Our home is where we can be our true selves. 

Where we can sit in our shadow self.  Where we can be held and feel safe by the things that have meaning to us and reflect who were are because our space should be an extension of who we are.  It’s unique to us and should not look like the pins you see on a Pinterest board.  It is in essence who we are. 

We should be surrounding ourselves with things that embody our personality and style, with colors that we love, with furnishings and accessories that really emulate who we are to our core.  

I’m glad that you’re here and that you’re all in on elevating your space, increasing the vibrations of your space to allow for all the manifestations that you deserve and to allow for all the goodness to come into your home.  You’ve done the work now it’s time to elevate.

Welcome.

Now when I’m not creating magic on my laptop designing rooms, you will find me stuffing my face, or spending time with one of our four kids, plant babies or just chillin' with my husband, Robert, who I met online about 16 years ago (might’ve been Black Planet or Mi Gente lol). I also spend way too much time fixing Robert’s many failed decorating projects - someone pray for me please!

I love all things personal development like therapy, which saved my life btw, journaling, spending time in crystal shops/nature, and practicing Tarot. I live with depression and anxiety and being able to whip these things out of my wellness toolbox get me through my episodes.

Anyways, I'm super passionate about Interior Decorating because I realized the hard way that our environment affects our well being aka mental health (more about that below).

Some things you may not know about me…

• I'm a cusp baby (born June 21) aka the Summer Solstice. I’m a Cancer sun (I know and understand the importance of home), Leo moon (I love and deserve nice quality things) and I’m a Scorpio rising (being at home in our shadow is what we all deserve - peace surrounded by a space that makes us feel so damn good). In other words, I was born for this.

• I’m the middle child (I grew up with two sisters, but between my dad and mom, I have 2 older sisters and 6 brothers).

• I was 17 when I had my first child (while my friends were thinking about what they were going to do when they graduated HS, I was thinking about how I was going to raise my baby). I waited almost 10 years to have my second child because I understood early on that my little girl is watching my every move (plus our actions determine our fate and I wasn't about to become a statistic again).

• I’m half Dominican and half Guatemalan. People don't believe me and I often get confused for Puerto Rican or Guyanese. My mom is Guatemalan and yes, she's tiny as hell oh and I grew up in Jamaica, Queens.

• We moved around like crazy when I was younger because my mom was trying to keep a roof over our heads - she was a single mom (by crazy, I mean about 10 times. I swear, our friends thought we were running from the cops! lol)

• Growing up, my bedroom was in our kitchen. We lived in a studio apartment and the biggest room was the kitchen so my mom divided the kitchen, put in a bunk bed and our bedroom was born (I shared it with my older sister). Embarrassing as hell, but it worked. (I get my resilience from my mother).

• I met my husband online and it turns out that he already knew my father and half brothers since they were neighbors long before we met (crazy right?)

• My favorite color is green and I'm really starting to feel purple lately. I really love black too, but I’m trying to add some color to my life.

• I love, love, love, love food! Up until I hit my 30s, I was able to eat whatever the hell I pleased and not gain a pound, but things have changed and I'm still pissed at that. Nonetheless, it doesn't stop me from indulging in my fav dishes like jerk chicken, all Spanish food of course, Indian food, oh and let's not forget Soul Food. Btw, I knew Robert was the one when we were dating once I let him eat from my plate because everyone who knows me knows that I don't share my food unless you're one of my kids and even they get the side eye.

• I'm an introvert. Big time. It takes me a minute to warm up to you if I don't know you or if someone in my circle doesn't know you, but once I feel comfortable with you, it's like we've know each other for years (it’s the Scorpio in me lol)

• I'm an empath. I can feel bullshit from a mile away and 99.99% of the time, my gut feeling about someone always turns out to be right. It's a gift and a curse (that’s that double water sign working its magic)

• I'm a recovering type A personality, but after hitting rock bottom a few times (anxiety is a bitch), I've learned to release control and just go with the flow.
