Hello 25

Initially I thought 25 would be like a feeling I got. A feeling that would be sorta frightening. In the gut. But when I say I sincerely walked into 25 just like any other day. I mean it.

I realized how silly it was to be counting the days down. It wasn't until the day before I would realize that. It's like all my expectation just walked away. And I just said

"Live Chantele"

Other thoughts, I've made a conscience effort to be more of myself. Stop thinking about how many likes you will get. In reality or on Instagram. Real life doesn't have a like button. Stop getting caught up in what people think about you. I accept me. And the person I'm becoming. That's all that matters!

Cool thing! I ended up losing 10 pounds like I wanted. But if I'm not careful I will gain it back! Haha. Upon writing I literally ate several cookies! I know lol. Team Curvy! But my new goal is to lose 20 pounds before my anniversary. We'll see.

Below is my Lookbook for a gathering I attended... I had to be my most grown that day.
