Blogvember #7: Oh, am I blushing?
I think the last time I wore blush was sometime in my late teens when I officially got the green light from the Moms to start wearing makeup. Since my abundance of teen magazines provided everything from makeup tips to how to get that guy to notice you (no comment), I basically put everything on …
that skin(care) thing.
By now, you get that I like when things are low key and simple, right? Low maintenance rocks my quiet world. I watched a YouTube video today about skincare products and was reminded of just that: when it comes to skincare and beauty regimens, you can imagine how utterly unfussy I am. If it takes …
Geneviève.
That's the name I've given my wig. SN: wigs are like sliced bread when it comes to my eternal love and devotion. I can slap a wig cap over my two-strand twists that I didn't feel like taking out--which is exactly what's going on as we e-speak--and transform my entire look for the day. Pretty …
because it’s Wednesday.
This is Daniel Sunjata. He's an actor. This Wednesday is all his. Many years ago, a friend of mine clipped his photo from a magazine and presented it to me, declaring that upon seeing his face, she just knew that said face would make me happy. She wasn't wrong. At the time, I had no idea …
We Need to Talk about This.
Girl, you've been looking really nice lately, wearing all these beautiful dresses. What's his name? Oh my goodness, I didn't even recognize you. You look so different! Are you seeing someone?

This one. I'm in love with Sherlock Holmes because of him. If you haven't watched his incredible rendering of Sherlock...your reasons better be good. Like living in a cave and/or not owning a television good. Here sits Benedict Cumberbatch: all those letters in his name, those eyes, that voice (go to YouTube and listen!)... I …
Fabu Fashion Monday: A Little Night Music.
Last weekend, my friend and I headed up to NYC to catch a concert by Damien Escobar, a violinist I discovered a few months ago. It was a nice chance to get out of town, even for a quick weekend. Digressing: have I discussed my love/hate relationship with the city? It's a fantastic place for the arts, …

Salon/Stylist Stories.
Our intriguing, perplexing, awesome, mind-boggling, revolutionary, interesting, and life-changing relationship/journey began when I was 11 years old. This was when my mother took me to my first hair salon. It was owned by a Ghanaian woman who ran the salon from her apartment. I was terrified. No surprise there. If you know anything about me so far, …
