Black Girl Luxury

So as of lately I’ve been on this “Black Girl Luxury” kick and it’s all I think about these days. When I picture my life and all that I want it to be it screams LUXURIOUS ! And I’m sure when most people think of Black Girl Luxury you immediately think you have to be decked out in the finest high fashion, eat at nothing but 5 star restaurants, endless swipes on your black card, etc. lol I mean sure all of those things are great and I mean who wouldn’t want those things but for me it’s a lot deeper than that.

Black Girl Luxury for me starts with my mindset. All I’ve ever known is living paycheck to paycheck, going without more times than I’d like to admit, struggling, putting on a strong face when all I wanted to do was crawl in a hole and stay there, overspending when I should have not been spending at all, gaining materialistic things only for them to be taken away from me, etc., & honestly I just got to a point where I was done living like that.

I had to be completely honest with myself and say “look girl the life you want is not going to happen if you keep going through life as usual, that includes your poor spending habits, your defeated mentality, your need for approval & acceptance, you beating yourself up about your past, you not doing anything to manifest the life of your dreams! So snap out of it, you’ve got work to do” Yes I am that girl who talks to her self and gives herself pep talks lol. It was in that moment that I decided I wouldn’t accept anything that did not represent “Black Girl Luxury”.

That means first, changing my mentality. Out with the negative & in with the positive. It starts with appreciating the things God has already blessed me with and not only appreciating it but nourishing the things God has already put in me to flourish. It means dressing up and taking myself out just because. I don’t have to wait for a special occasion to come around for me to do my makeup and put on an outfit, everyday is a special occasion and it should be celebrated accordingly. It means exploring the beauties of this world that I live in, whatever that means for me. If I want to go on a spontaneous trip just because I will. If I want to go sit at the bar and network I will. If I want to dress up and take pictures and then put my pajamas on immediately after I will. Whatever feels good to me I’m going to do. That’s Black Girl Luxury to me. Living life on MY own terms & being fabulous while doing it! Once my mindset shifts ultimately my reality will follow.
