    August 2011 I launched Addicted2Candi.com with full force. I was excited to post, I was eager to see my traffic numbers weekly. All this occurred before social media took off. Then Instagram arrived and everybody and their mother wanted to be a "Blogger."
    When I first started I was totally against being called a blogger, because at the time bloggers were messy and posted negative gossip. That was never my thing. I am more of the Fashion x Music served with lite tea site. As Instagram popularity continued to grow I was more focused on posting daily there than on my site. I worked hard to achieve a following even though most of my followers just looked and never liked....lol. On August 11th, 2017 Instagram deleted my page for the second time. It happened in 2013 and then again a few weeks ago. I was totally hurt by the action especially since I am unsure why it was deleted.
    So I have decided to refocus my energy on my merchandise TheAddictedLife I'll continue to blog here and there but I'm bigger than just being a "Blogger." Branding Addicted2Candi is so much more than that. So maybe the universe is telling me to reroute to fulfill my dreams. For anyone that enjoyed my few podcast shows, I am releasing a new podcast this month. I have so much in store for myself and all of my supporters.
    Ladies please be sure to cop your Dope Chick With Ambition T- Shirt via wwww.TheAddicted.Life.com. My goal is to be a millionaire in this lifetime and that's what I am going to achieve. Don't ever give up on your dreams. But when necessary reroute and attempt to achieve your goals another way. And remember
    "Real ones may fall back but they never fall off!"
    Be sure to follow my merchandise page @ShopTheAddictedLife and Personal Page @Addicted2Candi on the gram.

    Hey folks!! I wanted to share with my lovely Addicted2Candi.com readers, the new business I am working on. The Addicted Life is part of my whole ADDICTED branding. I've created it for the dope girls of the world, that enjoy rocking both tshirts and heels. Since I went to school for fashion(merchandising), it made sense to apply the knowledge I've obtained in school and push my own merchandise promoting my brand. If you're interested in keeping up with the release dates, please email theaddictedlife12@gmail.com to be placed on the email list. Thank you all in advance for the support. I am sure you'll love all the pieces. www.TheAddictedLife.com on its way. Be sure to follow on IG as well @TheAddictedLife

    Self Check: "I just want a shot to show my genius" -Jay-z
    Outfit: Black leggings(chicks love black leggings) My Roc The Runway Tee(Shot out to Fierce Boutique) over sized jean shirt, and yellow 54.11's Reebok classics circa 2003
Today was very eventful! I've never been big on the word "Hater" , I actually felt it was an over used term until TODAY! 9/22/2013, my instagram page was DELETED!! OMG! Who wld do something like this? LOL, like folks I'm totally shocked! I had 1060 followers and utilize social media heavy for traffic for my site. I mean it wasn't in the thousands but I appreciated all the love I received from those that checked out my IG daily! So I was a weeee bit ( in my best British accent) hurt. No worries though, bcos what's written for me shall be. Small thing to a giant. This little incident just confirms people are watching me and my moves. I'm a nice girl, so for anyone to hate is horrible. I wish them well none the less. I won't let anyone or anything to sway me from my focus. Being GREAT is the GOAL!! Thank you to all who supports the movement of ADDICTED2CANDI. BE sure to follow my new page @Addicted2Candii
    Peace Love & Candi
