Better Late Than Never

Annnnnnnnnddddddddddd... WE'RE BACK! It's been a while, seven month to be exact. But I'm back and I am ready to go! I said that I would relaunch my blog in 2019 (after taking a hiatus, graduating college, and adjusting to real life) after my birthday post. That obviously did not happen, but a lot has gone into these seven months. The idea was to relaunch on New Years Day, but seeing that we are five months in to 2019 and the blog is just relaunching, things didn't go as planned. So here we are, five months late, with a name change and more content on the way. I did not know how I wanted to reshape the blog or what I wanted to do to relaunch it. But I knew that it was time for a change. This Beautiful Blossom was a start to this whole thing and I am so appreciative of the people that read those blogs. I decided to change the name and relaunch because that was a stage in my life. That was a time in my life where I finally began to come to terms with who I am and I ...

YEAR 26

 I turned twenty-six yesterday, and if I'm being completely honest I was dreading it. I'm so close to thirty and I haven't accomplished the things that I wanted to by twenty-five. Before I know it, I'm going to be thirty and hoping I'm in the position I want to be in. I didn't plan anything for my birthday and wasn't expecting it to be special. For the first time I looked at my birthday as just another day. But when I woke up yesterday morning to so many text messages from friends and family and so many people telling me happy birthday, it put the BIGGEST smile on my face. I've learned that as you get older the desire for tangible gifts start to fade, and you dive into the other gifts in your life; friends, family, relationships, life and spirituality. I was showered with so much love and it was more than I could have asked for and so much more than I expected. My heart is so full and I am full of gratitude. I started this day dreading turning twenty...

Growing Up a Tomboy

***Before you read, please note: This is my own personal experience, from my perspective. I am not trying to or do not intend to project myself or my experience on anyone else*** We all have that one female friend who is not a typical girl. They are stronger than the boys they know, can probably beat them in an arm wrestle and play a man's game better than a man. We all know that one girl who is known as one of the guys, that one friend that everyone thinks is gay but she isn't. We all know that one girl who loves playing and watching sports and wears jeans all the time. The girl who makes everyone's head turn when she actually walks into a room with a dress, heels, make up and hair done, because people aren't used to seeing her that way. The friend that everyone is surprised can not only walk in heels but can strut in them. If you're reading this and thinking, "I'm that girl" you are not alone, so am  I. We are the tomboys, we are the girls that ...

Happy New Year everyone! *A few Walt Disney quotes ahead* So today is obviously the first day of 2018 and I am so excited for everything this year will bring. This is going to be an exciting year for me and I hope for you as well. With that being said, there is a sort of tradition that I started with myself about five years ago. Every year on the first day of the year I make a vision board or a vision book. It is something I know many people do, and I love the idea of writing down a vision, writing down the things you want and how you are going to get them. For me, getting something down on paper solidifies it, and for the law as well. But back to what I was saying. As you will find out, I am the type of person that likes to write I have a collection of journals each with a different purpose, I just love to write things down and one day look back on them to see where I was and how far I have come. That's kind of what these vision boards are to me, so at the end of the year whe...

This Beautiful Blossom

Welcome to my blog everyone! My name is Dyamond J. and this is my new blog. I am a 25 year old Los Angeles native, and I am an actress. I am starting this blog just because I think it is a fun idea and a way to share my experiences with people. This was originally going to be a fashion blog, but I have more to say and more to talk about than just fashion. I've been on a crazy journey up to this point and I have learned so much about myself and life in the process. I want to share these life lessons and these groundbreaking moments in my life. Yes, I will talk about fashion because I really like fashion but I will also talk about life. My life to be exact, and the things that I have learned from what I have been through. The thing about life is that it can get you down, and sometimes it can sucks. For periods of time is actually sucks more than anything. But what I have learned is that I have come through all of that for a reason. I am where I am for a reason, it didn't kill ...
