From a shy little girl to a strong woman…

My journey is a beautiful messy blend of struggles and passions, tears and smiles, strength and weaknesses, opportunities and challenges, achievements and lessons… 

I am married to my best friend and a first time mother to the most precious baby boy. A communication and media expert by day, a cook at night and a full time mother, I try to juggle gracefully between my family, my job and myself.

I am passionate about writing… I love playing with makeup… I travel to collect memories… I laugh because its the cure to pain… I practice mindfulness… I believe in self care… Self love comes first… To empower is to be empowered… Successful women inspire me…  

This platform is for all women, the married and the single, the newlywed and the mother, the passionate and the dreamer, the free spirit and the traditionalist.

Love & Happy thoughts
