Welcome back, y’all! Ask anybody who’s friends with me and they’ll tell you that I love myself. Even more so, I love talking about myself. Coupled with the fact that I’m a Leo (if you’re not familiar with astrology, just know we’re pretty self-centered), you’d think that a post like this would be pretty easy to write, yeah?
I actually struggled a bit to pick things that I liked about myself.
For many people, it’s way easier to pick what you don’t like about yourself instead of what you do. With the rise of Facetune and other editing apps, your flaws might be in the forefront of your mind even more than they usually are.
Though I initially struggled a bit, I can’t wait to share the things I love about myself!
1. My hair
Y’all, I am so in love with my hair, even more so since I started wearing natural styles. For the longest I would always have my hair straight until I finally said ENOUGH and decided to wear it in its natural state.
That was a little over four years ago and I don’t regret doing that in the slightest. I rarely get my hair straightened and stretch/dry my hair using non-heat methods.
When my hair isn’t straight or in its natural state, it’s in a protective style, which I love as well. One of my most recent ones was with gray hair and to be honest…can’t wait to go gray when I’m older.
2. My sense of style
My sense of style has definitely evolved since high school. While I wouldn’t say I’d wear whatever I wanted in high school, I definitely didn’t find my niche until college.
I alternate between skinny jeans, flare jeans and wide legged pants. My tops consist of oversized sweaters, button downs or any other variety of cute shirts. For pants, booties and tennis shoes are my go-tos.
My color schemes tend to be muted (browns, greys and yellows), but I am a fan of the occasional pop of color. When it comes to textures, I love fur (fake, of course), knit and denim.
I have a lot of favorite outfits! You can always find my favorite ones on my Instagram!
3. My music taste
So my music taste is crazy diverse. In fact, I hate when ask me the question, “What’s your favorite song? Genre? Album? Etc.?” because that question is so hard for me to answer.
I like Niall Horan, but I also like Nicki Minaj. I love AWOLNATION, but I also love Aminé. My music taste is so diverse that you never know what you’re going to hear when you hit shuffle on my Spotify app!
4. My makeup skills
By no means am I a beauty guru, not even close. But I have definitely improved a lot since I started playing around with makeup. I am a fan of bold brows and even bolder lip colors, as well as liner sharp enough to kill somebody.
5. My personality
Finally, the last thing I like about myself is my personality. I’m pretty blunt and honest, but I do have a kind side (believe it or not). I am rather sarcastic, but willing to lend a hand to anybody in need especially if you’re really close to me.
I’m friendly when I want to be and have a pretty decent sense of dry humor from time to time.
I could go on and on about the things that I like about myself, but I want to hear from y’all.

Until next time,
