Having a good day so I’m popping in to say hi. How is your day going so far? Leave a 🙂 if your day is going well and a 🙃 if it could be better. ———————————————————————— #curlywoman #curlyhair #naturalcurls #curlyhairdontcare #floridahair #floridacurls #tampaflorida (at Tampa, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD1_LO_B98L/?igshid=1fgmw8qm3hzvz

Tried some new sours! I had rainbow sherbet over the weekend and was looking for something similar. Found these @mikkellerbeer Berliner Weisse at the Tampa @luekensliquors store. Really liked the pineapple and mango flavors because it’s hard to find canned sours. Which would prefer 🍍 or 🥭? —————————————————————————— #berlinerweisse #sourbeers #sourbeer #mikkellerbeer #halloichbin #pineapplebeer #mangobeer #tampafoodie #tampablogger #tampablog #latergram #latepost (at Tampa, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDz73axh99s/?igshid=e7k6q6xkr6y1

Loving these comfy #ShoeDazzlePartner Aphra wraparound strap wedges! You can find them and more @shoedazzle styles at www.shoedazzle.com/summershop Also thank you @quiqksilver for getting my angles so I look thinner 😂 ————————————————————— #summersandals #wedgesandals #wrapsandals #summershoes #summerwedges #sumertimesadness #summertimefine (at Westshore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDcdq_Nhrf4/?igshid=1uz4q00rglpgk

I’ve been so hesitant to try the @keelandcurleyatkeelfarms Peach Chardonnay because I normally don’t like chardonnays. I’m so happy I decided to live a little and try it! It’s now tied as my favorite with their Wild Berry Pinot Noir. Anyway, just wanted to share that you can still find new little things to try and make your day even in this pandemic. I hope you all have a great night! ———————————————————————— #wine #peachwine #peachchardonnay #keelandcurley #keelandcurleywinery #sweetwine #floridawine #tampawine #tampafoodie #tampablogger #tampa (at Tampa, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDSdbEzB8eZ/?igshid=1h0d5al95raw5

#challengeaccepted @sweetstrawb3rry thanks for thinking of me! Empowering each other is being there for our friends and helping to stand up for other women when they need it most instead of tearing them apart or being a bystander to cruelty. ——————————————————————— #empoweringwomen #empowerment #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen (at Tampa, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDNUS5BB1Bw/?igshid=1gbkvd6glzyxo

E is for Emerald 💚 . Tried a braid out tutorial from @manesbymell and this is the result! I felt a little extra so I put on my favorite earrings that @quiqksilver got me for Christmas. Do you have a favorite jewelry piece that makes you feel fancy when you’re down? . #emeralds #emerald #emeraldearrings #braidout #curlynaturalhair #lookgoodfeelgood #3bcurls #3acurls #curlygirl (at Tampa, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC99D-Th-fn/?igshid=1d2d3dodt6ehe

It’s #tacotuesday!!! And I’m on a shellfish binge this week so I’m having @sunkissedfoodtruck blue crab tacos with a cannolis for dessert. I’m so happy they showed up at my complex so that I could have something tasty at the end of crazy workday (yes I work from 11-7:30, but no I am not a nurse or dancer 🙃). 😋 Tell me if you ever tried blue crab tacos before in the comments below! 🦀🌮 ————————————————————— #bluecrabtaco #crabtaco #cannoli #tampafood #foodie #tampafoodie #tampablogger #tampafoodtruck #foodtrucknight #tampablog #seafoodtruck #curlynaturalhair #westshore #westshoretampa (at Westshore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCpJTPgBjoE/?igshid=io12o4j3wwzt

It’s the last day of the fiscal year and I’m planning to fall into a pasta induced coma at 8pm on the dot. #worklifebalance 🍝😴 ———————————————————— #naturalcurlyhair #ootd #tampablogger #workingwoman #scrummaster #styleblogger (at Tampa, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCEpumUhm_x/?igshid=sa8hzakc5u3m

