Who is this?

It looks like my last post was roughly three years ago and the post before that was super old as well. What can I say? Life and the horrible state of our nation has me busy and demotivated all at once. I’m hesitant to post and share about anything because honestly, I am just tired and oftentimes, disappointed with human beings. I’d like to think that those with opinions that are different from mine would be open to hearing, rather than just listening. Anyhow, we may get to that in a later post. For now, here is a quick overview of life in the last three years. My family and I have a YouTube channel that I am also, very inconsistent at uploading to, however, there is a ton of content. Go ahead and subscribe!

I changed my hair a few times, and by a few, I mean more than three.

Here we have a super lame facial expression with red-brown color. Who is this? Why is she looking at me like this?

After this, I found out I was pregnant and I am the worst pregnant person in the world who refuses to do my hair or wear any makeup because it is awful and I am always tired. As you can see, I have the color in my hair in this picture.

Viola, my hair is black and I look just as happy as I did in the previous picture.

About three months after I had Helena, I was going back to work, time to change the hair again. Insert the word that I can never pronounce, balayage (aka, hand painted, expensive, highlights). Oh and I was convinced to color my eyebrows that looks exactly the same to me, just $20 more expensive then my regular eyebrow color, which was free, thank you genetics.

Beautiful! Lovely! Stunning! That is, before the infamous, post-baby shed began. No photos or evidence of that was documented.

MORE BALAYAGE!!

I balayage’d my hair so hard that I ended up with an ombre and fried hair! I was done with it and by done, I mean, well, just look at the next picture.

I hacked that hair off into a lob (apologies for the picture quality). Well, not me, a trained, over $100 a pop, professional.

After that, i figured that I didn’t ‘lob’ hard enough but couldn’t afford an expensive lob so I went to a cheaper ‘lobber’.

This lob was a bit too dramatic for my life, the back was pretty short. So what did I do? The unthinkable! I said forget this, cut it all off! Thankfully, the shop that I frequent serves wine in the evening and I sure needed it. My hair has never been this short.

Do I like it? Sometimes. I like how quickly I can dry it and style it. Sometimes it will not all fit into a ponytail and that is annoying. I’m not sure how I feel about it. I’ve never had hair this short and I need it to ‘grow’ on me. I am growing it back out from this length and will not be cutting it for at least one year. My stylist thinks we will ‘trim’ it in September but she doesn’t know me that well.

Other life things that happened, Oh yea, the baby. 🙂 She is closer to two than a baby but her she is! She LOVES to put my shirts on like they are dresses.

We got a new puppy! Joshua named him Kobe and he is… well, a puppy.

He is great with the kids and they love him. I love him too, I just wish he was 5 years older and a bit more chill.

Joshua is still the funniest and most energetic kid that I know. He loves with his entire heart and plays with every ounce of energy he has.

We saw a couple of movies this year, “Murder on the Orient Express” and “Black Panther”. Can I just say, Black Panther was AMAZING!!!!!

My husband is still, and will always be, very attractive.

I broke my shoe as soon as I got to work one morning, not that you care but, hey that’s part of my life too.

There you have it. I don’t know why I decided that my hair changes would be the highlight of the last few years but hey, it is the one thing that I consistently do for myself. Maybe I will post regularly again, maybe I won’t. We will just have to see what happens. I have received notification of new followers and want you to know that I see you and appreciate you!

My Favorite Friday of all! So far…maybe.

Friday has arrived and as usual, it is looking pretty spectacular from my view. I have had a pretty great week as far as getting things accomplished is concerned. Today is my BFF, Kara’s birthday so of course it is the best day ever!!! Time to hit you with some favorites. This video was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time! Will Ferrell just gets me, you know?

I mean, everyone knows how much I love Beyoncé and Will Ferrell; combine the two and I am living the life! Next up, I loved these two blog posts like no one’s business.

Kristen’s post was something that I needed to read this week. It really helped me realize that I need to go ahead and push forward with some of the things I have kept in for awhile out of fear.

Then, through a link-up I found this post by Asia and I knew that I just had to push down those negative voices in my head and get stuff done!

So, yesterday on my blog I made this announcement about a challenge group on Facebook my friend and I have starting on Monday and some T-shirts and Tanks that we designed which are my new favorite!

Last but not least, these are the funniest/best things I found on Instagram this week. We have to start this one off with my boo John Legend and that one guy, Kanye.

They are trying to kill the word ‘fleek’, I’m not sure how I feel about this.

I do this all the time when I am supposed to be watching TV or going to bed.

We were all talking about this during the superbowl! Just to be anywhere on the field during the half-time performance.
