Remember how kids who went missing would have those age progression pics in junk mail and on milk cartons? Wondering if I look like the age progression or more like the parent who was last seen with the kid 🤷🏾‍♀️ Heard folks are doing some aging challenge... so here's my contribution 📸 1994 vs 2017. From 👧🏾 to 💁🏾‍♀️! 23 yrs between these 2 pics. #627inSeattle #BlackGirlMagic #BoxBraids #ThenAndNow #Aging #Melanin (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsjb2SsHojX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yofefuvi9rzw

So, you mean to tell me I can fade out everything in the background and edit myself to be the true star player I am in own life? Girl.... YES! Having a lot of fun with #FaceTune editing capabilities, but still not editing my actual facial features because I'm not about to have folks scratching their heads when they see me IRL 😂 #Instagram vs #RealLife On another note I've been rocking the same @narsissist powermatte lip pigment in #WildNight the past 2 weeks (so no new MOTD videos) and I added some new #gold from an @etsy shop @toeknee430 recommended. Also can't believe I've had these braids for nearly 4 weeks!!! @mimis__styles okay boo 😘 Face: @narsissist concealer Brows: @benefitcosmetics Lips: @narsissist Mascara: @maybelline x @makeupshayla Blush/Highlight: @fentybeauty Dog hair in my braids: @khaleesi_gsd 😂 #627inSeattle #MOTD #NARS #Narsissist #BenefitBrows #FulaniBraids #PNWNaturals #SeattleNaturals #CurlBox #GoodVibes #BlackGirlMagic (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BshKGdInhbi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c13wll5rsuj1

I can't remember exactly when @vibrantbrownhue bought me the #52ListsProject book by @mooreaseal, but it sat on my bookshelf collecting dust (but looking super pretty) for far too long. Yesterday morning Mike suggested I "put down my phone and do some self-reflection" and I was finally ready to crack it open and create a new habit. It's crazy it took me this long to open the book... I seriously wanted this book SO bad, then @vibrantbrownhue gifted me it... and I was excited but still didnt start it lol. Funny how we desire certain things, get them, then do nothing with it 🤷🏾‍♀️ leaving that energy in 2018. Also... Instagram vs Reality... I live for a bubble bath, with a beverage (usually flat or sparkling water), and a queued up YouTube playlist. Yesterday I swapped out YouTube for my #52ListsProject book and obviously wanted to capture an image... only the backdrop of my toilet wasn't cute 🤷🏾‍♀️ also leaving unrealistic, overly edited, polished to perfection IG pics in 2018. There are so many pretty accounts on IG, but this won't be one where shit is edited beyond belief lol. Happy New Year 🎉 I'll be blogging weekly about my #52ListsProject #627inSeattle #Seattle #SelfCare #2019 #FuegoAF #MooreaSeal #Mindfulness #GoodVibes (at West Seattle, Seattle) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsJipKnH5-j/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d7r85xdlje6x

"Blacker the berry, sweeter the juice." Nails by @impekablenails 🍇🙋🏿‍♀️🍷💃🏾❤ Inspired by the @radical_dreams_pins @michelleobama pin (based on her @nytmag cover) & the @coloringpins juice box patch. I've been reading #Becoming and am completely enamoured with #MichelleObama. She's both relatable and aspirational... a living icon ❤ so happy @impekablenails did these. Every time I looked at my nails I was reminded of #BlackGirlMagic and #BlackExcellence. #627inSeattle #627Nails #ImpekableNails #freehand #NaturalNails #NailArt #NailDesign #Nails #Manicure #GelNails #SeattleNails #SeattleArtist #FLOTUS #FirstLady #Essence #CurlBox (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsJeg3DneLE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hky9kf52csvg

@maccosmetics' "Ruby Woo" is the the OG of red lips. I used @narsissist velvet matte lip pencil in "Mysterious Red" to do a soft outline and offer a base for Ruby Woo. This is a red lip combo that works for the majority of skin tones ❤💄💋💯💃🏾 #627inSeattle #MOTD #NARS #Narsissist #MAC #maccosmetics lipstick #redlip #NotABeautyBlogger #627Beauty #MatteLip #Sephora (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br5ndcaHSn2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17ldbw85t6qwb

The Beyoncé of vodkas for pickle lovers 💚 This is hands down the best vodka I've tasted to enhance the flavor of my favorite cocktail, the Bloody Mary!

Bless @couturecreationsbychloe's heart because she helped me explore different lip colors in @sephora for well over an hour. Walked out with 2 new @narsissist powermatte lip pigments, including this one: "Spin Me" - a rich, red brown. The formula is 💯 and you really only need 1 coat 😍 #627inSeattle #MOTD #NARS #Narsissist #LipColor #Makeup #627Beauty #Sephora #NotABeautyBlogger (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Brk5f8AHRT_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=k0jyoosempmp

Went to @sephora and bought @narsissist powermatte lip pigment in "Light My Fire," a super bright red orange 😘💋💄I used my #HolyGrail NARS "Dragon Girl" to line my lips. Also, am I the I the only one who sneaks into work conference rooms to take pics? 😬📸🙋🏾‍♀️ #627inSeattle #627Beauty #MOTD #NARS #Narsissist #RedLip #Sephora #NotABeautyBlogger #MatteLip #SeattleBlogger #PNWNaturals #SeattleNaturals #Makeup #LipColor (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrgAqvkn_kg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17a3h0j3i7rw3

I used a @limebike to ride up to @safeway, and that minimal calorie burn was just the justification I needed to finally buy these @royaldanskofficial cookies. It's been years since I've eaten these, but the glorious shine of the iconic blue tin makes my heart fill with nostalgia. Please excuse me while I try to not eat this entire tin in 1 night. Tonight to be precise. Actually, let me apologize to @mike.couch in advance because these were supposed to be for the both of us, but I can already tell I'm about to be a f*ckboy and eat all of them 🍪 #CookieMonster #WhoAteTheCookiesInTheCookieJar 🙋🏾‍♀️ (at West Seattle, Seattle) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrboFm1nqKa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gkk7pjgzquq3
