AD | One thing that has always gotten my son hyped AD | One thing that has always gotten my son hyped is a new book! So I was excited to share with him, and also let you guys know, that the mega-best-selling Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by @RickRiordan is now in paperback with stunning new cover art by award-winning illustrator Victo Ngai.
 
As school is wrapping up in a matter of weeks-not-months for us, I am glad he can dive into this 5-book series from @readriordan. It is recommended for ages 10 and up, and you know it has to be good because it has sold more than millions of copies and has appeared on the New York Times bestseller list for over 10 years.
 
Whether you are new to Percy or a longtime fan, this gorgeous paperback set is a must-have for your library. We are excited about adding the complete series to ours!

Hey fam, May is #mentalhealthawareness month & I wanted to remind you that prioritizing your mental health is very important.

It is a great time to check-in with yourself, give yourself grace & take time off (insert what that thing is for you.) Take it from someone who has had her fair share of lows. Open up to someone you feel safe with and seek professional help if you need to, there are so many resources available online including subsidized counseling.

There is no shame in seeking help cos tbh Adulting is hard. I repeat No shame. My faith in God has been a big part of my healing journey & I am in therapy and have been for a while now. It honestly has been the best decision I ever made for myself. 

Lastly, do check in on your strong friends, the ones that always seem to have it all together & are always there for everyone.

Fashion is great, traveling is amazing but taking care of yourself from the inside is more important. Sending you ❤️P.S. For my friends in RL, I am fine just wanted to share this.

Managing expectations in relationships

Managing expectations in my relationships(mostly friendships) has been something I struggle with sometimes. I was recently chatting with one of my sister and she mentioned that she was considering ending a friendship or to put it in a better way re-evaluate the relationship due to how it became a one sided situation. I love this affirmation recently posted by Alex Elle ” I give myself permission to step away from one sided relationships” for your own sanity it might just be the best course of action. That isn’t my focus today, I am sharing lessons I have learnt from managing my expectations.

Before I dive in, Atlanta’s Summer has been super hot like most places so staying stylish but comfortable has been a priority for me. I love this chambray (light denim) jumpsuit called the Yesi Denim Jumpsuit by Ladyee Boutique. The price point is fantastic under $70! a steal in my opinion and I love Ladyee Boutique for their quality pieces. See all the times I wore Ladyee HERE. I am wearing a size small (my regular size) so it runs true to size. I am 5’6 (just above average) so length wise it is worked perfectly. The belt detail is a huge selling point for me too, it defined my waistline.

5 ways to Managing expectations

It isn’t always about me…

I would be lying if I said I didn’t like attention from the important people in my life as it should be right? But I am learning to understand that I won’t always get that but it is perfectly okay. It is okay for people to not always be there cos who honestly is that perfect?

Give the benefit of doubt….

This can be a tough one but thinking the best versus assuming the worst makes a huge difference. I hope the best in my friendships but sometimes people fall flat but it’s perfectly okay. Keeping scores doesn’t help and sometimes they might be going through something that they just aren’t ready to share.

Stay in my lane…

Sometimes, it is okay to step back and be okay with that. This can be tough without alienation but I can testify that some friendships have changed for the better from jus Don’t leave room for grudges but be there if needed.

managing expectations

Don’t give up just yet…

Just because someone is being weird now doesn’t mean they will be in 5 months. Patience is key in relationships, so take a chill pill, like literally lol.

The feeling might just not be mutual…

Just because you place high expectations in a friendship doesn’t mean the feeling is mutual. This can be hard to swallow but learning this has saved me a lot disappointment.

While I touched on friendships mostly, it does apply in your relationships with your significant other, kids, parents, etc. Remember to give yourself the permission to step away if it comes to that cos live goes on and you don’t want to stop your’s from moving forward.
