  • Women Stand Strong (WSS)

    This month, I want to shine a light on some of the amazing things I’ve been doing in the community. A few years ago, I started a women’s group called Women Stand Strong (WSS). Life can be a lot sometimes, and I wanted to create a space where us ladies could step away from the chaos, reconnect, and just enjoy ourselves.

    Once a month, we get together to catch up and engage in activities like dining out, creating vision boards, and taking nature walks. Sometimes, I slack off and miss a month, but every time we do meet, it’s filled with good vibes, fun times, and laughter. I’ve met some incredible women through this group who have become not just friends but sisters to me.

    Moving forward, I plan to add more structure to our gatherings, maybe even introduce themed events, and hopefully expand our activities. There’s so much I want to do with this group, and I’m excited about the possibilities. If you’re in the Atlanta area and interested in joining us, comment below—we’d love to have you!

    I’m also proud of myself for keeping this group going. It’s been a joy to support these amazing women, and I’m grateful for everyone who’s joined and participated. Here’s to many more great moments with WSS!

    The Williams sisters are two professional American tennis players. They have won plenty of awards and are definitely one of my favorite sport icons. Together they are a great team and can defeat anything that comes their way.

    I love that they support each other as sisters but not just that as women. Their father was their coach that inspired them to be the best they can be. It’s great to have that support system within the family. I like it when they team up for doubles and play tennis together.

    Got to give these women their roses today. Definitely love the sister love and being each other’s number one fan. Teamwork makes the dream work. Family that sticks together.

    Let’s see what 2023 will bring. What is something you love about Serena & Venus? What is a moment you would like to share about them? Make sure to follow me @Cece.Atl. 

  • Night Time Routine

    Night Time Routine

    By: Cece Hymes

    Some of my nighttime routines are to make sure the house is locked up before I go to bed. It’s better to be safe than sorry. We have a pet, so we make sure he goes out before bed. I also try to read in bed to wind down. A nice shower and relaxing music do the trick for me.

    Here are some tips you can do to wine down:

    ·         Stretch, Breathe and Relax

    ·         Listen to Music

    ·         Meditation

    ·         A Good Book

    ·         A light snack or Bedtime Tea

    Hope these things can help prepare you for a good night’s sleep. So, tell me what your routine is before bedtime.
