New Year, New Beginnings, New Story, New Hair!

Hello! 

Do you remember me?  :(

It's been almost a year since the last time I posted. While I am sad that I was away from my blog for such a long time, so much has changed for the better!

The end of 2012 was tough for me, I was struggling with some things at my job, finances, priorities, relationships, and really just felt a spirit of depression all over me. By December, I looked back on the year and was upset that I had not accomplished most of the things I said I would. I was in a bad place and often buried my problems in things that made me feel better for the moment. I told myself I couldn't continue to live as I had and needed a change. 

The best thing that has happened to me, was right after the new year! I decided to grow further into my spirituality and accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior! Ever since January, 6, 2013, my life has changed for the better! I feel a new energy and excitement for my life and future. I know that the best part of my life is to come! There have been many promises that God has given me and I believe in each and everyone of them. Immediately I saw my life turn around for the better. 

So much to catch you up on, so here's a quick recap!

Me and my hunny made it official! I am working on planning the wedding for next spring and I am so happy that I have such a loving man to spend the rest of my life with. 

In March, I was blessed with a new car that I love! 

In April, I celebrated my 26th birthday! 

AND last not but certainly not least, early this month, I graduated!

I have been working on having a good relationship with God, my hunny, my family, and my friends. God has really helped to put a balance in my life that I can truly say, I have never had. I am so grateful for all that I have and the renewal I have received in my life. 

I am excited to let you all join me in my new journey - with Christ, love and marriage, wedding planning, adulthood, health & fitness, fashion, and just about anything I plan to blab about on here. 

AND.... let's not forget my new hair journey...

 Earlier this week, I decided to start wearing my hair in its natural state...

 I've been without relaxers for a few years, but have always felt some fear in embracing my curls. Not any longer! So, What do you think?

How are you all doing? 

Any exciting life changes?

Hope you have a great weekend!

Radiant.

bright colors in a winter wonderland.

Dress - heartbreakers

Shoes - well you know....(I told you they would reappear) they were seen here and here.

Happy Monday Loves!

Hello to all new and seasoned followers! :) It is officially the last Monday before Christmas, and second to last full week of the year! Have you gotten all of your Xmas shopping out of the way? Neither have I. 

-_- 

Anywho, I am super pumped to spend time with my family and start the New Year and get down some New Year's Resolutions, that I hopefully stick with. :( 

So, How many of you are good at breaking New Year's Resolutions? 

*Blushes* *Raises hand slowly*

Like most, I say I am going to stick with it in January, and come about February 1st, I have completely forgotten what I was going to be changing. So I am asking my fellow readers for tips to stick to resolutions. What helps you follow through?

In other news, this weekend I had my first Ugly Sweater Party.. It was for all my lovely ladies and was a lot of fun as you can tell by the silly photo below.

 Overall, it was a great night. A few of us a little slumber parrrtyyy! :) 

Well, that's all I have for now! Enjoy your Monday!

Be Happy, Live Long

It’s a brand new year! Welcome, 2010! I am so optimistic about how this year is going to go! I have been slacking on outfit posts but here I am again at your service.

Holiday break was pretty good. Nice to enjoy a short break from school. I start back up next week so I am going to be busy again! Yay! I also plan on getting a new job this semester and doing some volunteer work so that I can be ‘uber’ busy (Like how I snuck that in?). I love being really busy, I might even get two jobs if I can handle it, but I’ll try not to go overboard here.
