Life Lately: May-We Celebrate

May has been nothing short of a whirlwind—in the best way. From toasting to new beginnings at engagement parties, clapping for caps in the air at graduations, and swooning over prom fits that rival red carpets, this month has had me fully booked and emotionally rich. But even in the middle of the madness, I’ve been carving out space for little joys—especially my Sip Trip Saturdays. Whether it’s a cozy coffee moment at home or a treat-yourself latte run, those pockets of peace have been my anchor. Here’s a peek into what May has looked and felt like so far:

May Highlights:

• 👔 Caught the prom prep excitement—without the frills of extravagant send offs....and OH..my baby came home with Best Dressed **cue evil grin** you know the tree by it's fruit.

• 💍 Celebrated a beautiful engagement that had all the feels (and a perfect toast moment)

  
  
  
  

• ☕ Continued Sip Trip Saturdays—some from home, others from charming little cafés! Yall know my life needs the octane and it's definitely come in handy this month. If nothing else, I prioritize myself in this manner to pause life for a sip.

  

  
  

• 🌿 Gave my balcony a much-needed glow-up—it’s now my favorite weekend escape. I am currently typing from my oasis now, lol. The weather has been beautiful and the views bring me peace as the kids are laughing and playing afar. This spot brings me joy!

  

• 🎓 Cheered on my brother who graduated with his DOCTORATE crossing the stage—and soon cometh, Mason's debut from HS. This was a fun "turn and burn" to NY where I stayed in the heart of Times Square (Thanx to my booking agent). Definitely lookng forward to more short trips in cities.

  

  

• 👩🏽‍💼 Settling into the new job groove—Werk Couture continues to hit in and out of the office. I know...you're so surprised, lol. I am still working on dare I say a capsule **gasp** I am playing around with what I want that to look like but I can tell you now...I am getting spoiled with wearing the same pair of trousers once a week.

  

• 📸 Snapped a few style moments worth saving (and maybe sharing soon…). I owe you guys for the past two months the Boudoir Reveal. As proud of them as I am, I'm still nervous and shy revealing such...intimiate pics.

  
  

  

  I honestly can't complain because life has been going great this month. The weather is sunny n comfortable temps. Mother's Day was spent well with a picnic in the park and Toot is enjoying being my pickleball partner as much I love practicing and just getting in some exercise as we both chase the ball, lol.

I've been invited to boat rides where I'm surrounded my men who spoiled me and I love that for me. It truly allows me to let my guard down in the safe space of good men and I feel lighter and airy being pampered n catered too without any commands. Living life outside of the phone is getting addictive and we are surely OUTSIDE this Summer!

As May begins to wind down this week, I’m holding space for both the celebrations and the slow sips. Life lately has been layered—busy, beautiful, and buzzing with meaning. I’m taking it all in, one moment (and one macchiato) at a time. Here’s to more memories, meaningful connections, and making time for what matters most—even if it’s just a quiet coffee break or pickleball with my Toot. 🎀
