Welcome back!! My apologies for Monday – technology and I were not getting along and have just not been able to catch a break all week. I am currently flying back home for the weekend for an event I have been invited to speak at. I will share more once it’s over because it is definitely a more Monday post vibe.

Today I actually want to introduce to you what my initial name of this blog was going to be, and that was “Stay Sexy”. This blog website was at first going to strictly be girl talk and basically what my Friday posts entail. Growing up, my mom talked with me a lot. She is my best friend, and she did a great job preparing me for womanhood and always taught me how to be comfortable in my own skin and with who I am. I would usually take the advice she gave me and offer it to some of my friends who didn’t talk a lot with their moms or just an older female figure. My friends loved it, and it benefited them so much. So, when I first thought of making a blog years ago, I wanted to take that approach. I never got around to it though, obviously. Life was just a bit more hectic back then, and I prioritized different things and then went through a few roller coasters. But I mean, thank God I did because it really pushed me to start this once and for all, and now I can offer a space for girl talk and also just perspective on life.

But nevertheless, one thing I absolutely believe in and tell myself multiple times every day is to stay sexy. I love what it means to be sexy, and after you read how I explain what it means to be sexy, you might just end up living by it as well.

So here it goes…

The first thing is, of course, when you look up the word “sexy” and the reputation that comes with it, you immediately think of the physical aspects. As would anybody. But I want you to put that thought aside for a moment and let me cook. This is kind of like the sequel to last week’s post about being the main character, prioritizing yourself, and doing what you enjoy. But this spin goes a little deeper into who you actually are, what sets you apart from the rest, and choosing to embrace that rather than concealing it to fit in.

I am gonna tell you something right now and again I may come off harsh, but just look at me like the sister that is going to tell you like it is every time and you may resent me for it now but you will thank me down the road. You cannot be sexy just trying to be like everybody else. I guess for you to fully understand what I am getting at, I have to give you my definition of sexy.

The sexy I present to you is not physical and is definitely not for anybody’s arousal other than yourself. You see, that is the part where I switch it up on you all. Sexy is for you. It is you. Being you and knowing who that is and embracing it is sexy. Confidence is sexy. Intelligence is sexy. Being an athlete is sexy. Being a NARP is sexy. Being funny is sexy. Being serious is sexy. Being responsible is sexy. Being chill is sexy. Being strong is sexy. Being vulnerable in your weakest moments is sexy. Knowing you are sexy is sexy. Not knowing you are sexy is sexy. Being human is sexy. You picking up what I am putting down?

It is also why I tell you to stay sexy because you already are. You already have it in you, and it is what makes you uniquely you. You arouse yourself with your sexiness because it is what sets you apart from everyone else. It is yours and yours only, and not for anybody to take. It has absolutely nothing to do with what you look like. And if you are at this point and you still think that is what I am trying to say, please read the whole thing again. This is about your beauty on the inside.

So Stay Sexy ladies and as always have a fun and fabulous weekend, God bless you all<3
