Bougie on a Budget Lifestyle

Hey guys! I know it’s been a while like fa real! I feel so bad that I haven’t been keeping up with my blog at all, but a change is coming! I haven’t talked about it much on this blog, but last year I was diagnosed with fibroids my fibroids weren’t too large at the time but they were still giving me major problems! Super heavy periods, tired all the time, and just in a lot of pain. This year has been crazy for me! I actually found a great doctor and she is doing an awesome job treating me! Unfortunately no matter what I did the fibroids did not stop growing... I went vegan, I started taking herbal medicine, I tried acupuncture.... I tried sooooo many different things before I came to the conclusion that I have to have surgery.... it was actually my worse nightmare! When my doctor said that was the only option I had a break down right there in the office! Thank goddess for amazing friends because they were right there for me and they have been here the whole time! My tribe! My dragon w...

Hey my loves! Mercury is still in retrograde, and I’m supposed to be taking a social media break and actually I have been from Facebook! It’s been kinda nice actually! Also because this retrograde has fucked my life up! No seriously it shook me upside down! That’s fine though this retrograde was all about facing things from the past and letting them go.... there are only a few days left, and I feel like I’ve learned a lot, but it’s not over until the 15th. Listen, ya girl is done though!  Things have been crap at work, and exes have been popping back up! Not my major one, but this retrograde made me reevaluate that relationship, and truly forgive! We can’t hold onto those things. We don’t even realize we block our own blessings when we hold onto those feelings! I hope he’s somewhere living his best  life because goddess knows I am! Also this retrograde made me reevaluate my financial situation which needed to be addressed long before this retrograde! I had a coffee date/ resum...

Hey guys it’s been awhile! I took some time to take care of myself, and figure out my next move! I still haven’t figured it out, and at times it’s maddening, but other times it’s humbling, and fun! Honestly, I got a little discouraged with blogging. I have no idea what I’m doing! So I decided to throw all the blogging rules out the window, and write from my heart! I read a couple of people’s how to achieve blog success stories, and I was like nah I’m good I have to be me, and write my own rules for this! If I touch one person great! If my words help more that’s still great, and if no one ever reads my words that’s ok too! I truly just love sharing my life with you all! One of the things I truly love about New Orleans, and the style here is that you can come here, and be yourself! You want to get day drunk, do it we don’t judge, you want to fly your freak flag do it, we will embrace you! So many people come to New Orleans, and they feel at home, and I love that! Lately I’ve been think...
