Recklessly authentic.
You guys, I really did buy this skirt for Jesus. But let me tell you how it happened. Easter was coming, and I wanted to do something different. Normally, I'd never buy a new outfit for Christmas or Easter, but this time, I thought, why not, if not? In case you haven't noticed, I'm not a trendy person. I wear what I want when I want. So I wasn't looking for pastel colors for Easter. I just wanted something cute, and I had an image in my head. I wanted to wear something black and Read More
When I was a child, I had many, many dolls. Too many. And they were all white. Some of the dolls came back with me from Russia, while others were purchased in Nigeria.

Sometime in 2013, I decided to incorporate my personal style into this blog. As a personal and lifestyle blogger, there technically isn't any area of life that does not fall under the "lifestyle" and "personal" niche - although I don't think that "personal" is still a niche.
