Miami with Beyonce and Jay-Z!

Hello lovelies!

Hope you're having a wonderful day so far! I had a busy but very fun week since I was able to take a little time off for an impromptu trip to Miami to see my queen! I was lucky enough to get tickets given to me by a friend from the On the Run Tour with Beyonce and Jay-Z! My cousin and I went and let me tell you, it was absolute perfection!

The concert was so well put together and featured so many of my favorite songs from both of them! I loved the personal touches they made to everything and the story line that they had for a video that was playing throughout the whole show (Bonnie and Clyde obviously!). To finish it off, they did a really personal section at the end showing their life together with their daughter and even their wedding! I can't stop gushing, I was a sap and started crying because it was so perfect and they were so cute together!

The concert did focus on other themes though and Beyonce was all about the female empowerment, body image, and feminism! Loved that. There were written messages displaying lyrics and even defining what feminism is! Some of the favorite things I remember:

-"Why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and not boys?" -Flawless
-"Perfection is the disease of a nation" - Pretty Hurts
- "I'm a diva, best believe her, you see how she getting paid? She ain't calling him to grade-up, don't need him, her best maid."

And let's not forget Jay-Z. He was on point and it was just so great seeing them together just killing it! They didn't try to overshadow the other and you could tell they were having a good time being together.

 My Queen, Beyonce!

 OOTD Breakdown: Tank-Stache Haus (http://stachehaus.bigcartel.com/) L, Skirt-Target, XL

There was so much love and the process of being in a relationship which I thought was just so amazing. It really was the best three hours of my life! Now that I had my little trip, I need to get back into the swing of things and keep my videos and other fun stuff coming! Stay tuned for what I have going on. :)

Going Out OOTD and Birthday Musings

Hello lovelies!

It's been a hot minute since I've posted a video. Unfortunately life has gotten in the way, but I'm back! Check out my new OOTD video here --> Going Out OOTD

I wore this outfit on my birthday last month and I felt fabulous! I am currently so in love with mint. It is such a summer color and it just makes me happy! I paired it with a silver mini that I high-waisted, which I do for a lot of skirts. Like the belt effect, I feel like it creates more of an hourglass figure on me by cinching at the waist. Below you can see my final outfit and accessories!

Here's what I wore:

1. Top: H&M - Size 14

2. Tank: Forever 21+ - Size 1x

3. Skirt: Nordstrom Rack (Brand is Halogen) - Size 16

4. Earrings: Lucky Brand

4. Ring: Forever 21

5. Booties: Urban Outfitters

I definitely got up to some birthday shenanigans with my friends, but it was wonderful. I feel like now, I appreciate more intimate things and spending time with people I really love and care about. We headed to a local restaurant with a live band for late night food and drinks. The following day we went to the gun range, which terrified me at first (even though it was my idea!) but I got used to it and want to go back! It was a complete adrenaline rush and may come in handy during a zombie apocalypse! After that my friends and I headed to a local indoor market and just sampled all of the different vendors for lunch! It was perfect! 

I think about my life from last year to this one, and it's changed so much I barely recognize it. I've moved back to my hometown, started a career, started this social media endeavor. So many things happened I never thought would, which goes to show you, never give up on your dreams! I hope to continue to do the things that make me happy and let go of the things that don't. 

That's it for now, but stay tuned for more exciting stuff! Love ya, bye!

Currently Reading: Love & Misadventure

Hello lovelies! So this has turned into a mish-mash of a lot of different things, which I suppose I realized would happen when I created a blog. It's a good representation of myself and my mind, a little bit strange, scattered, but interesting (I hope!). So for my birthday, my best friend got me a book of poetry by Lang Leave, called Love & Misadventure. It's really just short poems or stories that she's compiled that show the flow of emotions from love, loss or love, unrequited love, all types of love really.

Lang Leav really has such simple language but it really leads to such profound thinking. I thought I would share a couple of my favorites with you! I'm not sure why they're my favorites, but they speak to me and I feel like I can just really relate to them at the moment. Enjoy!

The Fear of Losing You

Without meaning to, he's disarming me, with kisses that soothe and alarm me.
In arms that terrify and calm me.

Afraid to Love

I turn away and close my heart -- to the promise of love that is luring.
For the past has taught to not be caught, in what is not worth pursuing--
To never do the things I've done that once had led to my undoing.

So if you happen to see this book lying around or stumble across it at a bookstore, give it a read, it's worth it!

That's all for now my loves, stay tuned for more. And as always, check out all my other social media please and thank you!

Love ya, bye!
