Life Lately, March Edition
Well, here we are again at that moment where we wait for Mr. Ford to stand at his podium to let us know if our doors will open next week. I must say, this is getting quite entertaining. It’s almost as if we can start incorporating lockdown lifts into a gaming pool. Imagine you could buy tickets to place bets on whether or not we were going to stay in lockdown or open again. That would be something!
I’ll be honest, I don’t even watch the news anymore. If I had a dime for every text message from somebody that asked “hey is the salon opening soon, do you know?” I think I could retire early. The waiting game is becoming a bit much for everybody but I’m definitely enjoying it. It’s the first time I’ve had so much time to myself since the age of 12 when I started working. Everybody deserves a little downtime every now and then, don’t they? What are you guys up to? As much as I love it, there is a creator in me that just can’t rest. If you want to look at one of my days it usually starts with being dragged out of bed by two girls then followed by taking Sandy out for a poop. I come back to boil some water for my lemon and apple cider vinegar drink to get my stomach ready for the day. I pack lunches, get the kids out the door and take a 20-minute walk just me and Sandy. Then I come inside the house and usually rearrange the place, do some laundry, paint a table, arrange shelves, take down shelves, repaint things, spray paint things… Shall I go on? I’ve also included some time to just watch TV and read books, which has been amazing! There is a saying, “good things come to those who wait”, guessing when our doors open, it’s going to be great!
In other news, I’m so excited to let you know that the podcast has launched. The Hot Seat by Shear Therapy is another project I’ve been working on. We originally started Shear Therapy as a docu-series shedding light on the impact on our mental health, lack of confidence and everything we struggle with in our day-to-day lives. Society puts so much pressure on us, especially as women to look or behave in a certain way and it has taken a major toll on all of us. We decided to turn these conversations into something beautiful, and creating this podcast touches on a lot of things that all of us women experience. With the three of us (myself, Denise and Danielle), we offer perspective from three different angles - as a single woman, a married woman with kids, and a divorcee. It has been so much fun recording as we touch on things that we’re still healing from personally. Please check it out and have a listen! New episodes are released every week!
Another exciting piece of news I’d love to share with you guys is I was recently featured in my little brother Newby’s music video, Baked. If you listen closely, I’m singing in the chorus. I’m so proud of him as he was the creative behind the whole project and this video is truly his baby. Here’s a little information about him and be sure to check out the video and subscribe.
The one thing I do adore about his music, call me old-fashioned, but a lot of music today does not come without cursing and talking disrespectfully about women and that is not something that he does. It’s fresh and fun. He's like the Will Smith of our day. Give it a listen and I can’t wait to see you guys soon so we can laugh and hopefully hug one another again!
