🎂Another year around the sun☀️ Last night hubby surprised me with a beautiful intimate dinner, in the sand & under the stars, to celebrate my birthday. With things being so different this last year of our lives, I really did not expect this. He really surprised me this year!
Thank you @anthonymandler, every detail was filled with so much love and attention. Birthdays mean so much to me and I know this year it took a ton of extra effort to make this weekend special. Thank you for honoring me and bringing me so many moments of tears & laughter. I love you ♥️

This year more parents, caretakers, teachers and schools took the opportunity to dive deeper into conversations about racial equality and civil rights. With February nearly over and Black History Month coming to an end, I hope that all parents (not just BIPOC parents) keep these important conversations going! Check out my stories right now for tips on how to celebrate Black history and introduce concepts like racial diversity to your kids, every day all year round!
Did you honor Black History Month and if so, how? #representationmatters

I’m back with our second self-care #MaedChalleng

I’m back with our second self-care #MaedChallenge of the week-- Face steaming. This practice immediately makes my home feel like a spa. Face steaming works wonders to soften the surface layers of dead skin cells, releasing dirt and debris that could cause breakouts and would otherwise stay trapped. It also soothes dry or irritated skin, and even helps face products absorb more easily into the skin.
Here’s how it’s done:
✨Heat water on a stovetop or tea kettle until it begins to steam
✨Pour the hot water into a large heatproof bowl
✨Add fresh herbs, flowers, or essential oils
✨Hover over the bowl, keeping your face about 12 inches from the water & drape a clean towel over your head, creating a tent to trap the steam. (make sure you can feel the steam but that it’s not burning)
✨Enjoy for 5-10 minutes.
Check my stories for tips on how to elevate your facial steam by adding herbs and flowers. Try incorporating this practice into your evening self-care routine after cleansing this week! Share your experience with me and our Maed community on your stories! #MaedChallenge
