Knits and Thighs!!



(Tsesay Sweater/ Thigh highs purchased in Barcelona/ Tibetan bracelets & rings/ Hand piece)

Been having a lot of GNOs(Girls night out) And thank goodness for that!! No offense to all my male buddies out there..but I've just been having tiffs with some of the testosterone in my life. I still love all my dudes, but I've recently just taken on a deeper appreciation for all the females in my life. I'm totally on this woman..female empowerment tip:) And bonding with the ladies is always delightful! Love all you gorgeous people from Venus:)

Hair Therapy


So...I'm that girl you'll find at the hair salon asking the hairdresser a ton of questions, because I want to be able to achieve that same shiny,bouncy,& voluminous hair you get leaving that place at home. But, I always find hairdressers reluctant to reveal all their secrets..and I get it...it makes you come back & that means more business for them. Luckily, I have a friend who is currently studying cosmetology at Paul Mitchell School and has always been into hair care. She was sweet enough to do a house call coloring job for my cousin and I..and thankfully she gave me the scoop of her fave products. Since this is the time of giving..I thought...Why not share the wealth :)

1. Joico - Her favorite shampoo is the K-Pac Reconstructor. I normally use sulfate free shampoos..this is NOT, but I am still a fan. Bought the professional size because it was on sale at Cosmo Prof.
2. S Factor- Her second favorite shampoo and conditioner. I recommend alternating products, because over time..like all products..the hair gets use to it & becomes less effective. This is also NOT sulfate free, but did not weigh my hair down and made it look fuller. I have not yet tried the S Factor Serious Conditioner but its a hair glaze that hydrates and adds shine. It's an intensive hair remedy that should be used weekly and she swears by it.
3.Paul Mitchell- Never really used Paul Mitchell products but these are def winners in my book. For all my friends out there who want that beautiful shiny hair after it's been processed time and time again...well this is the solution to all your problems -PM Shine mixed with PM Shine Processing Liquid-I just dyed my hair red and threw the PM Shine in Ruby Slippers(Comes in multiple shades) and wow!!! It def made my hair more vibrant! A must have for me now!! Super Strong Liquid Treatment- Another must have!! Spray on after shower and it helps to detangle. Super Strong Treatment-I have not yet used this product, but it should be used once a week. It's filled with protein to help restore damaged hair. Ink Works- I have not yet used this product either, but my friend who recommended it adds it to her red hair, and it acts as an instant hair dye boost. It is made of pure vegetable protein and deposits the color back into hair. Can't wait to throw it in my hair once my color starts to fade. Gotta love that natural boost!

Mean Streets of L.A. Baby!!

(Vintage Corset top/ F21 Harem pants/ Vintage Belt)
I spent this past Saturday all over different parts of my hometown in beautiful Los Angeles. I always feel like getting a bit more sassy for the streets of L.A. so I threw on an all black number..Unfortunately, you can't see the bare back in any of the photos but it's a sexy lace corset I came up on in a vintage store. Remember to only reveal one part of your body...so if your back is bare,definitely keep the bottom half covered to keep it clean and classy... I chose harem pants to keep it fuunnkky:)

Sweet Tooth


I don't eat too much sweets because I really try to keep a healthy diet, but a week before that time of the month...all bets are off and you will find me indulging on whatever it is I'm craving. So..call me the cookie monster this month. These Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are what you will find on deck in my pantry when I need that sweet tooth fix. They are from Trader Joe's and still a lot more healthy than most cookies.. I always try to just eat one but good luck with that..SUPER YUMMERS!!
