Yesterday I went to the gym and I wore three out of the four items that I received. I absolutely love the shorts. They are comfortable and are great quality. I love the mixture of pink and black! These will be worn a lot. The heart tee shirt is sporty and chic. I like the way it fit and I am sure I will be able to get a lot of wear out of it.

I also wore the racerback sports bra underneath my shirt and it was very comfortable. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to wear the sports bra with the shorts by itself since they both are a great match! Lastly, the headband will surely come in handy on those days when I need my hair to be up and out of my face. For those of you who run marathons this headband would be perfect for you. All of the items that I received were great and will be put to great use! In this day and age it is extremely important that we stay in shape and take care of ourselves. So why not exercise in style?

The pictures and prices of the items I received from Kohl’s are shown below ↓

These items are available from April 30 through the end of July at Kohl’s 40 Wisconsin stores and online at WWW.Kohls.Com. With each item costing only $5 and $10 each, 100% of the net profit will go to supporting the fight against breast cancer!

Thanks for stopping by ✌.

Good Morning ASW Readers!!

I hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend. I would like to share with you all my experience at the Diva Lounge this past Saturday night. A few of you may remember that I attended the Diva Lounge Miami Edition last October in the Design District of Miami, Florida. I had such a great time at the last one that I knew I wanted to attend the next one. They honored five of South Florida’s premier women in the arts.

Check out the pictures from the event below ↓

The event was held at The Little Haiti Cultural Center and was well attended.

I posed with the lovely Shayna D., Founder of The Diva Lounge, who is so sweet and kind hearted. She even remembered me from the last Diva Lounge event in Miami. How cool is that? Then I bumped into the lovely Dekishea and Donnete who are the go-to PR ladies down here in South Florida. I also got a chance to meet and take a picture with the talented Vanessa James who is a TV, Radio and Media Personality in Miami, NYC and Trinidad! I love her neon wrap dress. Too cute!

Lala’s new Make up line called Motives. She features reasonably priced make up products which consist include: Lip gloss, Facial powder, Eye shadow, etc. I will definitely be looking to purchase something from her line in the near future.

Ran into ASMI Style. This woman is so talented. Every time I see her and I ask her where did she get her dress she tells me that she designed and made it herself. She’s amazing! Click here to check out her website.

Good Morning Lovelies!!! Before I get started I just wanted to tell you all that today is my 26th Birthday!! ::Cheers:: LOL! Anywho, many of you knew that I co-hosted C.Michelle’s Beauty and Fashion Blogger Meet and Greet event this past Thursday. I just wanted to share with you all a few pictures from the event. Thank you Michelle again for allowing us to be apart of such an awesome event.Enjoy the pictures below and don’t forget to watch the video above!

Moi! I’m in love with these shoes. The color is perfect for Spring and Summer.

Anywho, really quickly I just wanted to share with you all what I wore yesterday to work. I saw Think Like a Man this past weekend and it was extremely funny and sweet. My favorite actress in the movie was of course Taraji P. Henson. She is one of my favorite actresses and she really puts her all in every role that she has ever been given. I absolutely loved her style and hair in the movie. Her look was classic and chic. She inspired me to get up yesterday morning and dress up a little differently than the norm.

So I won a Target gift card from Whitney of Nics-picks blog a few weeks ago and I also had another gift card from Target so I headed on over and picked up some goodies. I’ve been searching for a pair of nude pumps that weren’t that high so that I would be able to wear them to work. So I couldn’t leave the store with out bringing these home with me. I lasted the whole day in them and received a few compliments on them. Thanks Whitney!

Take a look ↓.

This Kohls Cares Dana Buchman Zebra Travel Mug is priced at just $5.00. This stoneware construction offers a long lasting use. You will also be able to place it in the dishwasher for cleaning and it comes with a silicone top. Perfect for traveling on long trips!

Kohls Cares Dana Buchman Zebra Umbrella and the Gold Toned Heart Charmed Bracelet are each priced at just $5. What an amazing deal! Most umbrella’s start off at $10 so by purchasing this umbrella you are supporting a cause and saving money all at the same time. I absolutely adore beaded bracelets and I wear them often. This bracelet is very cute and it goes with many different outfits.

I was so excited that I received this Zebra Lunch Tote from Kohls. I usually just put my lunch in a plastic bag and head out the door so I was uber excited that they sent me this cute lunch tote to use each day. This tote is priced at $10.

