my bubbly life in squares

Happy Mother’s Day my Mom! Getting older is great because now I understand all the things you’ve done and sacrificed for me. From always having hot breakfast made for my brother and I to always going along with every idea or dream I have, mom you’re my hero and I celebrate you everyday! #mothersday #ilovemom
Me in my dog mom get up! Life is crazy and here I am living proof that it doesn’t has to be linear. I am constantly moving, learning, growing, and doing. If you ever feel like you are stagnant and not growing, never wait for someone to tell you, you can do something, just go for it! . . . . #justgoforit #dontletyourdreamsbedreams #justdoit #reachforbetter #chicagolife #chicagobloggernetwork #dogbag #yorkiemom #itsmylife❤️

It’s the end of my first week of my new job! I truly can’t believe how far I made it since December! I left my old job for greener pastures and boy is it green! I’m actually in a position where I matter and am trusted. I definitely had lost all hope in working a traditional job but am glad I kept searching. Here’s to hoping I finally found a place I’ll stay for awhile! #toxicjobssuck #chicagolife #newjobwhodis #rivernorthchicago #happyhours #officeparties #newcoworkers #portraitmode #nofilter #techcompany
I always talk about my career dreams but my main dream is to spend everyday with you by my side!💕👫 . . . . #togetherforever #olavesforever #marriedlife #chicagowife #marriedlifechicago #myhusbandismybestfriend #allblackoutfit #interracialcouples
Last week was crazy busy. I started my online masters program, had three job interviews, and was on my period. I was so overwhelmed that I called off work on Friday and just laid in bed. I needed to remind myself that it’s okay to relax and just breathe. When I’m stressed I literally just go home and sleep or watch a favorite tv show or movie! I’m curious to know how you all relax? . . . . #relaxing #sleepisthebestmedicine #chicagolifestyleblogger #chicagowinter #overwhelmed #breathe #breatheeasy #slowdownandbreathe #lifesbeautiful #neonlightsphoto #treefoliage #leavesbackground #pinkneon #bloggerlifestyle #makemoneyblogging #anxietyisreal
Wow! I can’t believe it’s Almost Spring but I recently hit 1k followers on this crazy thing called Instagram! So I thought I’d do some fun facts about me. 1. I’m such a milk hater and I’m proud about it! I’ve never liked the taste of milk rather it’s cows milk or almond milk. I do use almond milk when needed but you won’t catch me enjoying a glass of milk or dunking my cookies in milk.. 2. I’m crazy funny. Okay not really but I like making “dad” jokes and having a good time. 3. I’m obsessed with entrepreneurship! Ha! In five years I see myself owning multiple businesses or maybe just one successful one. 4. I can’t stand mean/rude people. Which is why I don’t have many friends. If I’m hanging around people and they are just rude af, I’m like out! 5. I’m obsessed with food. It’s a problem and I’m trying to get better about not being so picky. And when I say picky I mean only eating good quality food. You usually won’t catch me eating McDonald’s. 6. I love my husband @dlolaves he really believes in me and is letting me chase my dreams even if it’s hard. . . . . #fridayintroduction #fridayintroductions #internationalwomensday #chicagoblackbloggers #chicagolifestyleblogger #midwestbloggers #wickerparkbucktown #chicagoblackbusiness #brickwallbackground #socialmediainfluencers #1kfollowersgoal #liveyourlife #bubblynoel #bubblylife #socialmediaexperts #brickwallbackground #lifestyleclub
