About.

Welcome to the Flossie Life

For us, self care may involve a glue gun, or a bright and highly pigmented eye shadow palette, or a revised resume, or a beautifully presented meal, or the heat of warm sun rays beaming on our moisturized melanin, or the soft calming sound of waves crashing against a sparsely populated beach.

Flossie is a Latin word that means “to flourish and prosper”. This space is all about what I’ve learned from making a huge life pivot and began focusing on thriving and not just living my life. Being Flossie.

I have a special relationship to the word Flossie also because it was my Grandmother’s name. She presented to the world as a flourishing and prosperous woman even if that is not what she was feeling on the inside.

I want to create a life where I feel it on the inside and project it to the world. I began The Flossie Life as a way to share my journey as a grown ass woman that decided to take a life pivot and begin flourishing. I am into food experiences, good film and TV, DIY projects, side hustles and kicking it with my girls.

Let’s go on this journey together!
