When your wash-n-go gets old, its… TURBAN TIME!!

Usually, turbans are not my go-to on an old wash-n-go. I always have trouble wrapping them and they don’t stay the way I would like them to on my head throughout the day, but I tried my hand at it one more time. This time, I put less thought into how I wrapped it, and I must say, it came out pretty good! This is what I did different:

The Glow Up | Returning My Energies

Since I turned thirty, growth, spiritually and mentally, has been my TOP priority!

My journey started when I decided that I would protect my peace at all cost. So many things and people in our day to day lives can steal our peace away, and put us in a really negative space. Once I stopped letting people and things disturb my peace, removed them out of my life (if necessary), and started focusing…

My soul sista, Erykah Badu, recently released an essay that blessed me, and I thought someone who is also on a path of elevation might need this too. 

A snippet:

How do we portion our busy lives to give the proper attention to our inner beings; the part of us that, at its core, regulates our mental, emotional and vital wellness? Perhaps we change our state of being by taking a look inside and…

Product Review | Kinky Curly Knot Today

  Trying a new product is always so scary for me!

I think the biggest fear is my hair looking a hot mess and I have to be somewhere soon. lol My second fear would be, wasting my money. The only store I know of that will return used hair products is Target.

Regular leave-in conditioners are so basic in comparison to a leave-in that moisturizes AND detangles. Really good ones are like unicorns. So…

I’m in LOVE with this blush by Laura Geller!! ❤️ 

  Don’t sleep on your local beauty supply store and their makeup!

Here are some products I’m sure you’d like and may want to try to…
