I love the idea Jay had to feature someone else on Tuesdays. As Jimmy, my sisters, and my mom often remind me, but I have yet to agree with, it’s not always about me.
I can’t be sure I’ll take this to heart every day, but for this one Tuesday I will try.
My tribute today goes to….dum dum da dum….
My aunt Rochelle. (She’s the hottie on the far right.)
I love and adore all my aunts, but I’m choosing Rochelle today because she has just begun her blog. I love that. She’s so on the up and up.
I remember when I was little I got to fly on an airplane all by myself to come visit her in California. As soon as I stepped foot out of the airport, at the wise and ripe old age of 10 (ish) I knew I was home. She took me to the beach, we went shopping, I spent time with my cousin Breean… I had cinnamon sugar toast for the first time in my life and I loved it. We even went to Super Cuts so Breean could get one of those cool 80’s haircuts where you have bangs, with the sides shaved and it’s long in the back. A mullet, I think they were called? (Sorry to out you girl!) I was so jealous. I asked Rochelle if I could have that haircut too. She made me call my mom first to ask, but my mom held firm and said no way. (Thanks Mom…no offense Breean. Love ya!)
Anyway, Rochelle has since moved out of California but I followed through with my childhood dreams and moved down here. All thanks to her and the most amazing trip I ever took.
Rochelle hasn’t had the easiest road, but she is still the sweetest and most loving person you could ever meet. And the way she loves her kids is such an inspiration.
Did I mention that she’s hip too? She works at Ultra and she’s always in the know about the latest and greatest skincare, makeup, hair care, and nail polish.
She’s amazing for all these reasons and more. And that’s why I choose her. She deserves a day thats all about her.
So, go over and say hi. Make her feel loved.

What a sweet tribute. And I would be thanking my mom, too, for nixing the idea of the mullet. You were one lucky girl to dodge that little piece of would-be future blackmail. Your aunt sounds great – on my way to go show her some comment love!

This was awesome, Summer…She has such a fantastic smile, too!
I was going to tell you to tell her that, but then I realized I have to go find her blog!! Ill tell her myself…
Thanks SO much for being a part of this inaugural Tuesday’s Tribute!!
Jay
PS – I am looking into your Mac question…dont know much about them, but I know you can normally run PC software on them if you have the right “interface”…I’ll try ot get you a better answer! I have someone I can ask…
If you have time…I have a little something for you on my blog 🙂

Hey girl~
I think I’ll just have to stick to commenting on all posts at once since I can never keep up with you!!! 🙂
Anyhow, the “cartwheel/bananas” post was too funny (ah, men…), and I love your cute finds with that ring and those necklaces!!!
This “tribute tues” idea is super sweet, too- I’m sure your aunt is very touched.