As you can see it is very spacious inside

The Kohls Care Snakeskin Trim and Pink Tote are perfect for work. Especially if you are like me and bring your Ipad, folders, and other particulars to work with you each day. These items are priced at $10 and are extremely durable and roomy.

Yesterday, I rocked this pink tote to church today and I actually received a couple of compliments on it. For just $10 you will own a cute bag that is easy on your shoulder and that can fit all your necessities.

I hope that this post inspired you all to head on over to your local Kohls store and purchase a couple of the items that I shared with you. For my online shoppers please do not hesitate to head on over to the website and you are welcome to order from there. With each item costing only $5 and $10 each, 100% of the net profit will go to supporting the fight against breast cancer.

Anywho, this past Saturday morning myself and a few other lovely ladies attended the National Coalition of 100 Black Women’s Leadership Breakfast at Jungle Island in Miami, Florida. There were six panelists who provided us with great knowledge on how to be successful with anything and everything that you plan to do. They encouraged us to look at where we are right now and plan that next step in our lives. I am twenty-five years old and I feel as though I need to use my 20′s as my grind period because in a couple of years I plan to get married and start a family. I will use this time to plan my life and keep my priorities in check. My biggest fear is that I will look back 5 years from now and wish I would have done this and that differently. I am glad that I was able to attend this breakfast because it has altered my outlook on life.

Panelists (L to R): Katy Soreson,Nikki Lewis Simon,Esq.,Violette Sproul,Laurinda Andujar,Annette Taddeo Goldstein, and Donna L. Ginn

I picked up this dress at Kohls during their Easter sale. I loved the fit of it and I knew I would be able to wear this dress again during the Spring and Summer season. The middle of the dress was a little big so I added a skinny belt to give it a better fit. I find myself shopping at Kohls almost every weekend and mainly because I find a 20% off coupon to their store each week which is always a plus. Especially considering the fact that 90% of their merchandise is consistently on sale. They have the cutest Spring dresses right now so I suggest that you head on over and check them out.

Well, it’s Friday and I am OFF. It felt so great to get up at 8:15 AM opposed to 6 AM! I can’t sleep in longer than that. Sad I know lol. So today starts my 4 day weekend. Yes I’m off Monday as well. Lucky ME! I have a jam packed weekend and excited to hang out with friends and family. It’s going to be awesome!

Anywho, about a month ago Beauty Blogger C. Michelle of C. Michelle Styles contacted me as well as two other Miami bloggers, Sche of Curves and Confidence and Jillian of NuSophisticate, who you all know that I am quite fond of, to be co-hosts for her beauty/fashion meet and greet event. Of course I agreed to participate because it is something that I haven’t experienced yet and it would be great exposure. I am just honored that C. Michelle thought to include me as a co-host for such a great event. Thank you so much for this opportunity!

Me and Dionne getting ready to learn about composting!

While pulling old lettuce from the ground I saw a bunch of dead millipedes that I originally shouted out that they were “Little Snakes” LOL! I guess I was a bit startled. These millipedes eat through the collard greens.

Dead Millipede’s!!!

Dionne Working!!

Natasha!!

Natasha and April of CookingWhitGrease chatting about our task!

I would most certainly share with you all each layer of composting that we did but I honestly can’t remember. I do know that we used old lettuce, horse manure, mulch, and water. The purpose of this task is to use all these materials as fertilizer to help the plants grow!

Almost done!!

We did IT!!!!

I volunteer regularly but I have never did anything this intense. I had a great time and learned something new about recycling and about composting. I would definitely do this again.

Do you help out in your community? 

Have a wonderful Tuesday and thanks for stopping by ✌.

I chose to be comfortable but still dressy at the same time. I bought this romper last year to wear to my 25th birthday dinner. It is very comfortable and versatile and I was so excited that the romper went well with my pink blazer. Usually when I attend events like these most of the time I’m standing up so I made sure to choose my shoes wisely. It wasn’t until the end of the night that my feet were feeling like they were in pain and Iris was kind enough to give me her seat so I could rest.

You can’t really see it but I am wearing a pin that says Style Boss. When I attended the It Girl Expo a few months back one of the vendors had a container full of pins that had different names on them. I thought my pin was so cute!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day ✌.
