Shout out to a blessed & bomb Saturday! One of the best I’ve had in a long time! Not having a car has allowed me to get closer to friends I’ve been wanting to hang with. Shout out to @ejlegrair, @crownedcanesha, and @brynnplumm for being my rides this weekend! Like, y’all are the homies FOR REAL! • Also, shout out to @thisistheread for coming to Nashville! #Crissle and #KidFury are some of my fave ppl on the internet. I’m so happy they blessed us with their presence! • Anyway, spread more love this weekend y’all! • Oh yeah, that’s my last name, so duh, picture!
Wikipedia says, “#Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success.” 🤔 Yesterday I felt like a COMPLETE failure. I felt like the OPPOSITE of success. I’ve submitted more that 40 resumes/applications and garnered TWO interviews. LAWD! I really wanted to give up! 😩 But as I wiped away my tears, I looked around. I saw my degrees sitting on the fireplace (tears were shed to get those). I saw the roof over my head; I remember how I #prayed to get this low rent. I looked at the phone in my hand and thought of all the ppl in my contact list who love me and are cheering me on. I’m NOT a failure, I’m just not at my DESIRED goal. Life is like that. 🧐 So we press on. Just like the thousands of tiles in this photo, we make thousands of choices everyday. Sometimes they are good, sometimes bad. However, where you are is where you SHOULD be to become the success you want to be in the future! I will meet my desired objective! YOU will too! #blogpost • FABGLANCE.COM
FLASHBACK to 2013! I found this photo while googling myself! Yeah, I do that, gotta keep my name clean in these streets! • Anyway, what I remember most about this day was feeling SO INSECURE in front of the camera. This was around the time when I realized I HAD to have #ootd photos if I was trying to be a #styleblogger. The competition was FIERCE and I was scared. • Now, I’m not as scared, but the competition is still ALOT. • A tip for my new bloggers: talk to your audience like they are your homies, don’t be afraid to collab with other influencers, and give out info that you needed when you started. Be proud of your work and your following will grow. You are more secure when you are honest! WE CAN DO IT. There’s enough followers for us all! #bloggerlife #plussizeblogger #nashvilleblogger
This time last year I took a 6 week blogging hiatus because my life was in shambles! • Today, my life isn’t in complete shambles, but we shambles adjacent. I’m a LIFEstyle blogger, I choose to keep it real on my timeline. So, I’m NOT taking a hiatus, but I wont be posting as much. What’s the point of posting pretty pictures and selling a dream if my REAL life isn’t in line? • So, for next couple weeks I will be in an INTENSE job search, praying that my car does not fall apart, keeping my #mentalhealth & physical health intact, and hoping my PT job gives me enough to pay the bills. • I gotta #keepitreal life is tough over here, but I’m tougher. • Oh yeah, if you see me out & about, just know that is the perk of being a veteran blogger: you get to do very expensive things, FOR FREE, because people like you. Please believe it’s just bill money in these pockets. • Pray for me. And if you’d like to donate Uber or Lyft credits to me, send me a DM. My car is def on its last tire. #motivation #dontcountmeout #stormsdontlastforever
