#top9 posts of 2018. Thanks for the love this year, y’all! Looking forward to what 2019 brings. . Also, can I just point out that one of my “top 9” posts from 2018 was my “top 9” post from 2017? Apparently I needed to share more pics to Instagram…that or y’all just really, really liked a summary grid . . . #selife #blog #blogger #bloggerlife #designer #bloggerstyle #lifestyle #lifestyleblogger #art #artist #artistofinstagram #denverblogger #blackblogger #coloradoblogger #curlyhair #shortcurlyhair #minifro #artistoninstagram #artistsoninstagram #vsco #vscocam #vscofilter #artistsofinstagram #photography #photoshoots #denvermodel #denvermodeling #topnine2018 https://www.instagram.com/p/Br3ElGNnUSg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uq5dvomyhigr
I meant to share a handful of posts on the blog this week, but instead I chose to nestle into the holidays, spend time with my family, and give myself a rest these last few days of 2018. Sometimes it’s nice to cut yourself some slack, who knew? . I hope you had/have yourself a lovely holiday season as well (btw, happy start of #kwanzaa)! May your last few days of 2018 be restful. ❤️ ———————————————————————— • • • • • #thekeenkind #blogger #lifestyle #artist #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #blackblogger #blackbloggers #blogpost #christmas2018 #happyholidays #winteroutfit #winterootd #denverblogger #coloradoblogger #bloggersofinstagram #lifestyleblogger #bloggerslife #bloggers #bloggerlife #bloglovin #writing #writer #photo #acolorstory #thatsdarling #ohsokeen @unumdesign #unumfam https://www.instagram.com/p/Br2_l9hncBZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fbzsy6h891xa

Have you noticed the gift guide on the blog, yet? One to two times a week I share a list of presents perfect for your picky friends and quirky family members. Recently, I shared “A Gift Guide for New Parents.” I asked my parent friend what gifts they would of loved to receive after their first child and they gave me some perfect answers. If you’re still on the prowl for a holiday gift for first time parents, this list was made for you.

Here’s a photo of me pulling up my pants. Has literally nothing to do with this caption I need some advice again! . Though I am an artist (see my personal account to scope some paintings @g_stamps) I am NOT a photographer and especially not a photo editor. I can level and crop and content aware it up, but I want to learn how to edit raw photos and use various filters. I don’t have an innate eye for photography . Do you have any recommendations for me to up my skills? Specifically some good resources and/or online classes? ——————————————————— • • • • • #thekeenkind #blogger #lifestyle #artist #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #blackblogger #blackbloggers #blogpost #denverblogger #coloradoblogger #bloggersofinstagram #lifestyleblogger #bloggerslife #bloggers #bloggerlife #bloglovin #writing #writer #photo #acolorstory #thatsdarling #ohsokeen #photographyhelp #needadvice (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq8ikulHn6E/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1f8ds5v8jrt6p
Some of my favorite things during winter: chilly mornings and steaming cups of coffee. Unfortunately, it is quite warm today and I am very disappointed . Hbu?

All hair, no makeup, and obviously in need of a good #facemask.

There are a lot of think pieces out there about #blackfriday and #cybermonday. Is the sale weekend good? Bad? Is it tearing us apart [lisa]? . I don’t have the answers so I kind of waver between hating and loving Black Friday—that is, until the weekend actually arrives. When I see those sales I kind of sort of REALLY like Black Friday weekend for purely selfish reasons—it becomes my “Treat Yo’ Self” weekend. What could be better after a loud, raucous, all day feast with your family than some all-by-myself retail therapy??? And especially if you can do all that shopping from the couch. . I shared some of my favorite discounted “Treat Yo Self” items (and a few on-sale gifts for others I guess) on the blog. Check them out before Black Friday/Cyber Monday passes by!
