As many of you babes know, I die for a good bag. I’m practically always on the hunt for one, whether I realize it or not. It’s an item that goes with me everywhere, not only as an accessory, but as a carrier of essential items I might need while out and about.
In today’s post, I’m sharing what’s in my bag; summer edition and why they’re such essential items for me.
It’s been 7 years since I applied false lashes for the first time and just thinking about that is W I L D. To be honest saying that aloud as I typed this made me feel a ways. For one, 7 years is a long time and makes me feel kind of old. Two, I’m not sure how I functioned before strips came into my life. Now the latter may be a bit dramatic. BUT, that’s how good eyelash strips are. I’d like to think others agree because I’m ALWAYS getting compliments on mine when I wear them. Compliments ranging from how precise they look (as if I got lash extensions), how well I put them on, and so forth.
SO, keep reading as I put y’all on game 😉 and share my application tips, where I get my strips from, and the secret to my poppin’ false lashes.
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.

Happy Wednesday y’all. For my babes, that are in relationships I’m almost positive you’re preparing for date night with your significant others this coming week. What for, some may be asking? Well, Valentine’s Day is in a few days silly. So naturally, looking for an outfit comes with the territory.

Today’s Wednesday, so of course that means its Poetry Wednesday y’all! However, I’m taking a break from putting the pencil to the pad. This week I’m pulling from other poets that inspire/speak to me and sharing them with y’all. Not to worry though! I’ll be back with an all new original writing next week. But for now, I hope y’all enjoy this. Continue Reading
