3AM

3am

I do my best writing at 3am.

When the roads are quiet and all I hear is the slight rumbling of a fan who’s time above me may be coming to an end. It’s worn in the best way, like the sheets on my bed after a wild night, tossing and turning trying to get comfortable. Waking up to the glow from the small lamp in the corner of my room, keeping me apprised of what’s going on during the silence of the night. That silence is when all my thoughts come to a head and I think of every damn thing.

The man who burned me, the one who came after that I prayed would take his place.

The bad taste wanting that to happen so bad left in my mouth.. The fear of the day ahead and the stress of the day before. The book that is so good I have to take pauses in reading to write this note in my phone to tell you all — I do my best writing at 3am.

In case you were wondering, it’s after 3am and I’m writing you. Not because I’m sad, not even because I’m stressed. But because my thoughts were coming to a head and I had to get them out. At this time I’m able to think. I’m able to map out my desires, my shortcomings, my fears, my passions; everything that makes me, me. Knowing that, it gives me the push to pray for the things I want and imagine the things I’ll have one day. So, I thought I’d end with letting you know that all of this is the very reason I do my best writing at 3am. If you’re up too and your mind is running as wild as mine, we should stay up and write together sometime.

MY CURRENT FAVORITES FROM SEPHORA

Happy Monday you guys!

I don’t know about y’all, but the start of my Monday was pretty eventful to say the least. For one, I drove to school with little to no gas in my car. Living on the wild side never felt scarier by the way. Two, at some point my windshield wipers came on (it was not raining), and I’m not sure how long they were on before I realized it lols. After staying up till the wee hours of the morning finishing group projects and trying to get my life together, the way my morning began is just par the course. However, I will say that after using my favorite moisturizer from Sephora, leaving my apartment never felt easier.  Continue Reading

With such explorations leading us to Coterie, the cutest cafe EVER.

F45: THE GYM THAT WILL MAKE YOUR FITNESS GOALS ATTAINABLE

F45

At the start of the new year, I don’t think it’s too far fetched to assume that everyone has fitness goals on the brain. Hell, I know I sure do! After all, they do say “summer bodies are made in the winter

This is why finding the perfect gym that could make that saying a reality in my life was so dang important. So when I got the opportunity from Kayva and my friends at Eko Studios to train at F45 gym and bring a friend? I jumped at the opportunity.  Continue Reading
