Beautiful black woman holding a valentine's day card

February is almost over, and while we eagerly anticipate spring, the weather continues to fluctuate. I had been delaying sharing my Valentine's gift due to a backlog of posts. However, as February draws to a close, I decided it's now or never. I received flowers, a card, and plenty of delicious treats.

My partner surprised me with a lovely card and a bouquet of flowers. I cherish life's simple pleasures, finding joy in even the smallest moments. The card and flowers brought me immense happiness, filling my heart with warmth and countless smiles.

Receiving flowers is always a delightful gesture, although I understand not everyone shares the same sentiment. I texted my partner to inquire about the meaning behind the flowers and attached is a screenshot of his reply.

Even though the flower was near a window and heater, altering its look, I was determined to capture its beauty. I'm thankful for my partner's thoughtful gift, which brought me joy. I pray God blesses and guides him. Amen.

My Valentine's Day Gifts from My Partner

Last year, when I met up with my friend in Edinburgh, we had a good time. We enjoyed part of the Christmas holiday together, and it was amazing walking around the Christmas market. During one of her shopping rounds, she decided to gift me this bracelet. I was supposed to open it before Christmas, but I did not because I wanted to do it in my own time and also read the note she put inside at my own pace.

So, finally, I opened it this February, and I must say it is lovely. This bracelet is such a wonderful gift that I don't take it for granted. She has been an amazing friend and sister.

This Dyadema bracelet says 'sista,' meaning sister. I remember her writing a note in the hotel and putting it inside the gift, and I read it and just felt I should share it with you all. There are people you will meet, and you appreciate their presence in your life, and I really appreciate my friend.

I want to say a big thank you to my friend Ebubechi for this loving and beautiful gift. This 18kt gold-plated bracelet is made in Italy by Dyadema.

Before you ask me why I didn't open it, I have this thing where I just keep saving things that are so meaningful to me and also keeping them hidden from myself, lol, and then I say, 'Okay, I need to open it.' I am so happy to share her beautiful note; I appreciate every word.

Friendship note from my friend

Dear God,

Today, I come before You with a grateful heart, lifting up my dear friend to Your loving embrace. I declare ease in her life, Lord, and I ask that You keep her and make her shine brightly in Your light. Guide her steps, Father, and lead her along the path of Your divine plan for her life. Protect her from all harm and evil, and surround her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.

Lord, when the time comes for her to enter into the sacred covenant of marriage, I pray that You will lead her to a man who fears You, a man who will love her unconditionally and support her in her journey. May their union be blessed by Your presence, and may they grow old together, hand in hand, walking in Your ways.

Thank You, Lord, for the gift of friendship and for the opportunity to lift each other up in prayer. May Your will be done in her life, now and always. In Jesus' name, I pray.

Amen.
Black lace jumpsuit streetstyle by UK top blogger

Before I talk about this outfit, I want to wish my big sister a very happy birthday. She's nice and caring. And to everyone born in February, happy birthday to you too!

If you're thinking about getting a black jumpsuit, I suggest this one with a lace top and long sleeves because it's simple and elegant. Styling formal jumpsuits can be fun to style, so I like to save them for special occasions. Jumpsuits are great because they make you look taller and fancier. The lace patterns on this one add a nice touch of style.

A black jumpsuit is undoubtedly a closet essential. This particular jumpsuit is from Rosewe. Admittedly, I don't typically wear jumpsuits due to my height and concerns about the fit around the waist. However, this jumpsuit has a loose fit, and even though I opted for a size small, it surprisingly looked better on me than I anticipated, particularly in terms of fit. Quality-wise, I'm impressed with the fabric and the exquisite lace detailing. The lace stands out beautifully, especially when caught in the sunlight.

The lace sleeves are transparent and wrap nicely around the neck. This jumpsuit isn't really for work, but it's great for fancy events like weddings. I wore it with brown Zara block heels. At first, I wasn't sure, but the whole outfit ended up looking fantastic!

To sum up, this Lace Belted Black Long V Neck Jumpsuit is a gorgeous choice for your wardrobe. If you want to buy it, you can find it on Rosewe's website. The shipping was quick, and the item arrived safely without any damage.

Mea Culpa Movie Review

This is a movie about a woman named Mea Culpa who is a lawyer and married to a husband whose brother is high in the police force and wanted to run for mayor. They lied that their mother was sick to gain sympathy from the audience.

Mea is unaware of what is going on but kept her cool even when her husband sold the expensive piano he bought to purchase a watch for his mother's birthday without telling her. Her husband's mother was disrespectful and a bully, but Mea kept her cool.

One day when she got to her office, she was told that a popular artist who was accused of murder was waiting for her and wanted her to take up the case. She wasn't sure about it, and when her husband's family found out, they all freaked out and came to her house to tell her not to take the case, but she refused. She took on the case, but it got complicated as she started working with a private investigator to find out the truth about the missing person who no one was able to see yet the high-profile artist was accused. Little did she know that her husband, his brother, and mother were all in the plan together. Her husband's brother accused the artist and set him up in order to solve the case and put him in prison so the people would vote for him and be on his side.

Mea Culpa is a movie that brings us back to the reality of the marriages we see these days. When I started watching this movie, I was very interested in the storyline, so I paid close attention. This is a movie about what happens in real life. A lot of people enter into relationships with genuine hearts and love, only to be broken and shattered due to family members and wicked spouses. The family you marry into is very important and can influence the peace of your home if your spouse isn't careful or allows themselves to be pushed around.

Kelly rowland is the star of the movie and I must say, she looks amazing. Great cast.
