What goes around comes around, does it?
So I’ve been thinking a lot about Karma lately. I am a big believer in it! I think of it like a boomerang, you launch out good and the boomerang eventually brings good back to you. Same thing with the bad. Or is it?! Wikipedia’s definition of Karma is: “The spiritual principle of cause and effect where intent and actions of an individual influence the future of that individual. Good intent and good deed contribute to good karma and future happiness, while bad intent and bad deed contribute to bad karma and future suffering” Ok, I know it seems pretty far fetched that if we do good deeds consistently we’re…

Made my day!
After just posting my new Dear Diary entry I got this amazingly wonderful message from a woman who will be kept anonymous! I asked if I could share what she wrote to me to show that we’re all in this together and what the power of words, kindness and support can do…. “I hope you don’t mind but I shared your latest blog on my Facebook page! I don’t post much in Facebook and rarely anything personal but your latest blog really hit home for me! I have been bullied by the same girls for many years now and it really caused some major issues in my life. Luckily my…

Putting the scissors down…
I haven’t blogged in a while, lots of new stuff going on in my life but that’s a whole different blog to be written. Today is a good day to write after being on hiatus because this day marks the first day in almost 13 years that I will no longer be a hair stylist. Pretty bittersweet!! Bitter in the ways that I will no longer pamper people on a daily basis. Make them feel happy and relaxed. Make them feel beautiful! See the smiles on clients faces when they leave my chair. Daily, I have met new people, heard new stories. Incredible ones like the mothers who stand by…

Breakthrough!
Breakthrough… She sat in her house dress. She loved dresses. Hair disheveled as always, writing glasses on. She thought of the past, not so much experiences, but lessons she has learned. Evaluating who she’s been the last while, feeling somber. Not at where her life was at this moment, she was happy on all counts of that matter, but more so who she had been lately. She always thought of herself as strong, never letting life’s occurrences change who she was and for the past 10 years she never did. It had turned opposite lately. What a violation of all she represented, she thought. She refused to let that happen…

Where is the love??
Where is the love??? Been a very sad few weeks in the world!! My thoughts and prayers go out to all the citizens and tourists affected by all the tragic events in England!! Made me think a lot about how each person truly does affect this earth. Pondering where is the love right now?! (queue in Black Eyed Peas “Where is the love” for the background) Me and my hippie mantras all promote peace & love, power to the people, girl power, make peace not war…. if only everyone in this world had the same views! We sadly will never change the world into being a perfect place. Free from…

Mama, I love you!
Mama, I love you…. Happy Mothers day!! (Queue Spice Girls song “Mama, I love you” for the background) Hope all you wonderful mothers are waking up to breakfast in bed, macaroni pictures, flowers, lunch dates and dad actually being up with the kids first! Today is the day for what I think are truly the most important and incredible people! In my most astonished tone of voice.. “women have the ability to carry a human inside them for 9 months!!!” Now we know that i’m not the typical girly girl when it comes to the traditional, wedding, babies and such and such. Just thinking of how my body was made…

April 30th 2017
Nostalgia… It’s been a long time since I’ve written a post… way too long! Lots of things have happened in my life since my last entry, some tough and some great! The tough times made me think of all the things that I want in my life. Things i want to change about myself that will make me a better person and really be the person I always strive to be! The great thing is I got a cutie little puppy. A rottweiler named Otis 🙂 I’ve always wanted a dog, my mother never wanted animals “pooping in her house”. Been a lot more work than I anticipated and if…

Ode to women
Girl power! On Wednesday March 8th, we celebrated International Women’s Day. #WCW (women crush wednesday) so appropriate! Every year on that date we show our appreciation for strong, independent, beautiful females! I have always been such an admirer of powerful women! Ground breakers, teachers, advocates, girl bosses, women with a voice… Maya Angelou, Oprah Winfrey, Rosa Parks, Marilyn Monroe, Michelle Obama, Anna Wintour (although she scares the crap out of me lol) Ellen DeGeneres, just to name a few! Women are incredible creatures!! Now I can say i’m not a fan of the whole “women are better than men” thing… I don’t think anyone is better than anyone! Males have…

Retail Therapy
Retail therapy… Saying that I have a shopping addiction is an understatement… Shopping really is my cardio! It started at a very young age. Rustling through my moms clothes and dressing up was my version of playtime!! She always had such good style, both of my parents did and still do. Which is absolutely where I get the love for fashion from. From my dads stylish afro to my mom getting married in a purple suit, they definitely influenced me. My mom always had big chunky necklaces and tons of shoes that i’d put my tiny feet into and walk around the house head to toe in moms gear. Mom…

Dear best friend…
Dear best friend… Truly my number one best friends are my parents and always will be. They have been the best parents this hippie wild child could ask for!! My advice givers, travel partners, teachers, amazing role models in life and love! We’ve of course had our ups and downs like most parent/offspring relationships but no matter what I can always count on them. They will forever be my number one loves! My apologies for the craziness I’ve put you through parents, hasn’t been TOO bad tho right?! Having a sibling tho is a very different bond, you can tell them things that you wouldn’t want to chat about with…