Glam, but make it comfy! I love being a #shoedazzlepartner because I can try the cutest @shoedazzle shoes for all occasions! These ‘Adelpha Two Strap Sandals’ are so sparkly in the sunlight but have a little cushion to them so they are comfy. Also, I have been wearing these ‘Ruched Hem Soft Joggers’ all weekend (probably shouldn’t have admitted that) because they are so versatile and lightweight for this 100 degree heat. You can find these #ShoeDazzleSummerGlowUp styles and more at ShoeDazzle.com/SummerShop ————————————————— #shoedazzlegirl #shoedazzle #flats #sparklyshoes #sparklyflats #comfyoutfit #ruchedjoggers #joggers #sandals #summeroutfits #summersandals (at Tampa, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCCBPqLh-W3/?igshid=re6x46kmiwjk

I’m so happy I won the @organic_lufka soap loaf giveaway!!! They have the cutest shop in Seminole Heights and so many refillable products! I’m also excited to try the exfoliating washcloth because you can use it with your soap and the loop helps to get your back. I will definitely be back to get my candles and handsoap refilled! 💚 ——————————————————— #lufkarefillables #lufka #organiclufka #tampa #tampablogger (at LÜFKA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBqp65rhW79/?igshid=13b169ivoxecm

Morning! I used @camillerosenaturals curl maker gel last night over a little of the @moeriebeauty conditioner and I’m loving the #bouncycurls I woke up with! Instead of raking the gel in I squished it in from the ends up. I did sleep with it damp so one side looks prettier than the other lol but hey this real #workingwomanwednesday life for ya. #curlmaker #curlyhair #washngo #softcurls #healthycurls #garnierolia #naturalcurls #curlfriends (at Westshore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBQqBunBXYx/?igshid=1wjm5ssf8bofi

We are BLACK WOMEN (yes if you are mixed you are black too and need to join in solidarity so please don’t start with comments because I will block you)! We build ... We don't tear down other BLACK WOMEN! ... WE have felt the pain of being torn down and we have decided we will be deliberate about building other's. If I didn't tag you, please don't feel offended. I tried to pick people I thought would do this challenge and that I know personally! All too often, us women find it easier to criticize each other instead of building each other up. With all the negativity going around, let's do something positive 🌟 Upload 1 picture of yourself ... Only you. Then tag as many sisters to do the same. Let's build ourselves up, instead of tearing ourselves down. 🖤🖤 I know I have shared more on my stories and twitter but not been as vocal as I feel. Part of that was feeling that I didn’t want to take away the voice of others that endured these horrible experiences first hand but I don’t want to be silent and not speak up; my feelings are valid as I have my family and friends that I have seen get treated in terrible ways and have seen that being of a lighter skin tone grants privileges that really shouldn’t be privileges but the default for everyone. It may sound off but just listening to Bob Marley “War” reminded me that he was biracial, like me, and stood up so how can I call myself Jamaican American if I don’t? I urge everyone who isn’t registered to vote to get registered now and regardless of covid, get your butt in the voting poll when it comes time for your elections state and national (yes, I vote in state elections as well because you often see most change locally first!). I’m not deflecting anything that has happened by saying to vote but that using researched & calculated voting and choosing where to spend your money can be a way to help bring change. For me this means spending more time researching how judges ruled in the past and what bills representatives/senators passed or blocked. As well as seeing what companies are doing to give back to their communities before purchasing from them. Either way I’m here. 🖤 (at Westshore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBHMJ6oBNBh/?igshid=prgvrlscx48m

Starting my day off with animal crossing before I log on for work. It puts me in a calm mood and helps distract me from the fact that I’m still intermittent fasting till 2pm. And I’m in love with beautiful white lilies @mishkaluxe & @katkat92 got me for my birthday! They literally look like the ones in #animalcrossingnewhorizons. While we’re here, do ya’ll enjoy #homedecor pics? It’s a hobby of mine that I do slowly so I haven’t shared as much. Anyway, have a great Thursday! 🤗 ____________________________________________ #decor #hygge #calm #homesweethome #cozyhome #homeoffice #cozyvibes #cozyoffice (at Westshore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAvHJPzhrWo/?igshid=adtiapos82jk
