Sharing a Moment...

I snagged this pic from my Instagram feed. Baby Ian climbs on everything these days and a few days ago he climbed on the sofa to watch Peppa Pig(a cartoon series that Zion really enjoys). Zion is smitten with the character Peppa Pig. Anyway, I thought they looked so cute sitting there together...

We've had back to back guests for the last few weeks so I've been exceptionally busy. I will be catching up with everyone soon. Blessings and a lovely day to everyone. XX

Classy 60s French House

Sadly I was not able to find any detailed info about this house, but the interior is really nice and worth checking out.  Look at these colors, patterns and collection of mid century modern furniture.  Also the wooden ceiling  beam are truly awesome.

House Hunting in Jamaica: What you get for $1.16mil

I was so giddy with excitement when I happened upon this article while perusing the New York Times recently. It’s been awhile since I’ve visited Jamaica and for a few minutes I was able to transport myself to a place that holds many of my fondest memories… If I could afford it, I would purchase this 3 bedroom waterfront villa (in the parish of Portland) in a heartbeat.

simple white kitchen. love the archway!

loving the tile work and the simple elegance in this dining room. it’s no surprise that the outdoor space is just a stone throw away.

master bedroom nestled amongst nature

deck extended over the water with a coral reef in place to protect against rough waters.

Jamaica, land of beauty! What a villa! Blessings and a great day to all. XX

Outfit Inspired by Orthaheel: Pin Me!:-)

I was recently asked to participate in an Orthaheel campaign where I would create an outfit around a pair of their sandals. I was attracted to their brand because their shoes are manufactured with orthopedic technology that is geared toward the relief of heel pain and the relief of pain if you suffer from plantar fasciitis. I’ve had plantar fasciitis under my right foot for a while. I have gotten in treated in the past, but I do still have some discomfort. The folks at Orthaheel gave me the option to choose the pair I wanted, so I chose these called the Hampton Toe Post.  I was pleasantly surprised at how stylish they are and I’ve received numerous compliments from people of all ages about how lovely they look. Of course, as to be expected they are super, super comfortable and one could walk in these for hours.

What is the Orthaheel Campaign?

Well, after I’ve styled my look, I have to pin it and hope for it to be repinned a gazillion times. I plan on pinning that first image since the sandals are shown more clearly.  The most pinned look(hopefully mine gets a prize). I’ve also decided if I win that I will have a giveaway on the blog to give the prize away. It’s a really great prize too!.

Details on what I’m Wearing Above:

Top: Old Navy

White shorts: Borrowed from my bestie

Cuff: CrazyandCo

Ring and necklace: (from my collection)I think I purchased them from Belk

Sandals: Orthaheel

Although the post is sponsored by Orthaheel, all my thoughts on the sandals are my own. Also, I noticed that they also have footwear for men. Just fyi.

So, are you going to help me win this thing or what? I figure I could fit under categories like color/colour, natural hair, afro, hair,  fitness, shoes, fashion(maybe?),… I know my Pinterest game/presence sucks. I really need to work on that! Thanks in advance! Blessings and happy Wednesday. XX
