Not pennies, but products. And if you sport your natural texture, you know exactly what I'm referring to. The search for products that will benefit your natural hair seems never-ending, not just in the beginning, but  sometimes throughout the hair journey. Add to the fact that I believe our natural roots occasionally like to play too …
Bantu Knots, The Hundred-Foot Journey, and the Weekend
Happy November, ya'll. This weekend, I decided to put in some Bantu knots for her in an effort to change up the usual two-strand twist and/or fro look that she likes to sport. This isn't the first time I wore Bantus, but I changed things up a bit. Typically, I Bantu on dry, stretched hair; i.e., an …

It’s a Swap Thing. (Blogtober #27)
This past weekend, me and a good friend decided to host a Natural Hair Swap Party. And it was all kinds of awesome. The Original Plan: a year ago, as my friends sat in a car and discussed the different products we use for our natural manes and how effective/ineffective they were, I found it interesting …
The Fall Ruby Woo Rule. (Blogtober #15)
You know how much I love my MAC Ruby Woo lipstick. A reminder. It's my go-to when I dress up and it's also my burst of color for any casual outfit. I love it like crazy. But the thing is, I rarely wear my Ruby Woo when I head into the OK Corral, the 9-to-5, …
…so she did.
Oh, hi. Yes, I'm alive. I'm aliiiive. It's been a while, hasn't it? What I can say? I've been all over the place. So what did she (being me) do? I made strides on that musical bucket list by seeing this gentleman in concert last month. Even better, I took my mom and we screamed like …
The Status Quo.
Last week, I turned on the TV in the morning before beginning my usual routine. This involves bargaining with myself to allow a few more minutes of sleep time, then lecturing myself on the value of actually arriving to work on time, then finally getting up, then turning on the Today show. I watch it every morning. …
Fabu Fashion Tuesday
I just keep changing things up, huh? Let's just agree that Fabu Fashion can happen any day. Anyway, wanted to share a few outfit deets on my wedding ensemble from this past weekend. Dress - Dress Barn. I wanted something summery and cute for the wedding, and this dress definitely fit the bill. I think …
here we go.
Was this post a result of an insensitive comment thrown in my direction by another woman who felt the need to share her very unsolicited opinions about my hair to me? Perhaps. Opinions. Ain't. Facts. I cannot stress this enough, party people. Furthermore: 1. The fact that you don't care for my afro? Means nothing. …
Hair Lessons and Hair Love.
We'll go with the love first. Naturally. So I rocked Senegalese twists for the past month and a half. 'Twas a great protective style, but the feeling of taking them out and finally getting to place my hands into my scalp was divine. Since a deep--and I mean deeeep--conditioning was necessary, I headed to the …
Au Naturale.
Those endless selfies are for a reason, Mom. From December 2012 to a few weeks ago, my natural hair journey so far...
