GUESS WHO’S BACK…AB-FAB DESIGNS IS BACK!

In short, I am beyond excited to be back doing what I love. Therefore, I feel it necessary to let you know what has been happening in my absence.

It’s been over 8 years since I put my business on hold to raise my incredible son Xavier Alexander Keyser!

Above all, it has been an amazing journey as any mom will tell you.

Firstly, every single mother will tell you, raising a child on your own is the hardest job on earth!!

Secondly, after years of struggling, my son was diagnosed this year with ADHD.

Has taken more than 3 years, but we finally started therapy and feel we are on the right path.

So, as a first-time mom, I am completely out of my dept and look forward to exploring ideas with followers of my blog.

Even though I have not participated in a fashion event for a few years (traded fashion shows for playdates 😊), I have continued my love for all things fashion & beauty.

AB-FAB Designs blog content:

  • Above all, I am an African-American entrepreneur and look forward to testing and reviewing products owned by people of color.
    Thus, shedding a spotlight on lesser known black-owned businesses.
  • Since I have a new found love of travel, I take you along on mine and Xavier’s travels.
  • Meanwhile, my new content shows how I have fun with my son.
    For example, I celebrated Xavier’s 7th birthday at Monster Mini Golf as well as chaperoned his 2nd grade field trip to the National Aquarium in Baltimore.
  • More than anything, I love to eat!! As a result, I will continue to reviewing different restaurants and post them on other platforms.
    Similarly, I am thrilled to be bringing wine and food reviews to the AB-FAB Designs website.
  • Living in the suburbs of the nation’s capital, I am fortunate to have so many historical and educational places to discover.
    Moreover, knowledge is power and I vow to expose Xavier to as much art and culture as possible.

Why come back to AB-FAB Designs…

  • Firstly, I am thrilled to bring back the high-level of fashion services AB-FAB Designs has always offered.
  • In addition, AB-FAB Designs is now offering live, virtual and hybrid event planning services.
    Subsequently, there will be discounts on services.
  • Follow me during my fitness journey and learn what it’s like to be a pescatarian with a son that eats meats.
    For example I will bring workout tips and recipes to please adults and kids.
  • Adopting Paris as my second home I want to learn better French so I am adding languages to my repertoire.
  • As the world changes with COVID-19 so must AB-FAB Designs.
    During our global time in quarantine, I will post updates on changes in services as the government decides what the reentry plans will be.

STAY FASHIONABLE!
