Yesterday was all about quality time. We kicked it off with a family brunch–





the newest addition!-


Have you seen that Geico commercial with the little piggy? Boogie was ‘weee weee weee’ing’ all the way down the sidewalk!

gifted Shirt- Romwe





Spring Breakers I presume…

Boog was terrified of all the Snooki impersonators… there’s one on the left in this pic. The place was swarming with ’em!

Finally, we hit the mall for some retail therapy.


That was some pretty dope day 2 hair, no? To preserve my twist-out and prevent shrinkage I revisited an old routine-
Without disturbing the curl pattern or finger combing, I grabbed chunks of hair and created 6 or 7 chunky twists before tying on my bonnet. The next morning, I released, fluffed and went about my business. I find this better for retaining definition on my shrinky twist-out… when my hair is stretched/longer, the pineapple is my best bet.
Today is my uncle’s big day. I’ll be checking back in with tons of pictures!
How do you preserve your wet set twist-outs versus the ones you do on dry hair?
Your hair turned out great! I like the leggings a lot, I think it's time I finally get a pair!
Your grandmother is gorgeous!
I make 3 small pineaplles at night to protect my twistouts asnd braidouts. Thanks for the tip though, I may try this. Your family is beautiful :0)
Picture at the mall with Ashely = major hair swag! Handsome extended family you've got Nikki. Wonderful to see you supporting your uncle's achievements.
Yes, I am not the only one! I never learned to ride a bike either and I have 2 uncles younger than me! Gia is getting so big!
I can't ride a bike either Nikki! I love the pictures of you and your family. Your hair looks really good!
I twist my hair up like that every night, same exact way. I've been doing that for a year now. It's beautiful that Gia is surrounded by such love and examples of upstanding people. I love Ashley's hair color!
I've got 2 aunts that are younger than me and one my age! You're not the only "hood" one!
Nik, what products did you use initially?
Grandma looks young! Your family is too cute! Congratulations to Uncle Chocolate!
Grandparents having child(ren) AFTER their child(ren) have kids….#interesting
The the tan boots on the young lady on the scooter!
LOL at your Uncle Baby! He's a cutie though. Your family is beautiful and Boogie is getting too big!
Cute!
THISSS! YES! You're too fierce for words. Those leggings are everything and I've decided that they'll be my March splurge!
Shame on you Nikki for not knowing how to ride a bike! *says the woman who can't ride one either* I'm going to make sure my kids know how though. You look lovely as usual!
Your grandfather is fine (sorry!), I see where your mom and uncle get their looks. Their skin is absolutely beautiful.
That first picture of Gia is priceless! She looks like she's about to get into trouble. Girl, where did your baby go?!
Everyone is just beautiful :)great pics
Loving these pics Miss Nikki, keep them coming please! I can't get enough of my cyber niece!
You are so my friend in my head! Your style is impeccable but what's really funny is that you can't ride a bike. I thought I was the only person in the entire world! Big hugs from Seattle !
Nikki where did you get those sunglasses??
Work beaux! You look great!
Also, where did you get the leggings? I can't find them.
Beautiful Black family
CN, the shape of your hair is nice, I really think the new cut flatters you.
That shirt is so different, I love it! You look like a model!
Your hair looks great. The outfit is cute and suits you well. Love the family photos. Baby Gia is such a big girl, just adorable. Okay, so I preserve my wet twist out by grabbing large patches of hair and doing a type of messy bantu knot.

Very cute!
I pineapple or just go to sleep. I don't have time to do much else.
Grandaddy is handsome!
PCola! That's my home too Nikki!
Shoot, Uncle Baby is fine! Yes to chocolate!!! Love Ashley's color 🙂
yes Uncle Baby is fine! dark chocolate is good for you! 🙂
SSNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Your hair and those sunglasses…too cute!!
Thanks for sharing your family with us. That baby is TOO cute. Your hair is gorg. To preserve a dry or wet styled twist out, I do exactly what you did. The chunky twists at night give me at least 4 days with the same twist out. I can't wait until my hair is longer, and the pineapple is an option. Can't wait to try it!
You're hair looks great! I'm learning that I'm not the only one that doesn't know how to ride a bike…
Wow, I can't believe people take the time to come all the way to the comment section to hate like that. anon 5:59pm get a life! Nikki I don't know how you do it.
Great-grandma (GG) doesn't look a day over 50. Truly, that "black don't crack." lol
Beautiful pictures Nik!
That new baby is too cute and very precious!! Her cheeks are totally luscious!!!!
I love Ashley's hair! Also my Aunt and Uncle are only a couple years older than me so we played with each other when we were little.
to get 3-4 day hair what i do is flip my hair up& over and put the bonnet on, in the morning i pull the hair down and hit with the blow dryer at the roots and its back to normal..
i dunno if that's against the rules but it works for ..
your mother's mother — your grandmother –looks so young! good black really don't crack. 🙂
OMG!!! Nik, I thought I was the sole occupant of adults who can't ride bikes island. So glad there's another!!! Woot Woot
Nikki you look fierce! I love those leggings! Have fun in my home state!
Ohhh your hair looks gorgeous! And your sister hair is beautiful too. Once I sleep on a great twist out its DONE 🙁
Omg @ you never learning to ride a bike. I can teach you! ha ha ha!! I swear I rode my bike everyday after school until i was about 16 years old… I ride now for exercise and every now and then i show off my bike riding skills by pedalling with no hands 🙂
Your daughters so cute!
Cute!!!!!
You have a lovely family Nikki! I love your leggings!
That ice cream comment was too funny lol.
Pensacola I read you blog. I happy to hear that you're a home town girl. Hope you enjoyed your home coming.
Nikki, hope you enjoyed the old Cap'n Fun Beach Club. I've seen some of the best free concerts there; a three hour Blues Traveler concert, 80's weekend with Joan Jett, the Outfield, The Knack and Tommy Tutone.
Nikki, I so didn't know that you were from Pensacola. That's so were I am from. Oh and you were on the beach after the McGuire's 5K St.Patty day run and so that is why there so many people with the green fits. Oh and I just love Ashley in Aldo 🙂
Your grandmother looks so young! (Great genes) :0)
