💌 What do I LOVE about Spring at Alabama’s Beaches 💌 What do I LOVE about Spring at Alabama’s Beaches?

It feels like the coast writes its own Valentine’s card… and honestly, I’m just signing my name at the bottom 

Spring is the sweet spot: softer crowds, slower rhythms, and just enough sunshine to make everything feel a little sweeter.

Consider this your sign to plan the getaway 💕

A few months ago, I had the honor of speaking to t A few months ago, I had the honor of speaking to the Junior League of Birmingham about my journey from blog to book.

Tonight, the conversation shifted. This time, we talked about self-care.

Now listen, I knew better than to get in front of a room full of dynamic, accomplished women and try to tell them the “how” of self-care. I mean, we know what to do, right? We’ve read the lists. We’ve bought the candles. We’ve saved the quotes. 😉

So instead, I offered a different angle.

What if self-care isn’t always something extra you have to add to your life…
What if it’s found in using the time, place, and talent you already have? What if it’s serving in the capacity that truly fills your cup?

That’s exactly what I’ve done with @secretbirminghambook 

Writing it stretched me, restored me, and reminded me that caring for yourself can look like honoring your gifts. Even when life is full.

So grateful for the space to share, reflect, and grow alongside such an incredible group of women.

Visiting the International African American Museum Visiting the International African American Museum was an unforgettable experience.

This space honors untold stories, lived experiences, resilience, and brilliance. Stories that deserve to be remembered, revisited, and celebrated every day, not just Black History Month. 

I’m grateful for the opportunity to learn, reflect, and celebrate a history that continues to shape who we are.

This month, I’m talking about Ruffner Mountain, which explains the makeup-less look. (Forgive me, Mom🤣) But I did know that if I wasn’t wearing lipstick, I’d better put on some earrings. #ifykyk
