Salon Bohemia Finishing Touches

  Tomorrow is the big day! Last day at the old salon, and tomorrow i start setting up the new salon. It has been a long time coming! My father, Jared, Dan S, and Emily S have helped so0o much!! I can't imagine not having them in my life, they are amazing! My dad is a walking miracle and has been working with severe neuropathy and other health conditions... thats what is making this even more special for me.
  I Love being a DIY person... crafts and art has made this special for me. I am starting to make hair pins, feather jewelry and headbands to incorporate in the salon. Salon Bohemia will definitally have those personal touches all over it!
  Before and after pics tomorrow!!! Hope you like it as much as I do!


Ok so it took over a month for pics... but i have them!! Guess that means I have been busy in the new salon! We still have alot to do, it looks amateur but it is so amazing working from home!

23rd Birthday!

23 years old today. Just another day in my book but it sure does mean a lot to me to have family and friends that make it special for me. I had 4 birthday dinners, Salon Bohemia is underway very well, hubby and I get to go to NYC in Oct, for late B-day/ Annv. present , with Dan and Em S, not to mention the numerous txts and emails and such i got today. I do love my life, yes I complain quite a bit... but I'm so lucky, a home we purchased, 2 amazing sets of family, friends who are my family, 2 great jobs, God in our life and so much more. Makes me appreciate the little things in life.

Sharing Life

  Goodness i couldn't be happier that this day is coming to an end. Working two jobs is exhausting! I am currently in the midst of building an at home salon, Salon Bohemia, starting in Oct 1st! Which i am very excited about because the place i am now is so crazy expensive and stressful. This new adventure for me is risky but exciting! I will be doing what i love, hair, adding my own flair to the decor, selling accessories and of course being my own boss is awesome! But until then, working part time and full time and having a life is stressful!
  Jared and I are in a life group which helps me to unwind on Tuesdays. Our life group is basically several young married couples, some with new babies and some with no kids, who share their faith based life together. We have a study that we do every so often and we are currently reading " The Marriage You Have Always Wanted", which we are getting a lot out of. We discussed tonight how not only do we have to be servants to God but we have to be as well to our spouse and people in our life... this is teaching me a lot. Has me looking at life a a different perspective. It makes me see how selfish i am, and how i can change that. These couples are so encouraging, honest and open. We truly share life, no masks or fibs, no one is perfect and we don't judge, we help each other. Tonight we actually grabbed blankets and sat in a parking lot in the middle of downtown Roanoke.... which seems sketchy and loud, but at 7:0 pm it was peaceful and wonderful. In the midst of concrete, buildings, and chaos, we were sharing God and life, and the world around us seemed to fade away, and we could see the sun setting in between the buildings.

A little about myself

  Cosmetology is my career... Art is my passion. I am currently an self employed cosmetologist in a small town in the south. Although i love being self employed and , my true ambition in life is to become a full time missionary. Not only would i travel anytime any place... i have a true passion for helping people in general.

 I am constantly being "Crafty" as my mother would say.... but in a more different way than she ever was. " You're on of these modern day hippies" she always says. I definitively look at things a different way than most. If i think i can make it... or do a better job, then so be it, that's what i'm gonna do. Anyone who knows me, knows me for my "Hair Art" and feathers. My best friend Emily and I make feathered jewelry, headpieces and i install feather hair extensions. I also was an interior design major, so i'm know to have an I for decorating or all styles.

  I have been married almost 4 years to my best friend Jared. Being married is wonderful, being a young married couple isn't always the easiest, but it was the adventure of getting to where we are today that makes it worth while. I couldn't imagine living without him.
