This blog post is more of a message of gratitude. I wanted to share with you all exactly why I feel like I truly have the best job in the world. When I first joined the hair industry at 18 I chose it because I’m very creative, love the beauty industry, and love being around […]

It’s official—I have a kindergartner. This is my first year with a child in the Wake County school system. For the last 4 and a half years I’ve been inside daycare, live-in nannies, childcare, grandmas, etc. The first year sending your child to school is very different.

Even though it technically doesn’t begin for another week or so… I’m all in on Fall everything already. Fall is my absolute favorite season and as soon as September hits—even though it still feels hot af, I’m convinced it’s time for Fall fashion.

It’s officially hit that weird transitional time between NC Summer heat and our typically very short lived fall. It’s still kinda hot, it’s definitely still humid, but it’s started to get just a little cooler.
