It’s my naturalversary. Eight years ago today, I drove to a salon in Maryland and told the stylist to commence with le big chop. Best decision ever. Several months before, I had decided that I was done with relaxers and straightening my hair. I’d place my fingers in my roots and feel the thick, coily …
Fabu Fashion Throwback: Dressy.
Coming back at ya with another fashion throwback to what I wore to our annual three-day religious convention. This time, we’re going back to 2018. And no surprise: my styles, again, had a theme. This time, I wanted to solely wear dresses. This was July in Texas and although we’d be inside, I just wanted …
Le Fro: Updates.
Here’s how the Le Fro is doing as of this past weekend, in my continuing efforts to grow out my hair and not eye the ✂️: Frowth. Curls galore, no? We love to see it. And this is actually a two-day wash-and-go courtesy of my stylist and good friend, who provided me with a nice, …
Fabu Fashion Throwback: Skirted.
All the way back in 2019–why does last year seem so long ago??—I attended a three-day religious convention that was all kinds of invigorating and refreshing. I really miss gathering together.

It's the constant back and forth: shall I keep growing out my hair? Or shall I chop it off (again)? Well, you're going to help me make that decision, dear reader. There's a poll after the photos below. Choose accordingly, won't you? Current length to the right; when I chopped it off in 2018 to …

Blogtober #17: Weekend Walks
Scenes from an almost 5-mile walk this autumnal Saturday afternoon. I heart walks and I heart October. And I doubly heart creeks and brooks and lakes and nature. What a beautiful day. All images credited to This Square Peg. Babble, brook. Babble. Happy Saturday.
Blogtober #13: Do Your Thing.
Since returning to my natural texture almost eight years ago (naturalversary is in December yay), I’ve had many, many, many hairstyles. Natural hair opened an experimentation door for me, undoubtedly; from varying lengths to color changes to everything in between, I managed to diffuse any boredom with styling and not shock my mother too much …
Blogtober #9: Styled by Zoom
Bon Friday. Some Zoom lewks over the past month. • Crochet passion twists are my newest protective style. My first time with passion twists and they’re pretty great. • My makeup for these looks: other than the lippies you see, none at all. I only wear lipstick and I’m good to go. I’m sure the …
