I’m official…I received my cards today!!! I’m the Creative Director-Makeup at Whip Salon in Ridgefield, CT. This is going to be an exciting chapter for me.
Working From While Living On The Lake
The best part about living by the lake is it’s so relaxing! Working from home on a beautiful day like today a girl could not ask for anything else. As I’ve gotten older I like my ME TIME, quiet time. I really get a lot of work done when I’m sitting out on the deck. I turn on some ambiance music from the Parisian scene, electric lounge of Hotel Costes since the deck has surround sound speakers out there. I work so much better when I have on music that makes me think.
I don’t want the summer to go away it’s been WONDERFUL this year.

As Ice Cube Said Today Was A Good Day
Today was a beautiful day minus the rain. Waking up to a nasty morning of rain at 6am I wasn’t feeling well. My body was so achy that it took awhile to get out of the bed. I was so worry that I was going to have another not so good health day. My day started early having to be at Sephora for 8am for a Nighttime Smokey Eye class.
Great time teaching a Sephora client, a regular client of mine how to complete her rebel eye makeup look with a bold colorful lip.
Having to much fun with Stephanie Blanco trying to make a video for the Instagram page. We had this great idea but it didn’t come out as we planned…to funny!
It’s now 3:30pm, home just collecting my thoughts while the guys are inside preparing dinner.
I purchased these beauty sunflowers yesterday while in New York.
Dinner is on
YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY

Some Comfort Food From Hoodoo BBQ
After a rough week of watching the news over useless killings I needed some comfort food to make me feel better. Still not knowing where to go in Connecticut for my New Orleans style food I asked around and Hoodoo Brown BBQ in Ridgefield came up a few times so off I went. The ambiance was very casual, the staff was friendly, the prices was good and the portions was plentiful. Of course I didn’t forget about the taste. Everything came out warm I wish the temperature was hotter with a little more seasoning. Overall I would definitely go back with both family & friends. This could be a regular stop for me and next time I’ll check out the bar.
HOODOO BBQ NACHOS
HOODOO FRIED GREEN TOMATOES
HOODOO PULLED PORK, BRISKET, SWEET POTAOTES FRIES, & COLLARD GREENS

This Is What I Love About Connecticut Sunday Mornings
It was so GORG out this morning that I had to go sit outside by the lake, wile enjoying a few glasses of champagne. It’s so quiet, so peaceful, just listening to the water relax me so much. This is one of my favorite past time, I wish I could spend more time out here but when the sun come out I have to go. Because of my lupus and the meds I burn really bad but I get my time in as much as I can…Look at this view!

Afraid Of Going Outside After Getting Lyme Disease
Many of you know I’m a tough cookie especially when that wrong button is pushed. So it’s probably crazy to hear that I’m afraid of something. Well I am, it’s a ugly little bug (tick) and deer’s. Since moving up here to Connecticut I haven’t had good experience with either of them.Today, in Connecticut the weather is gorgeous and I happen to be off and feeling good to enjoy it. So, I decided to face my fears in go outside in my yard today. I fell in love with my home because of the yard and the lake. But after me and my babies (dogs) got bitten by ticks and getting infected with Lyme disease it’s been hard to come outside during spring and summer time. Both my babies were to old to fight, we lost them both 6 months apart.
I was getting tested regularly now it’s yearly with my next test coming up next month. It’s almost out my body and I pray that next month I hear the words clean build of health from Lyme disease. I’m tough but having Lupus & Lyme disease is hard, I feel like Leonardo DiCaprio in the movie The Revenant getting my ass beat daily by that bear. I just want to have my body back in get back to normal. I have to eventually face my fears in start enjoying my yard again. I let it go by not keeping it up because I really didn’t plan on coming back out here. But I refuse to let a tick scare me off, cuz that sounds crazy, right?
