Happy Hump Day!


I am finally getting around to re-tightening my locs. I have yet to even try to find a new stylist in Southern California (nor did I even try to go to that big Sisterlocks gathering).

For some reason I am only inspired to re-ti during awkward moments (like the middle of Women's bible study), at least more than half of my locs are redone!

Still using the nappyloc tool and those fabric store needles since they really get the job done for $1!


I have skin care updates and product recommendations pending so look out for those in days to come!

Every weekend I take my daughter to her TOT ballet class. I didn't have the kind of childhood that included these little luxuries, the opportunity to develop a talent on my parent's dime. In the midst of my many pursuits, I want to make sure I fuel my own children's creativity and success.

I don't know if my daughter will continue dance in the years to come, but in these little moments I can see glimpses of her growing into the woman she will become.

There is beautiful quality about Tayarisha Poe's photographs, she has the uncanny ability to capture quiet and familiar moments in a way that makes them extraordinary and striking.

A little almost midnight rant on my birthday!

A little almost midnight rant on my birthday!


*Rolled over this morning and faced husband*
Husband: How does it feel?
Wife: How does what feel?
Husband: To wake up on the final day of your 20's?
Wife: REALLY? (Thinks: REALLY you stupid jerk, then immediately asks Jesus for forgiveness)
Husband: (Smiles) I mean that as a compliment!
Wife: A compliment, by reminding me of the END...
Husband: The END of what?
You are more beautiful than ever!
Your skin is perfect!
You've grown so much since we started dating freshmen year!
We're married, you birthed our children, and you put the word aging to shame!
Wife: OH! You still shouldn't have started with reminding me it is the last day of my 20's...

TOMORROW IS MY BIRTHDAY, but today I celebrate the end of a decade by going to work make-up free and wearing my best smile and my fiercest wedges! Happy Thursday!

This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending a birthday part for Ruche, an online boutique with a vintage inspired touch. Their 6th birthday party was filled with decorative whimsy, delish treats, and fabulous fashion for a steal.



So to celebrate my birthday month, I have also decided to giveaway one of the dresses I picked up during their birthday party:

Take your make-up off
Let your hair down
Take a breath
Look into the mirror, at yourself
Don't you like you?
Cause I like you

Do you like you?

Don't you like you?
