Lifestyle. Melanin. Me: Off the Beaten Path.
Oh, hi. Are you good? It's been forever and a day. But here we are. Summer has been summering and me and my pup are just plugging along, trying not to spontaneously combust from the Texas heat. (So in Texas, if you're not aware, there's the actual temperature, there's the heat index, and then there's …

I went to the park yesterday. My essentials: • Mask 😷 • Sunnies 😎 • Lipstick that means nothing underneath the mask but essential for selfies 💄💋 • A sweater for the delightfully mid-50s autumnal day 🍂🍁 Hope your weekend was bon. Onwards...
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 …
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 …
