Wedding | Choosing the Dress via Simply Bridal

Hello Beauties!

As our wedding day gets closer and closer, I'm happy to say that I've completed what many would say is one of the hardest tasks! For me, it was an easy process.  Choosing my wedding dress was something I did early on because I knew when we began talking about marriage, finding the perfect dress can be time consuming.  I knew I wanted something affordable yet elegant.  After seeing online advertisements for Simply Bridal, I chose to take a look at their website.

Events | iGrind Coffee Chat Recap

Hello Beauties!

Last Saturday, I had the wonderful opportunity to be the special guest at the iGrind Coffee Chat in Raleigh, North Carolina.  I was invited by the event host, the creator of International Natural Hair Meetup Day, Adeea Rogers.  The event was created to allow a space for people in the community to network as well as learn best practices for a business, blog, vlog, etc.  This event was new for me, but such a wonderful learning experience.  I really had the opportunity to dig deep and share what I've learned through blogging throughout the last three years.

Beauty | Daytime Smoky Eye

Hello Beauties!

Over the weekend, I had the wonderful opportunity to be the special guest at the iGrind Coffee Chat in Raleigh, North Carolina.  I knew going in that this was something completely new for me.  I would be talking about key elements to a successful website or blog and budget friendly marketing materials.  This was my first time going to an event and not talking about natural hair or beauty. However, I decided that although my topic was different, I still wanted to show that I am passionate about beauty and natural hair.

Natural Hair | Is Going Natural Hard?

Hello Beauties!

Today's post may be a bit different than my typical natural hair posts, but it has been a question that has been swirling around in my mind for quite some time.  Is going natural hard?  Is it a hard process?  Everyone's experience with going natural is going to be different; however, the question came from seeing women I know discussing it on Facebook.  The common consensus was that it was a hard experience; however, the intensity of the process they described was far more than I'd ever felt.

Fashion | Work Chic featuring ModCloth

Hello Beauties!

Although I share most of my fashion on Facebook and Instagram, I am soon going to be bringing back style posts to the blog. Because I'm still and will always be a huge fan of fashion, I was intrigued when ModCloth reached out to me to see if I was interested in participating in their Uniquely You campaign.  The campaign involves creating an outfit based around one chosen piece from ModCloth.  This week's chosen piece is their Grand Tour Guide Top.

Beauty | MAC Heroine is BACK!

Hello Beauties!

It seems like every cosmetic company around likes to tease us with limited edition items, but how often does a company make a limited edition item permanent?  It is a rare occurrence, but I am happy that MAC Cosmetics recently announced that the infamous, Heroine lipstick, is now permanent.  This lipstick is probably one of the most famous lipsticks beyond RiRi Woo.

Fashion | Value Village Thrift Haul

Hello Beauties!

It has been awhile since my last thrifting post, but I recently dived back into thrifting during the holidays.  I visited my favorite thrift store, Value Village, and racked up!  I went in just to browse and ended up scoring eight items for $26.  Some of the items were perfect to wear right now while others will be pulled out in the warmer months.

Check out my video of my Value Village haul:

Home | Febreze Sleep Serenity Collection Review

Hello Beauties!

One of the things I love the most in home decor are candles and home fragrances.  When I get home during the week, I love coming in the door and being greeted by a pleasant scent.  It relaxes me and automatically puts me in a better mood.  What if there were home fragrances that were actually made to relax you?  Febreze is one step ahead of the game.  They recently released their Sleep Serenity Collection, which comes in three scents that are made to help you relax.
