comparison is the thief of joy". I could go on and on. We're always told to be ourselves, to be original, to embrace our uniqueness, that God made us exactly the way we are for a reason, and that each of us has a special gift that we were designed to give to the world. But do we really believe and navigate as such?

Daily Habits That Help Me Drink More Water
Drink your water and mind your business, Sis. That is a statement that I say to myself every time I realize I am not where I am supposed to be with my daily water intake. Lately, that is often. During COVID I have been flourishing in all ways except when it comes to drinking more water. When I was free to live life outside of four walls, I practiced several habits that helped me stick to my goal of drinking half a gallon (64 ounces) of water each day. Even if I was not 100% successful, I made an attempt. I know all of the facts about the benefits of…

My Appearance on Behind The Wheel Podcast
Have you ever virtually met a person and decided that they were your friend in your head? That is what it was like when I first began seeing Derek Oxley’s videos on Facebook! To add some context, Derek is a fellow runner with a personality as big as it is great and he is the host of the Behind The Wheel Podcast. He describes his podcast as, “morning drive time where he highlights the achievements of ordinary runners and endurance athletes who are doing extraordinary things within their sphere of influence”. And yes, sometimes he is literally behind the wheel of his car while he is recording! So, when Derek…

Let’s Talk: My Feature on The Run Wave Podcast
This year has been nothing short of amazing! I have always been blessed with having some pretty awesome people in my circle and this year has been a year of growth and collaboration for us all. A good run girlfriend of mine, Kimberley Williams, ventured into becoming a podcast host this year. Her podcast, The Run Wave Podcast, was created as an outlet for runners to discuss all things running. She discusses topics that can’t be discussed in a 280 character tweet or an Instagram post. The Run Wave is a safe place for Runners to discuss what’s on their mind, vent about things going on within the running community, and…

Nightly Skincare Routine
Are you continuing to take care of your skin this Summer? Good job; I knew you could do it and I’m proud of you. Let’s not stop there. Keep the same energy for your nightly skincare routine as you have for your morning skincare routine. Although it varies slightly my nightly skincare routine is just as, if not more, important as my morning skincare routine. Earlier this year I started having breakouts that left me with dark spots once healed. It was so severe that it began to make me self-conscious! Not wanting to start wearing heavy makeup to conceal the blemishes, I knew I had to invest in a…
