Another Hair Video Coming Soon

 I'll be posting another video soon, any topic suggestions? I just need to get a new tripod for my camera!!!

Loc Close Up


Tonight, I lost my whole entire mind when I got it in my head to henna my locs. I forgot how difficult it was with loose natural hair let alone locks. Yes, henna is great and all natural and has been used by women for centuries, but it is not to be underestimated. I was so afraid of staining my skin, that as soon as I haphazardly put it in I washed it out.

See the photos:


I had to sit in the spa tub to apply because it was falling in big globs everywhere:

The AFTER is blah, EPIC Fail... but it did cover my sketch lint spots, single gray area and trapped hair follicles. Maybe it wasn't so blah after all:

Merry Christmas

From my family to yours.
Week two of December!


Another Random Video Hair Update

Week two of December!


Winners Mary and Liv, your gift cards will be mailed tomorrow!

Tis the season for joy, love, peace, parties and packed event planners. This week, in addition to a plethora of year end mandatory work projects, I have to shop for gifts, host a charity table and take family photos. There is no end to the things that I have to do and events that I must attend. Not to mention, somewhere in the middle of this I still have to be a wife, mother, sister and daughter. This is my favorite and busiest time of year.

But, one thing I've learned is that this is not the time to lose touch with my fabulous side. This is the time to bring out figure flattering layers, to be festive with accessories and flirty with fashion. This is the time of year where you have a party or two that isn't a wedding. One in which you don't have to worry about outshining some woman in all white. One great way to save time and money is to pick pieces that could translate well in different settings. A little black dress that can be worn in the office all day and then dressed up with bold accessories and a funky heel for a little after hours soiree. Check out my day-to-night items currently available at a Lane Bryant near you and online.
