Birthday: Part 2

Hey!! So here are a few pictures of my ending celebration for my birthday. I invited my friends and family out to brunch at a restaurant called M Street Bar & Grill. I must say I enjoyed myself. The food was very tasty and the endless mimosa was a lovely treat!

My Birthday: Part 1

Hey! I'm back with a few pictures I was able to snap while on the go. My birthday kicked off with a small "Happy Birthday!" at my boyfriend house. It was cute and thoughtful. 


Soooo in case you didn't notice. I switched up my hair for the summer. Despite popular belief short hair is actually very hard to maintain and even harder during the summer months. So I thought I would take a tip from my past looks and go blonde again but with a twist. Below is the result. 

I will be doing a review on this hair and the company...and trust me it won't be nice. 
                       Recently I've been saying how I'm in great need of a professional massage, so my boyfriend took me to get just that. We went to a local massage polar where I did a full body for an 1h 1/2 .  It was amazing and everything I needed after a long stressful year of being 23. (lol)
                                         
                                        I am wearing:
Dress | Free People
Bag | Louis Vitton
                    Shoes | Fab Find from Marshalls

We then finished up by going to eat one of my favorite types of food...Mexican! Where I indulged in great food and multiple drinks ;)

Stay turned for  My Birthday: part 2 & 3!!!

It's My BIRTHDAY!!!







Today is my day of birth. I am officially 24. I'm not sure what the day will bring but I must say I feel kinda old. But I'm glad I've grown up and learned a lot in this past 24 years of my life. I'm excited to see what else the day will bring. I hoping that life will get a little easier. But that may be wishful thinking lol.

Anyway...I will be back later with more picture from todays adventures!

Get Connected: 50th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Act



 Yesterday marked the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act. So I took the time to really reflect on what a major achievement it is. 50 years ago, African Americans weren't allowed to drink out of the same water fountain, eat at certain dinners, or sit at the front of a bus! But because of so many strong willed individuals who put their life on the line, I am here today..able to drink, eat, and sit where I please. I am truly grateful for the amazing acts of courage from both African Americans and Whites who fought together to end the ignorance of segregation and discrimination.

Although my hertiage history isn't pretty, it is filled with amazing stories of growth and triumph. And I only hope that my generation doesn't run to far away from the understanding of our communities struggle; but learns from it. That way together all Americans are protected and provided the equality we are all entitled to.

Life Liberty and Happiness.
