Happy Monday! Writing this post from our resort room at the Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton Resort & Spa in Jamaica. I wish you could see my view right now because it’s insanely beautiful. I can’t wait to tell you all about our amazing time here next week. In the meantime here is a little peek of the only outfit I shot here. I picked up this fabulous floral kimono from Penningtons right before our trip. Read More »
I am sure I’ve mentioned before that packing is my one my least favorite parts of traveling. Since it’s something that cannot be avoided, finding ways to make it easy has become a priority. Introducing packing cubes. Where have these been all my life? In case you do not know, packing cubes are little pouches that help you organize your suitcase. They make the organization process so much easier. Read More »
What can I say, I am a foodie. As much as I love take-outs, nothing beats a good homemade meal. Most days after picking the kids from school you’ll find me in my kitchen trying to figure out dinner. I do have weekly menus that I try to follow to the teeth, but there are days where I just hop on the internet to find something to make. I am one of those cooks that hardly measures anything.If I make it once, I can make it next time with no measuring involved. For the sake of this post, I made sure everything is measured to make it easy for you to follow.This stuffed salmon is one of my absolute recipes. It easy to make and takes less than an hour. Even my husband, who’s only specialty is boiling eggs can do this one. Find the ingredients and instructions below. Read More »
Happy Monday loves,
One of my absolute dreams is slowly coming into reality- Plus size resort wear are finally available. For the longest time, shopping for vacation clothes for plus size women has been a nightmare for me. I mean, I would spend hours just looking at all the beautiful resort wear on Revolve, knowing that nothing will ever fit me. Even though we are not at that level just yet, plus size retailers such as Nordstrom and Eloquii are taking note by bringing us some beautiful resort wear. Some of them are perfect to wonder around the beach and some are just what you need for an evening out in the island. Here are some of my favorite plus size resort wear
There are only 3 things I wish for on Mother’s Day: Lot of kisses and hugs from the boys and a cute dress for brunch. This will be my ninth year celebrating mother’s day. Where has time gone? Before we know it we’ll have full-blown teenagers. I feel incredibly blessed to have two happy, healthy children and an incredible husband.

I love when these two can get along and watch a show from beginning to end without any fight. It’s called the power of the Ipad and Netflix. Everything has changed from when we were young. Every kid now has one of these little devices on hand to keep them busy. As much as we try to reduce their online intake this is how things are headed now. They spend as much time with these little characters on their Ipad as they would with their friends. For that reason, it’s so important that we suggest shows with positive characters to help reinforce good values. I am sure you are aware that most time kids want to watch everything except what matches their proper age rating. Read More »
Guess who is going to get down and get dirty this summer? Apparently not me. When my husband asked me to come help him clear our backyard to get ready for summer gardening this is how I showed up. Oh yes! Even backyard work has to be done in style.
We’ve been trying to get our back and front yards lawn awesomely lush and green for a while now. It’s safe to say that we’ve made a considerable amount of mistakes along the way. Summer is getting closer and it’ll soon be time to get down with the lawn. We’ve had some time to get ready and plan things out. Over the next couple of posts, we’ll be documenting our efforts along the way and hope that you’ll take the journey with us (husband and I) and possibly share some of your results as well.

I am always looking for inspiration. Instagram has been one of those places where I found the most amazing fashionistas, decoristas and travelistas. As I mentioned in previous posts traveling and taking care of our home are two of my priorities this year. I follow quite a few travel bloggers on Instagram and Snapchat. The fact that I am taken from country to country all from the comfort of my home is unbelievable. What was life before Snapchat? Out of all those accounts I follow, only a few of them are black travel bloggers. I thought it would be fun to go on a quest to find more of them. Read More »
Soft colored handbags are almost non-existent in my closet. I tend to stick to neutral colors not only because they are easy to transition from season to season, but you can also wear them with everything. We all need a little bit of color in our lives, and spring is the perfect time to swap out your neutrals for something on the softer side. Here is a list of some of my favorite Spring handbags available at every price point and fit every lifestyle.
