This month...

I deliberated with myself hoping to come up with ways to enhance my present. How to possibly chase after my passions in music, art, and fashion and maintain my career. Ways to protect my sons innocence all the while being able to properly prepare him for a competitive future. So far I haven't found the answers but instead discovered a peace in knowing that my curiosity means I'm headed in the right direction.

In OTHER news...

A few months ago, I got some free tickets from Regal Cinema. My Mummie and I went to see Iron Man 3 which is by FAR the best movie in the history of all Marvel movies (I DARE you to beg to differ, lol). Tony Stark is more relatable,  hilarious and spunkier than ever. There's a transparency in this part of the trilogy that allows you to feel the moral and enjoy the action and humor in the midst.

MomMe Father's Day Fun Fact!

Some folks may not know...

My very own Zac is not only the cutest but has a name with dope meaning.

7 Months pregnant, I was reading the Bible frustrated and unsure of a name for my future Swag Prince.

I knew it had to be cool.

Had to be "hire worthy".

Had to have great meaning.

I came across the book of Zechariah. 

The story took me into a world where I couldn't stop reading.

The name "Zechariah" means "God remembers".

At that moment I decided the name Zachary Sean Clarke was the money maker!

"Zac" during play time.

"Zachary Sean" to get his attention

and "Zechariah" when I mean business.

His middle name is also cool dedication to my DAD Sean Clarke.

It only made sense to honor my fathers passing in the life of my son.

Zac was born the date before my Dads passing

Creepy, huh? lol

Father's Day Memoir

I remember walking home with my Dad in the middle of the winter...

My sister on the left hand as I held tightly onto the right.

My gloveless hands slid along the porch of an apartment and I grabbed the biggest pile of snow my hand could hold. Even with my fingers frozen, the idea of letting go of such beautiful snow helped to fight the feeling and discomfort. After learning that the snow had disappeared, I cried until I understood that the snow had only changed its state and would sometime soon reappear just as I had left it.

The toughest feeling in coming to terms with my Dads passing is whether or not to hold on to the beauty of his memory even if its painful or to let go and hope to have the place fulfilled in time.

I've been lucky to share a few wonderful Fathers in the past few years...

Great Figures who've shown lots of love to their own children,

and had a little love to spare!

New Hair! New Year!

For the past 4 years I've worn the SAME EXACT hair style!

As I breezed through my Facebook pictures and bored myself from the lackluster side swept bangs, I realized it was time for a true change.

My hair has been natural for quite some time meaning:

-NO relaxer

-NO texturizer

-NO perms
With that, I decided to join the kinky-curly crew and embrace my naturally beautiful hair.

 For the past week, I've been trying the Bantu Knots and manipulating my natural curl patterns to see where it takes me. The entire has been quite interesting but I thank GOD everyday that my Mum is a hairstylist... Lord KNOWS the outcomes may have been truly TRAGIC, lol

Wish me luck as I figure out how this works.

I need products to try out...

ALL recommendations will be greatly appreciated :)

enjoy your weekend!!
