  • 🍂✨ First Day of Fall… but Georgia Didn’t Get the Memo! ✨🍂

    Hey fam! So technically, it’s the first day of Fall—but let me tell you, Georgia is still serving up that hot, sticky, feels-like-summer weather. No cozy sweater vibes just yet, but that didn’t stop me from having a weekend full of energy, good people, and unforgettable vibes.

    🎬 This past weekend felt like a whole music video shoot (because, well—it was!). With my homie @therealyoungbleed in town, I had to pop out and connect. And wow… the lineup of legends I got to vibe with? Iconic!
    Shoutout to @p_stacks_atl, @therealghettomafia, @planetpetedsgb, @therealdjjelly, @datboijizzal, @allentemplefreshprince, @yingyang__kaine, @nuface, @babyd_amg,

    @therealeastsideboyz, @timzo_silk, @iamraheemthedream, @garylilg—the energy was nothing but love. And of course, fun times with @shanfreewill. 💫

    And guess what? Birthday loading… 🥳 Yup, next week is my big day (Saturday!) and I still don’t have plans—but you know me, we’ll figure out something fabulous. Y’all tell me, what should I do to celebrate? Drop your suggestions below 👇🏾.

  • 📚 Books, Candles & Birthday Vibes: Cece in the City

    Hey fam! Wheweeee… can we talk about how long August was? 😅 So much going on, and I don’t know about y’all, but I am definitely hoping September brings in brighter vibes — especially since it’s my birthday month! 🥳💖 You already know I love celebrating September big.

    Now, I know I haven’t been posting much about books lately (life has been lifing), but y’all know I’m a true bookworm. 📚 I just wrapped up Till Summer Do Us Part by Meghan Quinn, and listen — this one gets a solid 4/5 stars from me! ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It had everything: hilarious moments, romance, and even a touch of therapy vibes. Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for your next good read. 👉 Grab the book here.
