    “If you’re sad, add more lipstick and ATTACK.” ~ Coco Chanel. My go-to motto. In fact, this last year I saw most women forgo 💄 lipstick because of wearing masks. Well SCREW THAT! I’ve been wearing #lipsense for almost four years now and it’s the only lip color that has lasted thru workouts, tears, kisses, and mask mandates! 🙌🏼 Have you ever tried it? With a huge variety of colors and glosses you can rock the PERFECT shade that makes you feel unstoppable. 💃🏻 Oh and another thing to celebrate.... #mississippi lifted the mask mandate yesterday. Most of us are being cautious and still wearing them indoors, but I cannot tell you how free I felt yesterday. How are things where you are? Each state is so very different! #abrandnewday #abrandnewway #senegencedistributor #senegencemakeup #stelladotstyle #southernblogger #southerncharm #cocochanel #makeuplooks #lipstickaddict #march2021 #jacksoncreatives #msinfluencer #msblogger #mysenelook
    Can y’all guess what March’s #abrandnewway sty Can y’all guess what March’s #abrandnewway style topic is?!? .... Anything GREEN 💚.... because... it’s my FAVORITE color! 🎉 Whether it’s mint, Kelly, Hunter, lime, or grass.... all shades of green are friends of mine. Our wedding colors were mint green, black, white and gold.... our daughters nursery was mint green, black and white... my birthstone is emerald... you get the picture. If you saw on my stories the last two days, I rocked #green so stay tuned for more ways to wear my fave color. What’s your favorite color?!? Drop me the emoji! ⬇️ #abrandnewday #favoritecolor #march2021 #springtransition #greeneverywhere #mississippi #msblogger #mississippiblogger #jacksoncreatives #southernblogger #jacksonms #budgetfashion #capsulewardrobe #wearwhatyoulove #simplify
    Instagram VS Reality 😂 Me and my bestie taking Instagram VS Reality 😂 Me and my bestie taking our daughters for a full- @americangirlbrand experience in #nashvilletn 😜 When I tell you that we’ve earned our wine, we abso-freaking-lutely did. 🍷 And while in the last 48 hours we have endured tears, squeals, laughter, whines, and hugs.... it’s been the best time for the four of us. Find the women you can be real with. They are gems! @sparkleboxkids #instagram #reality #findyourwomen #friendshipgoals #roadtrippin #abrandnewday #motojacket #girlmom #birthdayweekend #americangirls #mississippi #tennessee #southernmama #southernblogger
    🤔Girl Talk: have you ever been somewhere and ou 🤔Girl Talk: have you ever been somewhere and out of the corner of your eye you spot a woman who looks like she’s been ripped straight out of an Insta-ad? Tall, thin, tanned (but not too tanned!) ... perfectly bouncy hair, great smile, glowing skin... she is wearing the coolest “thrown-together” look that seems to never happen for you (even though you have bought the same outfit many times!) And you keep watching her and thinking “Wow....”.... and not in a “Hubba-Hubba” way, but in a “God, why can’t I look that effortless? Why can’t I appear that put together? Why can’t I have it all figured out?” And you try to remember that no one has it all figured out, but for the life of you, seeing her in all of her #perfectglory makes you feel completely less than. So you start picking apart yourself. Looking at the flaws. The bumps, the curves, the scars. And then it goes below the surface and you start selling yourself short of everything. Regrets about the past, all the shoulda, woulda, couldas..... all the leaps you didn’t take.... all the adventures you never embarked on. How you aren’t a good enough mom... are you really raising them right? Your marriage isn’t perfect and you know you both have changed so much since kids....do you even like each other anymore? Your job- is it your passion? Why aren’t you succeeding better- harder- more??? And the lies spiral out of control.... until you can’t see or hear or feel anything except the ONE recurring thought of “I AM NOT ENOUGH.” But wait..... I said LIES. All LIES. Lies formed when we were little girls or tweens or teens or from our parents or an old lover or a dickhead boss. And every single time we were left out of something or abandoned or made to feel less than - the lies would get bigger and stronger... to where the distinguishing factor of what was truth and what was a lie completely vanished. I may not know you, but I just want to say that if any of that rings true for you - any part- that I am sending you the biggest, tightest hug. And in case no one told you today- You’re freaking awesome. ❤️ Oh and that woman you saw earlier- she actually had forgotten deodorant that morning. 😉
    Consider me #influenced .... 🤷🏻‍♀️ I m Consider me #influenced .... 🤷🏻‍♀️ I mean, can you blame me??? I know, I know.... it looks straight up like the exact top my mom wore when I was a kid- but I LOVE it for that reason and more! 😂 My friends @the_longweekender and @covet.on.the.go are rocking it in their own magical way and I am just trying to keep up! 😜 What’s one thing that you’ve been #influenced to try? Was it worth it? It was it just #meh 😜 ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #targetstyle #sharemytargetstyle #liketoknowit #ltkunder50 #targetfashion #targetfinds #momstyle #momstyleblogger #jacksonms #mississippi #msblogger #msbloggerbabes #jacksoncreatives #msinfluencer #targetdeals #targetdoesitagain #denimondenim #acidwash #90sfashion #whowhatwear #southernblogger #abrandnewday #wearitloveit
    Getting that #perfectshot 😂 @bryan_tri_s captur Getting that #perfectshot 😂 @bryan_tri_s captured this during the #galentinesday event @shopnorthparkms and I love it. Behind every photo you see online there is a human being working hard to capture it. Usually in some awkward ass pose looking completely ridiculous while people around them wonder what the hell they are doing. 😂 It reminds me of how there’s always more to the story than what meets the eye.... a reminder I need to keep close to heart. ❤️ What’s the most awkward thing you’ve done for a photo?
