Manifest Monday — Light It Into Existence 🔥
This immersive candle experience from Spoken Flames engages your senses to help you feel more grounded, inspired and connected to yourself and your goals. Activate your moment of self-care with these shimmering, soft-crackling and speaking—yes, speaking—candles.
Have you ever met a person who didn’t love receiving a beautiful scented candle!? Especially when said candle has the most luxe packaging, is made of clean-burning coconut + apricot wax and lasts for 60 (or more) hours.
Insert Joe + Monroe! These glam scented candles have made their way straight to my heart and I am pretty sure I cannot live without them! They check all the boxes for me. Personally, I burn candles every single day — there’s no easier way to add a sense of luxury to day-to-day life, whether it’s an invigorating scent on my desk while I work or relaxing scent while I soak all my stress away in a hot bubble bath. I never think of beautifully-scented candles as extravagances… but more as essentials! But why not just embrace the fact that they can be both, then go ahead and scoop up a holiday gift or two for yourself! If you place your orders by December 15th (soon approaching) you will have it delivered by Christmas!

Read MoreGo French Yourself is committed to highlighting and working with more Black owned brands this year and indefinitely. And I am so thrilled to share this one today!!! Ever since hearing about this one from Oprah I had to experience it for myself!
I absolutely love making laundry day easier , eco-friendlier, and just plain happier y’all! And today I am excited to share my experience with Loohoo.
Loohoo’s adorable chic dryer balls are laundry’s little miracle workers!!! They hop along with each load giving me fluffier towels, softer sheets, and less-wrinkly shirts while also cutting down on drying time!
So are you sitting here wondering….what are dryer balls, anyway?
Read MoreYes, I know, 2020 has changed traveling an awful lot!! But when the invitation arrives in my inbox to spend a weekend in Bentonville exploring public art and all of my fave museums and restaurants to see exactly how Bentonville is keeping people living safely-well…it is impossible to say no!!!!
I visited Bentonville 8 times in 2019 on assignment and was greatly missing it! The downtown square is so quaint streets plus Bentonville has such a great food and drink scene and its many museums and local shops just make my heart sing. A weekend in Bentonville even in a pandemic is a great idea and couldn’t be easier to do. Remember , it’s only two hours from Tulsa! And with all of the public art and trails…well even if you just want to stay outdoors to keep distance, you are going to have a heck of a good time, Bentonville is truly the perfect place to take a weekend getaway or even just a day trip! Truth be told-I felt safer in Bentonville than I do in Tulsa right now. Everyone is wearing masks and being so respectful of one another. They are really embracing the social distancing protocols and it’s beautiful to see.

Nobody can make you feel inferior without your permission! Let the sisterhood blossom ladies! Happy Women’s Equality Day!! 🌸
Inspired by two brands I want to share for #WomensEqualityDay should you want to do some online shopping this afternoon!!
Our sweet boys have been living a life of leisure and gluttony this year, just as I think we all have in all fairness to them!!! After a vet appointment, we knew it was time to make a few lifestyle changes for Melvin & Henry. We have had experience with fresh pet food previously but then got lazy and switched back to kibble! HUGE mistake. Our poor dog Henry has the worst digestive issues and can no longer even stomach kibble. Go French Yourself is committed to highlighting and working with more Black-Owned brands this year and indefinitely so after doing some research I was thrilled to learn about Pet Plate! They are black-owned and this was something that was and is VERY important to me. The owner-Renaldo Webb was a consultant in the pet food space and saw the inferior ingredients and substandard processes used to make mass-market pet food. He went to work to find a healthy solution for his adorable pooch Winston and Pet Plate, a fresh dog food delivery service was born!

Back in April of 2009 I was in the midst of wrapping up my finals when I suddenly started experiencing this wild pain in my wrists. Thinking it was “just” Carpal tunnel syndrome, I kept plugging away! Fast forward to 2010, I’ve now been diagnosed with Lupus which would accompany the Rheumatoid Arthritis that I already had.
