September Letter from AF: Don’t Spread Yourself Too Thin

I came up with this month’s motto after perusing Eva Chen’s Instagram feed last month and noticing how she has…

Transitional outfits for the win 🖤♠️This wa

Transitional outfits for the win 🖤♠️This was not the outfit I had originally planned for girls’ night but this spring weather is playing games. However, it can’t everrrr cramp my style😝 Here’s a breakdown:

Since it was just a *bit* rainy and on the cooler side, I decided to wear my oversized @msgm hoodie as a dress, paired it up with my Bottega Stretch Sandals (clearly not a rainy day shoe but we dodged the rain😏) and my Balenciaga mini city bag (love this bag so much and it holds a lot. I even had an umbrella in there).👌🏾

💁🏾‍♀️Hair: Y’all I’m so happy my bob is back. I did a half-up style bc wearing it down did not pass the vibe check with this hoodie.

Life, lately 🌱April was a slightly rocky month

Life, lately 🌱April was a slightly rocky month but I made it through and so ready for what May will bring. 🌸 As the saying goes: “April showers bring May flowers” 🤞🏾

Here’s a few favorite photos and moments that brought me joy from my April camera roll:

🌈 These @aminamuaddi shoes was one of my shopping highlights this month. I was on a hunt to find these in my size and boom, the universe proved once again that it has my back. I feel like a Black Cinderella when I have these on.

🍹Dinner and brunch dates with my girl Jelly @_anjelicatiffany We didn’t get great pics at dinner this night but I stole this one of me from her stories 😂

🌷One thing about me, I’m gonna enjoy tulip season while it lasts. These neon tulips was by far my favorite bunch in April!

🧥Some of my best outfits never really make it to the gram. This off-duty errands look with my new fave @mango trench coat was one of my faves this month. I was just going to @wholefoods and the nail salon

🐶🐾 Listen, one thing about DJ, he will forever be in the mix. 😣

Candlelit showers and baths will forever be my jam. Burning my @lafco Star Magnolia candle a lot these days. It has a beautiful floral scent that reminds me so much of the flowers blooming in the spring time.

🥺Still having a “pinch-me” moment over this @xonecole feature. Huge thanks to my community for rocking with me, pushing me to live in my purpose. I LOVE y’all! ♥️♥️

Bye, April. ✌🏾

Are you ready to bloom this May?

@xonecole I’m so honored to be featured on your platform. I’m still in disbelief!! Thank you for recognizing me.

As I work on diversifying my content even more and begin to build fresh content on TikTok, there are challenges that remain constant as a Black creator in the beauty and lifestyle space. To navigate, I find joy in remembering my purpose, staying true to my intentions and the gratitude for the community I have on every platform I’m on. Y’all truly keep me going!

Every day I wake up, I think about how I will continue honoring my unique journey and how I will remain focused on the path God has created for me. Every piece of content I share is in hopes that it will help someone else. All I want is for someone to see me and know that no matter what they’re going through, though sometimes tough, there is beauty in the process and your story matters!!!

Thank you @sheiscelestee for recognizing my contributions and raising more awareness about this topic.

The feature is linked in my bio. This is such an important conversation to be aware of as well as the incredible stories of the other creators featured. We all deserve to be seen and heard.

✨A little March dump: + I love me a good pair

✨A little March dump:

+ I love me a good pair of kicks and I’m a mini bag kinda girl through and through. Thoroughly obsessed with this @balenciaga mini. It was actually my Christmas gift to myself. I just haven’t opened and used it until this month lol. And these Jordans, I meannnnn. ⚡️⚡️⚡️

+ @macyswineshop got me loving white wine again. I’m a red girl. This Sauvignon Blanc was a vibe. Did you get your free wine set? The link is in my bio. 🍷

+ Y’all know I love me some kombucha! This @synergykombucha Strawberry Lemonade takes the cakeeeee! Try it and let me know your thoughts.

+ @traderjoes tulips for the win! Gotta love tulip season. 🌷💐

+ This @gisou honey infused hair oil is liquid gold. ✨I definitely underestimated this product until I tried it for myself. FYI: A little goes a long way.

+ My last DIY arrangement for this month. A hydrangea bouquet always does it for me. 🤌🏾 P.S. There’s a hydrangea hack in my floral highlight that may help you keep yours looking alive for more than 5 days. Thank me later! 😉

+ This last image by @spiritdaughter resonates deeply with me. IYKYK. March, thank you for pushing me and providing me with everything I need.✨ April, I’m ready for you!

What were your favorite things or moments for March?
