Friday...Back At It !

Back to work today guys! It's Friday and guess what tomorrow is...YEP! My ME DAY! It's my birthdayyyy!! Boy, 29 never looked so good! #FeelingMyself Lol

I have the sweetest co-workers EVER! Look at this cuteness my team lead brought in today. Little dark chocolate shortbread snacks from Trader Joes 😋

Well, The city is back up and running... still some ice out there and cars are still stranded but I hope everyone is safe! Smooches!

Snowed In...AGAIN

Happened in 2011 & here we are again, same time of year and same situation but WORST! The government didn't take preparations on the road for the snow that we KNEW we were going to have, so yet again. We're snowed in. 

The thing that's upsetting me is that the Atlanta Mayor and Governor of GA are playing the blame game instead of just saying they effed up again. They waited until the last minute (after the snow had already fallen) to take action, by that time traffic was ridiculous and the roads had already iced... Ugh, oh well!

Might as well make the best of it 💁😁❄️✨

Really?

I   CANNOT   DEALLLLLL   WITH   ATLANTA  !!!

Why me Jesus?

I have warm blood...I am from MIAMI, FLORIDA! This is the coldest weather I've EVER been in! Single Digits though? I 'm soooo happy I work inside lol, I feel sorry for the people that have outside jobs.

Just felt I should share.

This is a record breaker of my 28 years of life.

Speaking of life..my birthday's coming up! I'm expecting gifts people...lol.

Smooches & Toodles!

Xoxo, Noey.

New Hair, New Journey!

First Of All: 

HAPPY NEW YEAR DARLINGS! 

Last we spoke, I updated you all on my hair...the braids! (September 2013) 

Need a reminder on the look? 

So, I wanted a new look but I also wanted to give my hair a break for a while...I took the braids out in December and I've made the decision to go natural: taking the steps to embrace the natural texture of my hair and instead of doing the big "chop," I'm deciding to just transition and grow my perm out.

Here are some recent pics of me and my hair after the braids.

I'm not fully transitioned yet, of course! This isn't going to be an easy/quick process. 

So far, it's been about 6 months since I've had a perm.

I know a lot of people see this "natural" thing as being a new fad. Well, my personal reason for deciding to go natural is that even though I take really good care of my hair - my hair has been this same length for over a year now. I'm thinking that maybe all of the chemicals we use with perms are possibly stunting the growth of my hair...therefore, I want to try this natural journey and see what comes of it. Also, I'm going to be taking Biotin Vitamins, which specifically help with the growth of your hair. 

Exciting! Nerve wrecking though because I don't even know if I even HAVE a curl pattern! LOL...I've always had a perm for as long as I can remember so I think I tricked myself into thinking that I have naturally straight hair...lol. Who knows, I think everyone is supposed to have some sort of natural curl pattern.
I guess we'll see, now won't we?! :) 

If any of you have suggestions or tips for me, pleaseee feel free to let me know!
Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed!

Xoxo, Noey.
