  • Celebrate HER

    Hello Honeybees,

    March is Women’s History Month and last week we celebrated International Women’s Day. My spirit was so happy to see women celebrating other women. We told the world about all the women that inspire us and keep us going. We told the world about the women who mentor us. We told the world about the women who hold us up and have been there with us through it all.

    I’m glad that we have a day and a month to celebrate our sisterhood but for me celebrating the women in life happens everyday. It can be a text, a phone call, an email, a Facebook like or an Instagram heart. We support each other when things are rough and do the happy dance when things are going right.

    If there is a special woman in your life don’t wait for a special day or month to let her know. Stop what you are doing right now and reach out to tell her. Let her know how special she is to you.

    Go ahead I dare you to make her day.

  • Spring, Is That You?

    Hello Honeybees,

    It seems like January took a long time to move out and February played the “I don’t know what season it is” game. I am so over cold weather. I am over wet weather.

    Cold weather really makes me hibernate but I am committed to getting out. I need all the God given vitamin D that I can get.

    Memphis usually gets snow in February so the January snow this year threw me off. The back & forth weather of February was enough to keep people sick, especially during this horrible flu season. The winds are enough to keep me looking like an old lady with a scarf wrapped around my head to cover my ears. But I found a way to keep the wind out and stay stylist.

    As we venture into March it really is starting to feel like Spring in Memphis. We are still dealing with some rain and wind and some chilly days.  It’s kind of hard to know how to dress but of course we figure it out. To help prepare for Spring I have linked up with some of my favorite local bloggers to share some Spring looks.  Bianca at Curvaceouslybee, Ashley at Big World Huge Style, Chasity at Sweat In Mascara, Sherill at Sherill SMILEs, Desire at Mocha Divas , Faith at Faithfully Yours, and Almetria at Fit and Finally Free. Hop over to their blogs to see what they are wearing for Spring. We are sharing Spring trends all month long. Make sure you follow all our blogs so don’t miss anything.

    I can’t wait until Spring when I don’t have to bundle up to go out. I can’t wait to feel the warm breeze of Spring and sun on my skin.

    So Spring please come quick and stay awhile

  • My Tribe

    Hello Honeybees,

    Do you have a tribe?

    If so who is in your tribe?

    What’s the vibe of your tribe?

    Well I have a tribe, I actually have several, here and here . Kind of like the 5 tribes that make up Wakanda. I have several tribes that help keep this queen together. Last month I got together with one of my tribes to celebrate one of our own who recently earned her MBA. It’s important that we celebrate our wins, the big ones and especially the small ones. We try to get together often but between, family, work & LIFE it can be hard. We finally found a day & time that worked for all or rather we all made the time to celebrate. You make time for what’s important to you and this girl time was important.

    We decided on pot luck to help make it easier on the host, Me! We had a great time just catching up. We reminisced about the college days, old dating woes, the children, men and of course the future. We FaceTimed one of our daughters who is at Clark Atlanta. It’s just amazing to think that we all met when we were teens & now we have children from college graduates to middle school. Time waits for no wo(man), so you have to enjoy life in the moments.

    One thing that made this night extra special was our treasure boxes. We wrote notes to each other to keep in our boxes so that whenever we need a little encouragement we can go to our boxes. This way we always have someone to help adjust our crowns even if we can’t be there physically.

    I am so proud to have so many queens surrounding me. I am blessed that we help & encourage one another. Find your tribe and love them hard.
