Living My Chic Life!
When I speak about being irresponsible with my money, I specifically mean I wasn’t saving enough and I was accumulating debt. Yes, I’ve always contributed to a 401K. Yes, my bills are paid on time 100% of the time. That was never my issue. Like so many I found it hard to save yet easy to spend. My credit debt utilization was insane in 2016. I couldn’t figure out how I got there. So let’s back track…READ MORE
I love money and I love shopping. It can be for clothes, furniture or even groceries, i don’t care I love to buy. When I turned 27 I took a long look at where I was in life, then decided I needed to make a change. Since graduating from college I have spent thousands of dollars but have nothing to show for them. Sure I’ve had experiences, I’ve looked amazing, I’ve eaten at great restaurants and made many memories, but I don’t really know where all of my money went.

For the last several years I’ve tried all types of diets, I’ve worked out nonstop and ran around doing so many things mindlessly. I’ve killed the 22 Days Nutrition Plant Based challenge, I’ve completed the Whole 30 Challenge at least twice, attempted Keto, boxed, ran, lifted weights, exhausted myself at the gym, kept up eyebrows, nails, toes and spent HOURS at the hair salon. Through my dieting, excessive bouts of working out and personal upkeep routines, I’ve been nothing but in a hurry. My dieting never allows me to see lasting results, over exercising burns me out and my to do list never allows me to be in the moment. It was upon realizing this that I decided to shift my life and create better habits. READ MORE
I’ve been unhappy with my closet this year, annoyed with everyone looking the same and just overall, over fashion. I love to look to other bloggers and just people on the streets for inspiration but with the hustle and bustle of life that’s become a challenge. For a lifestyle blogger and fashion lover this is quite the debacle. Lacking motivation in this area really affects everyone of my endeavors. To you this may sound dramatic but if you’ve ever read this blog, you know I believe looking good makes you feel good and feeling good improves every other area of your life. For a while I haven’t felt my best because I haven’t dressed my best. I love looking chic, hence the name Chic In Chocolate, so I knew I had to make a change.READ MORE
