Personal Style | Romping Around

Hello Beauties!

Do you ever commend yourself for trying new things in life?  If you don't, you should.  This summer, I have been on a mission to try new styles.  Last week, I finally shared that I found an amazing kimono.  This week, I'm romping around in this denim romper I found in Rainbow.  I recently went in to do an exchange and there it was.  After trying it on, I knew it had to go home with me.

Fashion | Firmoo Glasses Review

Hello Beauties!

A few months ago I was contacted by Firmoo to review a pair of their glasses.  Firmoo is an online retailer who sells both prescription and non-prescription glasses and sunglasses.  I had heard of them well before they contacted me because my husband took advantage of their First Pair Free Program in late 2012.  He even wore the glasses in our engagement photos.  Since I already knew of the company and he loves his glasses, I wanted to give them a try.

Personal Style | Kimono Fever feat. 9th & elm

Hello Beauties!

Kimonos are all the rage this summer!  Ever since they hit the scene, I have been itching to get my hands on one!  As I would find them in stores and try them on, I wasn't pleased with how a lot of them fell on my body.  I wanted a longer one and thanks to 9th & elm, I was finally able to find one.  When 9th & elm, a website of handmade and independent designers, contacted me about reviewing a piece from their website, I jumped at the opportunity.  I was even more elated when I found a floral kimono on their website.

Personal Style | June Style Recap

Hello Beauties!

I know the end of July is soon coming; however, I wanted to still take the time to do a recap of the June Style Challenge I participated in.  As some of you may remember, last month I participated in this style challenge and each week, I was given a theme for the week to create an outfit from.  This was something I had never participated in before and I can say I truly loved it!  I gained a lot of fashion inspiration during the challenge.

Personal Style | Thrifted Boyfriend Jeans

Hello Beauties!

A few months ago, I made a complaint on Twitter about my struggle to find a proper fitting pair of boyfriend jeans.  Ever since the boyfriend jean hit the scene, I have been loving them, but unfortunately, most pairs have not been loving me.  I am heavier on the bottom of my body so every pair of boyfriend jeans I tried was either too tight in the leg or too loose in the waist.  I am happy to announce my struggle is finally over and it ended in an unexpected place!

Natural Hair | Parnevu T-Tree Braid Spray & Scalp Oil Review

Hello Beauties!

I am always excited to share my thoughts with you on products and today's products were used throughout the four weeks I had havana twists.  While my havana twists were installed, I alternated between the Parnevu T-Tree Braid Spray and Scalp Oil.  Before we get started with the review, let's learn about the Parnevu T-Tree Collection!

Beauty | The Importance of Your Annual Physical Exam

Hello Beauties!

During my morning commutes, I love listening to the Tom Joyner Morning Show.  Last week as I was driving to work, they were sharing some of the latest news and one of the pieces of information they shared is a study where some doctors are saying there may be no need for yearly pelvic exams.  I loved their dialogue they had afterwards and it left me thinking.  I felt this was a great time to share my own personal testimony and why I believe you should have a yearly pelvic exam.

Personal Style | Vacation Style feat. Stylzoo

Hello Beauties!

As we celebrated Independence Day this weekend, I thought about how many of us will soon be going on (or currently are on) our summer vacations.  When I think about vacation, I think about taking it easy and taking it easy also means comfortable, cute clothes in my book.  When Stylezoo asked me to style a piece from their collection, I was immediately drawn to the bold, bright palazzo pants.  They instantly reminded me of easy, vacation style.

Natural Hair | The Good & Bad on Havana Twists

Hello Beauties!

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed that I tried something new with my hair.  I had havana twists installed.  This must be the year of new things for me because just like my last protective style, this style was completely different for me.  I have seen so many fabulous naturalistas rocking havana and marley twists and I wanted to give them a try for myself.  Now that I am approaching the one month mark since having them installed, I wanted to share my thoughts on this style so far.
