For anyone, a grandparent passing away is a tough thing to go through. However my Grandma Jessie wasn’t only my grandmother; she was like a second mother to my sisters and I. Grandma Jessie moved into our home when I was eight years old and […]

If you haven’t already noticed, things look a little bit different around here. Today I spent the whole day giving Grace and Lipstick a little spruce up. It has been over a year since I launched Grace and Lipstick and I was more than ready to mix things up a bit. Luckily, I have a very sweet and talented cousin who did an impromptu yet AMAZING photoshoot with me a few months ago! The circumstances of this shoot could not have been any better.

The church was my second home and it was easy to go every week. After leaving home in Redondo Beach and going to college an hour away…this routine ended. Why I stopped going to Church For College I attended Azusa […]
