Personal Style | Summer Maxi

Beauties,

Can you believe I used to not be a fan of maxi dresses?  Is that even possible?  For years, I shied away from maxi dresses because I felt they made me look short.  This year, after seeing so many cute ones at Forever 21, I finally decided to give maxi dresses a try and needless to say, I fell in love.  Maxi dresses are not only comfortable, but extremely versatile.  The older I get, the more versatility is an absolute must.

Natural Hair | First Impressions of Curlkalon Kenzie Curls

Beauties,

It's protective style season!  Even though I have shaved sides, that was not going to keep me from wearing a protective style this summer.  When I recently discovered Curlkalon online, I knew it was time to bring back my favorite protective style, crochet braids.  I recently had the Curlkalon Kenzie Curls installed and I'm giving the scoop on my first impressions in my latest video.

Healthy Living | What Do I Do Now?

Beauties,

I'm sure some of you have noticed that it has been awhile since I've done a healthy living post.  To be honest, much of that is because I had fallen back into my old ways.  I'm actually typing this after having come from a doctor's appointment where I was told yet again that I need to lose weight.  The doctor of course worded it much more eloquently than that, but I know the deal.  Why isn't losing weight as easy as it is to gain it?

Beauty | butter LONDON Bloody Brilliant Lip Crayon Collection Review & Giveaway

Beauties,

If you know me, you know I love a great lipstick.  Add my love of lipstick with convenience and honey, I'm in love!  I was both excited yet curious when butter LONDON reached out to me recently about a new project they were working on.  I knew from our communication that they were working on something in the makeup realm, but it wasn't until I received the package that I saw what wonderful new things they had up their sleeve.  butter LONDON sent me their entire new Bloody Brillant Lip Crayon Collection.

Lifestyle | Building Confidence Series: Accepting & Growing from your Upbringing

Beauties,

You may have seen that I recently updated my About Me page.  As I continue to grow as a woman, it's my goal to share not only beauty and style with you, but my personal testimony.  I was asked late last year to talk about building confidence.  I think confidence is something you constantly work at and as I go along my own journey, I want to share different things that I've learned and feel help with building confidence.

Personal Style | Making It Work

Beauties,

Sometimes it's inevitable.  You purchase a thrifted piece without trying it on and you guessed it, it's too small.  I not only thrift in local stores, but I also thrift online and the risk you take with online thrifting is that despite your best efforts, you may end up with a piece that doesn't quite fit the way you imagined.  When I saw this dress online, I loved it so I quickly made the purchase.  When it arrived, I took it to the cleaners and after I picked it up, I definitely got a surprise.
