  • Birthday Weekend Vibes

    September 27th was my birthday, and let me tell you—it was a whole vibe from start to finish! ✨

    First, big shoutout to Dede Tolder, the master colorist and stylist who’s been keeping my hair flawless for a while now. I told her, “Dede, I need a new look for my birthday—a fresh color for this new chapter and journey.” And sis did not disappoint! She trimmed it, colored it, and gave me this gorgeous fall-inspired look that matched the season perfectly. 🍂 If you’re in Stone Mountain and need a stylist for color, cuts, sew-ins, or more, definitely call her at 678-357-0480. She’s

    the truth, and I left her chair feeling brand new.

    Next stop: The Patio! I slipped into my Fashion Nova fit, felt cute (and I know I looked cute too 😏), and celebrated with family and friends. We laughed, danced, and just soaked in the good vibes all night long.

    Saturday—my actual birthday—was just as special. My daughters took me to Rocking Crab, and listen… those crabs were everything! 🦀 They showered me with gifts, and I felt so loved. Big thanks to my family and friends for spoiling me—you all made me feel amazing.

    And if that wasn’t enough, the celebration kept rolling. The following Sunday, we hit The Patio in Snellville again, and this time Slick Rick and Chubb Rock were in the building! The energy was crazy, my leopard Fashion Nova outfit was giving, and I danced the night away with my crew.

    Overall, my birthday weekend was nothing short of incredible—full of love, laughter, and memories I’ll never forget. Here’s to another year, a new chapter, and a beautiful journey ahead. 🥂🎉 Happy Birthday to me—let’s see what this chapter brings! 💛

  • New Journey

    Hello, wonderful readers!

    First off, I just want to say thank you for following my blog and joining me on this journey. I absolutely love writing and sharing my experiences with all of you. And guess what? It’s my birthday month! 🎉 For me, every year begins in September, so I’m kicking things off with a new goal that’s been on my heart for a while: traveling to all 50 states within the next five years. Knowing me, it might happen even faster, but the adventure begins now!

    Since I’m currently in Georgia, I’ll be starting here. I’ve done a lot in the 10 years I’ve lived in this beautiful state, but there are still a few gems I want to check off my bucket list. If you’re a local or have visited before, I’d love your recommendations on must-see spots, restaurants, or hidden gems I should try out. I’m also planning to snap a picture at every welcome sign I pass and maybe even collect t-shirts and postcards from each state to remember the journey!

    Would you like to join me on this adventure? I’m so excited to explore new places, dive into different cultures, uncover hidden gems, and of course, taste all the amazing food along the way. Let’s discover the world together, one state at a time!

    Stay tuned, and if you have any Georgia suggestions, drop them below!

  • Being Alone (Poetry)

    Day 4 Being Alone

    Sometimes I hate
    Being Alone
    Not having a companion
    To love and to hold

    Sometimes I love
    Being Alone
    Being independent
    And being strong

    Being Alone taught
    Me lessons and
    Brought me Blessings
    Taught me peace
    And gave me patience

    Being alone is not that bad
    But still want that other half
    But when its time it will come
    But for now
    Going to love myself
    And have some fun
