• As I mentioned in my previous post, this week (April 11-17) is officially Black Maternal Health Week! This was founded by @blackmamasmatter organization. And as of April 13, President Biden declared this a National Holiday Week (We did it, Joe! 😂)
—
This is such a serious and important cause in our country. As a young black mother, I have heard countless stories from friends, family, and other women in our community that have had terrible experiences during their pregnancies. No mother should have to FIGHT for her and her unborn child’s health because of negligence. Medical racism is very real and very present. We will not be silenced about this. Let us not only educate ourselves on the matter, but also embrace our Black mothers who have been subject to this incredibly disappointing act.

  • This week is Black Maternal Health Week. If you are not aware, black women have the highest maternal morality rate in the U.S. compared to any other race. There are so many horrific and heartbreaking stories from black mothers that experienced medical racism and negligence during and after pregnancy. Swipe left for some statistics
—
I remember when I was pregnant with my daughter how scared and anxious I was leading up to my labor and delivery. I specifically asked for only my mother and boyfriend to be in the room during that time because I knew that they would act immediately and fiercely on my behalf if anything went awry. Thankfully, I did not experience any issues during that time. However, I was still subject to a possible high risk pregnancy due to developing gestational diabetes. For more information about my birth story, you can read about it on my blog.
—
Bringing in a life is such a miraculous moment and it should be treated with care and attention. Black women should not be second guessed or overlooked when bringing their children into this world. These mothers and children matter.

  • Hey, y’all. It’s #TastyTuesday ! This one is for my Mexican/Tex-Amex lovers! I’ve driven past this place thousands of times and never thought to stop by, until my nail tech @atversatilemani put me on! El Arroyo is actually an Arlington favorite. I mean it hasn’t been talked about within my circle (very disappointed that it wasn’t  btw😒), but it’s about to be. This local restaurant is really a gem. The vibe is perfect. The outdoor patio? Bomb. And the music? Nostalgic. 
—
Appetizer: Queso (large), chips and salsa
Orders: Fajita Steak quesadilla, Fajita chicken quesadilla, Kid’s cheese quesadilla 
Drink: House Margarita
—
What drew me to this place was the Happy Hour specials. Y’all should know by now that I love me a good margarita. It was perfect. If you saw my stories a few ago, then you know 😂 The queso was GOOOOOD. We ordered another round because we tore up the first one. The quesadillas were really good too. I’m definitely going back to experience their live music nights and other items off the menu. I definitely understand the hype of this place being packed out!
—
I’m always looking for other places to add to my forever growing list. Y’all should know by now I love Mexican food. So give me suggestions! And remember I have a full review on my blog too!

Last night, I was triggered by seeing so many people experiencing success. I was angry and I felt so unloved by God. I’ve been struggling in every aspect. It seems like no matter how much I keep trying, things still don’t turn out well. I have yet to find somewhere to work. The entire process of job hunting is emotionally and mentally exhausting. I’m worried about how my expenses will be paid. And I’m not even the least bit excited about my birthday that is coming up. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
—⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Life is not all rainbows and butterflies and roses. I try to maintain transparency with y’all because that is how I am. I’m not always going to be motivational. I’m not always happy. Matter of fact, I sobbed because I was mad at God. Every year, specifically around this time, I hit a new level of lows. I keep crying out, wondering when I’ll get out of this storm. It’s really hard to maintain calm and positive. I know that’s the norm on social media to be happy and elaborate on your success, but it’s not real for everyone. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
—⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m consistently seeking better days. I crave to have my chance so that I can finally get over this rough patch I’ve experienced for quite a long time. I say all of this to say that it is okay to not be chipper and excited about everything. Some days are going to suck and it’s okay to acknowledge it. I wish y’all a better rest of your week ❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

