I choose me ✨

*inserts corny joke about oranges* 🍊

T: If you had to describe yourself, how would you? Me: I’m a vibe(.) I am internally solid. My soul is resilient. My energy is contagious. My mind is at peace. My heart is full of joy. I heal when necessary. I move in love. I extend Grace. I forgive the unforgivable. I’m confident in who I am because I know who I am. I move to the beat of my own drum. The external is just a bonus over here✨

June came and went with a quickness. Here’s a #photodump of a few of my favorite moments from the month. ✨

Seasons change. I posted on my story about two weeks ago that I was in a rough season and many of you reached out and thanked me for the transparency because you too are in your own hard seasons. Often times, we feel like we are the only ones. I’m here to remind you that you are not alone! Seasons change and that is OKAY. It won’t always be peaches & cream. It’s how you respond in the new season that matters. What lesson will you learn? Will this rough season break you? Or will it make you better in even the smallest way? You can’t wait until the season isn’t hard anymore to be happy or have peace. You have to find your happiness & peace in each season, every single day. My light still shines daily because I choose to overcome every obstacle thrown my way. I refuse to sulk in the moments that are less than. I made necessary adjustments & kept going. That doesn’t mean that you won’t have your moments, you will. Just remember that rough seasons are temporary. It could change tomorrow or the next day. Find the JOY in your current season and keep going. Here are a few reminders for you regardless of what season you are in: 1. You are a luxury. 2. Peace is yours daily. 3. You have control of your emotions. No one or nothing can steal your joy, peace, or happiness. 4. You are beautiful and deserving of amazing things. 5. You will overcome this season and make it your b*tch (lol). Walk in your power and keep on thriving ✨

Yesterday’s menu included big hair + bawdy + a whole lot of confidence ✨ #weddingseason Shout out to my trainers: @leovjohnson & @markowensboxing 💁🏽‍♀️

It’s #nationalbestfriendday! Using this as my excuse for today’s #photodump. Thankful for these souls that have to deal with me on a regular. I love y’all. Thanks for always being there through any and everything. God definitely was looking out when he sent me Y’ALL! And might I add, he was looking out for y’all too, when he sent y’all ME (lol). The end. No sappy post today. ❤️

I’ve been a lover of @cantubeauty since I transitioned from relaxed to natural in college. #ad Now, I get to share my love for healthy hair and the amazing Cantu products with my girls, Phoenix & Clover. Wash day is one of our favorite days in the Nelson household. Clover is finally at the age where she’ll relax and Phoenix is at the age where she wants to be very hands on. I love letting them pick their hairstyles and I love the peace I feel knowing I’m using good products on their hair! Not only do I get to bond with my girls, but also teach them the importance of hair care. After our routine with Cantu, my girls are always even more confident than they were before. We love our Cantu! #CantuBeauty #cantulovesmoms

Spent the weekend in my hometown with my grandmother and it was the perfect reset. These are some of my favorite shots with her from our family shoot. She was so overwhelmed with happy emotions from the shoot I surprised her with that she let a few happy tears out (swipe). Sending you all positive vibes for the week. It’s the last week in May; give it your all. Your life can literally change overnight! HAPPY MONDAY ✨

Is it 2007? I heard peace sign + kissy face + mirror pictures are making a comeback ✌🏾

#Photodump from #Chicago. Chicago never disappoints. It’s easily my favorite city. Good eats, good vibes, and good convos all weekend. I loved visiting it with one of my best gals. We celebrated her leaving the corporate world and finishing her first year of law school! I loved celebrating you @bodapo. Our friendship is truly the definition of iron sharpening iron! Thanks for a memory filled weekend. You’re the Khloe to my Kim K 🤞🏾 #girlstrip #girlsweekend #bestfriends #ironsharpensiron #chiraq

“I'm wonderin' just when did I become my biggest critic? I wanna be my biggest fan, like how I was when didn't nobody know [me]”🎧 Anyone else on the new Cole?! 🙌🏾

It’s so important as a Mom that I take a moment to relax and prioritize myself. I think all Mom’s can agree that if we don’t love on ourselves a little, we will burnout. It’s no good for anyone when a Momma is burnt out. It’s so important that my girls see me being the best version of me; loving and caring. I also want them to see me embracing my natural beauty and taking care of myself. I’m their example and everything starts with me. I want them to grow up and love themselves exactly as they were created. I want them to know how important relaxation is for their mental. Today, I kicked off Mother’s Day with a skin care routine. I was in need of a little R&R! Thanks so much @buttahskin for providing the perfect start of my Mother’s Day. I feel completely relaxed and ready to continue celebrating being a Mom to my girls! Make sure you’re following @buttahskin for all your skincare needs! Happy Mother’s Day Momma’s!! 💕 #buttah #itsbuttahbaby #buttahskin #Buttahfly #buttahluva

Phoenix Cree x Clover Brees The GREATEST gifts I’ve ever received. Nothing tops being their Mommy. The pure JOY these two little humans add to my life is unexplainable. I LOVE them so much! Thanks for making me a Mommy, sweet girls. You will always be my little babies no matter how big you grow. Happy Mother’s Day to all the Momma’s out there! 💕
