Hot Mama Summer: Missguided

          

It's Memorial weekend and I can't wait to get a little rest and relaxation. But, before that can start a little retail therapy never hurt anyone. I picked up some cute pieces from Missguded that I thought I would show you. Comfort is my priority but I always. 

Where have you been shopping for cute clothes?

Celebrating Mother's Day When You Have Lost A Parent

Mother's Day has always been hit or miss for me. I either have a glorious day celebrating with my kids or I can't even get out of bed. Grieving is a process that can take a toll on anybody. I must say being a parent has helped with the process because I focus on the things I have gained and not lost.

I remember the lessons my mother taught me and share them with my children. I was so blessed to have a strong, kind hearted mother and Mother's Day is a day I practice self love and appreciation. I take time for myself by usually doing things like: mediating, working out, taking a bath. I also use the early mornings to do an extended skincare routine. Finding peace in the little quiet moments help.

So, if you are in the same boat as me, don't obligated to smile or be dishonest about your feelings. If you need to cry. Cry. Sit with your feelings because if you don't they will find a way to seep out slowly and uncontrollably. 

Procrastinator's Guide to Mother's Day : Self Love Edition

I usually take Mother's Day to treat myself  with something special. It's an excuse for me to be selfish. And, with outside opening up (don't worry, going to get vaccinated this week and wearing a mask every where outside of my house) I am loving anything I can use when on vacation or a casual night out. 

Here are a couple things I picked up along with some things I have been crushing on.
