I wish for this

I’d just run into a lovely man I went to high school with and his family. His ADORABLE family, beautiful wife, adorable daughter dotting a muddy buddy, even the fluffy dog. I was driving home when an inspirational quote popped into my brain, just as a pain of jealously was about to enter my heart.


How many of these do we read on a weekly basis these days? But this one I FELT. If I was to let myself be envious of this guy, whom I remember to be a solid human being, then I couldn’t be happy for him. 

This whole revelation was still on my mind when I came home to a sleeping Jonathan, and decided to make him coffee. As I was pouring the water in, the time flashed at me. 11:11am. A friend of mine always encouraged me to make a wish then. But when I thought of what I wanted to wish for, it was this. Weekend day morning snuggles, coffee and tea with Jon, my person. My #sexysidehustle to look forward to later on. 



My dad used to get so excited for drinking coffee with his wife in bed on weekends, giddy like a school girl. I never understood it then, but I do now. 

I’m not where I thought I’d be in my life by now, and the struggles were rough, but it lead to this. And this is pretty freaking awesome.

Monat, my hair revolution

So my sister started selling these hair products right? So I was going to support her either way, and if I’m honest, I didn’t care whether they worked or not. I don’t do much with my hair typically, other then my yearly hair cut. I also went almost a year without using proper hair products at all, I used vinegar and baking soda, and as my friend pointed out, I’ve been bald twice before so I had very little to lose. 



What I didn’t realize, was how much I had to gain. I get excited about washing my hair, and styling it. I actually had a hard time finding a picture of me I liked with my hair curly before, most of my pictures had me with straight hair. My hair is naturally curly, but I just didn’t embrace my curls like I do now. 


My hair just fits my personality better now, it’s spunky and a little bit wild, just like me. I’ve had my hair cut twice recently, and I enjoy investing time and energy into my hair. I hadn’t intended for a hair revolution in my life, I just wanted to support my sister in this business she was starting, but I’m so glad I did. It truthfully made a huge difference in my hair life, and I wish it on anyone looking to shake things up, but especially if you don’t.
