Girls Trip 2.0

I ain't gon lie, I needed that Chicago trip more than I even realized 😩 Chris Brown and Usher had me feeling some type of way — and then they pulled out Tank AND Mario as special guests?? I was NOT ready for that lineup, my whole body was in it 🎶🔥You hear me?! IN IT!!!

On top of all that, I got to cross something off my list I ain't never done before — hit up a dispensary in Michigan for the first time. Little detour, big experience, and now I got stories 😂

And of course I still snuck in some creativity on the trip — glammed up my girl's shirt and turned a plain jersey blank into a whole fit for myself last minute. Didn't even plan it, just had the vision and made it happen. That's just how I move. And flock vinyl - a vibe! If you are a sensory person, this vinyl is amazing!!!

But real life don't wait on nobody. I came back and it was straight into back-to-school mode — Fatty started, Ana started, and Zi's starting 3-year-old preschool soon too 😭 Watching my kids grow and start developing their own style lately got me in my feelings a lil bit too — they found their own go-to's now (Nike Air Forces and Chucks - straight classics from my school era), and it's crazy seeing them become their own lil people right in front of me.

On top of all that, I'm out here applying for a different position at work too, so it's a lot moving at once — mom life, business, and now a career move. But honestly? Life is good right now. As good as it can get, and I'm grateful for that.

Here's what I realized: that quick break wasn't just fun, it was necessary. Left Saturday morning, came back Sunday morning. Five women + two icons + one hotel room = a time!!

I came back refreshed in a way I didn't know I needed. Ready to take on orders, ready for markets, ready for new projects, ready for whatever this season brings — business and mom life both.
