You may have noticed… extensions have become really popular. But there’s a big difference between something that has just gained a lot of popularity and become trendy, and something that is someone’s passion and life’s work. Hair extensions have been something that I have been passionate about for almost two decades. One of the aspects […]

Over the last couple of weeks I have been asking everyone the same question—to Resolution or Not to Resolution. I just assume because I am a “Resolutioner” that pretty much everyone has resolutions or new goals. What I’ve found out, however, is not everybody is into setting resolutions. So I pose this question.. for everyone […]

Last week I shared a little bit about my vacation in Jamaica, but I didn’t really go into too much detail about the actual vacation. Even though I had an amazing time and the weather was beautiful, and even though you’re in an incredible place and don’t want to complain… the experience still matters. While […]

For the last week of 2019, I took an actual break. Shocking, I know, but I chose to take a week off to really not do much of anything so I could just decompress from the whole whirlwind of a year I just had. Everything from transitioning the studio to be extension-exclusive to having a […]

This constant up and down is one of the reasons the holidays can be so exhausting […]

This year for Thanksgiving my family and I decided to do something a little different. This is the second year that my family is in a co-parenting space. Last year was the first holiday season since my kids’ dad and I split and it wasn’t the easiest. This year we have a little bit of […]

About two months ago, on a random afternoon in the salon, I had a wild hair and decided to do something pretty drastic. I finished up a little early that afternoon and was about to head out to a photoshoot when I found myself looking in the mirror feeling like I just really wanted to […]

A couple of months ago, I launched a YouTube channel called Garnish Your Growth. I’ve shared this with you before, but today I wanted to share something I’ve learned since starting the channel, and how I’m revamping it to be even more authentic. When I decided to start a YouTube, I knew I wanted to […]
