I Have Something up my sleeve !!

Hello Loves! I know it's been a minute since I last posted but y'all know me... I needed a bit of time to reflect and get some things ready for the new year.

First thing's first. Updates. Mommy hood is going well. The boys are growing and learning right before my eyes and it's so amazing to watch. Business is going good as well. I have decided to give the studio another go round. Stay tuned. It's going to be beautiful.

I finally have a schedule set for everything. It will go as follows: 

Blog: a post will be created every Thursday and Sunday! Please turn the notifications in so that you don't miss anything !!

Hey everyone! I've been gone so long, I know. I had to do some evolving, some growing, some soul cleaning and things that nature. This post will be a life update, but first, let me just take the time to say thank you for all the support from when I was really active here on the site. I took some time this morning to look over my analytics and y'all were really coming through for the kid! Yeeeeesss. Ok, so here's how life has been:

Work. Okay so my work life been amazing. I didn't get to announce it to you all because I was sooo busy, but I now i have my own studio! Yes, a studio. Full out esthetics. The name is Glitz Beauty Lounge and it's the best thing I've brought to life (besides the boys). We are located in Philly and offer everything from lash extension, to makeup, to nails...all things beauty except hair. I am so blessed to be working for myself and doing what I love. BUT I recently found a part time job because business can be slow some weeks and I get bored. So basically, three times a week I will be working for Brand Connections (a marketing firm) as a beauty concierge  for Target. I DO NOT WORK FOR TARGET. I am hired by a contractor to work through their company through target. awesome right? I will be blogging my first day of my work so that you can see what it is ill be doing.

Momming. The most challenging thing I believe I've ever been faced with is raising Nur and Nova. I love my boys to death, but being a mother is NO JOKE. Nur is now a year old and Nova is 8 months old. I think because they're both under two, it makes things like 10 times more complicated. Yeah lol but I'm blessed to have them both.

Living. Now when I say this, I don't mean my physical house. I mean, in general, just... living. I haven't been the happiest I've ever been lately. I won't get into details, but I have been exposing myself to the world more: trying new foods, removing bad energy from my life, focusing more on enjoying instead of fighting the universe when things don't go as planned. I plan to travel soon. I feel like it will ease me a bit more if I'm outside of my norm.

Just Being Me. Other than all those things mentioned, I've basically just been watching Netflix shows, waiting for Insecure, A-typical, and Orange is the New Black to air new seasons, Listening to Lip Service, The Read, The Friend Zone, and living my days like they're my last.

Balenciaga Tried It !

Balenciaga is TRYING ME! 

Okay so I know you all remember the mesh Chinese slippers that made their way into becoming a fashion trend in the mid 2000's. They came in just about every color you could think of and they were available for purchase at your local corner store, bodega, etc. If you're from the tri state area, the DMV, or NYC, you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. If not, I'm speaking of these: 

 

Remember now?

Okay so the luxury brand known as Balenciaga is bringing them back on the scene... for $1545! The brand debuted the old trend during their spring collection last year. Now, everything that a designer presents on the runway isn't always for retail. Sometimes it's all for show, decoration. But these slippers actually made it to the site! 

 

The slippers have made a HUGE fuss on social media based on the fact that they retail in urban neighborhoods for $3.00  in a variety of colors. But, Balenciaga has decided they only are retailing the product in white. Great. The color easiest to get filthy. 

Anyway who better to get a trend going than Rihanna? The fashionista was spotted recently sporting the footwear at a family baby shower. 

 

Now the question lies: Buy or Bye? 

Me personally, I would have to give these a Bye. The price isn't worth it, knowing that I could, if still in style (no shade to Rihanna), purchase these for $1543.75 less than the retail price. The only difference would be the name on the product and the quality... it better be for that price, OK!  

So let's hear your opinion in the comments... BUY? Or BYE?
