Two weeks ago, I decided to make a change to welcome fall. Shall we? Yes, she's a redhead now. This lovely shade that I love so will remain until the gray hairs, lying dormant for now, decide to engage in their usual Terminator-like uprisings and rebellion. Until then: I greet autumn with this fresh, new …
Blogtober #1. (aka: We’re Doing This.)
We've done Project Blogtober before. (Search and ye shall find.) And we shall do it again, despite my lazy blogger fingers. 31 days of blogging this entire month. 31 days of blogging about fall as a theme in some way, shape, or form, because October is my favorite month and because I turn 40 this …
African Black Soap is The Truth.
Happy Monday. So, I talked about my skincare routine here. Recall that I wanted to make some improvements to my quick routine, being that with age came crazy, random blemish bursts and also, I think my skin had become way too used to the products I had been using for years. Several months ago, I …
Because Solange.
Okay, dear Reader, you know I cut my hair. Well, I cut it again. And again. After the first cut, I went back to my stylist and asked for another cut, to even things out, and to color it, as well, since the gray hairs were like all these changes are making us nervous so …
it had to happen.
December 2012: after eight months of waiting and impatiently wearing two different hair textures on my head (the relaxed ends and the growing, textured, natural roots), I walked into a salon and big chopped my hair. The smile on my face below should tell you how I felt about my decision. I felt free. At …
i didn’t look pregnant!
Party people: I rarely wear jumpsuits. Because when I do wear them, I look with child. And since I'm not with child and haven't ever been with child, you can imagine me wanting to avoid appearing that way when it comes to my personal style. Nevertheless, while at Ross a week or so ago, I …
Fabu Fashion: Tasty Weekends.
How was your weekend, wherever you are? Mine was delicious. Not only because of the food I ate (and yeah, I keep eating like my metabolism is 16 years old and not close to a brand new decade; we will discuss later), but because Texas gave us two beautiful, sunny, warm, breezy days that were …
back to black.
After a year of red hair (which was my third time being a slight redhead), I went back to black--jet black--this weekend. She got colored and also received a much-welcomed shape-up/slight haircut. As much as I love making color changes to my hair, here's the main reason why black wins every single time: Had to …
because it’s Wednesday.
Why relegate candy to your sweet tooth? Shall we not have candy for the eye, too? This is Superman. I know, I know: you thought Superman wasn't real you thought Superman was Christopher Reeve. And he is, no doubt. But this is the new Superman. And I mean...Wednesdays were made for that face. They just …
Fabu Fashion Monday: Wedding Fro/Flow
Hey y'all. I had the pleasure of attending the nuptials of two dear friends this past weekend and wanted to share what I wore, what I did with Her (my hair, as you know), and other tings. Let's, shall we? What I wore: So I suffer from this problem I'd like to call "forgets that …
