These Burberry Fur lined Ankle boots are worth lusting over. I almost climaxed when I saw these & yes I said climax.
Perfect for a snowy or rainy day because who says you shouldn't look Fab in bad weather.
Retails for $1095 (yikes)

An Apple A day...

My thoughts often keep me up @ nights. It has always been this way but it seems to be getting worse the older I get. What usually happens is I go over what happened that day and try to reason with myself why or why not, what if I and if I would've know this then. It's a vicious cycle that does nothing positive for me but cause regrets and anxiety...it has to stop.
I've tried to live life in the present but find that its easier said than done. As we come to the end of the year my goal is to truly live in the moment. No thinking about yesterday or tomorrow but to genuinely soak up each second, minute, hour of life!

Yesterday the co-founder of Apple, passed away after a long battle with cancer. Just last week while on youtube I saw a Stanford University graduation speech he gave a few years ago and his message was clear...Chase your dreams but first you must love what u do and use your failures as stepping stones to success. This speech really struck a nerve in me. It made me realize I must stop dwelling on my failures and keep pushing forward regardless of how many times I may fall. I'm not sure why I am deeply affected by his passing but I know me watching that speech less than a week before he died was no coincidence, he has forever changed my outlook towards failing and for that I am grateful.
Thank You Steve Jobs!

Gotta LOVE milestones

My 5month old has hit another milestone this week. Its amazing to watch babies grow and learn. He now has 2 teeth on the bottom and began sitting alone as of this week! Mama is so proud.

When I started this blog it was to track my process of 'going natural' and other aspects of my life. After much time away and sporadic posts I feel the need to recommit to blogging like i used to. This time however I will not be focusing on hair, as a matter of fact I won't be having a main focus at all. I found i was limiting myself but saying this is a hair blog. I am a multi-dimensional individual with LOTS of interests and hobbies so why should my blog be limited to a certain topic. If you are following me for the purpose of hair let me apologize to you now....I'm not saying I'll never talk hair but there are soooo many natural hair blogs it is becoming mundane in a sense. Don't get me wrong I support the movement and appreciate that women are waking up and trying to accept their natural hair texture, so if you need hair advice check my blogroll for some fabulous natural ladies.


With that being said.... My name is Nicole, I am a mom, a wife, a daughter, a sister and a friend. I love life and all it has to offer. I believe in God and put him above all others. I am a beauty addict and aspiring makeup artist. I can't sing but I do. I crochet. I love hard and expect the same in return. I'm a dreamer and a thinker. I love to read, sing and dance. I like to cook but I LOVE to bake. I am afraid to let people close to me but I'm working on it. I've been hurt many times by those close to me but I forgive them anyway. I believe we all are good but we do bad things. I cannot go a day with music, it is my therapy. I have champagne taste but I'm on a beer budget. I am constantly seeking mental stimulation from those around me. I can go on for days with this but I won't. Until next time *smooches

Have you ever...

Felt like no one understands you...like you can't say how you feel...like you are all alone even when someone is there...like life is a test and you're flunking out...like BS only happens to you...like you can't breathe...

Am I the only one?!?
