Sorry guys, I know I am only posting once this week, but I have really good reason.I’m tired, bih.When I get home I eat , Netflix and chill with my daughter only to fall asleep and wake up at like 1am wondering what century I am in.The past weekend I decided to only shoot one look so I could enjoy my family all day.We all did an activity  we needed or something we have been wanting to do.My husband got a much needed acupressure massage, I got a spa pedicure (never had one btw, I’m hooked), and my daughter got to go on a super cool mini train ride and meet her new fave person, Moana.I could not even convince her that it was just an impersonator *sighs in parental.

Being a parent is a thankless job. It’s not a bragging right, but an act of love. So many become parents not for these reasons. It takes more than ‘being fruitful and multiplying’ to be a mom or dad. Parenthood is not something to be taken lightly. On account of this, the last two days have been a whirlwind of emotions and doubt for me.

When life give you limes...wait-- when has life given us limes or lemons for that matter? I can tell you what it has given me, metaphors about food that reflect how we handle hard times.Enough already!  Sorry, sorry, so sorry please forgive me.I am hungry.I'm pregnant .I'm always hungry,lemme go eat real quick.

Ok, I'm back! That hunger is no joke guys! So where was I? Oh yea , food;the limes. The perfect garnish to any summer beverage (I miss drinking...7 more months!) and its color its just as pleasing in dress form.I have never been too keen on green, but this summer I am changing that.I'm always here for Olive (of course),but bright green is such a fun and festive color and brings so much life.Green has always been the color associated with earthy, natural, fresh, and the idea of being reborn.Being with child, I'd say this color was made for me.

Instead of taking my twists out , like I planned in a blind rage, I opted to wrap them up courtesy of Shop Fe-line.My citrus-hued Ankara head wrap was the perfect accessory to accent my dress and keep me from passing out under my long ass twists (that I now regret doing in the HEEEEAAATT of the summer).My wrap is sold out but I have picked out some other fab head pieces to keep your hair off your neck this hell season-- err I mean Summer.

I live in the South and on a nice day in the Summer, its a bearable thousand degrees.Instead of going butt-naked, like I planned before the "knocking up" , I'm doing the next best thing.Showing shoulder and clavicle is all I got right now while I beef up (uummmm food).This off the shoulder dress is the perfect length and the perfect hue to pop against my melanin.I'm glowing out in these streets!!

What accessories go with a sunny citrus palette? Well if its against brown skin, then the answer is brown of course.My brown gladiator sandals are 1,000 years old from GoJane and I practically stole them for $7.50.I paired them with my  leather Selma Michael Kors purse.Speaking of MK, did you hear they just bought the luxury shoe line Jimmy Choo? Chile , lemme just shut my over-mass produced ,reduced-quality,over-saturated-basic-handbag-having-ass up.

My leather choker along with my gold earring really seal this deal.My choker is from the company 4everunicornfashion.Fun Fact: I was asked to be the face of their company and I said YES!!

Look at me holding my lil bump, you cant tell me nothing! #slayingfortwo

So I am back!! Morning sickness and 24 sleepy feeling be gone! I missed you all so much.I have literally been up to nothing other than harboring a little human who has been zapping all my energy and food.I was so pitiful yall.All I did everyday was gag and then go home and sleep for 12 hrs.I had new clothes and I didn’t even feel like trying them on.That is sooooo not me! The lethargy also had me doubting myself like “what if I forget how to put clothes together?” or “what if I just lose my mojo?”.This preganancy has been playing tricks on me. I am officially heading into my 2nd trimester and am ready to get back to the slay. Did you guys miss me?

So by now everyone has heard Wild thoughts by DJ Khaled , Bryson Tiller, and Bajan bae and everything Riri!! I’m not gonna lie at first I was like, “yea, ok I have heard this all before” ;the singing repetition , DJ Khaled yelling ‘another one’ in the back and Bryson Tiller singing Trap Soul all over the place , and not to mention that banging ass Carlos Santana guitar solo *rips off all my clothes. Am I the only one that has the urge to peel off my clothes when he plays the guitar? Really, just me? *looks around  Oh well then. Then after I stopped looking for reasons not to like the song because of what seems (to me) its lack of originality and realized how much it reminded me of how much I love ‘Maria Maria’ by Carlos Santana. That feeling alone made me think of how sometimes reflecting and remixing the past can bring up great feelings of nostalgia as well as bring something older to a newer generation. For that alone I had to download both songs and listen to them back to back.
 

Can I just say how over everything I am this week? Nothing has gone right and frankly I am quite over it.It has really been one of those weeks. Usually I can admit when I am being a little on the dramatic side but I am sincerely over it right now, just OVER IT! Allow me to compla— I mean explain.
 

Well  I have reached my favorite F-word (after food of course), Friday!!! I have been busting my lil humps all week! You can’t possibly imagine all the things I have had on my plate (other than food, of course).Well Monday I was so sick I left work after 2 hours and then as I was at home in bed all day I realized I was over this dry ass fro of mine.So Tuesday I made up my mind to do my hair but that didn’t go as planned but it’s finally done (as of 15 mins ago).I will tell you all about it next week.On top blog posting I am trying to make sure I am eating right because you know, Im preganant.I still had IG posting and blogging duties all while being just pregnant tired and trying to binge watch my latest guilty pleasure on Netflix, The Unbreakable Kimmy Scmidt(I know, Im late).Titus Andramedon is my new spirit animal.Yesterday I was caught up in my daughter’s scalp because it looked like she had ringworms.Of course I blamed those nasty kids at her school, but lucklily the doctor said its more like dermitis.I’m still blaming the nasty kids at her school.My scalp stay on fleek.Today after work I am heading over to my besties house to do makeup for her stepdaughters bday .I also have a really biiiiiiigggg shoot coming up this weekend I have been prepping for.It’s for a magazine guys! *squeals and pants for breath as I am tired just thinking about it.Did I mention the unanswered emails and messages I have yet to respond to ?

2 months in and things don’t necessaritly change dracstically, but more so awkwardly.My body is currently in a roller coaster of hot and cold, I am nauseous and tired all day errday, and my body…Lord my body chile.The first trimester brings the heaviest feelings of yucky inside and out.In addition to battling morning sickness I am now looking at my body like ‘girl, wasup?’
