Can I be your crush this Woman Crush Wednesday?

I’ll even bring the Vive Seltzer.

This is the perfect date night flavor, cherry 🍒- Vive Seltzer has no artificial sweeteners - I get really bad headaches from fake sugar. It’s full of natural fruit flavors with no icky after taste, ya’ll know what I mean. It’s also gluten free, with only 100 calories and 2 grams of carbs so it doesn’t mess up my waistline.

​
Would you try this flavor? You can find VIVE at Kroger and more locations, visit here to find out!

Summer's best kept secret, well a late Summer's best kept secret is right in the heart of downtown Cincinnati, Ziegler Pool.

Now, let me just start by saying that I LOVE to swim. My parents would drop off me and my older brothers to our local swim club growing up. I started swimming at the early age of 5 or 6 years old. My parents made sure we were all great swimmers - we all can swim well- except my Mom. She never learned to swim, but we are working on that :)

I decided that since my hair has gone back to being natural this would be the perfect time to start picking up swimming again. Yes, I am a Black girl who swims - who actually gets under the water and lets her hair get wet :) When I have children I am for sure going to make sure they know how to swim as well. There has been too many deaths due to children, especially minority kids not knowing how to swim.

I met up with Markus, the director of the pool - who knew me and my family from our old swim club days. It's truly a small world! Ziegler pool is making sure everyone who comes to the pool is safe and stays healthy during this crazy time! I felt completely safe after hearing and reading about all the safety precautions such as:

• -Wearing a mask while entering and in the common areas
• -Signing up for 3 sessions with a maximum amount of people during each session
• -They clean and sanitize the pool after each 2 hour swim session

You can listen to more details in the video below with Markus. I encourage everyone to check out Ziegler pool this season while you still can!

This is what confidence looks like.

I’m so happy I gained my confidence back with Profile by Sanford! It has not been easy but the results have been so WORTH it. The non-scale victories have really done it for me. There have been many days where I want to give into temptation and just say, “If I have this, will it really hurt me?” But then I remember the reason why I wanted to start this journey in the first place. The food will be there, I’m not missing out on anything.

A year ago I would have not put on a swimsuit, let alone take pictures in one and look at me now! You can’t keep me out of one :) It’s not just what the scale says but how I feel - and I love that about this program.

After a LONG day, one of my favorite things to do to relax is to take a shower and do some skincare while burning an amazing candle. I want to introduce you to a black women owned company called 15th & Elm Co.

The candle featured here is, Soothe - the scent reminds me of sitting on a beach in a tropical paradise - which does not sound bad to me right now. I could smell this candle before I even opened up the shipping box. Please make sure you go support this amazing business!
