Guess what, Ambitious Fam!? It’s the blog’s birthday! I actually wasn’t going to celebrate 2 years. I didn’t think that it was as big of a milestone as my first year or 5 years from now. Then Lorine, of Life of Lo, reminded me of its importance: today marks another year that I didn’t give…
This decision has been a long time coming, but I finally decided to commit and I’m ready to share. I am officially starting my natural hair journey. If you are unfamiliar with the gravity with this decision and the influence of Black hair, I have linked some great reference articles in this post and this…
Last month, I fulfilled the “Travel Out of State” requirement of my August Bucket List by visiting my friend Sarah in Tennessee! If you recall my June Wrap Up post, Sarah was one (out of 3) of my friends that moved out of state that month. However, one of the great things about my friendship…
Peace out, summer! I spent the last week of August trying to squeeze in all of my favorite summer outfits before their retirement. I succeeded in wearing my rainbow dress to an event on the very last day! I’m going to miss all of the bright colors of the season, but I’m excited to retire…

There were also plenty of fun times sprinkled in (thank you June Bucket List!). Between a concert, a baseball game, graduations, and time with friends, I can’t…
Hey Ambitious Fam! We are coming up on a month since the insertion of my IUD, so I am finally ready to give y’all the scoop. My friends on Instagram have gotten some of my real-time reactions about the procedure (saved in my highlights here if you are interested). However, I wanted to fully explain…
Oh heyyyy, Friday! I’m looking forward to enjoying a low key weekend in preparation for my busy week ahead. Hopefully, the stormy weather doesn’t completely thwart my plans! Here are five things that gave me all the feels this week: National Flip Flop Day (FREE TROPICAL SMOOTHIE) Bummed that you missed National Donut Day last…
It’s the last day of May, and I am scratching my head, trying to figure out where the month went. How did I spend my time? Is it possible to give a recap about a month that I don’t even remember? The great thing about these wrap up posts is that I get to enjoy…
