I'm having... Pretty much the lamest weekend in history... Napping, stuffing my face with anything and everything edible, naaaapping and laughing!!! Laughing for no apparent reason, for the sake of it and oh! Sometimes simultaneously with the "laugh track" in one very funny comedy series I'm currently watching. Get this, I was done watching 6 episodes of "Cristela" last night, before I slept... Lord! If only people were getting paid for binge watching, I'd be rich y'all, stinking! I'm talking Forbes and all.

Yesterday was my brothers birthday, a great opportunity for me to take a break from being lazy and dress up! We had a happy, modest celebration to honor his growing a year older and dumber, It was lot's of fun and as much as I love to hate my brother {the feeling is mutual, trust me} it melted my heart to see him smile and have a good time.

You can never go wrong with a jumpsuit. No matter the occasion, there’s always a look you can pull off by wearing one! I created a very simple ensemble. The way I see it, a jumpsuit is a statement in itself, so I went easy with accessorizing by only wearing teal earrings and a few rings.

Have a lovely productive week!... Or, on second thought, you can go on and be lazy like myself, "bone idleness" never killed nobody! Haha!

"Coachella Dreaming" to be precise.

What I love most about Coachella, is the festival fashion, don't we all? I mean, woah! People bring it! 

As much as I didn't put any a lot of effort in coming up with this ensemble, I think it can pass for a Coachella outfit, right? Yes? No?... Dare say it can't! I will find you! Haha! 

I've been embracing black lately, I love the colour, mostly because it has sophistication, elegance, power and mystery written all over it.

I hope April has been good to you so far. As much as I'm back, I'm not going to promise regular posting. I'll be joining the corporate world soon... Grown up much? Yeeeeeah! Lol! In early May and just to be real with y'all, I'll be prioritizing work over blogging for fun.

Enjoy the rest of your week! I leave you with this quote, "Happiness does not depend on what you have or who you are, it solely relies on what you think."

Love & Light

All-round fitness, weight loss, a strong and flexible body, glowing beautiful skin, stress relief, peaceful mind, improved immunity, good health – whatever you may be looking for, yoga has it on offer.

This is what happens when you watch the eigth episode of Empire {SS1}... You just wanna wear white!!!

If you haven't watched Empire yet, fix it! Ha! It's a pretty amazing show, I promise, Cookie will give you life!

I've always loved the all white clothing trend, I think it's uber chic and when I took on the trend last weekend, I couldn't get enough of the effortless clean and crisp vibe it kept giving off. I played it safe with my outfit, by simply wearing basic white jeggings and a white shirt, I chose not to accessorize too much, but somewhere along the shoot Kevin handed me his watch to add some swag to my look haha! I'm really glad I tried out this trend, wouldn't mind doing it again.

Oh! Excuse how my hair looks in the pictures, I swear it looked perfect before I stepped out of the house. Windy day it was!
