Hair days can be daunting. It didn’t feel any different when I decided I was tired of trying to pluck my gray hairs. It also didn’t help that in the back of my mind, I hear some old lady telling me not to pluck them because two or three more grow back in it’s place. I’m still trying to figure…

Some of you may recall in a previous post that I mention I had shaved my head. I went from experimenting with bleaching my hair blonde, to a couple months later shaving my head. Which I guess is equivalent to a big chop. Today, I want to share a hair cream that has transformed my hair – Vatika Naturals Hair…

Hello, fall. A constant in makeup Too Faced Better Than Sex Liquid eyeliner. I bought it last month in Miami and I have been using it every day I wear makeup since then. Scent I’ve been reaching for Maison Margiela Jazz Club. For several years now! I can’t believe how consistent I am with that. It just smells so good.…

It seems like working from home might be ramping down and I’ve got the perfect hair and makeup for return to the office. Let’s start with hair! As you may know, I am a full lace wig gal, but it has been very hard to find full lace wigs at a reasonable price lately. I’ve been wearing clip-ins for a…

The heat this year is out of control and I just wanted my scalp back! As much as I love the convenience of wigs and how beautiful they can look, there’s nothing like access to your scalp and freeing your hairline. You may recall from my passion twists post, I don’t really have that much hair these days because I…

Let’s get the burning questions out of the way: Yes, I did them myself! And boy, was it a process! First thing’s first – I got the hair from Amazon and it was $34.99/pack. The hair comes pre-looped and already colored so all you need to do is put them in. The vendor included everything you need to complete the…

Today, I want to talk about these pre-tied head wraps I purchased from Amazon. They were super affordable, they came in a pack of three, and they are incredibly cute. I have been wanting some sort of a hair accessory to change up my hairstyles and these fit the bill. The head wraps are great for running errands, for taking…

I thought I might make out with more than I did from the Nordstrom Anniversary sale – I had 32 items on my wish list. I ended up with just a few things from the sale and some regular all-year-around stuff. The best part is, it’s all still available at the great prices I picked them up for.

If you haven’t already shopped the early Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, open up your wallets and get the items you want today – these aren’t coming back in stock, and that’s from the horse’s mouth!

Hi Everyone! I thought it was time for a change in hair before I did something drastic and purchased a new synthetic lace front wig. This beauty is from Outre and is called Kimani. I got it in the shade 3DRFF Amber Blonde and it looks really good. Check out my video review on it and see Kimani in action!

Welcome back to the internet after walking from the fridge to the bathroom and back to where you were because, you know, quarantine! Today, I have a review of a hair mask I have been consistently using, and in fact, actually WANT to consistently use. I am happily late to this party! The hair mask in question is the Shea Moisture…

Wigs are a gift and a curse, man. I love them so much because it makes managing that part of my life incredibly easy, plus I really love long hair. Lately, I have had the repetitive thought that maybe I should just shave it all off and start all over. I mean, I do go natural for two years and…

A few weeks back when Ulta had a 20% off sale, I picked up quite a few items. It’s funny because the Sephora sale was just before that and I did not partake at all. Here’s what I made out with.

Are you tired of shrieking ‘OMG’ everytime you take a scrunchie out of your hair because you’ve noticed you’ve ripped your hair out with it too? Well, I certainly was. That is what led me to the Slip Silk Scrunchie. I first saw these on Gothamista’s Instagram stories. I gave them a side eye because I was familiar with the…

I reupped my Function of Beauty hair products this past September and wanted to report that I am still loving their products. I recently transitioned from natural to relaxed hair and my hair is still loving the formula. You can revisit my review of the shampoo and conditioner here.

I have stood in a Black Friday line once in my life and that’s about all it took to get me to never do it again. Must have been more than ten years ago. I’ve found that the same stuff is available online, from the comfort of your warm, cozy home, and sometimes on Thanksgiving Day! Here are interesting finds…

Ulta is having a pretty fabulous sale on their website. Up to 50% off beauty goodies, and not just lame stuff they can’t sell. 40% off the already nicely priced Real Techniques brand is drool-worthy; 50% off Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer, something I have been wanting to try for a while; 40% off L.A.Girl (I love their concealers). In…

When I look at this photo, the first thing that jumps out at me is my makeup but more on that later! I’m here today to talk about headbands! I used to be really into them, especially when I wore my natural hair relaxed. Eventually the love started to fade, but my fling with them has started back up. The…

Same song. Same song. Every time I bleach my hair, I go through the same process of how to get those awful brassy-orange tones out of my hair. I have been experimenting with this for some time and I wanted to share a method that worked!

Hola and Happy Thanksgiving! I put this list in an effort to highlight some of the great deals out there this holiday season, just in time for the Black Friday/Cyber Monday Weekend. Also, beauty shopping can be overwhelming as hell (well, for me anyway) so I’ve put together this guide, separated by budget, to zoom in on the things that…
