I love my family but then it comes a time when you want to hang out with the girlies! I love having girl time and enjoying my friends as we laugh,have some drinks and talk about whatever our hearts desire. There is nothing like having great crazy friends around! It’s fun to get together and share ideas,recipes, men stories (good or bad) and more! These pics remind me of all those fab times with my special girlies! Cherish your connection with your girlfriends! xoxo
Happy Birthday to me!
I want to first say, I’m pooped out and thats why it took me so long to write this post. Usually I’m on it but Pink Suga(my alter ego) was tired lol. The day started out sunny in Atlanta. I woke up with the sun beaming down on me, I knew it was going to be a pinktacular day!
Son with his morning birthday song
I woke up to my son standing by my bed with a stuffed toy that started singing, It’s your birthday, party like its your birthday! He then proceeded to do a lil dance for me, my son can boogy(he get it from his mama lol).My daughter made me a home made birthday card and had her whole class sign it,so cute of her.
After that I got up and the cell phone started going off with text messages from twitter and facebook. I then got on the computer and saw all the birthday shout outs via email, twitter and facebook, I felt loved!
My husband,mom, sister, mother in law,my best friend Heather from Cleveland and Lisa Wu Hartwell, all called to wish me a happy birthday! I was a happy camper!
Stephanie giving me the beatdown lol
Later my personal hairstylist Darnayle came over to do my hair and my makeup artist Stephanie Dawn. They made me look so pretty. The look that I was going for was a pinupstyle look from the 50′s. I love vintage things and wanted to do something different.
After the glam squad left, my kids were home and my daughter helped me pick out a dress. I was going to wear a black mermaid style dress but my daughter said,no mommy wear this one. She is my little helper and stylist lol.

He then belted out this happy birthday song that I have never heard before! He was a small statured man, but had a very big voice! The whole Four Seasons hotel got quiet and listened to his beautiful voice! He was also wearing pink, what a great birthday gift! Everyone clapped for him and I teared up immediately, such a blessing!

Wendy and I
Hey guys I recently hosted a grand opening party at Plush Boutique. I knew that Wendy’s fav color was purple, so I went out on a hunt for the perfect dress. Ofcourse I wanted to wear pink but it was her special day lol.

You guys know that I love vintage shopping and I do frequent Goodwills too. Where I live we have some awesome thrift stores! I stopped into the Goodwill in Buford,Ga and found this purple dress! Guess how much I paid for this dress? Yes folks, $4.25!
My dress was $4.25!
Betsey Johnson Kalani’s
By me hosting soo many events and going to different parties, I would be bankrupt, so I have to shop smart and be as frugal as possible lol. The necklace was courtesy of PlushBoutique and my shoes were by Betsey Johnson ofcourse. I don’t skimp on my shoes and purses. Everything else in between, you just never know.

Not everything I wear is from the thrift store but most are lol. I have a great tailor name Gloria who owns Gloria’s Alteration that has a shop in downtown Lawrenceville. This dress was actually really long and she shortened it for me and I added the black crinoline underneath to make it more poofier.
Wendy and I posed up lol
You guys know I love my poof lol. I added a patent leather belt and that was it! You should try these stores you might find some great things, I know I do! Happy Wednesday!
