I decided to change up the 'do again. No surprise there. As I mentioned to a friend who remarked about the merry-go-round of styles we as Black women are happy to explore, hair is one of the few things in this crazy life that I can control. (Although I've long believed that my hair, known …
where have you been all my life?
She's gone blonde. Yes, dear reader, after years and years on the darker side of the color wheel, I decided to make a big Year of 40 change and go blonde. My hair is now a honey blonde hue and I love it something awful. Initially after the coloring, as you can see in some …
Fabu Fashion Sunday: Saturday Bloom
Hey, y'all. So a good friend of mine threw a beautiful get-together yesterday with a lovely theme: Bloom Where You Are Planted.

Blogtober #27: “…in one autumnal face.”
It's a gorgeous day. It's edible and gorgeous and autumnal and even warmer here than the season calls for. Enjoy your Saturday, wherever you are.

Blogtober #17: Fall Fabu Fashion.
Hey y'all. As you can imagine, with temps in the 40s and 50s around here in Somewheres, Texas (which is hardly seasonal; we should be around the 60s and bit of 70s, for the most part, but I certainly am not complaining), the pulling out of coats and sweaters and boots and scarves is in …
