My 26th Birthday!

I decided to treat myself by getting a silk press and trim. Last time I straightened my hair was December of 2022, so my ends were not giving. I missed having my hair straight, as I used to get it done all throughout middle and high school, until I decided to stop putting heat in my hair. So this was a treat! 

Later on, I went to a restaurant called House 157 with the family. The vibes were nice as afro beats were playing in the background and the lighting was blueish- purple. It was a more formal restaurant as people were dressed in their Sunday best. I ordered steak with mashed potatoes, greens, and a side of mac and cheese. For appetizers, we got empanadas, flat bread, and jerk wings. The food was 7/10. 

We then bought the infamous Carvel ice cream cake, and sang birthday to me and my mom (her birthday is 3 days after mine so we sometimes celebrate together).

Funny story: my sister unknowingly bought the prank candles, so when blowing out the candles, the fire kept lighting back up. It went on for a good 1-2 minutes, so me and my mom were blowing candles like crazy to the point where my brother was like “I’m not eating that,” LOL!!

Very blessed to have made it to 26. 25 was a year of extreme pruning and growth which I will share at a later time. But I will say, 26 feels good. I feel renewed, refined, and ready for whatever God has in store. Praying that this year brings clarity, vision, growth, rich experiences, and abundant blessings. To God be the glory.
