Anyone else grow up obsessed with their American Girl doll?!? I just recently stumbled across mine while doing research for my book and got the exact same feeling I did on that Christmas morning in ‘97!!

At that time I’d been told stories about slavery from the women in my family, including my great-great-grandmother Addy, and was always so proud of how Black people fought to survive it. But now, as an adult who’s been doing the academic research it hits deeper. I’m sooo grateful for this doll that taught me to find beauty in that tragedy, and for the words of @connieporter1864 that helped young girls across this nation better understand the history of African-Americans. 

I’m thrilled to continue that work with my very own book!

I always thought fragrance was the finishing touch to getting dressed… #DownyPartner until I realized it can be built in from the very beginning. 
 
After experiencing the Downy Fine Fragrance House here in Charleston, I started thinking about fragrance a little differently. Downy Boutique Botanicals laundry scent beads bring a high-end inspired fragrance experience to laundry… and Citrea has quickly become my favorite. #LuxeUpLaundry 
 
Shop the link in my bio, or if you’re in the Charleston area, stop by the Downy Fine Fragrance House and experience it for yourself. You might just discover your signature laundry scent.

A long weekend in St. Barth’s— of course I packed @elisamamaofficial! 🌴

Summer vacation, island style, sustainable fashion

This wasn’t our first time on this island so while I’m St. Barth our friends stayed at @er_stbarths while we rented a house. We do that a lot when traveling abroad, but this one was special!!

Airbnb on St. Barth’s, vacation like a local

Can’t believe I once thought “no new friends” could be a real thing 💀 Drake a fool for that one. 

Adult friendships, group trip to St. Barth’s

The flight onto St. Barth is not for the faint of heart. IYKYK

Island hopper, tiny jet

Our flight home was like the third time I flew in this set from @shopbop in July alone. It’s butter soft, hugs in the right places and is sooo comfy!!

Splits59 athleisure set for travel days

I collected hand fans throughout my travels in July!! I’ve found soo many brands using them as a marketing tool this summer and I love all the designs. Reminds me of matchbooks— something customizable, but superrrr functional… especially since the entire world is (literally) on fire. 

ST. BARTH TIP: Nikki Beach is iconic and is alwaysss a good time. But if you get to the island and can’t get a table (it’s happened to us in the past!!) try walking next door @lagueritebeach_saintbarth to match the vibes!!

What to do on Saint Barthélemy

Kinda surprised by how many pics I don’t have from this trip. Spent too much time living in the moment while there bc it seriously felt like a movie!!

Even getting these shirts was an adventure in itself!!! 😂

I fear too many of us are fed the idea that “your 20s are the best years of your life”, but they’re not. They’re fun that’s for sure. But there’s sooo much more to life than prioritizing fun!! Just thankful for the opportunity to see more days (and hopefully more weekends like this one)!!!
