Hey y'all. I hope that everyone is having a great day where ever you are reading this. This is a beautiful fall day and it was a perfect day to write and share something that is close to me and something I would pass on to my daughters.

Lá Shona Fhéile Pádraig!

Lá Shona Fhéile Pádraig!

In English that means Happy St. Patrick's Day!! Today is the where the Irish and non-Irish alike celebrate Ireland's patron saint: Patrick. Paddy's Day started as a religious holiday to celebrating with festivals, parades, drinking, and more... I went to a local parade and sported my green; but green was never the colour of this holiday?!?

I just wanted to say have a safe and fun day. Drink up on Jameson and Guinness, eat the food, sing a few tunes with your mates and try not to do anything stupid please. This Irish lass is dressed up and having a grand old time celebrating :p

Luck of the Irish!

It is March and that means a holiday is right around the corner: St. Patrick's Day is coming y'all. The Guinness will be flowing and the green will be flying around and this Irish Princess will be all decked out in Green!

I take Paddy's Day seriously since I can pick out something Irish themed and my makeup changes from years to year! I will either paint my nails either green or black but both colours will appear in my makeup. As the parade gets closer please check my Instagram for what I am doing and then a post on Tuesday 3/17 for what I am actually doing on Paddy's Day!!


love Shannon-

Lá Shona Fhéile Pádraig!!!
March 17th brings a smile to this face of mine. I am proud to be represent all of the nationalities that I am but St. Paddy's holds a special place in my heart.
Being a girl that was raised in a multi-racial family, I am on the light skinned side being that my father is white and my mother is black. Growing up in the NY tri-state, I have seen many things. But on holiday out of the year has always been my favourite besides my birthday(even though I bitch about my birthday every year. next year is the big 2-1).  I get to learn many new things about the Irish and be proud of the rich history.

My Paddy's Day was fun with work and singin' and dancin' to Irish tunes. I did go to a parade over the weekend. A post with all the details recounting my weekend will come soon.

But I wanted to post this to wish everyone a happy and safe St. Paddy's and enjoy!!!
