B.A.D. Girl Tip: Do One Thing Different
Sometimes all it takes is one small act to spark change in your life so I am daring you, yes YOU, to do just one thing different this week. It could be anything, it just has to be out of the ordinary. Perhaps it’s something you have been meaning to start doing like waking up 10 minutes earlier or taking the time to write up your business idea. Or maybe you want to do something you have never done like pay for a strangers coffee or call out from work and spend the day learning how to do something on your bucket list.
Do it for the possibility. The possibility that if you make one minor change you may set the stage for major fulfillment. Sometimes even the smallest shift in thinking or doing can create the biggest opportunity.
What are you going to do different this week?
Be B.A.D!

B.A.D. Girl Style: We Do It Well
My dad told me I looked like a 90′s fly girl from the old school TV show ‘In Living Color’. I’ll take it as a compliment since 90′s style is back and J.Lo was a fly girl!
But really I just wanted to be comfy and a hat was necessary since my hair looked cray-cray.
I am also rocking one of the new tees I designed for MyTee B.A.D. it’s over sized and super comfy, which makes it perfect for those days when you want to be comfortable, but still make a statement! My blog readers can get one and save 20% on your order with discount code SMB20!
What I wore: MyTee B.A.D. BGDIW Tee, Forever 21 Shorts, Zara Shoes, Mytee B.A.D. Necklace, Betsey Johnson Watch, Civil Clothing Cap

B.A.D. Girl Tip: Score Extra Credit
Who doesn’t have a love/hate relationship with credit cards? I know I do, so here is a good tip for managing your cards and keeping your credit score on the up and up!
It’s important to keep your oldest card active as long as possible to establish consistently good credit history, even if you only use it once or twice a year. If you have multiple cards that were opened around the same time make sure you choose to keep the best card open and active. For example, an Amex or MasterCard should remain open as opposed to a Macy’s or Victoria’s secret credit card.
Also make sure you don’t close more than one account per year or your credit score will get docked.
How do you manage your credit cards?

B.A.D. Girl Must Have For A Pretty Pucker
Buying a new lip balm WITH an SPF has been on my shopping list for a hot minute and the other day I finally remembered to pick one up while I was in CVS.
I’ve heard great things about ‘Baby Lips’ by Maybelline and was excited to see they offered an option with SPF 20! Score!
Why You Need It:
- SPF 20!! It is SO important to protect your lips from sun damage to keep your lips full and cancer free!
- Perfect for everyday use and even better to wear under or over your lipstick
- Keeps lips baby soft and moisturized for up to 8 hours
- It costs $4 bucks and can easily be purchased at your local drugstore!!
- Did I mention it has SPF in it???
Did you know the sun’s UV rays can impact the production of collagen in your lips, so overtime as you age your lips begin to thin out and wrinkle?!
What product do you use to protect your lips?

B.A.D. Girl Style: Freak Out!
What I Wore: Zara Tee, Free People Jeans, Dolce Vita Sandals, Michael Kors Watch, Nidia E Earrings & Target belt
My awesome dad surprised me last week with tickets to see my FAVORITE comedian, Mr. Kevin James! I am obsessed with this man and I am not even joking. I would marry him if I could, but don’t tell the bf! I def freaked out when my dad told me I was going so I thought this shirt would be appropriate to wear! I wanted to be comfortable, but of course stylish in the event that I met the love of my life face to face!
I went to the show with my sister and we had a great time (minus the $22 spent on 2 beers – outlandish!). I was literally jumping out of my seat waiting to see Kevin in person! I am obsessed with his humor so he of course had me dying during the show!
They prohibited the use of cameras in the theater, but I snuck mine in anyways (rules, what rules?!) and tried to snap a few pics of him. I only wish I got to meet him, but I know my day will come. It was still so awesome to see him live. Big thank you to my pops for hooking us up!
P.S. I started playing around with make up and face contouring and I am obsessed. Blog post to follow for sure!
P.P.S. Happy Birthday DAD!!!
Who’s your favorite comedian?

B.A.D. Girl Tip For Getting What You Want
A lot of times we find ourselves getting discouraged from pursuing our dreams because we get caught up in thinking “HOW” is what I want going to happen. We feel like things are impossible. I hate to break it to ya, but nothing is impossible! I have learned that it is in our best interest to focus solely on the end result. Learn to control your thoughts and keep them focused on the “What” and in turn all of the “How’s” will be answered. All of the things, ideas, people, tools that you need will find their way into your life.
- Focus on the WHAT; not the HOW.
- Spend time everyday visualizing your desires (create a vision board if that helps).
- Take inspired action and have unwavering faith that what you want CAN & WILL come true.
I firmly believe that we can have, achieve, and get everything that we want in life as long as we think and feel positive!
Share with me your success stories in the comments!

B.A.D. Girl Style: Oh, baby!
I attended a baby shower for my beautiful sorority sister, Nazly, this past weekend. She is expecting her first child and it’s a girl! YAY!
I wore a daisy print dress from Zara with a lace blazer and Prabal Gurung x Target heels. My lovely friend looked amazing in a dress she scored on Gilt!
As part of my gift I made baby girl her first studded piece, a turband! It was the tiniest one Ive ever made and I think it came out friggen adorable! I can’t wait to see the little princess wear it!
The baby shower was a blast and I love any opportunity to spend time with my sorority sisters! We are all so excited for the newest arrival!
Have you been to a baby shower recently?
