Yes, I did it. I got sisterlocks. Honestly, some days I can’t believe it myself, but on Aug 29, 2022, after 30 hours and 4 days, 300 locks were officially complete. I’m 4.5 months in and I have no regrets about my decision. Does that mean I’ve loved my hair every day? No. I actually really didn’t like it for a good minute and questioned my choice a few times. I knew that the look I wanted to achieve takes about a good 1.5 to 2 years, so I am in it for the long haul. Plus, the cost of this hairstyle is a true investment, so we are going to ride it out! One thing that gets me through the days of ..read more

This past Saturday night I experienced my first Mother Son Dance. It seems like I’ve been waiting his whole life for an experience like this. My son is apart of Gentlemen’s Quest, and they held their first Queen’s Ball which was SO Memorable for me for a few reasons: I’ve never been to a mother son dance (while the hubs & Bailee have been to countless father/daughter events) My son was excited to take me and had so many hidden surprises.

At first I kept it to myself. I went about of month and decided to share it with my husband. January 2nd is my birthday, so it’s always the start of “My New Year!” I told him that year 2021 was going to be the year of “Me”. He initially looked at me and shook his head slowly in agreement, not 100% knowing what the year of “Me” was, but understood he somehow was about to give me his full support.  I explained that at first, I wasn’t going to say anything. This was a journey I wanted to take by myself. I didn’t even tell my best friend. However, I decided to tell him because he was going to ..read more
