Murrayween Family Halloween Costumes
Family Halloween Costumes are so competitive and fun. If you don’t get your costumes in July or August you will be scrambling to find your costumes in October. In this post I will share the beautiful pictures I was able to capture with my g-nephews and daughter. This year we decided to be, “The Nerd Family.” I was inspired by my cousin who dressed up as a Nerd a few years ago for her Halloween party. Since we already produce the best selling Nerd apparel it was an easy decision. Oftentimes the word Nerd get a negative connotation. At SmArtBoyTees we love to support and embrace our smart community. Bringing…

Celebrating Birthday in Quarantine
I’m truly blessed Allah has granted me another year on this planet. I’m super grateful my family and friends are safe during these unprecedented times. Celebrating a birthday in quarantine can be hard but I figured I would make the best of it. Everyone kept asking me, “What are you going to do for your birthday? But to be honest I felt a little uneasy going out. Last weekend we went out to a restaurant and I felt a little uncomfortable. Mainly because the DJ wasn’t wearing a mask and I although he wasn’t near me it was strange. I wanted to eat and leave immediately. Usually it’s hard for…

Holiday Outfit Challenge
Hey guys I hope you all are doing well! About two weeks ago I was brainstorming trying to figure out what my next YouTube video could be on. I decided to pull out all my holiday pieces from my closet (tartan, sequin, velvet, red, black, green) to encourage others to look in their closet and style what they already have. I was literally thinking of stuff I have in my sleep like my tartan shoes. And that’s how the holiday outfit challenge started.

Weekend Family Getaway
Can we say summer is officially over? Well typically after Labor Day the carpet is rolled up and it’s on to preparing for Halloween and Thanksgiving. But because we didn’t get to hang out at the beach often this summer or visit Martha’s Vineyard, we decided on a weekend family getaway. What’s more fun than hanging out with your family. If my kids had it their way they‘ll stay home playing video games and hanging out with their friends (teenagers). We are typically last minute planners. I usually have it planned in my head but to execute, it’s usually at the 9th hour. I knew I wanted to go to…

Backyard Pictures
Quarantine has us being pretty creative at home. My neighbor had movie night in the backyard. Then there’s virtual parties online or drive by celebrations. When I purchased these cute dresses from Target I knew I wanted to do something fun with my daughter so I decided backyard pictures. I figured I’ll create a garden party theme and we’ll have brunch on the grass. It wasn’t an easy task keeping the bugs away but we managed to make it happen. I grabbed a blanket, some throw pillows, (you must have a furry one) beach hat, mason jar mugs, charger plates, a scented candle, mirror with string lights, and center pieces.…

Pleated Skirt & Crop Sweatshirt
I hope this post finds you safe and well. I wanted to share with you four ways I styled my pleated skirt. I adore pastel colors so when I saw this pleated skirt I knew I had to have it. It gave me tutu Carrie Bradshaw vibes without the poof. I asked myself how would Carrie from Sexy in the City wear it? I envisioned wearing it with a muscle style crop sweatshirt and heels to give it a twist. But then I stumbled over a few pastel long sleeve crop sweatshirts I instantly added it to my cart. I bought both colors mauve and mint green. I thought they…

Georgia Aquarium and Coca-Cola World
Two weeks ago I visited Atlanta which was on my things to do for the summer list. I was originally scheduled to go in August but my brother planned his birthday brunch for September so there was a slight change of plans. I promised my daughter we would go to the Aquarium while we were there, I feel a little guilty for going without her but she’ll forgive me. We thought it would be too crowded going on the weekend but it actually wasn’t too bad. We woke up early to arrive around 11 a.m. If you purchase your tickets before 11 a.m. you are suppose to get a 10%…
