Christmas trees are one of the most iconic parts of the holiday season.
(They are also my favorite Christmas decor!😍) Choosing the perfect Christmas tree, however, can be such a hassle if you aren’t sure what you should be looking for. From real to artificial, colored trees and LED lights, the choices are endless. That is why I’ve put together a few of the most important things to keep in mind when choosing the perfect tree this year. Head to the link in my bio for a look on the blog.

Unpopular Opinion: Christmas unofficially starts N

Unpopular Opinion: Christmas unofficially starts November 1st. Christmas is one of my favorite holidays (if you can’t already tell)! Once November arrives, I‘m in full Christmas planning mode😆. Decorations, gifts, family dinner, all the things. I just can’t contain my excitement until December. Some, I know, would prefer to wait to put up decorations. So what do you do? Do you wait until after Thanksgiving to start decorating or do you jump right in? 📷 @audriedollins

I wouldn’t trade my mornings in bed with my kids

I wouldn’t trade my mornings in bed with my kids or my late morning tea with my husband for anything. For some minutes, time seems to come to a standstill and I get to be fully present and in the moment with my family. This, without a doubt, is the best part of the season. 🥰 Tell me in the comments, what’s your favorite part of the holidays? #blackfamilylove 📷 @imagesbyangela

Thanksgiving is just a week away! Can you believe

Thanksgiving is just a week away! Can you believe it?! We will not be hosting this year but I shall be eating a lot..😆 I plan to have most of our meals catered and I'll cook some Nigerian finger foods. I also plan to get some much needed rest. Though this year has been challenging, I believe we have a lot to be grateful for.
Let me know in the comments below, what are your plans for Thanksgiving?

For my new and current friends here!!! It's New Week for new opportunities! I haven't done an intro for quite some time now and there are new faces around here. I'm Gbeke (Be-Keh), a mom to two littles ones and they keep me busy. I'm also a full-time working mom and a blogger focused on sharing my love for DIY projects, design and my everyday living. Thank you for being part of my little space of the internet! Some fun facts about me! 😁

“But while I may be the first woman in this office, I won’t be the last. Because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities.”
- Madame Vice President Kamala Harris Watching the acceptance speech yesterday with my daughter made me hopeful and made me cry. She now knows that with hard work, dedication, dignity and staying true to herself, she can dream bigger and achieve the impossible. I’m hopeful and have faith for the future ahead! The work for the change we want starts today! Happy Sunday!

What a day it’s been and I’m ready for the wee

What a day it’s been and I’m ready for the weekend. I want to thank all of you for showing your support by liking and sharing my Holiday Decor Guide partnership with Michaels. I’m so glad to be apart of it and it means a lot to me to know you love it as much as I do. I have it all saved as a highlight, “Holiday Decor Guide” for you to reference when you start planning and decorating for the holidays. You can also stop by your local Michaels store to pick up a copy. Don’t forget to DM or tag me when you get your copy.

#sponsored It’s official... The holiday season is here! With all that 2020 has thrown our way, I believe it’s even more important this year to get into the holiday spirit. That is why I'm so excited to partner with @michaelsstores for their Holiday Decor Guide. It’s an amazing experience being able to lend my own decorating ideas and tips to their Holiday Decor Guide. Michaels has always been my one-stop shop when it comes to holiday decorating. The few things that bring me the most joy while decorating during the holidays are decorating my Christmas trees (yes, I like to have more than 1) and personalizing my Christmas decor. Michaels makes it easy to collect all the materials needed, from the greenery to the ornaments. I love that now with the holiday ideas and tips in their Holiday Decor Guide, pulling off a festive facelift is as simple as 1-2-3. But don’t take my word for it! Head over to my stories or visit Michaels store locations to grab a copy of Michaels “Holiday Decor Guide” for easy holiday decorating ideas and tips. Happy Planning! PS: Tag me with your copy! #makeitwithmichaels

It’s Daylight Savings Time! Tomorrow we all get

It’s Daylight Savings Time! Tomorrow we all get to roll our clocks back an hour, gaining extra time in our day (if you can call rolling back time at 2 a.m. “day” 🤷🏾‍♀️). I would love to gain an extra 10 hours in my day, but I guess I will settle on just 1.
My plans for my extra hour: SLEEP! Tell me, what are your plans for your extra hour? 📸 @imagesbyangela
