I DID IT 💅🏼✨

After months of feeling like I’d never get there, I can proudly say I’ve officially passed my State Board Nail Tech exam!

I finished my hours back in May 2023, but with my classic procrastination habits, I kept putting off taking the exams. I almost gave up a few times (I'm definitely the queen of leaving things incomplete), but I finally pushed through.

✨Theory, took me 3 tries, but guess what? I PASSED!

✨ Practical, First try, and I nailed it!

This is just the beginning though, I’m not stopping here! 💅🏽💜 Big things ahead, and I’m ready for them! Thank you to everyone who supported me along the way — BIG S/o to my partner for always supporting me 💕

I did it 💔✂️
Sometimes life happens, and your hair tells the story. I’ve always been an advocate for healthy hair care, but somewhere along the way, I stopped showing my natural hair the love it deserved. No routines, no treatments just neglect. So, I did what had to be done: the big chop. It’s bittersweet,

I DID IT, Y’ALL!! 🚙✨ My old car was giving me way too many maintenance problems, and honestly, it just wasn’t big enough for everything I needed—especially with my huge dog riding around with me! So I made the move and got my 2025 Hyundai Palisade XRT, and I couldn’t be more proud of myself! 🙌🏽

Did they think we wouldn’t notice??
Okay, tell me I’m not crazy… but does the new Alani Nu Strawberry Sunrise taste exactly like the Mimosa? Because I swear, it’s giving the same vibes. Not that I’m complaining because I was loving the Mimosa, so this feels like a major win. But now I need to know… have you tried it yet? Do you think
