Does your child think that money grows on trees? Do you buy them something they are “dying for” just to see it on the floor later? If you answered yes (and I’m sure you did), then welcome to Teaching Kids about Money 101! After doing some research, I saw that teaching kids about money should start between the ages of 6-12.

Generational Wealth: 3 Ways to Start It
I remember being young and my grandfather making me balance his check book. Not because he was too lazy to do it but because he knew it was important for me to learn. He also gifted me with stock and made me check on it on a weekly basis to see if I was earning money or losing money. He taught me because no one really taught him these things and we all know this is not a course offered in schools ... Read the Post
Black Wall Street & What We Lost
Imagine living in a community that was thriving and up-coming. You go to the market, and you see black people. You go to the bank, and see it is owned and ran by black people. Your local tailor shop and beauty salon? Black owned and black employed! The hotels and theaters are all black. All your neighbors look like you and reflect your culture. Everyone has a sense of belonging and pride. This is ... Read the Post
Ten of the World’s Richest Black Women
One might be wondering why we need to review 10 of the world’s richest black women currently. Simple. Because they exist. Because we need to know that we too can reach those goals. Every one of us has something unique to offer and there is nothing wrong with earning residuals for those talents and gifts. You deserve it! I first want to pay homage to Sarah Rector!

Financial February: A Money Mindset
Over the last couple of months, we have wrecked our brains about how we wanted to start the new year. We thought long and hard about the women we wanted to reach out to, the things we wanted to celebrate, and how we will move forward on our journey to starting and growing our sisterhood. We decided to dedicate each month to one of the life facets we seek to help women within their daily ... Read the Post
Our Winter Boots Edit

We may own more pairs of boots than any other type of footwear. So we could not pass up an opportunity to share one of our addictions! Here are some of the styles we are crushing on this season. Flair If you want a boot that's a show stopper, these ... Read the Post

Going Abroad in London Blue
Blue is my favorite color. But not all blues are created equal in my opinion. For example, I very much dislike baby blue. I deeply love Navy. Navy textures (velvet and glitter) spark a bit of satisfaction and happiness in me. Navy also comes off as elegant and sexy. When done right, it also becomes a neutral! I could go on and on about navy but the shade of blue that has been haunting me is known ... Read the Post
Books by the Fire and Self-Health
As the cold approach of winter suddenly creeps in, we begin to move towards warmer moments and vices. All I want to do is curl up in bed (or next to a fireplace if you have one) with a cozy blanket, a hot drink, and a good book. Soon I will get a two week break where I plan on reading as much as I can so I am currently cultivating a reading list of 5 of my “I’ll read this one day” books! With more ... Read the Post
Recipe Card: Lavender Hot Chocolate
So we may have an obsession with lavender...and chocolate. So why not have them together? I remember when I was pregnant with Elise and was obsessed with the idea of lavender cupcakes. I couldn't find a bakery near by that made them so I did research and made them myself! My husband helped me make the the mixture and cream cheese frosting (my first time ever making homemade frosting!) and to my ... Read the Post
