Come along for the ride through the Loreal Colorista Wash Out with friends Emilee Miller and Raelynn’s Roulette. The Loreal Colorista Wash Out event on Sunset Blvd. conveniently coincided with my birthday earlier this month. It was a really hot weekend, so I knew I wanted to show some skin and keep my hair up… I […]
Perhaps one of the greatest challenges for a fashion girl is staying chic & comfortable throughout the changing seasons. It’s my first fall/winter in California and, well, it hasn’t been easy. My transitional wardrobe is not suited for protecting me from the cruel winter elements. I’m exaggerating of course. It doesn’t even snow here… but […]
If you’re comparing online dermatologists, you should know that this review isn’t like the other YoDerm reviews out there. Why? Because I actually struggle with major skin problems, problems that require the help of heavy duty acne medication like Retin-A Micro. If you’ve read any of my other skincare posts, you already know I suffer […]
Kimonos: You see them front and center on all the mannequins at the mall these days. This popular summer fashion trend can be worn sheer, patterned, long or short and in any color you can imagine. With kimonos, the options are unlimited, but don’t let that overwhelm you. But I won’t lie, there is a right […]
It began when I started remembering who I am. Waking up after a long sleep. Unable to differentiate from the dreams and nightmares. What was real and what picassoed the fake. My senses are on their tiptoes. They have forgotten how to stand and plant their feet. Trying to regain stability. Feel. Everything. Remember. It […]
A rapidly growing trend with increasing applications and affordability, the wearable technology phenomenon may soon prove itself to be more than a passing fad. Most people, if they know anything at all of wearable technology, might think of a status symbol like the Apple Watch, or perhaps a mechanism to measure physical stats with exactitude. But as […]
Edgy outfits have a whole new meaning now. Remember when it was edgy just to wear all black? I do. I remember being chastised for my edgy outfits in adolescence. I was written up for wearing a black uniform shirt with black pants (my mom shut that down pretty quick, bless her.) We wore ironic crosses, […]
Before listing the many natural remedies that easily outshine Windex, I would like to point out the very important phrase, “everything in moderation.” What I mean by that is anything including water (life’s most important life source) in excess can kill or turn out being unhealthy for you. The most important thing anyone should know before […]
I picked this white shirtdress up from a thrift store a long while back (we’re talking 4+ years ago) and yet, I hardly ever got around to wearing it. I guess it just goes to show how I have a tendency to hold on to things that I don’t really need. But I’m not a hoarder… […]
I don’t know how to deal with having no pigment. Every day, more of my brown skin disappears and I’m forced to face the fact that I’m a white black person. While the psychological and identity-related implications of this change are overwhelming and difficult, the relatively superficial effects associated with this change are a bit […]
