*Quarantine Birthday*

This year was a once in a lifetime birthday party. Never in a million years would I have thought I would have a quarantine birthday. However, now that I reflex on it I am truly blessed. Not only to see another year but to have this rare memory. Trust me this era will be written about in history books. And if I ever have kids I will have some stories for days to tell them. Welp, I plan to enjoy this last year of my early 30s. Cheers to life and my beautiful unique self! I ordered tacos from a local Mexican restaurant paired with chips and dip. My drink of choice was margaritas. I love my gifts...I even got some toilet tissue🤣. Times are hard out here with this quarantine. My mom got me a strawberry crunch cake! It was so yummy. I wouldn’t trade this celebration for the world.

Celebrating 2019 was Magical💫

Naturally Me...Loving My Roots!

~True Queen~

This is so totally me. I don't think like everyone else. I would rather educate my mind with books. Instead of going out all the time buying expensive items. All that stuff will get old eventually anyway. I choose to feed into the unmaterialic side of life. There is nothing like a soulful woman. She is above all the true Queen on her throne.

~Selfie~

My serious look lol

~Sephora Make Up Class~

I took a class at Sephora today on lips and cheeks. I learned a bit about contouring as well. This class was super fun and I will be taking more. I don't wear much make up but I love playing in it. Hope you guys enjoy the looks. 

~Spring Time Make-up~

Got my make-up done at MAC yesterday. I honestly can say I wish I could put that make-up artist in my back pocket he-he! Spring is all about bright colors that just pop. Oh yeah...my b-day just passed and I'm 27 now!!! Hopeful you'll are having a fabulous spring so far!!

~Whoever Said Black Ladies Couldn't Get Along...Lied~

One of the best experiences of my life happened last month. As a contestant in the 2013 Miss Black Ohio Pageant. I met new friends, had several eye opening experiences, and learned that persistence is everything! It took a lot of money, work, and time, but I can say I made it to the end. I didn't win but I had tons of fun. I might do it all over again next year too.

Big thanks to the previous Miss Black Ohio Kayla Hardimon for her encouragement. I will never forget her telling me some advice that I will keep with me my whole life. Also, congratulations to Ruby Thomas the new 2013 Miss Black Ohio USA. It was my joy competing with you...and thanks for curling my hair the day of the show!

Whoever said Black women could not get along....we proved them wrong. Keep striving high ladies, we all will change the world someday!

I wish I took more pictures, but my phone was dead half the time. There was a total of nine ladies all together. So I do not have pictures of some of the ladies... however I still love them all the same.

I hope you'll enjoy the pictures...and now since my schedule is a bit free. I'm gonna try to blog more. I have a few new poems, will be posting them soon too.

~Who is Beautiful?~

The answer is we all are beautiful! Sometimes we don't see the beauty in things around us, inside us, and through us. I thank God for allowing me to show my beauty inside and out!!! Love you all and have a Blessed day :)

~Candy Cane Nails~

I love changing my nails and the holidays gives me an excuse to do so. My nickname isn't candy cane for nothing! If you want to learn how to create this look click here.

~Cheers to the Bun~

It's is something about a bun that is so classic, chic, and cute. I don't think it will ever go out of style.
