Queen Elizabeth II approved the marriage of Prince Harry and Ms. Rachel Meghan Markle.

In a move to signify, a step closer to the wedding of 2018, Prince Harry and Ms. Rachel Meghan Markle have received the blessing from the Queen!!! via The Daily Mail:

The Queen has given her formal consent to the marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle – using their real names, Henry and Rachel.

In a letter to the Privy Council, the monarch expressed her approval of the upcoming wedding between her ‘most dearly beloved grandson’ and his fiancee, 36.

A similar letter was signed by Her Majesty just one week before the 2011 wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

At a Privy Council meeting on Wednesday, the monarch made the declaration and will have signed a Great Seal of the Realm.

It read: ‘I declare My Consent to a Contract of Matrimony between My Most Dearly Beloved Grandson Prince Henry Charles Albert David of Wales and Rachel Meghan Markle, which Consent I am causing to be signified under the Great Seal and to be entered in the Books of the Privy Council.’

The first six people in the line of succession must have the Queen’s consent before they can marry on May 19, as set out by the Succession to the Crown Act 2013.

Should Prince Harry have married Meghan without the monarch’s approval, he and his descendants would be banned from ever ascending to the throne.

The act’s introduction saw sex removed as a determining factor in the line of succession, meaning Prince Harry is fifth-in-line behind Princess Charlotte.

A monarch’s permission has been sought for those in the line of succession since the 18th century.

Under the Royal Marriages Act 1772, all descendants of George II had to obtain the sovereign’s agreement before they wed, otherwise the marriage was invalid.

A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: ‘Her Majesty finally gave consent to the marriage of Prince Harry and Ms Meghan Markle under the Succession to the Crown Act by making a declaration at the meeting of the Privy Council on March 14, 2018.’

As if we were not already excited, the Queen used their first names and declared Harry as her, “most dearly beloved grandson.” Oh, the love. I am going to be in bed all day watching this splendid occasion. Bravo Prince Henry and Rachel.

XOXO,

Rachel Meghan Markle Dazzles in her first official event as a Royal.

Ms. Rachel Meghan Markle, soon to be wife and Duchess (we’re still gushing to figure out her official title after she marries Prince Henry (Harry) of Windsor, stepped out of her and Harry’s Range Rover meeting up with the Duke of Cambridge, William and Duchess of Cambridge Catherine, to embark on today’s events for the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey. Meghan rose to the occasions, as always, draped in an ensemble showcasing her already fashionable status.

Ms. Markle was a dream in a cream Amanda Wakeley coat. It was worn over a distinguished navy Amanda Wakeley dress and accessorized with a custom hat by, Stephen Jones. Meghan carried a small Mulberry Darley satchel. Meghan finalized the look in some heels that give us, Sex in the City, Carrie Bradshaw vibes, with her suede Manolo Blahnik pumps.  Via Amanda Wakeley, “Meghan looking gorgeous in our Sculpted Tailoring Crombie Coat and Springsteen Tailored Midi Dress today at the Commonwealth Day Service.”

Wellness Wednesday and Therapeutic Thursday Blog 2/28 & 3/1

Happy March 2018 Loves,

Yesterday left me needing a short break and I forgot to up load the Wellness Wednesday post. I needed some much needed wellness care and was going to the gym. Unfortunately, Lambchop’s autism center called and told me his ABA (applied behavior analysis), therapist called in short notice and I needed to pick him up. Thus, cutting my gym time to a halt. I really needed that gym session yesterday. Also, my sitter cancelled on me for this weekend so, yea….I needed some mommie gymtime and my body is feeling the stress of the last few days.

Nevertheless, Lambchop did not get upset when I picked him up early. My wonderful husband made sure he had Chickfila, for snack time and Lambchop was busy eating that to notice the big change, thankfully. 🙂 We made it home through the mind boggling traffic in New Orleans to get to our little home and Lambchop ate, had a bath, played around, had reading time and off to bed he went.

I was able to sneak in a long bubble bath and finally relax a little until I was off to bed as well. ♥

Thursday,

I woke up this morning to my husband not remembering to set the alarm. Lambchop missed the school bus and husband was in super dad mode. Before I could say much, lol….they were out of the house and on their way to school and work. I was able to muster the little energy I had…(I woke up to sharp, muscle spasms). I did a little leg and back exercises before getting ready for work and out the door to teach I went. I made sure to take some tylenol before my day was to get hectic, because I am also a teacher and my high schoolers are just like my children as well, along with the personalities to match, lol!!

We’ll chat later.

XOXO,

Good Morning Loves, 

Today is skincare sunday, fashion show watching on youtube and getting ready for this incoming work and mommyhood week with my Lambchop. I spent all day yesterday with my alumni association. I serve as president and I am building their stand alone alumni association website and I am their social media chairwoman. What can I say, I love social media, blogging and making sure I give back to my university local community.

