Calling all friends! Man, how long has it been since we’ve last chatted? Before I begin this diary post, I have to first THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU for being there for a sista! All the love shown made me feel so incredible and am honored to have such an army of women who from all over, (some I know, some I don’t) went out of their way to send me songs, scripture, sharing your stories and the prayers...I felt them! Thank you instagram family. Second thing, this diary post has been … [Read more...]
current elliott
I'm sure I'm the first in your inbox to notify you that it's officially Fall. No?? Didn't think so. I've packed (some) of my summer digs away because let's face it, I live in Texas and we all know how the weather likes to toy with us. I mean sure, drink your pumpkin spice latte's if you want but if it's 90 degrees out in the middle of October, I'll be hydrating so I don't melt when I walk outside. Transitioning your wardrobe can be tough, like I said, I live in Texas. With that said, it's … [Read more...]
first stop: fort worth, texas
It's FINALLY here! My FIRST 'My Texas' travel post! Being a lover of travel and clearly an even bigger lover of Texas, I decided to add a little slice of road trip heaven for those who want to know my favorite hotels, shops, eats and drink. I love traveling all over Texas and get asked from many of you who follow my social media channels, what are my go-to spots? Well, I'm about to share them with you! First stop: Fort Worth, Texas aka Cowtown, Funky Town, Fort Crunk and Where the … [Read more...]
very fine south
One thing that I do love about social media is the connections one can make with influencers, creatives, the movers and the shakers and so on... I came across this brand, Very Fine South on instagram a couple of years ago. I immediately wanted to not own every bag but had to become friends with this amazing creative, who with careful detail, makes each bag by hand. You read that right...by hand. I look up to women like this. The type of women who pour their heart and soul into their brand, … [Read more...]
you’ve been assigned this mountain
“You’ve been assigned this mountain to show others it can be moved.” What does this quote mean to you? What is the first thought that pops up in your head? Does it inspire you or does it do the exact opposite? I’ve had this quote on my phone for about three weeks now. I’ve been reading it over and over and trying to really get a grasp on how this really makes me feel. There were days were I felt super inspired by it and wanted to start climbing and show others that, “Yes! This mountain you … [Read more...]
Get past your past
“The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.” – Steve Maraboli I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, we are not created to be alone. Humans are social creatures that crave human interaction. And while it would be amazing if those interactions were always positive, the truth is, they’re not. Sometimes they are brutally sad, negative and downright mean. And, for some … [Read more...]
second home
One of my best guy friends has hinted around for a while now that he'd really, really, REALLY like to go to Tulum so we put that to life and packed our bags and we en route to my second home, Tulum, MX. I had some work out there so the timing was perfect and I couldn't wait to show him what I've come to love the past three years. One thing about my friend, he's traveled the world so at first I wondered, "how would this compare to everything he's seen?" Once I drove up into the jungle, … [Read more...]

We do not want you to give this holiday too much life. What do we mean? Well...let's chat. Time to talk Valentine's … [Read more...]
mellow yellow
This weekend has been nuts you guys! My house is under construction, dad has surgery on Valentine's Day (prayers up please!) and my sweet mom and I are splitting the to-do list in getting him ready for his big surgery. My sweet dad felt bad he wasn't able to take mom out for Valentine's Day but what he doesn't know is I'm bringing Valentine's Day to them!! I thought it would be fun to bring yummy treats, balloons, maybe a candle to set the mood (what does that even mean?) and do my best to … [Read more...]
dressing “up”
One of the things I wrote down for 2017 was that I would dress up more. No, not a resolution but just something I wrote down to myself, for myself. I live in casual clothes. I love keeping it casual!! That's the beauty of working from home or is it? I almost got too comfortable and was beginning to let myself slip jeans and tee every single day. So whether it's errands around town, meetings (yes, I kept it casual there too), working outside from the home...I told myself it's time to dress up … [Read more...]
