My sweet little fur babies, Misa (right) & Tiger. All too often I come across people that say they "hate" cats and it's usually for some silly reason like, "They're so evil/mean!", even though they've had no contact with a cat! 😤 Cats can have a mean steak just like dogs can, but just like dogs, they are one of the most lovable creatures! Just come meet these two and you'll see that all they want to do is cuddle with you. 💛 🐈😻 #Misa #Tiger #InternationalCatDay #InstaCat #Furbabies #AnimalLover #KittyCuddles #BrotherSisterCats #CatsOfInstagram #MisaCatTalkingCat #TigerCatScaredyCat

They call me curly top! So the upper left pic is when I big chopped into a tapered TWA. I still wasn't satisfied with the length of my hair and wanted to go shorter. So on a whim I hit up a local barbershop and got it faded! Lol, not planning to actually wear my hair in a high top fade, I juiced my curls up with a Shea Moisture leave-in conditioner & olive oil Eco-Styler gel. The other 3 pics are my finished look. I've said it once before, "new 'do, new attitude!" Shout out to Exclusive Cuttz!! #NaturalHair #BigChop #Faded #SidePart #Confidence #CurlsPoppin #HazelEyes #Melanin

When South Florida weather let's my natural hair be great, I fall in love with my length & texture all over again!! 😍😍 Been rocking it since '09. (I've been toying with big chopping again and earring it short because of the humidity here. 💇) "Mikelle" and I have a love/hate relationship sometimes, lol. 🙆💁 #NaturalHair #NaturalHairSaturdays #Naturalista #BraidOut #FeelingPretty #SouthFlorida #GoodHairWeather #NaturallyShesDope #Peacock #Chucks

You know what just really made our upcoming wedding even more official? Obtaining our marriage license!!! This past week of finalizing wedding details has been exhausting, but getting our license to marry made it all so worth it. The experience of signing that document TOGETHER was both exciting and humbling. I'm so very thankful to God. #GibsonLoveBirds #BrideToBe #GroomToBe #BlackLove #Us #Feb20 #8MoreDays 👰💜💑 (at Broward County Courthouse)