Last night was Domino’s pizza, lemonade, and Netflix. Lambchop is spending the weekend with his Nana, so mommy has a little break until later on today. In today’s episode of Skincare Sunday. I am using my fan favorite: L’Oreal Pure-Clay Argile Mask (Red clay mask). When my skin is crying for an exfoliation, this is my go to mask. Thus, I am spending the rest of the day working out, blogging and relaxing.

WELLNESS WEDNESDAY BLOG 2/21/18

Screen Shot 2018-02-11 at 12.59.15 PMI am in the 3rd day of the week after a long Mardi Gras week off and two days trying to get over a viral infection. I do not feel as if I had enough time to get better. Between taking care of my son, who has autism and is under me 24/7, to the demands of being a wife and house cleaner, I am exhausted. I am investing the time into taking naps when I get off of work, maintaining my blog and just trying to keep my head on straight. I was late for work this week, two days in a row 😦

Normally, I have my stuff together, but the last few weeks have been a little rough. So, what do I do?

1. Pray for release of the pressure.
2. Communicate my needs to my spouse.
3. Rely on him more to navigate the chores, I am too exhausted to take up.
4. Keep my son, Lambchop on his schedule, to relieve the pressure off of me.
5. Remind myself that it’s going to be ok.
6. Take naps daily.
7. Go to bed early.
8. Do not stress over things I cannot control.
9. Pray more.
10. Relax, Relate, Release.

Happy Wellness Wednesday,
XOXO

DEALS YOU CAN USE IN BEAUTY:

Movies I love: Fifty Shades Freed, Suicide Squad, Fashion from the movie, Get Out, and Under The Cherry Moon (Prince).

Screen Shot 2018-02-15 at 8.49.47 PM.pngFIFTY SHADES FREED:

  • ONLY FOR THE LOVERS, THE LUSTERS AND THE SOON TO BE LOVERS.
  • IT MAKES FOR A GOOD SUSPENSE MOVIE; EVEN THOUGH, IT WAS PANNED BY SOME MEDIA OUTLETS. I REALLY LIKED (SPOILER ALERT), HOW A. STEEL CAME INTO HER OWN AS A WOMAN AND WIFE. YOU REALLY SEE HER GROW UP FROM THE FIRST MOVIE TO THIS FINAL ONE. 
  • CHRISTIAN BECAME MORE RELAXED, RELATABLE AND SUPPORTIVE. THAT MRS. ROBINSON STILL HAS A HOLD ON HIM. 
  • I WANTED THE AUTHOR TO DIVE DEEPER INTO THE MYSTIC HOLD THAT MRS. ROBINSON HAS ON CHRISTIAN. THERE IS A LOT MORE TO THAT STORY. 
  • I WANTED TO ALSO SEE MORE OF CHRISTIANS CHILDHOOD. THERE REALLY NEEDS TO BE MORE FILMS AND OR BOOKS TO EXPLORE THIS DYNAMIC. 
  • A LOT OF KIDS WHO GROW UP IN FOSTER CARE CAN GO EITHER WAY IN LIFE. IT WAS NICE OF THE FILM SHOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF YOU ARE CHOSEN BY THE WRONG FAMILY. 
  • MORAL OF THE STORY: WE NEED MORE 50 SHADES OF GREY AND MORE CHRISTIAN GREY.

An ICON GONE TOO SOON: FASHION MEMORIES FROM PRINCE ROGERS NELSON: MOVIE: UNDER THE CHERRY MOON

Prince: A fashion Orgasm
What else can be said of a man with as much sex appeal as Prince has/had😒. Baby, Fashion Dolls, I was over come with so many juicy emotions, while watching Under the Cherry Moons last night. The movie was good, fashions excellent, sexy people & Prince Rogers Nelson was the cake topper!

Sexy

  • TRICKY – can get it!

  • Kristin Scott Thomas- Fashion Doll DIVA
  • Prince in a tub:

MOVIE: GET OUT

 

Screen Shot 2018-02-13 at 12.58.49 AM.png

see picture credit here

Date I saw the movie: May 2017

REVIEW:

  • The movie was filmed in Mobile and Fairhope, Alabama.
  • Original release date was 2/24/2017
  • BOX OFFICE STATS: What amazing about the statistics below is the sheer enthusiasm about the content of the film. The budget was only 5 million dollars, but the movie made over two hundred and fifty million before it’s one year anniversary release.
  • There is a parents guide to the film as well.
Screen Shot 2018-02-13 at 12.49.29 AM

  • All I can say is: I was not ready for what my eyes watched.
  • As kids you hear stories from older African Americans about not going in certain places for many reasons.
  • All I can say is watch the movie to see what I mean.
  • I was not prepared for this movie.
  • Mr. Peel did an excellent job. 🌺

Day two of my viral infection, being a mommie, schools out for my son, Mardi Gras 2018 and other tidbits.

