a BRAND NEW BLOG, a BRAND NEW YOU

I'm so excited to finally share this blog with all of you. For a while now I've been wanting to start a place where young, chic women can find answers to their beauty and everyday-life questions. As I was growing up, my life constantly felt like a crazy roller coaster ride of emotions and confusion. I always looked for guidance. I was raised in an upper-middle class suburb of New York City. It was combination of a blessing and a curse all wrap up in one. As you know, living in the suburbs, the school systems are great, it's quiet, you have your own space (driveway, backyard etc.), great markets in every surrounding town, and it's safe. Overall, it's a wonderful place to raise a family. My grandparents bought the house I grew up in way before the town had developed. We kind of just got lucky living here for so long that it turned out to be a great place to live. The hardest thing for me was being surrounded by my friends and classmates who seemed to have it all, and my family not having the means to give my brother and I that same life. My mom did everything and anything to give us that new IPOD we wanted for Christmas, or fun, new clothes at the being of every school year.  Unfortunately, my father was never in the picture and never supported us. My mom had to be both a mother and a father. She went through so many things that most people wouldn't be able to bear. She is such a strong woman. I really don't know how she does it. And even though my mom did her absolute best, there was always conflict in our household and as a child, I didn't know it then but, I always looked for direction and structure. With that being said I really want to make this blog your our structure and guidance, the structure and guidance I searched for, for so long. Treat this as your bible, your Cosmopolitan magazine that you don't have to pay for every month. From what to carry in your purse on a day to day basis to money saving tips, it's all here. Let's be the best version of ourselves. Let's help each other be "Poised and Prepared".
