It’s simple: shoddy efforts reap shoddy results! Your scalp health is just as if not more important than the health of your strands. Healthy hair cannot grow from an unhealthy, buildup laden scalp so make sure you set aside enough time to clean it thoroughly. We all lead busy lives but we always seem to make time for the things we really feel are important. If the overall health of your hair is important to you, you will do what’s necessary to maintain its health. Skipping steps or rushing through the process will only do more damage than good so take your time and do it right. I know you’re thinking, “but it takes soooo long!” Hey! I know a few naturalistas who turn wash day an all-out affair complete with a relaxing soak in a bubble bath, glass of wine in hand! You don’t have to dread washing your…
Howdy! Welp, last Friday you saw my brainstorming in action as I tried to figure out what to wear to this brunch with an all-white theme. If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you may have already caught a glimpse of my getup. Here it is in all it’s glory… Hair: Marley Twists Necklace: Aldo (similar here & here) Dress: Rainbow (similar) Gap scarf worn as belt (super old- similar here) Shoes: JustFab (similar here) I wasn’t sure WHAT to expect when I walked into Rainbow with my tight budget (limit- $20!) but I was hoping for a miracle. Would I find something brunch-worthy?! This strapless dress was the only thing in the entire store that was all white, basic enough to dress up and at a length I was comfortable with. I’ve basically been over the high-low thing since it began (LOL!) but this was doable since the “high” wasn’t…
So, here’s the story. I was invited to a brunch taking place tomorrow which I’m very excited to attend. Only thing is, it’s an all-white event. Now, I have a few white separates but nothing that really “goes” together. I’m also on the tightest budget EVER in the history of time. What’s a girl to do?! I took to Google the other night, brainstorming, using my PhotoGrid app to make a quick collage: Folake of Style Pantry always gets it right! A dress takes the guess work out of “what to wear” since it’s basically a top and bottom in one and her maxi is spot on. I added another basic maxi to the mix as well as a few separates just for some inspiration. I often like to accent a neutral, monochromatic palette (esp. white) with color color color, so I thought I’d go with my coral Lizette pumps…
I don’t always paint my nails. But when I do, I prefer Sinful Colors. (-_-) HA!! Okay, I know… that was kinda cheesy but I couldn’t resist. I discovered Sinful Colors brand nail polishes last year after seeing them featured in a few PhillyDiva tutorials on YouTube. When I saw them at my local Rite Aid… *gasp*. I couldn’t believe all the vibrant colors they offered at such an affordable price! Without hesitation, I bought three. 😉 Well, yeah, it took me a good while to decide exactly which colors to buy because they’re all so AWESOME!!! My nails have been growing pretty well these days which, I’m convinced, is due to the regular use of coconut oil. How I use it and its benefits will be left for another post but the point is, I thought it was time to finally jazz up these babies. I used to do…
HAPPY FRIDAY!!! This Wednesday, I had the pleasure of seeing a one mister Allen Stone in concert at Brooklyn Bowl in Williamsburg Brooklyn. MAN did I have a good time!!!!!!! <— too many exclamation marks? Nope, not even! LOL! This dude knows how to get a crowd going not to mention his oh-so-soulful voice- WOO! Ok, enough about him for now, let’s get to the fashion… Of course, the “superstar” of this outfit is the FLY GRL tank, created by my girl Toni of Haus of Swag. It brings a little old school flavor with the message as well as a design reminiscent of 80s rap trio Run DMC… Love it! As an #80sbaby and fan of old school hip-hop, I was all over it. I wasn’t really going for a set “theme” here. I was just trying to stay cool, be cute and feel comfy! ^_^ Now that I…
