Back to the Scene of the Crime… and Apparently, a Hovinok Sales Call. 😂🔥

I went back to the scene of the crime. 😂

Sephora.

But I wasn’t there to shop. I was there to collect my birthday gift because, yes, Sephora Insiders get birthday gifts. 🎁

And because I had just turned 61, I made sure to look out for her.

You remember her… the 32-year-old beauty advisor who, back in July, looked at me and said:

“You know, at our age…”

Well, there she was behind the counter.

We looked at each other.

That knowing look.

No words were necessary.

I’m sure we were both thinking:

“Yep. It’s me.” 😂

I told her I was there for my birthday gift and that I had just turned 61.

We laughed.

Because by now, we had firmly established that we are NOT age mates. 😂

I collected my gift and thought that was the end of the story.

But then she looked at my top and said:

“By the way, your top is FIRE! 🔥”

Oh?

THIS top? 😏

Well, naturally, I had to tell her that I designed and made it myself.

Hovinok.

I shared the Instagram link, too. 😂

So, let me get this straight:

I went to Sephora for a birthday gift…

I got a comedy sequel…

And left with a little Hovinok promotion.

Killed a few birds with one stone. 😂

Honestly, my Sephora visits are becoming Tales of the Unexpected. 😂

You really never know what you’re going to walk in for… or what you’re going to walk out with.

And apparently, sometimes the beauty advisor comes with a side of marketing. 😂🔥

Super thankful for another amazing year around the sun. 🎂✨

Honestly, it’s felt like God has just been playing with me lately — like “guess what’s next?” — and I keep getting snuggled into one surprise after another. This year has been full of them, and I’m here for every single one.

And speaking of surprises… I’m currently a top contender in the Maxim Cover Girl competition! 🗳️ Did not see that one coming, but here we are.

So this year, all I want for my birthday is your vote. Just one tap, once a day — it takes 10 seconds and it would mean the world to me. Let’s wrap this year up in a nice little package with a neat bow. 🎁❣️

Link below — vote for your girl! 👇

Juneteenth: Remembering. Honoring. Becoming.

Today, I pause to reflect on the resilience of those who came before us—the dreamers, builders, freedom seekers, and trailblazers whose courage paved roads they themselves may never have walked.

Juneteenth reminds us that freedom is not merely a moment in history; it is a continuing journey. It is a testament to how far we have come as a people, while also calling us to keep moving forward with purpose, dignity, and hope.

I am grateful for the sacrifices that opened doors, for the progress that has been made, and for the generations who continue to rise, create, lead, and inspire.

As we honor the past, may we also nurture hope for tomorrow—a future where our stories, talents, and contributions continue to shape a brighter world for those who follow.

Today, I celebrate freedom, resilience, culture, and possibility.

HOVINOK
Wear your story beautifully.

That feeling when you step back, look at what you made, and just… exhale. 😌

This Ankara ensemble was a whole mood from cut to creation — every stitch felt like it knew exactly where it was going. The blue base with that pink/orange floral hem? Pure magic. And topping it off with this tulle collar moment because why not let the drama live a little louder.

When the vision matches the finished piece this perfectly, you don’t just feel proud — you feel seen by your own work. This is why I sew. This is the whole point. 🧵💙
