I did not have a “Birth Plan”. I had a birth idea that I expressed to my Doctors.

The faster I learned that, the more at peace I was with whatever happened.
I prayed for you for years. In my conversations with God I went back and forth from hopeful to doubtful as I hit my 30’s. I always knew I wanted to be a mother but I didn’t expect it to happen when it did. Lets just say God has a great sense of humor!

Growing up I used to love watching my Granny, Mom, and Aunt Tracey primp and priss. I guess it was in my DNA to become a skin care junkie!

A year ago I went down the rabbit hole of the benefits of turmeric. After learning what a Turmeric Latte was and giving it a try, it quickly became a part of my daily breakfast routine.
