Word of the Year

Follow me

So at the beginning of 2018 I feel like everyone had a word of they year.

I had never heard of it before and honestly thought it was kinda weird.

But ever since the start of 2018 one word keeps coming up.

In every sermon, every small group, literally everything.

SILENCE.

I mentioned in an earlier post how my small group was reading Present Over Perfect.

You should read it.

But basically I’ve realized that I am so so so busy all the time that I’m never actually silent. I’m never alone. I always have music playing, always watching Netflix, always talking on the phone.

Honestly, silence kind of freaks me out and makes me uncomfortable.

But I’ve been trying to be silent. Even if it’s just not playing music when I drive or sitting for a few minutes to relax.

It’s changed the game.

I’m not good at it at all but the more I do it, the more I want to.

The more I feel more connected to God.

The more peace and joy I feel.

It’s kind of crazy.

So, I want to continue being silent throughout 2018.

Whether it’s simply sitting, driving or journaling.

The word of 2018 is

SILENCE.

What’s your word of 2018?

XOXO,

My Promise To You

Follow me

Hey y’all!!!! Long time no talk!!

I’ve been kinda absent lately.. I’m sorry.. but ya girl is baaaackk!

So I’ve been having lots of fun with my insta stories lately.

You should go follow me @lifeofmequeenb (;

Last night I talked about my first brand partnership!! Eeeek!!

I’m supes excited about it.

With growing my blog and starting to work with brands and companies I want to set the ground out straight and get us on the same page.

It’s a big deal for me to have brands reach out to me and work with me. To me, it means they see value in my content and believe what I’m selling (figuratively). It’s very special to me and makes me feel like I’m doing good.

Lately, I feel like there is a lot of back lash against content creators and readers and creators and creators hating on each other for who they work with and how they work with them.

Ok here are some promises I have to you…

I promise…I am always going to do my best to not put out content or work with brands that I don’t believe in.

I promise… not to bash someone else’s work they are spending time and effort on online.

I promise…. If I have/see an issue with my content or others’, just politely address the situation in a private message, NOT in a tweet (:

I want this to be as positive as possible for me, every reader and every other blogger.

LMK if you have any questions at any time, if you have any complaints or suggestions.

I rly do love u all!!!

XOXO,

Ew Yuck + 5 Tips

Follow me

Well… this yucky sickness that everyone seems to be getting has finally hit me..

All I want to do is sleep but I can only have one absence in two of my three classes today + I have an assignment due in the other…so guess who is getting up and heading to campus today (I raise my hand with ultimate sass).

Maybe my profs will get sick bc they’re forcing me to come in today when I clearly don’t need to be around other people…. Not that I wish this yuck on anyone buuut u get it

I figured today was the perfect day to share my fav tips and tricks for when you’re sick.

Rule #1

Shower

ya u should always stay clean but no matter what sickness I have a shower always makes me feel 100x better, it’s fact

Rule #2

Jammies

matching jammie sets go perf with yuckiness right??

Rule #3

hot + cold

drink a hot drink, drink a cold drink..repeat + don’t stop

Rule #4

chick fil a

I have yet to find one situation where chick fil a is not the answer. I craaaaave nugs + soup when I’m sick and cfa pulls through everytime.

(@chickfila sponsor me plz)

Rule #5

comfort movies

we all have those movies that bring us comfort, that take us to a diff place and make us feel warm and fuzzy inside. For me those movies/shows are Harry Potter, Hunger Games and Gilmore Girls. If I’m sick u best bet I’m watching one of these from my comfy bed.

I hope none of you get sick but if ya do, I hope these help bc as soon as I get out of class today u know where u can catch me (:

XOXO,
