Authentic conversations about culture, motherhood, divorce, black excellence, humor, and style!
Before I went natural, my hair style was mostly permed all the time. Then I started braiding in between. Then I started using weaves in between. Then my edges went to Edge Heaven. Then I chopped most of my hair off. Then I stopped perming it. The edges are not as bad as they were, but they're not as good as they were either. Now I'm mostly in braids. Sometimes I have a weave on, but not very often. The last time I had a weave on was last year. When it comes to hair, I'm all about low Read More
I am not an expert in the department of beauty essentials or foundation discovery and/or application. This post is written based on my own experience and opinion, so take from it what you think may apply to you.

I don't know if this is a new trend or if I just started noticing it, but all I know is that everywhere I go, there are women - Black women - walking around with sleeping caps on their heads.

If I tell you how many hours I spend reading about natural hair and watching YouTube videos about natural hair, you won't believe me. There are just so many beautiful women with beautiful hair. It's ah-may-zeen! So meet actress Teyonah Parris and her hair. I don't know what it's called, so the best way I can describe it is that it's a fierce updo with fro'hawk features, and it's giving me all kinds of inspiration! When my hair is long enough for this kind of style, I'll totally go for Read More
Lately, I have been visiting the skin care aisle at Walmart way too many times. I don't know what exactly I am looking for, but I hope that when I find it, I recognize it. If not for anything, I have come to find out that visiting the skin care aisle, especially at Walmart is not friendly to your wallet. Yes, Walmart does sell for less, and that's exactly why you end up buying more. But let's focus on St. Ives. I've been reading a lot of labels, and I find myself more attracted to the natural Read More
