My Month in Photos & Summer Goals

Heyyylo blossoms! It's been a long time since I did a photos post so I wanted to do one of those today. A lot has happened for me in the month of May, in between changing jobs, booking flights across the sea to go back home, and my husband's birthday.

Attending a Jennyfer re-opening event at the Mall of the Emirates to cover social media for the event. This was part of my old job. Not too shabby!

Squishy new summer weight yarns from Dubai Knits in merino silk blends for knitting projects. I am in love!

Wearing my new favorite summer lippie - Kate for Rimmel No. 109. I also stumbled upon a hair routine I like here . Success!

My new love are Lush bath bombs. So needed during the work week. <3

My voluminous curls from my latest tutorial on DIY Sea Salt Spray and other tips. Happy with the results but will keep reaching higher. @@@;-)

Touring the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world.

Hubs smiling during his birthday tour of the Burj Khalifa. We brunched at the bottom as well which was pretty delicious.

My natural hair appreciation blog reached 1000 followers which made me overjoyed! You can hashtag your photos with #curlsandblossoms for a chance to be featured. @:-)

And that about wraps things up! I'm really enjoying the new job I've switched into and I leave today to visit home for a week. This will be a really welcome vacation since I've been going nonstop since Christmas. 

Now that May is finishing up, I have a few goals in mind for the month of June:

1. Blog and post YouTube videos more often. I'll aim for one video a week and 3 blog posts this month.

2. Stay more active even though it's sweltering outside. Go to the pool, beach, or gym at least 3 times a week.

3. Try to avoid gaining the Dubai stone, by ordering take out less. Cook 2 times a week (not including weekends).

4. Go to more events and new restaurants in Dubai even though as stated it's hot enough to fry eggs on the sidewalks.  Try 3 new restaurants this month.

That's everything! Baby steps for me! How has your month gone? Leave me a comment below. 

Wishing everyone a wonderful start to your summer. Here's to fruit, sunshine, and colorful clothes. ✿✿✿

My Week in Photos 03.29.14 - 04.05.14

Hello blossoms! Here are some photos from the beginning of April. How is it Spring already?? This week I visited my boyfriend's family in another area of North Carolina and got my hair cut. I also did the normal college classes grind, and then went to my Senior spring college formal. The formal was hosted by my eating house, which is kind of like a sorority but not really. 

My new filming set up and decorations

Soooo in love with this Steve Madden bag I got off Poshmark.com for spring. <3

Visiting my boyfriend's family and all the dogwoods were in bloom.

I chopped off all my hair!!

I got the cut done at Scott Musgrave Hair Artistry in Cary, NC.

Back at school I snapped this photo on my college campus, but didn't notice the bee and almost got killed. lol

My homemade fried rice. Yums!

All my girlfriends and I at our Senior spring college formal 

Me and the BF <3

 Overall, this was a really awesome week. I got to see lots of fun people and I love my new hair! Thanks for reading along!

My Week in Photos 2.15.13 - 2.23.13

Hey lovelies! Here's another week of photos for Februrary 15th-23rd!

I had a lot of fun making a "hair science" video on hair porosity last weekend.

My girlfriends and I went into the city for a girls night last weekend.

On Wednesday I had a job interview, and asked you guys what I should wear. (I went with the leftmost outfit.) And I got the job! I'm not quite ready to announce what I'll be doing next year, but stay tuned...

A really yummy orange, raspberry, strawberry smoothie. Smoothies make me feel so healthy and energized!

Since my boyfriend was out of town, Jessie and I had a blast together at a college semi formal. We took a lot of selfies... 

Doing what I love <3 filming!

The finished flexirod tutorial results!

Another selfie! 

All in all this was a bit of a crazy week with lots of partying, job interviews, and homework on top of it all! I'm trying to make the most of my last semester of college, and I think I'm accomplishing that. Thanks for reading blog curlies! 

Wishing you a good hair day,

Sarah @:-)

My Week in Photos / 01.26.14 - 02.02.14

Hey guys! I've been meaning to bring a new series onto the blog for awhile where I share my photos of the week with you. Just a nice little recap! I'm in my third? Or fourth week of classes now. :)

My flexi rod set on dry hair came out nicely. And you've gotta love a red lip. 

Pampering my hair with Nubian Heritage products and my eyes with these cool Leaders mask things.

Michael and I went into Charlotte for the day to do job search stuff and go shopping. <3

It's snowed where I live which is rare!

My new robe from Amazon.💜

Nails! Essie going incognito for the green and an identifiable bronze by wet n wild.

Lots of studying of Arabic vocabulary. :P

My makeup for my new empties video. Red lips + winged eyeliner.

My new glasses! Something new...

Some Cinnapie on Super Bowl Sunday. Mmm!

Whew! What a packed week, but it was lots of fun. Hope everyone's weeks are off to a good start.

Wishing you a good hair day,

Sarah @:-)
