✨ About Me

 Hey there! I’m Anjelize — a 25-year-old full-time working mama, blogger, content creator, and lover of all things real and relatable. Life is busy, messy, beautiful, and a little chaotic... but it’s mine, and I’m learning to embrace every moment of it.

I started this blog, The Life of Curls & Chaos, as a way to share the honest parts of motherhood, womanhood, and everything in between. From toddler tantrums and sleepless nights to cozy routines and curly hair tips — this space is my open journal.

I’m currently navigating life as a single mom, raising my sweet boy Xander while finding balance and purpose through it all. I know how hard it can be to juggle everything and still try to show up for yourself — and I want you to know you’re not alone.

Whether you're here for the tips, the tears, or the tea, I’m so glad you found me.💓

What I Would Tell My Old Self Before Becoming a Mom

  What I Would Tell My Old Self Before Becoming a Mom I think about her sometimes — the girl I used to be before I became “mama.” The girl who had full control over her day, who thought motherhood would be hard but manageable, who had no clue how much would change… and how fast. There’s so much I wish I could tell her. I’d tell her that motherhood will crack her open in ways she can’t imagine. That some mornings, she’ll wake up and already feel tired — not from lack of sleep, but from giving so much of herself over and over again. But I’d also tell her that every single piece of love she pours out will find its way back to her — in tiny fingers gripping her hand, in sleepy “mama” whispers, in unexpected cuddles during chaos. I’d tell her that her body will change, and so will her soul. Stretch marks, saggy skin, a new softness in places she used to criticize — but also a new strength in places she never knew she had. I’d tell her that there will be lonely days — really lon...

Raising Kids During Uncertain Times

  Raising Kids During Uncertain Times: The Fear & the Faith It Takes to live our daily lives  I don't usually write about the news. But lately, it feels impossible not to. The world feels heavy right now — with headlines about war, conflict, and violence growing louder every day. And as a mom, it hits different. I look at my child and think: How do I protect them from a world I can’t predict? How do I raise a little one in a time when even  I  don’t know what’s coming next?  The Weight of the News Whether it's global wars, political tension, or community violence — there’s a constant hum of fear in the air. And if I’m honest, I carry that with me in ways I never did before I became a mother. My son is the first thought in everything I do — and the thought of not being able to protect him terrifies me It’s not just about what’s happening overseas. It’s about what could happen here. It’s about the safety of our kids in schools, in stores, even in our own neigh...

Let’s Get Real

  Let’s Get Real: Making Time When You Have None Let’s get real for a second. Between work, parenting, cleaning, cooking, and just trying to keep it all together , “me time” can feel like a luxury we don’t have. And the gym? That feels like a full-blown event when you’re already running on fumes. But here’s what I’ve been learning: if we don’t make time for ourselves, no one else will. And it doesn’t have to be perfect. Sometimes it’s 15 intentional minutes — a quick walk, a slow stretch, a deep breath with a locked bathroom door. That counts. Some days I make it to the gym. Some days I call putting on clean clothes a win. And honestly? Both are valid. I’m also trying to unlearn the habit of just surviving the week and living for the weekend. Because life isn’t just Friday nights and Sundays. We deserve joy on Mondays. Peace on Tuesdays. Little moments that feel like ours even on the busiest days. Balance isn’t about doing everything — it’s about doing something for yours...