  • Happy Friday Loves,
  • We are gearing up for the weekend, Mardi Gras and getting over a viral infection. I am on day 2 of being home sick. This morning I am still in recovery mode from being ill. My son’s school is out today.
  • His school is celebrating Mardi Gras break a little early. I woke up around 8ish. Hubster was already gone to work. We have this routine that he leaves before our son and I because Lambchop (our son’s nickname), has Autism and separation anxiety. We tracked the anxiety triggers and are finding ways to work around it.
  • I am a special education teacher and this step (tracking behavior triggers),  is easy for me, 🙂
  • We are doing well with Lambchop thus far.
  • Breakfast: Pancakes, eggs, smoke sausage, milk, and juice. 
  • Lunch: Not sure what’s on the menu for that. 
  • Blog: I am always looking for ways to update the look and character of 4373fashionlane.com. 

  • Pinterest: I am working on being better at adding blog postings and tidbits on the site. I have claimed the site on Pinterest, finally!!! xx.

Even brown grass turns green

  • While I have been battling a viral infection and 🤒 fever, I am taking the moment to blog my sickness away.
  • Last week I was conversing with a dear girl friend of mine who I recently, pleasantly and surprising found out, she met her boyfriend on Tinder. Now, I’m not a prude. I’ve been called bougie a few times, lol; however, I am happy for my girl.
  • She has found a great guy. They have had some bumps and shakes in their relationship, but he makes her happy. Prince Harry and future Princess 👸🏽 Meghan Markle
  • Everyone deserves a Prince 🤴🏼 charming
  • A few years back, I was concerned, due to her concerns and told her she should leave. I am happy she didn’t listen to me. This week I reminded her of our conversation and she said she remembered. I let her know how happy for her I was and I am truly glad she didn’t leave. I ended our conversation by saying, “Even brown grass turns green.” It’s a true statement.
  • I have to, at times, coach myself through my own good advice. That’s for another blog post down the line. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Love ❤️

XOXO,

Sick, blogging and Instagram love for Thursday, Feb 7, 2018

  • You understand the drill, wake up, go to work, feel sick, go to the doctor, come home. Next day, the same thing. Well today, I am home with an upper respiratory infection and fever. It’s really crazy how much of a difference going to an Urgent care clinic is from going to the emergency room. Plus, it’s cheaper to go to the urgent care clinic versus going to the ER. I am stuck for two days in bed.
  • Am I sad!!! No way, Mardi Gras 2018 is next week and school is out for the entire week, next week. I have began my Mardi Gras 2018 holiday two days early. The only down turn is my students were working on their Mardi Gras Shoebox Floats and of course, I miss them.
  • This morning my Instagram, postings are up. Of course you will see more but on that I am loving early this morning is from the fashion doll and wife of Media Mogul Steve Harvey, is Marjorie Harvey. Her social media is the bomb.com in a good way. Her fashion eye is first class.
  • Next, Lady Oprah is serving Love in her SuperSoulSessions and SuperSoulConversations events.

Updating the blog and other tidbits

Happy February 2018:

Wowzers!! The year is going by faster than expected. A lot has happened since my last post. During that time, I was busy posting on my Instagram page,  of the many fashion week likes I was feeling. I have changed the look of, 4373FASHIONLANE.COM. I enjoyed the last few days preparing for my experience riding on a Mardi Gras float with the, Mystic Krewe of Femme Fatale. Screen Shot 2018-02-05 at 4.54.16 PM

Here are some things I am working on this week and the next few days:

  • Updating 4373beautylane on InstagramScreen Shot 2018-02-05 at 4.13.11 PM.png
  • 4373beautylane, is a new instagram page, in which I wanted to highlight only beauty content. Additionally, I am learning the art of makeup and needed a place for women, such as myself, who do not want to continue spending hundreds of dollars having someone else applying our makeup, when we can accomplish this art on our own.
  • There is so much I want to accomplish with the brand, 4373…however, I know that great content requires time and effort.
  • I am a born and raised resident of New Orleans, and it’s carnival (Mardi Gras season), I parade (ride) with the Mystic Krewe of Femme Fatale. We are celebrating five wonderful years as the 1st African American all female krewe in the cities 300 year history. Mardi Gras originally began in the year 1700.
  • The first krewe, was all white, male and rich. Women were not allowed to parade and women of color were in slavery, and not considered property.
  • Even though we have the men of the Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club., women are not allowed voting privileges in these male dominated krewes.
  • It warms my spirit to know that we now have an organization that appreciates the lives, work and dedication of African American, professional and educated women in the city of New Orleans.
