I am on a mission to make fangirling cool since 2019. đNot the lurking in the shadows kind of fangirling but the kind of public shameless gushing that typically grants you severe side eye. Why? Because when something or someone is dope, I tend to get excited! So why not celebrate women that inspire me? In 2019, women celebrating each…

Iâve been existing completely outside of my comfort zone lately. And it would be nice to say that it was by choice but life has a way of forcing your hand. I can proudly say that my patience dramatically improved because both the husband and the tot have sat on my laaaaaast nerve. In fact, as I write this post,…

Iâve been doing my best to raise my son in the best way I know how and lately it has been dawning on me that I am best able to do this only when I take care of myself. For many months after he was born, I threw myself into taking care of my son. Making sure he was fed,…

This time last week, I was packing for my trip to Costa Rica.Its kind of incredible how quickly time flies when you are having a good time.

When your friend asks you to join her on a weekend trip to Turks and Caicos, there is only one appropriate answer. Yes! In my case,  she asked me almost 3 weeks prior to the trip but procrastinating-Dinah said yes, and then promptly forgot to purchase my plane ticket. At the time she asked, tickets were less than $250. Come and…

You guys! I cannot begin to explain how amazing my trip to Cuba was. For one it was a chance to unwind with my girls, there was an endless supply of photo opportunities ( super important for a blogger âș) and the lack of internet truly gave me a chance to live in the moment. It was incredible and I…

In October last year, I came across a photo on instagram that a fellow blogger, Hayet Rida, had posted saying that she wanted to go to Cuba. In my random Dinah way, I commented on the photo and said that I wanted to go too! Within minutes, we were DM’ing each other planning to go to Cuba at the beginning of…

Happy Thursday Loves. Excited to bring you my new favorite winter accessory, the JORD wood watch! When the wood watches representative approached me to review their product, I must admit, I had never seen a wood watch before and I was curious to see how it measured up to my trusted leather strap one. Funny enough, shortly after this, I…

This post is a direct result of being sick with the flu, craving something sweet and being too weak to venture out into the cold to get it. I have my husband to thank for bringing home his germsđ. For some reinforcement, I decided to invite my neighbor over for a baking party. Before you chastise me for spreading the…

So I’ve gotten a few questions lately about my picture editing process and I thought it might be helpful to put all my answers in one place. One, because I am lazy. Two, because I don’t want to repeat myself đ Most of the questions I have relate to my instagram feed so I will limit my feedback to this platform.  One disclaimer before…

It’s officially Fall yal! For me, this comes with the excitement of pumpkin spice everything, leather jackets, Fall boots, Fall leaves, excuses to cuddle and sweater weather! I’m totally here for all of it especially for Fall fashion. I do find that people are too hasty to make a complete switch from their summer clothing by immediately replacing everything with…

If you had to spell out 11 letters of your last name to a phone rep just one time, you would want to change your last name too. Changing my name after I got married was supposed to be an “easy” choice. But convenience aside, it was a sad moment when it actually happened.We just celebrated our first wedding anniversary and…

I stood there in my swimsuit inwardly cringing. We were at Coney Island taking photos for my blog. My friend remarked at how confident l I looked in the photos she was taking. I smiled, but silently asked myself “will I ever see myself how other people see me?” The more I thought about that, the more disappointed I got…
