Back to normal life…with a few new goodies. My daughter in-law said “run it up” - I couldn’t possibly disappoint. 🛍In all seriousness this was my first luxury purchase in 8 months. I am so excited about sharing the items I purchased. What are you coveting/purchasing these days?

Creating is what makes me happy, but I’m so glad

Creating is what makes me happy, but I’m so glad you love it, too.
Yep - that’s how I feel. The moment my feelings change, it’s time to re-evaluate whether I’m using social media in a healthy way. I refuse to let an ever-changing algorithm affect my attitude, but I am overjoyed when y’all are loving what I share.
Even if you don’t post on social media, you are a creator. What do you create — and what inspires you to keep going?

Any guesses on the color of the season? Think about my garden …

Yes, it’s green. The color is so refreshing; it reminds me of growth and life. Green means go — and live your best.

I'm wearing my latest @Chicos outfit in these photos. Here are the details:
My beautiful, pale clover button-down shirt requires no ironing. It always looks ready-to-go, and the shade is stunning.
The color of my cropped, slimming pants? Alabaster. When you find a style that works, stick with it.

Do you have a color for the season? Tell me what it means to you. #ad #lovechicos

Just call me “domestic goddess” - I prepared an amazing banana pudding for the first time. Swipe left to hear about it. Thanks Tracy! I also worked in the garden, planting, trimming and prepped my Easter dinner…. Whew- I’m tired but feeling accomplished. What’s on your agenda for Easter?

WARRIOR
.
Be a warrior. Fight for what you believe in and never, ever hold back. Fiercely go toward your dreams with boldness and lust. Hold your ground in the face of conflict. Knock barriers down with courage and grace. Do not give up when you find yourself face to face to an obstacle, instead continue forward with abandon. Keep the fire in your heart burning strong and do not ever let your flame fade away. Remind yourself that what you are fighting for is worth it. And remember that you will overcome everything that comes your way — because my beautiful friend, you are a warrior. By - #nikkibanas

If skincare is not a part of your makeup routine,

If skincare is not a part of your makeup routine, I promise that you’re skipping an important step. Trust me — I had to learn the hard way. After visiting the dermatologist, I had a wake-up call about the value of choosing skincare products wisely.

I hope you’ve noticed that I’ve been sampling SeroVital™
Beauty products. Their DeepMoisture Recovery Whip™ has brought comfort to my skin, y’all. While minimizing the look of pronounced pores (go ahead and zoom in on the photos), the whip also helps me transition to visibly healthier, more supple skin.

What’s underneath your makeup? The biggest anti-aging tip: care for your skin NOW.

Self Capture Sunday - First let’s get past the e

Self Capture Sunday - First let’s get past the elephant in the room… it’s Super Bowl Sunday and I’m posting knowing engagement will most likely be low. I’ve come to expect certain things with IG - plus, I am super hyped after the half time show. If you watched - what did you think of it? Y’all know I was dancing so hard. For a second I thought I was Mary J Blige 💃🏽
OKkkkk let me get to the SCS topic…
F-STOP - the term f stop and aperture is used interchangeably - it means the amount of light let into the camera. The lower the f-stop the more light into the camera, the higher the f-stop you’ll get less light into the camera. This can be really confusing for those new to photography but once you grasp this concept it will help you decide on the type of lens to purchase if you looking to get a new lens for your DSLR or Mirrorless camera.
.
. Have you seen cameras that come with one or two lens? Well more than likely these are lens with higher f-stops, which do an amazing job capturing images in well lit areas or outside in the best light. However, you will most like struggle capturing decent images inside or in poorly lit areas. This self capture was taken with a 2.8 aperture, a ring light in front of me and backlight from the window behind me which created this beautiful blurry background. If you have a low f-stop lens (dosen’t have to be an expensive one - 50mm 1.8 lens are pretty reasonable) or planning to purchase one. Try this technique and don’t forget to use the #selfcapturesundays

Wednesday Words of Wisdom - THE TREE ANALOGY OF P

Wednesday Words of Wisdom -
THE TREE ANALOGY OF PEOPLE BY TYLER PERRY
.
Tyler Perry has this tree analogy when he thinks of people in his life, be it friends, family, acquaintances, employees, co-workers whomever… They are all placed inside what he calls his tree test. It goes like this:
.
LEAF PEOPLE
Some people come into your life and they are like leaves on a tree. They are only there for a season. You can’t depend on them or count on them because they are weak and only there to give you shade. Like leaves, they are there to take what they need and as soon as it gets cold or a wind blows in your life they are gone. You can’t be angry at them, it’s just who they are.
.
BRANCH PEOPLE
There are some people who come into your life and they are like branches on a tree. They are stronger than leaves, but you have to be careful with them. They will stick around through most seasons, but if you go through a storm or two in your life it’s possible that you could lose them. Most times they break away when it’s tough. Although they are stronger than leaves, you have to test them out before you run out there and put all your weight on them. In most cases they can’t handle too much weight. But again, you can’t be mad with them, it’s just who they are.
.
ROOT PEOPLE
.
If you can find some people in your life who are like the roots of a tree then you have found something special. Like the roots of a tree, they are hard to find because they are not trying to be seen. Their only job is to hold you up and help you live a strong and healthy life. If you thrive, they are happy. They stay low key and don’t let the world know that they are there. And if you go through an awful storm they will hold you up. Their job is to hold you up, come what may, and to nourish you, feed you and water you.
.
Just as a tree has many limbs and many leaves, there are few roots. Look at your own life.
.
How many leaves, branches and roots do you have? What are you in other people’s lives?
