July has been a whirlwind. The style profile is inspired by 1990’s R&B, Yacht Rock, signature cocktails, community events, getting back on budget both enjoying and escaping the heat. Performances, street food, and prayer, lots of it.
In a nutshell it has been peppered by life lessons on friendship, and organizing get togethers with co-workers.
Style Watch
The outside aspect has been all about dresses, mostly pink, but not always. The flow of a cute dress just pumps up summer like never before. Also heels and tops compliment, as well as the blouse and trousers…Accessories Heavy!
Braided
Braids have saved my summer, I do less with more and I loves it. Braids for days!
Nail it!
Foodie Duty!
Outside cucumber lime water, watermelon cucumber mix, pineapple, papaya and mango juice are great ways to stay hydrated.
The diet definitely lapse with summer, consuming more goat, turkey for increased protein, more greens and fruits are needed. Normally it’s easy to cook healthy meals, but with the rise in food cost fruits and veggies are less on the cart. The true reason why? Eating out, happy hours cocktails and being more social after work. Will it last friends? The budget has to snap back well before summers end.
Decor!
Decor, cleaning is essential, you can buy and have all the furniture you could ever want but at the end of the day, clean your house. I must say summer does challenge the routine quite a bit, the natural want to be out, and when you come in, you just want to lay down. Don’t lose discipline in the summer, because friends or family may want to stay over, stay tidy.
In closing… .
Thank you so much for joining me on this July Gem 2025. May The LORD GOD bless and keep each and everyone one in Jesus Christ’s name, Amen! Until next time!
