While chatting with Lauren Wilson, it wouldn鈥檛 come as a surprise if songs like Chaka Khan鈥檚 鈥淚鈥檓 Every Woman鈥 or Beyonc茅鈥檚 鈥淩un the World (Girls)鈥 began playing in your mind. Because, indeed, the 29-year-old Detroit native boasts an impressive resume of both personal and professional achievements.

After moving to Atlanta post-college and working for a few years as a child-advocate paralegal and an executive assistant in the entertainment industry, Wilson came back home to Detroit in 2015 and switched gears to a career in real estate. Since then, she has become a successful real estate agent 鈥 as well as a certified life coach, a landlord, a vending machine and box truck owner, and a social media influencer. She navigates it all with her husband, Domanic, by her side, and the two now reside in Troy with their 6-month-old son.

Wilson shares insights into her daily life 鈥 from motherhood to beauty and fashion faves 鈥 with her 159,000 Instagram followers. And here, she shares a bit more.

My personal style is 鈥 Fun, girly, flirty, sophisticated. I try to keep myself together. I get my makeup done professionally four times a week, and I have my hair done 100 percent of the time.If I鈥檓 getting dressed up, I wear dresses 95 percent of the time. If I am dressed down, I鈥檓 typically in a girly kind of jogging suit.

Think pink: Pink is my favorite color; I have something pink on every day. Sometimes I鈥檓 dripping in pink from my head to my toes.

Where I shop: Swank A Posh in Southfield. I also shop at Saks [Fifth Avenue] and Nordstrom. A lot of my dresses are from Amazon and are $25 and under.

My home decorating style: Very chic. I love the bling. I love modern. I love grays. I love newer styles. In my master bathroom 鈥 which is probably my favorite place in the house 鈥 I have the clawfoot tub, the bling sink, the bling mirrors.

Every home should have 鈥 An area to relax. When you go in that room, you鈥檙e happy and you feel good. For me, it will be between my bathroom and my office. I have an all-pink office with a flower wall. It鈥檚 really feminine and girly.

My favorite date night spot: The Renaissance Center. [My husband and I] go there a lot. We鈥檒l either go to Joe Muer [Seafood] or we will sit and look at the Riverwalk.

A musical artist I love is 鈥 Beyonc茅, hands down. No matter what noise is around her, she is not going to be that person checking the blogs and clarifying everything that鈥檚 said. And that鈥檚 something that I learned to do as well.

My favorite thing about motherhood: The bonding experience. Having a child you love with the person you love 鈥 it鈥檚 just unbelievable.

On entering new chapters in life: Have grace. You鈥檙e going to make mistakes along the way. 鈥 Ask for help. Understand that if it鈥檚 something that you love and you care about, I鈥檓 sure you鈥檙e doing your absolute best.
