2013 The year of release

 

After long conversations with my girlfriends we all came to one conclusion, there are somethings within our lives that we have to let go of before we set foot into 2013. 2012 has been an interesting year for so many of us. Some of us have battled illnesses, graduated, had financial trouble, lost family members, got promotions, got jobs, failed, been successful, fallen down a couple times but we're still here and we made it to the end. The old folk always remind us that "life is about taking the good with the bad and making the best of it" and for the most part that's how 2012 has been for me.

In the last couple weeks i've felt so burdened and I realized that there were things that I was holding on to for a while. People that I should have let go of, words spoken to me that I should have not taken to heart...things like that.

So with that being said, my girlfriends and I will be compiling lists of all the things we need to let go of. Before we burn the list we will be in prayer to ask God to help us to release those issues as well as show us other issues within our lives that we need to let go of. These lists will then be burned on New Year's Eve as an act of release.  If you want to join in with us, feel free to do so. I'll add more updates on this topic in the New year!

Introduction

Hey Guys, I'm Drea and I love all things elegant. I've never blogged before but I wanted to do something different and come out of my comfort zone. I've just completed my first degree in the Bahamas and hopefully i'll meet the rest of my educational pursuits while still looking totally fabulous.

 I started this blog to showcase things that I love as well as to be a point of inspiration for those just like me. No i'm not crazy lol, but I am over 5'9 and I've struggled with major insecurities about being tall my whole life, but in the past few years God has given me a new outlook on my life and I've really began accepting myself. I love fashion especially that which is timeless and elegant. I also love re-purposing items. Hopefully the tips and styles I provide will help you to curtail your own personal style or amp it up in any way. In May of this year I decided to go natural. For me this was not a bandwagon decision but I wanted to see my curls.

This blog will be a compilation of things inspirational, transitioning/natural hair, and of course budget friendly fashion and tips for the student like me. I've just started my youtube channel to also help me log my journey to natural hair. I hope that you'll all continue on with me.


XOXO Blessings and Love
