Cash me outside, how bout dat? I can finally wear the cute fall clothes I bought in anticipation of the cooler weather. Although, I must admit that big furry coats make me feel a little bit like a female pimp when I walk down the streets 😂
The weather in NYC has finally gotten cold and I am living for it 🙌🏾🍂❤️ It's finally time to bring out the warm coats and scarves and live my best autumn life. But for real though, global warming has made hot weather last way past it's summer welcome the past few years, so we need to start changing some things on a planetary basic to make sure the apocalypse doesn't happen ♻️♻️♻️ • • 📷@veerabianca
I was thinking lately about how negative I've been about life (which granted all that happened in the past 6 months kind of justifies that response 😂), but I was thinking on the subway today about things I should be positive about. For instance, I stopped biting my nails this summer. I've never gone more than a month without giving into the habit, but so far it's been almost 4 months that I've let my nails grow with no interception from my teeth. That feels like a big accomplishment after a lifetime of having unhealthy nails. What can you be positive about today? Let me know!
If you know me, you know I'm pretty low maintenance when it comes to all things makeup, hair & skin care, etc. So whatever can make my life easy in terms of staying refreshed is my go-to situation. I got really into facial mists in the past year because it's a simple way of making me feel like I am staying moisturized and fresh-faced. Out of all the mists I've tried, this @lilydemai Bliss is definitely the best. It smells like florals and cotton candy and makes my face feel very healthy. Thanks to @joinpalm for a chance to try this out 🌺🌸🌼 #sponsored
Thinking I should plan another trip to Italy soon 🇮🇹
Dreaming of when I can have a little cottage in the English countryside where I can sit by my window and write as I look out on the foggy mornings and dew dripping off the ivy that hangs down from the pane. I know I romanticize the UK a lot, especially when in reality it's not this magical land with no problems, but, after 20 years of my life being obsessed with it and never getting tired of visiting, I feel like there's a reason I care for it so deeply. Have you ever felt like you were born in the wrong country? I feel like my soul was meant to be British 🇬🇧
2018 started out strong, became pretty terrible in the middle, but I'm hoping the year ends strong as I put together my goals for 2019 and figure out what's next in my life. I've always been someone who thinks far ahead when it comes to my ambitions and dreams, so with some things up in the air like my health and where auditions might lead me, it's hard to know exactly what might happen in the next 12 months. With that being said, I'm trying to stay positive even in the hardest moments and give myself reasons to be joyful and attempt to live a bit more in the moment (a nearly impossible task for me) 💁🏾‍♀️ What goals are you making for yourself for 2019?
This will be the last of the blue theme because I want to go back to just posting random latergrams and I'm too lazy to stick to a certain color scheme. It was fun while it lasted 😂
I've been wanting to go to the Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze for a couple years now, and finally made it happen. It's about an hour's train ride out of NYC and it's pretty fun and illuminating seeing thousands of pumpkins all carved and lit up in unique creations like this planetarium tunnel. It's the perfect Halloween activity 🎃 #pumpkinblaze
Fun news! I will be at the 2019 @womenstravelfest as a speaker on the @fatgirlstraveling panel with @fromannettewithlove, @voyaging_vagabond, @biancakarina__, and @arms.wideopen 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 This is my first time doing an event like this and I'm super excited! We will be chatting about traveling as diverse, plus-size women, and I'm happy to share our experiences with the attendees! If you're able to come to NYC March 8-10, it's going to be lit!
Day fades into night ✨
Bath is one of my favorite places in the UK. It's a beautifully charming city that feels like you're walking through Jane Austen times. Have you ever been?
