If you’ve been following me for a long time, you know how much I loved my sweet MawMaw. I knew this day would come, but it just rips my heart out to write this. You were the Matriach of our family, the wittiest person I’ve ever met, & one of the smartest. A true Mississippi woman who loved getting your hair done every Friday, always had gospel music playing, credited @avoninsider skincare for your flawless skin, & made the best food you could ever imagine. My love language is chicken & dumplings because of you. Garfield & hummingbirds surrounded the walls & shelves of your home, & I knew inside those walls, I was safe. You helped mom raise my brother & I, taught me to shell peas, to be kind, sew & crochet… the list goes on & boy am I glad I was taking notes.
I count myself fortunate that I got as much time with you as I did. There aren’t many people that are my age who get to know their grandparents the way I did. You got to see me live my dreams, have babies, & model for JcPenney, a real highlight for you lol I remember when you visited me in LA, it was the first time you had been on a plane outside of the south. When you realized I didn’t have a crock pot or proper set of knives, you were appalled & marched me down to Target (again appalled there wasn’t a Walmart close to us) & bought them for me.
You’re the last grandparent I’m saying goodbye to, and it’s by far the hardest. Losing someone to dementia is by far one of the cruelest goodbyes, & I really thought I mourned you years ago, but grief is an ocean, not a wave. I will carry you with me always because after all, I’m a product of you & your teachings. I will always love you.
If y’all see someone in a Jeep blasting @vincegillofficial in Los Angeles today, it was definitely me. Give your grandparents a hug for me today.
Getting ready for Cupid! 💘 Breaking down my weekly @OLAPLEX hair care routine⤵️
1️⃣ N°.3 Hair Perfector once a week (or every other week, as needed!)
Leave on for at least 3 – 10 minutes, I do 10!
2️⃣ N°.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo
focusing on the scalp and working through to ends. Super hydrating!
3️⃣ N°.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner
Work through evenly. Leave on for 3 minutes. I massage my scalp during this as well!
4️⃣ OLAPLEX N°.7 Bonding Oil
Apply to damp hair before styling & for maximum shine and softness, apply a drop or two again to dry hair when you’re done styling. It tames fly aways/frizz & is a heat protectant too!

I get SO many questions about how I keep my hair so healthy & shiny, & it’s simple: I’ve been a BOND girl for years! 💁🏻♀️ OLAPLEX Nº.7 Bonding Oil has been a staple in my hair care routine for so long, because it’s a wonderful heat protectant, but also gives my hair the shine & frizz control it’s known for! Forever an @olaplex girlie 💅🏻 #olaplex

Y’all’s nephew is all grown up! This weekend we celebrated Rylee’s 18th birthday and it was so beautiful watching him walk into adulthood surrounded by so much love. He is kind, brilliant, funny, compassionate, brave and the best parts of myself and his father. He collects vinyl (just added Black Sabbath to the collection thanks to @jlbeaverton), he’s the best big brother, loves to learn and is setting out to be a veterinarian. Oh, and he’s absolutely viscous at Uno. I wrote in his birthday card what an honor it was to grow up with him, and I meant every word. It all flew by so quickly, too quickly. Happy Birthday to my sweet young man, I’m grateful to be your mom! #happybirthday #18thbirthday #momsofinstagram Los Angeles, California
