It's so nice to meet you in lemon8 🍋

Hey everyone! So thrilled you're here to get to know me, Sharnese, a little better. My initial post on Lemon8 was just a tiny peek, but I'm truly excited to dive deeper into sharing my world and connecting with you all. As I mentioned, I'm on a journey of self-discovery and becoming more intentional with my life, and this platform feels like the perfect space to document and share that growth. You might have seen from my pictures that I wear many hats! As an RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) and a Masters Student, my days are certainly full, but these roles have taught me so much about grit, learning, and finding balance. I’m eager to share some of my personal strategies for managing a busy schedule, staying motivated during studies, and even some insights into self-care that have helped me navigate demanding periods. Whether it's quick tips for focused work sessions or simple ways to de-stress, I hope my experiences can offer some practical takeaways for you. Beyond my professional and academic life, my heart belongs to my amazing family: my husband Taj, and our two wonderful children, Nene and Tj. They are truly my world, and you'll definitely see glimpses of our adventures here – from fun family outings (maybe even to a beautiful vineyard like the one in my intro picture!) to our everyday routines. I'm looking forward to sharing our parenting wins and challenges, relationship insights with Taj, and just the general chaos and joy of family life. And let's talk about my passions! If you love fashion, makeup, lifestyle, and exploring new foodie spots, you’ve come to the right place. I’m all about accessible style – finding chic looks that work for a busy mom, whether it’s rocking a fabulous leopard print top or finding the perfect midi skirt for a mirror selfie moment. Expect honest reviews of makeup products that actually work for my routine, and lifestyle hacks that make life a little smoother. As a self-proclaimed foodie, I’ll also be sharing my favorite recipes, restaurant finds, and tips for making meal times fun and nutritious for the whole family. Embracing vulnerability is a big theme for me right now. I believe in showing up authentically, and that means sharing not just the highlights, but also the real, relatable moments of learning and growing. I want this to be a space where we can connect on a genuine level, share our experiences, and uplift each other. So, let’s embark on this #Lemon8Diary journey together. What are you most curious to see from me, Sharnese, first?
