I found some great workouts on YouTube! I enjoy doing yoga, and I am attempting to do pilates (the pain and agony). I must stay fit and healthy, so a girl has to work it out! Keeping the abs tight and stretching are the focus of these two workouts below. Check them out!

Hola!

It's been a minute since I have blogged! I want to take a new direction with this thing and focus on my natural hair styles and regimen, my everyday style as a diva, healthy lifestyle choices, words of encouragement, and my favorite things (i.e., baked goods, books, music). Let's see if I can keep up with this thing from now on! : )

I'll start out with my favorite song by Monica...Why I Love You So Much. They have really been playing this song on the radio, and I can't help but jam to it. I dedicate this song to my future boo thing LOL. Single and Fabulosa!

Lovely Day to Wear A Dress!

I absolutely love wearing dresses! I bought this dress from Francesca's Collections, and it was on sale for $17.39 (originally $48.00). The earrings I bought to match are from Forever 21, and they were just $2.80. My shoes are from the Madden Girl brand. My hair is a simple twist out...the night before I re-twisted my hair with Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie and then put my twists on rollers. I woke up this morning and took out the rollers and loosened the twists. The rollers help to lengthen the curl. Fierceness at its finest!