  • Having a sibling is like having a forever best friend. Well… sometimes 😅My siblings and I didn’t always get along, like most siblings. I’m the oldest out of the crew, so I kinda raised them. Although our experiences haven’t always been the best, I love my brother and sister endlessly. 
—
These two have become my forever friends. Our bond is unbreakable. They’re my daughter’s extra protectors. We comfort each other when things are rough. We share plenty of laughs! They mean everything in the entire world to me. Happy #NationalSiblingDay Joshua and Nicole 🥰

  • Move over Wingstop! There’s a new wing place that has my heart right now. I found out about this gem last year from a Facebook group and I have finally given them a try. Flavors Wings N Daiquiris is located in Arlington. They pride themselves in having 20 different wing flavors. Their most popular flavor is Crazy Ranch and I definitely understand why 🤤 They also serve catfish, sandwiches, and of course, daiquiris. This place is so good that I went back to try another round of flavors. 
—
Order #1
5 wings and 1 piece of catfish with fries and a fruit punch daiquiri. Wing flavor, hot lemon pepper. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Order #2
10 wings with fries. Wing flavors, hot honey mustard and crazy ranch. 
—
Obviously I love this place. Plus, you get more bang for your buck here. If y’all saw my stories a couple of weeks ago, I said that these are WANGS not wings! The daiquiri was really good too! It strong, but not too strong which is perfect for me. If you’re ever in Arlington and need a wing fix, pull up to Flavors! And don’t forget, you can also see my reviews on my site!

  • Happy Easter! Today we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. It is a joyous time! Let us continue remember that Jesus sacrificed His life to free us from our sins. Remember that Jesus is loving and kind. Nobody, and I mean absolutely NOBODY, is perfect nor should we judge the next person for what he/she may do.

I want to give a special shout-out to my photographer for life, my best friend, @agent28_ for doing this amazing shoot! And we can’t forget to thank his wonderful wife, @marshaebagby for helping out as well. This was all a joint project filled with love and laughter. More pictures will be released from this shoot!

Happy Easter from my family to yours! I can’t wait to see all of the cute pictures for this holiday 🥰

  • My little family and I had the pleasure of having lunch with one of our dearest friends a couple of weeks ago. She invited us to Pie-Tap in the Design District! If you’ve been following me long enough, then you know we LOVE pizza so we couldn’t pass this opportunity up! 
—
Our order: Garlic knots (not pictured). Pepperoni Pie and Chicken (rotisserie chicken, bourbon bbq, bacon, onion, red onion, pepperoncini, cilantro, smoked mozzarella)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Desert: House-made donuts with honey and strawberry jam. 
—
I gotta say I was super impressed! I loved the aesthetic of the restaurant. Our waiter was VERY nice and attentive. The food was bomb! I always measure a pizza place by how well they do their pepperoni pizza. And they passed with flying colors. I also really love a good bbq chicken pizza. We will definitely go back in the future and possibly bring other family members or friends along.

If you know of ANY other pizza places in the metroplex, leave a suggestion in the comments or in my stories! Also check out my full review by clicking the link in my bio 🍕

  • #MotivationalMonday ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You know the saying “You don’t look like what you’ve been through?” Well a few weeks before this picture, you would never know that it would take me hours to get out of bed. Some days, I would not leave the house. I was so depressed that I didn’t even realize that I hadn’t bathed three days in a row (yuck, I know). I was triggered by a lot of things going on. The feeling of being incredibly lonely. Knowing my birthday is coming up and all the plans I had are in the trash. My sleep schedule is all over the place. The routines I made were never fulfilled. Everything felt like a huge boulder was on my back while a cloud of darkness engulfed me. It was HEAVY. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
—⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you are experiencing signs of a depressive state or maybe have someone in your life that is going through something similar, don’t be afraid to get help. Whether it’s doing some free mental health exercises or watching a show that’s comforting to you, do SOMETHING. This feeling won’t last always. Depression will make you feel as if you’re worthless and it is a LIE. Check in with someone or check on someone today. Drink your favorite drink. Blast that playlist of the same 30 songs you love. Whatever you do, do it. Sending you love and light this week ❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
