This year one of my goals was to make progress on my hair journey. Oh, and to become lil miss keep her hair done LOL. I got my first sew-in back in January, and recently decided to try doing my sew-in maintenance myself at home. I feel like it's important for me to know how to maintain my hair myself, so I did my research. I'm happy to report my wash day (using a few Cécred hair products[...]

Have you ever tried a foundation and felt like it looked a little orange? Chile, me too. The NARS Soft Matte Complete foundation is my ALL TIME FAVORITE. It looks flawless in person, in photos (especially when mixed with the Pat McGrath foundation), and it's super long-lasting. I've yet to try a foundation that tops it. My only bit of constructive criticism is that there needs to be a sha[...]
A week after getting my hair done at the salon, I needed a lil touch-up. Since I'm rocking a straight style, I just wanted to smooth out a couple of bumps in my hair and to touch up my roots (I had sweat them out a tiny bit in my sleep). Here's how I flat iron my hair to refresh my sew-in (check out this post for details on the hair I have installed). You can find everything I used to tou[...]
This year on my birthday, I spent the day doing self-care. I knew I was going to wear a casual outfit, but I still wanted to be cute. And let folks know it's my birthday LOL. So I did a quick DIY and made a rhinestone "B-Day Girl" T-shirt. It was super easy to do, and you can use any shirt you already own. Here's how I made my shirt, check out my TikTok below to see the full tutorial![...]
I was looking for a better way to store some of my favorite purses, and this acrylic purse organizer from Amazon was perfect.

Purse Organizer !(function(w, i, d, g, e, t) { if (!d.getE[...]
For my birthday this year, I did a photoshoot inspired by Cinderella. Specifically, Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella starring Brandy. This is my favorite version of the Cinderella movie, and in this next chapter of my life, I'm trusting God for impossible things. So for this photoshoot, I needed to find the perfect dress that made me feel just like Cinderella. Would you believe I got[...]
I really wanted a pink heart cake for my birthday this year. When I heard that you can get a heart cake from Walmart for the low, I had to check it out. The Walmart heart cake is 10" and you can customize it based on some options they give you. Edible glitter was one of the things I added to mine, and in total I paid a little under $29. It's important to note that you do need to pre-o[...]
I celebrated my birthday over the weekend, and of course, I wanted a glam pink birthday outfit. My celebratory plans consisted of dinner with friends, so I wanted a nice dinner outfit. I got this pink deep plunge dress with rhinestone trim from Fashion Nova a while back, and it was the perfect birthday outfit. I wore it in a size medium, but it was a bit big on my chest. In hindsight, I n[...]
If you've been wondering if flexirods or a heatless curling rod were better for maintaining your curls overnight, I tested both so you don't have to. I recently got a sew in, and I want to find the best way to wrap it at night to maintain my curls (as pictured above). While I'm no stranger to flexirods, I'd never tried a heatless curling rod. I tried both in my hair for heatless overnight[...]
