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, …
Just No.
Image credit: Instagram Whew. The accuracy. I saw this post on the ‘Gram and felt like discussing. So, although “no” is a complete sentence (just like yes), most people don’t hear it that way. Agree? Most of the time, a “no” is followed by a “why not?” from the hearer or them giving you a …
Blogtober #29: A Few Things…

I’ll fall in love someday...even though hope is sitting in the corner, exhausted, bored, and yawning... 3. You’ll always get the Oxford comma from me. Always, always, and always. 4.

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 …
