Wash Day!

by Adelina | Nov 17, 2020 | 0 comments

This photo was taken just about 14 months in…to my journey. I was over halfway there and In the home stretch. Patience is a virtue!!!💃🏽 Wash. Set. Blow Dry. My stylist, Catherine @beautydrysalon in Brooklyn has Magic Hands ! Even though the Grombre is in full effect, and my dyed tips have washed out from Ash brown to Blorange, I am loving the silver growth coming in. I am always amazed to see the gray growth from the back of my head when I go to the salon. I never see it from this vantage point at home, and at this point, I am fully committed and I am in LOVE with it! For any ladies on the fence about choosing to go gray, you must endure this phase of two-toned hair. The other options are braids, wigs, a big chop, or bleaching it to gray professionally if you are impatient and have the money. The choice is yours, but the good news is that there are choices, and you can always go back. Me? I’m not going back! Keep the faith, Chicas!!!

Silver Lining: Adelina’s Story of Embracing Every Season with Style!

Back when I was living in Brooklyn a few years ago, I found myself in an unexpected situation that left me reflecting on the perceptions of age and vitality. As I strolled down the street behind a group of high school students, I couldn't help but notice their slower...

Sometimes we have to remind ourselves of these verses: Philippians 4:6-7
It’s easy to look around and get stressed out. Shoot, even social media can stress us out, whether we’re consuming and doom scrolling, or keeping up with content creation. Everything is moving fast and what’s new today is literally old news tomorrow, so the pressure to keep up is reel.😆 Hanging on to this verse is priceless, so we don’t have to hang onto stress.
And we can still be Fly y’all!
Did you need this reminder? Say Amen!!

For the first few years after you left us, around mid-January I would start to feel depressed, and then I remembered that you died on January 18th. Then it made sense. Time has healed the scar, but you’ve been heavy on my mind. As a teenager full of angst, I didn’t realize at the time that your “overprotectiveness“ was just care and love. As your only daughter (with four older brothers) of course you were concerned when I went out into those New York City streets. When you become a parent yourself, you suddenly get it! Praying that angels will go with your child and keep them safe. I did that too. Sometimes I think of you and I still feel your prayers over my life🙏🏽. Getting teary thinking about it. But I recognize that it was your faith that inspired me to a life of faith. I remember us dancing to this song. You loved it.
Thank you, mom. Love you always till we meet again.🙏🏽❤️

I told you all it’s not really a big dress up town, so I’ll be going to church kind of casual today. God knows our hearts.
Quoting Hebrews 4:12 today. The Word cuts deep, and this verse explains it well.
It exposes our hearts and our motives. That’s why so many run from it, not realizing that it’s actually the way to real peace.
Have a blessed week y’all!!

By the time we thought about filming the unboxing, the mattress was already doing its job y’all! We chose the Nolah Evolution Plush—and after sleeping on it, I’m really glad we did. It arrived rolled and boxed to our door, set up easily, and has genuinely improved how we sleep and how we feel when we wake up.
I need support, Dave needs cooling, and we both wanted a mattress that doesn’t quit halfway through the night. The bonus is I haven’t been waking up with sore shoulders ever since we got it!

Nolah is known for its cooling technology, pressure relief, and long-lasting durability—and after sleeping on it, I get why. Plus, you get a 120-night sleep trial, a limited lifetime warranty, and flexible payment options.

Throwback to the 70s- my favorite era with my bestie @tanyafelder57 .
Looking back, we were grown! Or at least thought we were.😂 We were students at the High School of Art & Design in NYC and we had a blast running those city streets. We were always together until boys came into the picture. ( @tanyafelder57 remember Fuzz and Whaley?😂) Love you girl!!!

My favorite thing was taking the F train to the Village, and shopping on West 8th Street. There was a store called Azuma that I loved to frequent. I’d walk down to St. Marks in the East Village where Punk Rock was definitely in the air. It was wonderful just being a short train ride from Brooklyn to the city. Truly the good ole days, and great memories.
For these photos, I think we took a bus ride with my mom to Virginia. I think it was her snapping these shots.

They say everything old is new again—and this kitchen remodel before and after proves it. Nothing was broken. We just wanted better. More intentional. More us.
Dave’s been talking about giving the kitchen a facelift for years, so we finally said, alright, let’s do it right. We removed cabinets, repainted, upgraded the flow, and brought in new appliances—yes, from @bestbuy. Don’t sleep on Best Buy. That electronics-only reputation is outdated.
A smart kitchen refresh doesn’t have to be a full teardown. Sometimes new color, better function, and thoughtful upgrades are enough to make the whole space feel brand new. Floating shelves are next, and Part 2 is coming.
These baby boomers are not trying to be cold, confused, or outdated. We’re inside. Comfortable. And very happy with our Café appliances.
