I can’t believe that it’s the cusp of 2015. Seriously, where did the year go? It feels like only last week I was doing the countdown with my family in Atlanta with my folks. Yet a whole year has gone past and we’re about to do it again, just in a much colder locale, no less fun though! I thank God for this year. 2014 has been very good to me and I’m so grateful to the Lord for His numerous blessings. There have been some spectacular highs, some very painful lows but here I am, at the end of the year and I’m just thankful.
Here’s my year in review:
- I TURNED 30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! I’m still in shock. To celebrate the milestone year, I commemorated the occasion numerous times and on an international scale – in Korea, Holland and twice in the UK!
Actually, my family and friends threw me a surprise birthday party on 23 December because none of my family were around for any of the other birthday celebrations or my actual birthday in July. What an amazing way to cap the year off and just before Christmas too.
Surprise birthday party last week – amazing!
Every time I look at him, my heart is just full. I love him so much. There are no words to describe just how special he is.
- Lagos Fashion & Design Week – what an incredible experience. Amazing!
- I survived my first attempt at camping – there is God! Ha!
Some highlights in Graceland as well:
- I pushed aside my hair insecurities and managed to go a whole year extension-free. And I loved it!
- I did my first perm rod set on my natural hair
- Grace got straightened courtesy of the Huetiful Nanosmoothing Treatment
- I discovered Korean beauty regimes and my face has not looked back since!
TRAVEL highlights for Grace and I include:
- Getting down to some super cool jazz in Rotterdam and skirting the authorities in Amsterdam!
Of course, a recap would not be complete without a mention of Sunday best highlights:
