Who are you before you started doing whatever to impress that crowd? Who were you before he got all up in your head? Do you even remember who you are ?  Girl I know the struggle I’m trying to put all my pieces back together. Lost in the sauce I’ve been there. When they say be yourself its easier said then done. I am here to say it possible. That what I am currently doing. I’m finding myself again. Reason why I was so lost because I taught myself at a young age how to be like other people. Since I was young girl I wanted to be in the “in” crowd. With the popular girls, being the girl that all the guys liked. I really just wanted everyone to like me. My fashion sense always changed and my mind set was all over the place. No matter how hard I tried I was still that weird, awkward, cute, silly, crazy girl that I tried to hide. However all the constant change and trying to stay up on everything left me so confuse. Who am I ? Lord I don’t know. Can you answer it confidently?  Im trying to find …

Remember when I told yall I was gonna get back to the fashion. Well FashionLayn is back on target with the fashion with message niche. I had a lot of stuff going on for the past couple of weeks in September. I am so happy that October is here now. It always lovely to start fresh, it definitely makes me feel better. So far the past week  it has been super hot and it did not feel like fall. Summer said no fall I’m not ready to go without having a heat wave. So I partook in the heatwave festivities.  So I decided to wear this super cute splice top short romper from target. And you already know how much I adore strips vertically lol. It been in my closet for quite some time and never had the chance to be displayed on the blog. So since Summer decided to make impression and heat up the city, I’m gonna do a little heating up of my own in this romper. Honestly I hear a lot of flake about wearing a romper. Wedgie central, and going the bathroom is quite a task lol. All true but who cares ! It a romper and really easy …

Don’t compare yourself to others… it a route that definitely leads you to unhappiness. I definitely struggle with this from time to time. Somethings I do not know I am even doing it . But, Ii is easier said than done and I know I am not alone with this one.  We live in a age of social media and it rules everything around us, dollar dollar bill y’all ( I had Wu Tang moment don’t judge me). It really does tho, you sit there and you are scrolling through you timeline and look at others people lives and you start to get caught out in all the noise- Comparing yourself. We even do it when we are having conversations with friends, and collegues – comparing yourself. We compare our looks, lives, wealth, and everything in between. Something we compare ourselves to make ourselves feel good. All in all somebody always get hurt and always takes a stab at our confidences. When you compare yourself to others, it always looked at as a weakness. You may have a short live boost of ego and who wants that however its short lived. Worst part of it all you end up resenting …

FashionLayn is LIVE !! Welcome to my first blog post on my newly revamped website !  FashionLayn girl you got a face lift Lol!! **In my KendallKyndall voice*** Girl you look good you look blessed ! Y’all already know I am super  excited. Anywho, all I know it was time for a fresh start, a new look for my blog. The reason for revamp I wanted people and myself to take blogging seriously. If you really want to be successful (major key alert) you have to invest into yourself.  Besides I have been telling myself for the longest you need to change platforms. As most of you know I start blogging on Tumblr. I choice the free route first to see if I really could manage keeping up with a blog. So here we are on WordPress. I changed platform because I wanted my blog to be more professional, have a professional look, and to have a bit more freedom to customize and make my page my own. So with that being said I did something today that will make my future self proud. So yes its a celebration !! I have been working on this website for 6 months …

How Gardening relates to my blog and life…. I visualize my blogging career and life like building a garden you gotta be patient and have mad persistence. Its not easy getting something to grow. You definitely have to be passionate about what you doing and about your life. You gotta have vision of garden. Just like your blog you started with a vision of how you want it look. You got to have a plan for your blog and visualize where you want it to go. Just like life you have a vision on how you want your life to be. Doesn’t mean you are going to stay on topic because life have a way throwing thing at you. The most important is as long as you hit the ultimate goal. A beautiful garden (life)! Having a great soil. With a blog you have to establish a good foundation. I like to think of defining your niche as laying down the critical part of your blog. Keeping your blog certain. Same as life. For example you want to establish a good financial backing. That mean you need to create budget for yourself or a savings Constant tending You definitely have …

Now this really does not come easy to me – being care free that is. To actually let go and be absolutely care free- that is so hard to do. I always feel like I have to be in control of everything because if  I don’t then everything will blow up in my face. In all honestly, being in control of everything can blow up in your face too. Being to far left or right can be a problem. I am not saying that you need to let go of everything and run around naked in the streets of Detroit. What I am saying is that you need to let go of baggage, and truly learn how to be at piece with yourself. Sometimes you have to check out of society and marched to your own beat and be you. I have to say this is work in progress for me. I have to really reprogram my mind Here are a few of my tips that I believe help me learn how to be more care free First I believe you need to accept yourself for who you are- don’t try to be someone. Trying to be someone else is …
