She got that juice She got that squeeze🥂 Captioning my posts using rap/trap lyrics has been really fun for me so I’m gonna keep it up for the week.

BREATHE IN, BREATHE OUT🧘🏾‍♀️ Creating a positive, comforting and cozy space in my apartment has been one of the most rewarding experiences. I have filled my space with the energy and comfort I had been missing for months. No one can compromise my space with their energy because my energy is more fierce and I will not ALLOW anyone to have that power. Have you ever ALLOWED someone else to have power over you?

Sometimes you gotta switch it up just because you can🖤 📸: @imanibrammer (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtjTlbiH8qv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rrhsposam2g2

You got a lot to be smiling for😁😋 Reasons why I’m smiling: - I woke up - Got out of bed - The sun came out to play - Polka dotted pants (need I say more?) - Day two of my twist out still has my fro poppin It’s easy to wake up and feel like there’s nothing to smile about. I feel that constantly but I’m a glass half full girl so I will always try my best to find the positive in every day I live and every situation☺️ What is making you smile today? Let me know❤️👇🏾 (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btg-ZOcH_7L/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19nevag84serk

Enjoying the now and being in the moment is something I struggle with. I am always thinking about the future and what is to come without enjoying EXACTLY where I am at in moment💛 . If you’re like me and tend to think more about the future than enjoying every moment in the now, it’s okay just remember that there’s just as much beauty in the now as the future✨ . . . . . #growth #reflection #lifestyleblogger #lifestyle #nycbloggers #blackbloggers #dailymotivation #motivation #melaninbloggers #melaninblogger #pinterestquotes #tuesdayvibes #monifabrooks #selflovetips #selflove #blackblogger #blackyoutuber #bloggernyc #nyclifestyleblogger #lifestylenyc (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtPY4DMHftC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=110pyftxllpqe

A little retail therapy never hurt nobody (except for my bank account)🤷🏾‍♀️ @urbanoutfitters is having an additional 50% off their clearance items sooo since I’m a fashionista on a budget I hit up the sale. I only found 2 things I liked but I saved money✨💃🏾 . . . . . #shopping #treatyoself #nyc #urbanoutfitters #shoppingtrip #blackblogger #blackbloggers #melaninbloggers #melaninblogger #nycblogger #nycbloggers #lifestyle #lifestyleblogger #dressingroom #dressingroomselfie #options #decisionsdecisions #styleblogger #styleinspo #stylehasnosize #sales #clearancefinds (at Urban Outfitters) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtMmX_lHcl_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nna7uxp1w8h0
