6 Ways to be a More Responsible Product Junkie

Lately, I’ve had urges to buy ALL.THE.PRODUCTS. All of them. Especially when I go to my favorite stores and I see shiny new jars everywhere I go. I’m what you’d call a “product junkie”. I love buying tons of new hair products! It seems that all my favorite brands are always coming out with something new, and I just have to give them a try!

But what’s a natural to do? I don’t have the dollars…

Natural Hair Breakage & How to Stop It

During my usual hair care routine, I had a startling realization- I have some SERIOUS hair breakage, primarily around my edges- front, sides, AND back.

This really isn’t a good look, and this breakage has me a little baffled. However, I have theories as to WHY this is happening:

Back- tying my night scarf to tight. Hair gets caught and breaks off

Front- I like to flat twist the front for a…

KITCHEN staples for Fall/Winter

I know it isn’t autumn yet … but my brain is already there! I can’t wait for scarves and boots and cozy soups. One thing I didn’t count on when moving to the South- autumn really starts in late October. September can be JUST AS HOT as July and August, trust me!

In the meantime, I start stockpiling dried and non-perishable goods, just like my mother and her mother before her! No, I’m not…

4 Twitter Chats for Creatives!

Although my work schedule varies, I always try to make time to engage in a Twitter chat! There are MANY reasons why I believe one should participate in a chat, but here are my top 3:

Road Trip & Easy Travel Style

Ricky and I have been road tripping!

First, there was a wedding in Ohio for our very sweet, very dear friends. There was NO WAY we’d even think of missing it! It was a beautiful and heartfelt event- and when the happy couple drove off into the sunset, Ricky and I all but collapsed! LOL weddings are fun, but exhausting!

The groom invited us to brunch and a tour of the city a few days before the…

Summer Skin Pampering

It’s easy to think that pampering your skin is just for the winter time, when your skin is at it’s driest and itchiest- skin that’s crying out for attention definitely needs more love than normal. However, your skin deserves (and needs!) pampering in the summer as well! The hot sun and excessive sweat can really take a toll after a while. I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve for keeping my…

Concord Aquarium

Ricky and I took a trip to the Sea Life Charlotte-Concord Aquarium a few weeks ago, and the venue was quite surprising!

My first thought was that this aquarium would be more suited for my 2-year-old nephew instead of a pseduo date night. My suspicions seemed to be confirmed with the fun (and educational!) 5 minute PSA we had to watch upon entry, and the Disney-like characters on the wall…

Summer Reading 2015

I was an avid reader back in grade school- although I mostly read “The Babysitters’ Club” than anything else, lol. Now that I’m older and out of college, I read because I want to (and not to pass a test.) I find myself reaching for non-fiction mostly, and these are the three books I’m dying to read next:

Small Victories by Anne Lamott

I’m currently working on this one. Anne, a political…

Loving the Skin I'm In!

Loving the Skin I’m In!

We’ve all done it ladies.

Listening to negative thoughts about our appearance. Listening to that little voice inside that says that we aren’t good enough or pretty enough. The voice inside that says that we’re shaped weird or our hair is too frizzy or whatever.

I’m trying to conscientiously silence these negative thoughts. I admit, it’s a little difficult every now and then. I’m sure many…
