As 2013 comes to a close, I feel tremendously blessed. When I started this blog three years ago, I did so not knowing much about blogging as a career. I just thought it would be fun to have a platform to share my passion for beauty with others. In a short time, God blessed me to continue to be a full time stay at home Mom, start a meetup group which has grown to an amazing community of women and experience the joy of turning what I love into a business. Your comments, likes and feedback have really inspired me to do more to impact the lives of women everywhere. In everything that I do, I hope that you can sense how much I believe in celebrating life, love and the pursuit of nappyness:) Today’s post is all about just that! Celebrating memorable milestones in my journey! I hope that it inspires you to dream big and go for yours! Happy New Year Naturalistas!
