I launched Little Lights of Mine because I was a young, 23-year-old new mom. I was home at the time and looking for direction. I started the blog as a place to just share everything. It quickly turned into a food-based blog where I would share all of my favorite recipes.
I love to make scrubs at home. My favorite is a mixture of brown sugar and coconut oil. So simple yet so effective!
Tatcha is my favorite beauty brand. They were also founded in San Francisco. Their entire line is based off of geisha tradition and ritual. The line has transformed my skin.
I started preparing meals for my family when I was 12 because both of my parents worked, but I didn't know that it was something I could make a career out of until I had my daughter and realized there were people out there who were interested in learning how to prepare a quick meal.
I'm a big fan of soups and stews because you can throw everything in a slow cooker and leave it there for hours. They taste great in containers, too, because they sit in the fridge, and the flavors meld overnight.
At the end of the day, the Internet is full of mean people. Who are these people in their everyday life? I pray for them.
I wanted to keep that message of food and family alive, and how it brings people together and builds relationships and communication.
I'm thankful for my family's health, that everybody's healthy. That's something that can be taken for granted, so I'm grateful for that.
My kids don't like chocolate. My husband doesn't like chocolate, so I get it all to myself.
One food I've tried and I haven't grown at all to like - foie gras, I don't like it. I just don't. I've tried it several different ways, and I think it's a texture thing for me.
From the very first meeting, I knew that Endemol Shine was a great fit for me.
I believe that in today's media landscape, we can create and distribute content on multiple platforms while remaining fresh and relevant.
The one thing my mom taught me was to never go to bed without washing my face, and so I wash my face at least twice a day.
I wear a lot of hair extensions because I'm doing a lot of shoots and things like that. But for me, a good edge control is really important, and then a headscarf at night.
Glam, for me, is all about a good lip, lots of mascara, and contouring. Contouring is very important.
I do my own way of witnessing. Not by verbally intimidating people but just by my actions.
I feel like Christianity gets very misconstrued sometimes. People don't realize that every day is a normal day just like anybody else, but we're just trying to improve every day. It's not about putting anybody down or telling anybody they're wrong. It's more about trying to do what's right for your own self.
Things happen when they're supposed to happen.
In the CoverGirl Melting Pout Matte Lipstick ads, I am wearing this gorgeous purple color called Seismic. It's such a different shade, but it works well with my face. I've got hazel eyes, and so purple kind of compliments it. It's a nice shade to put on when I'm feeling a little sassy.
Being able to sprawl out on the bed and wear my face mask and put my hair up in my bonnet, honestly, it's nice to have those moments sometimes.
