Don’t Forget Your Smile

June 6, 2017

Lately, I haven’t had the strength to write. It’s actually taking me forever to write this post and it’s so unfamiliar since I typically zone in and can write anything.

I’ve been doing a lot…like, running around preparing my baby sister for prom (which she absolutely slayed). I’ve been doing my church duties, friend duties, daughter duties and all the while trying to juggle my retail job, remote job, website and relentless emotional and spiritual tests. Thankfully, my list includes fun stuff, such as driving up to Canada last week for a family wedding and flying down to Georgia for another the month before. Those getaways have been so needed because I’m obsessed with my family and it brings me joy to be around them.

However, I am still.going.through.

Have you been seeing your favorite natural hair influencers sporting something that looks like a beanie but then again can be worn as a bonnet? I have! Up and down my feed, continuously. After seeing so many ads, I wanted to give it a try. Outside of my precious bundles, I am #teamnatural and I’m always looking to try out anything that will protect my curls!

Bloggers in New York City

May 5, 2017

Remember a couple of weeks back when I was flooding Snapchat and Instastories with my adventures in NYC? I teamed up with my Style Collective Sisters for a “Bloggers in New York City Takeover” Weekend. I’m talking blow outs, kickboxing, brunch on brunch on brunch and more! Everything, and when I say, everything was complimentary!

Here’s how it all went down.

The Best Face Oils for Your Skin

April 26, 2017

We’ve all been told at some point in our lives that we should keep oil far away from our skin–whether it had been a beauty counter rep telling you, your doctor or your mama! It didn’t matter if it was oil splattering up from fried chicken pan, the natural oils we find in our skin, or organic oils. To us women, all kinds were synonymous with “no bueno.” Because oil = breakouts, right?

Not necessarily.

Wellesley’s Women’s Leadership Program Wants YOU (Yes, You!)

April 15, 2017

Whoa. Here lies a look that was supposed to be posted over a year ago! I remember the day clearly – I was on campus and had no class so I hurriedly shot this look! I found it in my archives while scrounging for material to tell you girlbosses about this amazing program I wish I knew about when I was in college! It’s called the Wellesley’s Contemporary Women’s Leadership Program.

Yeah I know. When you think “Wellesley,” you think “Wellesley College,” as in queen of all things women, right? Me too. And guess what, they want you to be a part of it!
