“be crazy enough to know you can do anything you want in life”

Happy Friday!! This week…… I have been personally victimized by a mosquito/spider/spiquito, whatever it was. I currently have 10 bug bites. 10!!! And it ain’t pretty looking folks. Some are the size of a quarter and I can’t tell what type of bite it is. I have them all over my body (why me god?). On top of being a blood bank, I saw a gigantic cockroach in my building. I am Hermione in The Chamber of Secrets traumatized right now. I am not ok.

I now keep Raid with me at all times and bath in repellent. Who wants to hang out?

A few days ago I met with my friend Sam, from The New York Blonde, for lunch on her beautiful rooftop in Tribeca. As we chatted over a delicious salmon feast, we came upon the topic of why we really started blogging. Sam was chit-chatting with a brand a while back about an upcoming project. The brand asked her why she started to blog. As Sam talked about her reasoning, the brand was impressed with there was a meaning behind her starting a blog. It wasn’t because she loved fashion or saw a bunch of girls getting free perks and thought she should try it. She has a reason, a story, behind her blog. As she talked I started to really think about my reason. Sure I love fashion, writing, photography, and needed a creative outlet– so blogging made sense to me. It isn’t only because I always wanted to start my own business or I can bring a little color to the usual head to toe black wearing New York gal (a niche if you want to call it that). It is more than just connecting with others through my passion and life experiences. And it isn’t because I have been blogging since it was only for the nerds and I love it so much. It is all of the above really, but there is two main reasons I started this blog.

So why did I start blogging?

Next week I will be heading down south to Charleston, SC to celebrate my birthday! This is my first time visiting the charming southern city and I am beyond ecstatic! I have been obsessed with Charleston for the past few years and have been dying to visit. Finally my wish is coming true! There is a very good chance I may never come back to New York. I think I am going to fall even more in love with the city and move there, or so everyone tells me. I already do fit in– people here, upon meeting them,  think I have a southern accent. Which is news to me….

Happy Friday! This week felt, well, weird. I can’t really explain it. It was good, I had some really amazing moments, but the whole week still felt off. It was probably due to not being on a normal schedule. I had lots of late nights that turned into late mornings. I also have a lot on my mind as there are things ( amazing things) on the horizon. I think I may just have my head in the future.
