Two nights before my surgery for a torn rotator cu

Two nights before my surgery for a torn rotator cuff in my right shoulder, I got all dressed up for this photoshoot. It was bittersweet as I had my talons painted, set & styled my hair, and applied my lashes. 💅🏼
.
I was happy to see that I could still do a full beat without looking like a mess! But it was the last time I’ll be able to do that in months. 💄
.
My excuse for dressing up was showing multiple ways to tie this beautiful scarf from @repealclubnyc (repealclub.com). He will be displaying the framed finished product at his booth at the @jazzagelawnparty! Definitely check his beautiful clothes out and support a Black-owned business. ♥️
.
Now that I’ve had the surgery and I’ve been recovering for almost a week, I will admit that recovery has been a very rocky road. My doctor and I are still figuring out pain management, so I’ve been in some of the worst pain of my life. Yesterday I did seem to turn a corner though, so I’m hoping for smoother sailing going forward. 🥴
.
Thank you so much for all of the love and support I’ve felt over the past week! It really means a lot to me and every kind word touches me so deeply. 🥰
.
ALSO, happy Pride!!! I’m still figuring out exactly where on the rainbow I land, but I can say that I’m Queer, Bisexual, and Demisexual. I’m also still a Christian and my relationship with God is stronger than ever before. 🌈
.
Just thought I would throw that out there and show some love for my LGBTQIA+ community. ❤️🧡💛💖💜💙💚

When they say to wear something comfy and loose to

When they say to wear something comfy and loose to surgery, this is what I imagine. Did I do it right? 😄

I have shoulder surgery today since I apparently have a torn rotator cuff and labral tears in my shoulder from a spill I took back in January. I’ve never had surgery before, so I’m super nervous. But it should apparently be pretty straight-forward and I trust my doctor. 🩺

I’d appreciate any prayers, good vibes, warm thoughts that you can spare this morning. ♥️

I stumbled across the most fabulous vintage shop i

I stumbled across the most fabulous vintage shop in @bryantparknyc’s @urbanspacenyc area, @gizmo_vintage_honey’s Lulu Vintage Clothing! I got two blouses, a skirt, and a dress! I was just running errands and wasn’t planning on doing any shopping today, but I couldn’t pass up this opportunity! The prices are ✨amazing✨ and there is a great selection of pieces. 😍
.
While I was there, @itscoreywoods showed up in all of his glory, fresh off the plane from Beverly Hills! These beautiful people have so much love spilling over that it splashed onto me and warmed my heart. 🥰
.
While I was shopping, there was a surprise downpour! So we all ended up huddling in the shop, along with other wonderful customers and waited it out together. 😄

I got my second Pfizer shot today!! I can’t wait

I got my second Pfizer shot today!! I can’t wait to reach full immunity SO soon! Say a little prayer for me as I hunker down in anticipation of side effects this weekend. It’s totally worth it though. ♥️
.
Next stop, @staples to laminate a copy of my card for free. Then @krispykreme!! 🤤🍩

Happy Easter!! 💜🧡💛💚💖
.
I got all dressed up in my Sunday best for the occasion. My dress is @betseyjohnson 1940s repro and I made my bonnet myself this morning! 💐
.
This morning, I went to @forefrontbk church online and got to see myself singing with the worship team twice! Then I got on a Zoom call with @vavavavoon and friends while I got ready (camera off until at least my hair was done). Then I went to a lovely, socially distanced picnic in Astoria Park! Now, I’m on my way to see some live jazz with friends outdoors. 🎶🎵
.
It’s been a wonderful Easter so far, and I’m so looking forward to things carefully opening back up again! ♥️

This year has been a rough one for me so far. I injured my shoulder in January and haven’t been able to do hair or makeup since then. There have been a number of other struggles making this one of my least favorite years so far. 😒
.
But I was blessed to have the opportunity to get my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine today, and I can feel that this is the beginning of things turning around for me. 😊
.
I’m looking forward to seeing more friends and seeing life start the transition to some semblance of “normal” as more of us can get vaccinated!

Earlier this month, I did @nicolemgordon’s hair and makeup and she ended up on the cover of the @nytimes! She was featured in print and online for a story on how to dress for outdoor dining. She absolutely stole the show. 💖
.
We were inspired by Gwen Stefani and the 1960s for her high ponytail and classic cat eye look. We even deviated from her usual red lips to a pretty pink from the @janiebryant @esteelauder Mad Men collection! 💄

Mark at @salonvansickel has done it again! I can finally say that I’ve grown out my @maiseltv baby bangs. We incorporated them into this bob and cut an undercut in the back! It’s taken out weight and will make it way easier to curl. ♥️
.
This is the shortest my hair has ever been and I absolutely love it. 🥰
