Q and Ayeee w/ lovetlhayden

Happy Sunday Classy Crew! I can't believe August is almost here! Where has the time gone?? It felt like we just got out of school yesterday. Please don't leave us summer break!! 😢

But before we say goodbye to July and hello to August, I want to throw it back to the beginning of July when I went to Chicago. During my trip, I had the opportunity to meet one of my sister's friends, Tamika Hayden.  She is a branding creative/ girl boss who owns her own business where she not only blogs but sells home & office decor, dorm room bedding, and inspiring accessories. The items on her online shop are super cute, especially the throw pillows.  *Click her name above to see her website!* Of course I had to make the most of the visit, so we ended up doing a little Q&A about blogging and being a modern-day female entrepreneur.

                                                                                  So without further ado...

Friendship Reunions & Thrift Shopping

                                                                                   Hey classy crew!😊

Confused? Don't be. Welcome to the SQUADDDD!  (Do people even say squad anymore!?!😅) Oh well! I wanted to give you guys, my lovely readers, a name so we can feel more like a cute, little family instead of a random group of individuals reading words created from my brain. Do you guys like it? I do and I hope you do too. :)

Anyways, I practically spent almost everyday this week hanging out with friends and I am definitely grateful for it. The week started out with reconnecting with two friends from middle school; we discussed the past four years with each other and relived past memories over toasted Panera Bread sandwiches. Towards the end of the week, I ate lunch once again with my Stats girls (food is always a great way to bring people together😋) and later that day, I, and my counselor aid chicas, satisfied our sweet cravings with some much needed fro-yo (this summer heat is no joke!🔥🔥) And to finish off the week, another friend and I decided to do a little thrift store challenge.

Travel Diary: Chicago

Hey lovelies! It has been a hot minute since I have updated my blog. I know. I know. In the beginning of the summer, I said I would upload every Sunday, but I feel like it's more important for me to post content that I am proud of sharing and have spent quality time working on versus creating content to just have something up. So yes, I have missed 2 Sundays in a row, but let me tell you why. For the past week, I've been in Chicago spending some much needed quality time with family especially my older sisters. It's not often I get to "play" tourist and explore a city that's so rich in art, culture, music, food, and countless other things that would involve way too many commas for this sentence😜. Of course you know I had to take of advantage of this opportunity, so I decided to make another travel diary video. If you haven't seen my 1st travel diary video, click this link: Travel Diary (Hawaii)

Now sit back (or stand up/it's a free country😆). Relax (maybe in a recliner?) And enjoy!(preferably with some popcorn 😄🍿)  Let me know down in the comments below if you like these travel diary style posts:) and most importantly, don't forget to "stay classy".😊
