Mothers Day Gift Ideas

Hello!

Thank God it's Thursday! Haha. I have one last final today; a group presentation. Then, I get to go home, just for a bit though. EIther way, I'm still pumped! I can't wait to see my mommy, daddy and siblings! Yipee! :)

Well, as you all know, Mothers Day is right around the corner; Sunday, May 12! I do appreciate my parents and what they've done for me, anytime I can. But, it's never a bad idea to show more of your love, on a day especially set aside for that.

I decided to come up with some gift ideas, that can be given to those lovely women in our lives. I know my mom would appreciate any of those items below. So, take a look and let me know what you think.

Mothers Day Gift Ideas

     
  1. Forever21 Butterfly Print Scarf
  2.  
I don't know why most of the the items I chose are nude, gold and black. Haha. Well, those shades can be paired with other various colors, so it's fine.
 
All these gifts are budget friendly; affordable. The Gold Watch is a bit pricey, but they are gifts I would pick out for my mom. In fact, I'm thinking of gifting my mom a gold watch (or a bag); she loves watches! But, if you're not able to present your mom (or the lovely women in your life) with any of these gifts, you can always buy a nice card with flowers. Your mom will definitely appreciate that, or whatever else you decide to give her!  It really is the THOUGHT that counts! :)
 
Take care! :)

Sunday Brunch

Happy Monday! I hope you had a good weekend!

Today marks the first day of final exams week for me. I have a few exams and a presentation this week. Please, keep me in your prayers! :) 
 I know some people refer to Friday as "Friday Funday", well why can't Sunday be known as "Sunday Funday?" Ha! For me, Sunday is a fun-day. I'm always excited for Sunday to come, even more than I am of Friday! :)

The outfit below was created with the 'fun' theme in  mind. Check it out:

And yes! This look is appropriate for Sunday service (and brunch), a dinner date, birthday party or any other occasion you consider to be 'fun'.

Take care! :)

SHE by Jasmine Marie

Hey loves! How are you?
 
Do you remember this post? Well, the lovely lady of TheJourn3y has been hard at work for a while now; steaming up a deep interest of hers. For a very long time, she's always dreamed of having her own T-shirt line. Well, on April 22, 2013, that dream of hers was fulfilled, by God's grace, hard work and dedication! :)
 
Let's hear a bit of background information from Jasmine: "I have been working on the idea for the t-shirt line since I started the blog and it is truly a blessing for my dream to now become a reality. I have been blessed by the support & encouragement, I have received from customers, family, friends and fellow entrepreneurs! Words cannot express my gratitude for your love & positive energy."
 
SHE (the woman within) "is the name of The Journ3y's exclusive line. The first design, Love SHE was created to empower women to love and accept themselves. Each one of us is created in God's image; we are fearfully and wonderfully made."
 
The SHE line, works with various women entrepreneurs to bring you stylish finds, to suit your style and ocassion. SHE takes pride in supporting, encouraging, empowering and uplifting others.
 
Here are some fabulous items from the SHE line:

I really like the graphic design and colors on the shirt. It can be dressed up or down. I also like the way the shirt was styled, in the above picture. Keeping the theme of black, white and gold, was definitely a great choice. Fab pants too! :)

Swing into Spring

Hello loves!

I hope all is well with you. I haven't posted in a while and I do have my reasons. This post here, explains some (but, not all) of my reasons.

What a Relaxer is Really Doing to Your Hair

I came across this video on YouTube, and I thought I'd share with you. This is no offense to those who are relaxed (I once was), but it's very informative and educative.

 I actually learned much more about my hair and relaxers, than I knew before! :)

Please, watch the video till the end.


Any thoughts?
Please, be wise with your comments. :)

Take care! :)
