MAMA IS BACK! (Travel Noire)

I celebrated my 5th year wedding anniversary in Cancun! 

Hubby and I stayed at The Finest Playa Mujeres Resort. 

IT. WAS. AMAZING! 

AMAZING. 

It was the chicest, dopest, cleanest, most modern resort I've ever been to. 

(P.S. This was my first time at a resort lol) 

Do yourself and your boo a favor and book a week or weekend there! 

You won't regret it. Seriously. 

It's nowhere near the "strip" where all of the other resorts are in Cancun. 

I wish I had taken pics of everything but I was kinda in "chill mode" the whole time but if you follow me on Snapchat, I'm sure you saw glimpses of it! 

I'm a creature of habit which means we will be going back with the kids. 

I loved it that much that I don't even want to bother looking for a new spot...unless I am doing a paid resort review of course! 

(THESE PICS ARE NOT FROM THE RESORT!) 

But I did wear this oufit at the resort (as seen on Instagram).

I got it from Grass-Fields. 

I had to do the typical alterations like cut off about 2 inches off the bottom and add straps to the top...you know my standard tweeks. 

I felt amazing in this two piece. I'm kinda into matching sets lately, which means I am probably about to overdo it until I hate them. 

But right now, they give me life! 

(I was not paid to write about Finest Playa Mujeres Resort. It was just that dope!) 

Again these pics were not taken at the resort.

Grateful!!

All day the word grateful has been swirling in my spirt. 

So here are some things I am grateful for lately...

NINE WEST Indira Heels found here 

1. I am grateful to celebrate my 5th year wedding anniversary this week! Can you believe it! It's been 5 years! 

2. I am grateful that we will be enjoying a much anticipated anniversary vacation near a beach! 

3. I am grateful that I don't look like what I have been through in the last year, especially the last month! 

4. I am grateful that I serve a God that does not keep a running tab of all the things he has done for me or how many times I have let him down. I would be in trouble if he did. 

5. I am grateful that my little baby boy is about to celebrate his first birthday in a few days!

What are you grateful for?

Set: Grassfields (here) 

Truth Zone: I ordered this two piece set from Grassfields. They specialize in African print modern pieces. You know I'm the queen of alterations so I took it to "my people" to get a few adjustments done. I had to almost re-design the top because I am soooooo top heavy. So my tailor and I decided to rouche the top and make it into a bikini top. Also, I am a shorty and I felt that the print was too overwhelming for my height so I had it turned into a midi skirt to show a little skin. I bought it for my anniversary trip to (Cancun) so it is the perfect piece to bring with me. (My 5 year wedding anniversary is this Saturday:)  Overall, I do enjoy Grassfields for their price points. Nothing a little visit to my favorite tailor can't fix.
