Hello World!!

Hey ya’ll! Have you ever been in a place in you life and thought to yourself, “I never thought I would be here…”? Well, that’s exactly how I felt about a year and a half ago. I had just turned 30 and things weren’t really going as ‘planned’. I was unemployed and frustrated with myself and some of the decisions I’d made…thinking I was smarter than the average bear.  I had always been told I was different, smart, had great potential, and I was doing well for myself…but it didn’t feel like it in that moment!  But even in the midst of all that, I was still surrounded by amazing people who were continually encouraging me and pushing me through this storm in my life and  suggested that I should start a blog. I told each of them individually that no one would care about what I have to say and they all violently disagreed with me. One night, after dinner with my friend Shirelle, she gave me  a new perspective on the idea of talking about all the things I love…beauty, fashion, and being a wife and mom, but also the real shit that comes along with being thirty. Figuring out your career (or lack thereof), the challenges of being a child of God in the 21st century, being a young wife and mom, and finding and keeping genuine friends that you can count on in. So with all that being said, welcome to Thirty Now What!

So with my 31st birthday coming in a few weeks I figured now is the time to get this thing going! I’m just a girl trying to figure this thing called 30 out and I’m asking you to come along for the ride. We will talk about all the things mentioned above and more. So again welcome and stay tuned!
