My Weekend Vacation in Texas

This weekend, I went to Dallas to visit my other bff, Amberly. I was greatly in need for a get away. Amberly and I had a great time and I met some really cool people. We also met up with Roshawna, a friend from Fisk.

The city of Dallas is very cool with many things to do. This weekend I went to Carson's and learned how to Swing Dance-Chicago style. My partners said for the first time I did a great job. As long as I was counting, I was able to keep up. Once I stopped counting, that was a different story.

The next day we went out to this eatery, and I cannot remember the name. I was not that hungry so I had the best Strawberry Shortcake. It was soooooooooooo good. Afterwards, we went to this Open Mic Set. The place had a nice atmosphere and the band was on point. They played every song you can imagine.

Now the people that got up to perform~that's a different story. For one performer, Amberly and I had to leave the room. We could not take it any more.

Anyway, I had a great time and it was a needed vacation. I enjoyed myself and now waiting for my next trip.

Girls just want to have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Amberly for a great time and it was worth it. I was able to kick back, relax, and have fun. I must admit, I could have stayed longer :) I had to get back to work and make people beautiful.

Here are some pictures. More will be posted soon.

The Wedding of Ken Brown & Dee Williams ~Mr. & Mrs. Ken Brown

The wedding of Ken and Dee was beautiful. I tried to control my tears, but it was no good. Dee was the prettiest bride and just glowed the entire time. Ken could not stop looking at her nor keep his hands off her :).

Their theme was "The One He Kept for Me, Until it was Time."
Colors: Sage Green & Black. Accent Colors: Pink and Green
The bride wore a beautiful mermaid fitting dress that hugged her body every right way. BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

They make the cutest couple and I pray many blessings on their union. I cannot wait to post pics so you can see for yourself! Their wedding pictures are going to be GLAMorous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. & Mrs. Brown, congrats on everything and keep God first! Love you all and proud of you two.

New Mama Looking GREAT

This past week, I had the best time pampering my cousin, Lavette Rodgers. Lavette just had a baby, Braylon, earlier this year. Braylon is the cutest baby boy in the world. He has the most beautiful green eyes and the biggest smile. He knows how to make the world smile.

Lavette is a stay at home mother as of now, and I wanted to do something special just for her. Growing up, Lavette was my cousin/partner in crime. We would steal purses of our aunts and cousins and play jokes on everybody. Lavette is that cousin you can go months without talking to, but when you talk it's like you talk everyday. If you ever need a good laugh, Lavette will never disappoint you. Lavette got a facial pampering bag full of goodies and other samples. After seeing her 2 minute makeover, Lavette felt like Sasha Fierce and danced while looking in the mirror. Gotta love it!

Lavette, congrats on the baby and continue to be FABULOUS!!!

Because of the God in me...I can't help who I am!

In the month of July, I was blessed with the opportunity to speak to the youth during TN4th Jurisdiction State AIM meeting.

The youth were very excited and they were a blessing to me. The theme for the entire week was "In Pursuit of Divine Favor." I decided to share with them the lives of Josepha and Esther. Both of those figures symbolized favor. When there is favor on your life, you will go through your storms, but they are just working together for your good and setting you up for your blessing.

We had an awesome time and I am grateful for the opportunity!

Changed to be Changed

This past Friday, I had the honor of speaking with the young ladies at New Nonconnah Church in Memphis, TN. The Youth Department was having a Back to School Rally/Sleepover, and I was asked to do a "girl's talk" with the ladies.

The theme for the rally was "Changed to be Changed." I explained to the young ladies once there is a change in your lifestyle and who you represent, the world should also see a change in your appearance. The girl's talk started out with Personal Hygiene 101, grooming tips, and what to wear and what not to wear. The girls were able to ask questions, give feedback, and enjoy themselves.

When you know who you are, who you represent, and where you are going in life, you let the world know when you step out the front door looking good from head to toe. You should want people to say, "I don't know who she is, but she is somebody."

We ended the class with every girl giving me an Affirmation saying who they are. I did my affirmation this week and it encouraged me to hold my head up high and keep moving forward. I know what it did for me and I wanted it to do the same for the girls. You should have seen the girls stand up with confidence speaking greatness.

It encouraged me and I encourage everyone to have a Self Affirmation.

I will share with you a little bit of my affirmation:

• I am Blessed!!
• I am a Child of the King!!
• I am highly favored!!
• I am M.A.D.E.~Making A Difference Everywhere I go every single day of my life!!!!!
