WHAT I WORE IN LISBON

About Me

About Me

⁣I’ve needed a minute to think about what I sh ⁣I’ve needed a minute to think about what I share and how I share on this platform. I’ve gone back and forth so much on the topic of Black Women and Luxury. ā €
ā €
I’ve honestly felt conflicted because I love seeing Black women succeed and have amazing experiences - luxury or otherwise. I love that there’s been a movement towards self-love, self-care, self appreciation, catering to not just our needs but to our wants. ā €
ā €
And while I don’t feel personally responsible for anyone’s pocket book, I feel the need to also say- dear sisters, please enjoy your life, but be smart and proceed with caution. This is a tough season for many, and none of this glam life is worth debt. ā €
ā €
You can find enjoyment from amazing experiences that don’t have to cost a fortune. There is so much beauty in things that don’t break the bank. ā €
ā €
It took me a long time to start being financially smart. I encourage you to seek real wealth (for me that's financial security for my kids, that's owning real property; real wealth may mean different to you). ā €
ā €
I will continue to share brilliant moments like this one in the Maldives, because I have worked hard for them, and I am an example of what is possible. And as black women, when traditonal media struggled to show our beauty, our diversity, our abilities, our success- we've been able to find real examples of that in the community here. ā €
ā €
So, the images and the reels are glorious and worth sharing, loving, celebrating, but none of this exists in a vacuum. Hard work, smart choices (cutting out wasteful spending so you can have what you really want & deserve), remembering what’s important, knowing what truly makes you happy. It’s very easy to be distracted - remember your true joy and your real goals.ā €
ā €
And that's my two cents. šŸ¤Ž (didn’t mean to serve long lecture, just feeling Big sis energy).
Be your own hype woman. If that fails, something Be your own hype woman. If that fails, something  in yellow always works for me. P.s. swimsuit is old @andreaiyamah
So we went to check out the Kid Powered Style @cam So we went to check out the Kid Powered Style @campstores x @hm_kids Experience at The Shops at Columbus. Not only did the kids have so much fun, the kids were able to harness all that energy they have (with mamas help) to generate change with the pedal powered Upcycler.

Also kids get to upcycle old clothes into cool new crafts. Kai was working on a custom design, atleast that’s what we’re going with. 

The entire experience is such fun, highly recommend you visit if you’re in the city. In addition, a donation is triggered to @projectlearningtree when visitors bike on the Upcycler - so definitely make sure you don’t skip that part.

⁣Smile!!! ā € Because you want them to not only ⁣Smile!!!

Because you want them to not only have nutritious meals, you want them happy and enjoying them too. That’s why we grab @onceuponafarm plant rich meals from the freezer section during our @wholefoods grocery runs. And they only have to wait 5minutes, which depending on the day, can be an eternity to them šŸ˜…. Always organic, no preservatives, no added sugars #ofarmpartner #FarmToFridge #FarmtoFreezer #ad
Goodness me, sometimes it can all be a lot, a whol Goodness me, sometimes it can all be a lot, a whole lot. Like no time for girlfriends, for hanging out, no time for all those things that you love to do. I’m getting better at making my little moments of joy just as much a priority as all that other ish. So, my question to you: Did you schedule some joy for yourself this week?  #twinmom #findingbalance #lookseasybutitsnot
Give yourself permission to shamelessly capture tr Give yourself permission to shamelessly capture travel moments when you travel. So many people share that they are embarrassed and I’m like- you don’t know them and they don’t know you. I hopped around a fountain at #PlaceDeLaConcorde in Paris, with many other strangers, locals and tourists standing by. And while the best memories are in our heads and hearts, it’s always fun to look back on pictures and video if you are able to capture them. The immediate cure to any discomfort for me is to remember that I’m Living for the moment, I Laugh at myself and I remember that I’m doing these things with Love in my heart. šŸ‡«šŸ‡· #TravelTuesday #SimplyCynTravels #FontaineDesMers #FontainesDeLaConcorde Has shyness, embarrassment stopped you from taking pics/ videos when you travel??
I know people have real problems, but a lot of tim I know people have real problems, but a lot of time, there’s also a lot of stupid stuff we let pile up around the real things. Free up your mental space, clear out the noise and nonsense. Let go of the stuff that you know is no good for you. Promise yourself today, that none of that is worth any of your time. Not today, not tomorrow. Minimize  your load, simplify your life. āœŒšŸæ
And we don’t stop adventuring. Dubai to Barcelon And we don’t stop adventuring. Dubai to Barcelona was a last minute switch up. Why head straight home when we could stop over at a European city. We decided on Barcelona as we last visited 13 years ago. Weather forecast wasn’t as brutal as many other European cities (that heatwave no joke šŸ„µā˜€ļø). We were also in the mood for tapas, Gaudi architecture, colorful festivals and Spanish clothing brands. Check out stories & highlights for more.
