Hey Cuties, New Year's Eve is in three days and I am excited about rolling over into a new calendar year. 2016 has been incredible for me. I experienced a lot of first and checked off several bucket list items. Some things I didn't even have on my bucket list but were more than bucket list worthy. Thank you for joining me on this epic journey of "action".

Hey Cuties, I'm a shopper for sure, and the world knows my heart is for Target. However, I also pride myself on supporting small business owners. I have eclectic taste and I shop all over. During the Christmas season, I make a concerted effort to support small businesses. Women Business Owners in particular are killing the game. Get it Girls!

Hey Cuties, We are four days away from Christmas; have you found your cheer? Have you finished shopping? Have you hung your stockings? Have you not bothered to pull out any decorations and just plan to lie around in your pajamas? No judgement, I believe in spending the holidays the way you want. I also realize that the holiday time can be a very sad and stressful time of the year. If you are missing a special someone I send you my love. If this is your first Christmas without said love one, I send you my love and I suggest doing something that honors them or something the both of you loved to do.

Hey Cuties, On Friday I chatted with Erica Campbell, one-half of gospel singing group Mary Mary on behalf of St. Jude. It was like chatting with one of my girlfriends; we clicked and chatted like we'd known one another for years. I love a kindred spirit. We talked about why she is supporting St. Jude, her new music and new Mary Mary music and more.

Hey Cuties, Last week was so epic that I had to make sure I took it all in. Don't get me wrong. Going to the White House last month was epic, but this one was monumental and I did not see it coming. While covering the Fences movie red carpet, I interviewed Denzel Washington. {Pause for reaction} I legitimately met him and his beautiful wife face to face.

Hey Cuties, At the end of October, I was telling my girlfriend the rest of my year was dry. I wanted it to go out with a bang but my calendar was bare. Ever since I uttered those words I've had blessings upon blessings bestowed upon me. I am proud to say I was ready for each one of them. I didn't know what was coming but if you stay ready you don't have to get ready. On Saturday I was invited to speak for the very first time. #BucketList I was honored to speak at the Keys to Leadership: Girl Scout Conference on Leadership & Inclusion at American University.

Hey Cuties, Last week I got all fancy and hit the town with a bunch of moms. We put on our festive party clothes, left the kids at home with someone responsible and had a girl's night. A girl's night on a Thursday evening. The invite said A Holiday Beauty Fete; get fancy, come to Bloomingdale's, Lancôme will be there and District MotherHued had planned an evening of fun. The #DMVMomTribe showed up and showed out and fun was had.

Hey Cuties, A new California Tortilla has settled into Washington, DC and I had to have my face in the place. They are a fast-casual Mexican-inspired type of restaurant. They have something that caters to all dietary needs; burritos, bowls, street tacos, quesadillas and salads.
