This was a weekend filled with mall shopping, restaurant hoping, mixed with a little aftermath of Hurricane Matthew. Thankfully our side of town wasn’t severely impacted. There was flooding in certain areas, trees everywhere and no electricity for a few days but nothing compared to the aftermath Haiti is going through right now. Prayers going up for those in Haiti and Florida and any surrounding areas.
Attempting to spend as much time with one of my best friends before her departure back to the islands for med school. While she’ll be back in a month, it’s still nice to have some much needed girl talk, random trips to the mall, sugar binges, and random laughs about the college days. Ah, how time flys.
After a few hours spent with my favorite Bahama mamma, it was off to another outing with good church friends to celebrate some birthdays. 10 coconut shrimp later, it was time to face the reality that Sunday was no more. All in all it was a very chill weekend. Now for the Monday madness. Let the games begin.
I don’t have any deets on the green bomber jacket or the green booties I rocked yesterday as I snagged them both on sale months ago, but I did tag some similar styles from the same places I purchased them. Enjoy.
Sincerely,
Deidra Marie

It was a jammed packed weekend and of course the biggest honor to be apart of one of my good college friends wedding. I earned a few battle wounds due to the incessant mosquito biting but it was all worth it in the end to hangout with this fabulous crew at one of the most beautiful venues in NC.
Lovely ferry rides, great talks about the college days, learning how to apply powder foundation and contour, slicing lemons with dull knives and posting way to many Instagram stories summed up the majority of my weekend.
Two glasses of wine in and the wedding shenanigans were off to a good start, I could hardly tell my shoes were 1/2 size to small. LOL , Charlie had a good time too but he’s not sure our bank account can fund another bridesmaids dress this year. Praying no one else gets engaged until we reup on the funds. Hope you guys weekend went well. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m headed to Walmart to get some cortizone cream for these darn mosquito bites on my legs and arms.
Sincerely,
Deidra Marie

Guess who completed their first 5k? Deidra Craig did, and I’m proud of it! I spent the weekend getting color dust tossed at me in the blazing hot sun while attempting to complete 3 miles. Might I add that it was all worth it. I was accompanied by none other than the color squad of the century, my girl Hannah, a few co-workers and of course, Charlie Boo. I spent months training for this darn race and ended being so distracted by that magic color dust that I’m not even sure what my run time was. Of course, to get my moneys worth, I made sure every inch of my body was covered in color-head to toe. Surprisingly enough, the color washed right out of my hair-definitely one of my major concerns that day. I will say this though, the color dried my curls out! I had to deep condition for over an hour to regain moisture balance and detangling was a beast, so if you decide to do one of these runs, I suggest covering up your hair with a shower cap or scarf. I’d rather look funny than have to go through the deep conditioning and detangling session I went through. I guesstimate it took about 3 hours to do my hair because of that darn color. Note to self:magical colored fairy dust doesn’t make your hair grow. 🙂
Thinking of signing up for this cupcake run in October. I’ll run for cupcakes, i’ll run for ice cream, i’ll run for sweets, heck, i’ll run for food period. Also, strongly considering the Krispy Kreme challenge, i’ll run for fried carbs too. I’ll pretty much run for anything that’s eatable. 🙂 Someone should seriously consider a 5k funnel cake run. At every station you can add a new topping to your funnel cake till you get to the finish line and your funnel cake is complete with all it’s sugary goodness. Can you tell I’m health conscious? 🙂
FYI, if your thinking you’d like some of this magical colored fairy dust blasted on you for no good reason in 98 degree weather with not a water bottle in site for 3 miles, then check out the ColoVibe in a city near you here.
Sincerely,
Deidra Marie
