Hi friends! 👋🏽 Wow what a few weeks it’s b Hi friends! 👋🏽 Wow what a few weeks it’s been... remember when I said I hoped 2021 would be wayyy better than 2020?! Hopefully I didn’t jinx it 🙃 The last few days have been TOUGH to say the least but that’s ok. We need hard days to remind ourselves to enjoy the good ones 💕 As I get back into a routine over here, just know that if you’ve been feeling down, overwhelmed, and tired - I understand. Give yourself some grace... when things are bad they can only go up from there! 😘 And what better way to kick off the weekend over on my stories with #amazonfavoritesfriday? This cozy loungewear set from @amazonfashion is only $33 + these @walmartfashion shoes are only $15! // http://liketk.it/363LF @liketoknow.it #amazonfinds #amazonfashion #loungewear #midsizestyle #midsizefashion
Smiled for the first time this week since I got to Smiled for the first time this week since I got to go into NYC for a photoshoot... there’s something about the city that makes me feel so alive ✨🗽🚕 Maybe it was because I felt refreshed from yesterday’s IGTV or maybe because it was only 30 degrees shooting spring content, we may never know ❄️🤣  Regardless I wanted to say thank you for all your love + support from yesterday’s video 🥰 If you’ve been here for awhile you know I’m outspoken & far from shy - but yesterday I had to dive deep to find the courage within myself before posting but I’m happy I did. I know I have new faces around here and I wanted to share a few more vulnerable things that some of my closest friends don’t even know about me! It’s so easy to see me living my life now and assume I “had it all good” but that’s far from true... so here goes:  🇯🇲 My dad is Jamaican and I’m my very Irish mom’s only child. I’m also the only American-born child of my father. I have lots of family in Jamaica & have visited over the years, but I live with guilt sometimes because most of them can’t visit the US. 
☔️ I was born + raised in Seattle, WA & grew up in a very white neighborhood. I often was one of only 2-3 POC in my classes throughout middle + high school.
🏥 My dad passed when I was 9 from leukemia. Before he passed I got to live in Jamaica for 3 months with him while he treated with more non-western medicine but ultimately he had to have treatment in the US. 
📚 I’m a first generation college student. While my parents are SO smart, my dad never graduated high school & my mom didn’t finish college. 
💰 Growing up in an affluent area doesn’t mean I learned how to gain wealth. I am just now learning as an adult how to handle money responsibly and am just now recognizing the systemic issues that put POC at a disadvantage in regards to this.  If you’re new here, welcome. If you’ve been here, thank you. If you left here, I hope you one day find your way back. Love you guys so very much ♥️ // Sweater is one of my faves this winter + is under $35 - linked on LIKEtoKNOW.it/queencarlene or http://liketk.it/35zPT

Looking at 2021 like... you gonna be better than l Looking at 2021 like... you gonna be better than last year, girl? 😏✨ I don’t know about you guys but I feel relieved, refreshed, & renewed now that 2020 has come to a close! 🎉🎊 I know lots of us had one of the toughest years of our lives, but I don’t think it’s fair to say that NOTHING good happened because the glass is always half full over here + there were definitely good moments! 💕 A few of mine were: virtually connecting with my friends more throughout the year, finding my voice on this platform, building a stronger community with all of you, learning to love my body more, hitting blog goals I never thought would happen, and let’s be honest: learning how to cook more because I was forced to 🤣🍴🍳 Let’s start the year off on a positive note and honor this past year by finding the good... tell me below something amazing that happened to you in 2020 before we leave her behind FOREVER 👇🏽 // http://liketk.it/355ro @liketoknow.it 📷 @karyaschanilec
And just like that... 2020 is over 🎊✨ This y And just like that... 2020 is over 🎊✨  This year has been full of ups and downs physically, emotionally, & mentally. I could sit here and list them all out or I could tell you what I want to accomplish in 2021, but I’m not going to do all that. Instead I just want to say THANK YOU 💕 And I want YOU to THANK YOURSELF because baby girl... you survived ✨🥂  Take a moment to today to thank yourself for all that you did this year! YOU:  ✨ Learned to love yourself more
✨ Worked towards accepting your body 
✨ Grew during discomfort 
✨ Did things you didn’t think you could do 
✨ Broke social norms 
✨ Stood up for what you believe in 
✨ Went after your dreams
✨ Got stronger everyday
✨ Were the best version of yourself you could be at any given moment 
Now go pop that champagne & celebrate the new year because you earned it. 2020, thanks for all the lessons... but 2021, here we come!! ! 🍾✨🎉 #goodbye2020 #hello2021 #betterdaysahead // http://liketk.it/34Y9Y @liketoknow.it 📷 @karyaschanilec

Every year I leave our tree up until I get this ov Every year I leave our tree up until I get this overwhelming sense to take it down... 🎄✨ Today was that day 😳 I was determined to leave it up through the holidays but something just overcame me & I took it all down to start organizing for the new year... If I feel the need to clean I gotta roll with it right?! 🤷🏽‍♀️🤣 But just because the decor is down doesn’t mean I’m not in the spirit ✨🥂 Is your holiday decor still up or are you getting a head start on starting the year off fresh? ♥️ Dress is a velvet classic I’ll have in my closet from years to come from @shopreddress!
