Monochrome Flair Black & White

Monochrome dresses and skirts  have always been a staple in my wardrobe.  Stripe designs or intricate patterns flatter and enhance body shapes especially when done in classic black and white.  One of my recent purchases for spring is a jersey long sleeve mini dress by way of H&M.  This dress captures attention in a classic way and all for less than $25.   Below find a few more items I adore with a monochromatic flair.

Quick Wash And Go Tutorial For Natural Hair + Video

Many Dolls want to know what I use to manage my natural hair when I'm weave free.  I find it very important to keep my natural hair moisturized and use a few drugstore brands.  Below are my favorite go to products for a quick and simple wash and go.

Shea Moisture deep treatment masque works great as a leave in conditioner and this brand  has been one of my favorites for a few years now.  One of the key products I use for managing my natural hair is a good conditioner.  Tresemmé moisture rich conditioner makes detangling my hair a breeze and leaves my hair super soft.  Its affordably priced so I cause it in large amounts and frequently.  The Le Kair natural curls spray was a gift in a basket I received, so I'm not sure where you can pick it up.  It has quickly become a staple in my wash and gos because it rewets my hair and acts as a second line of conditioning.  Finally, the island oil by Rasta Locks & Twists is perfect for oiling my scalp.

Pose N Post Symposium With Chrisette Michele And Friends

One of the highlights of my April thus far has been an invitation by Miss Soul Songstress herself, Chrisette Michele to attend her event Pose n Post Symposium.  Bloggers, small business owners, and vloggers like myself, full of energy and positive vibes, networked over cupcakes and champagne.  There was an awesome panel of guest speakers which I was uber excited to meet.  The panel included the fabulous minimalist Fash better know as Lover_4Fashion, Naturalist and jewelry maker Brosia, self made multi-millionaire Courtney Adeleye of the Mane Collection products, and of course the beautiful Chrisette Michele.  The panel discussed different topics and gave their background stories on how they reached their level of success.  The Pose n Post Symposium was validation to follow my craft, continue along the path to build my brand and to grow from what I love.  It also made it possible to network with many ladies and meet a fellow NC blogger Kim of NaurallyFashionable, who is so kind spirited and down to Earth.  The highlight of the night was hearing the sultry, velvet sounds of Chrisette Michele in a live concert eek!  Her voice is smooth like butter and I feel in love with it all over again.  A video recap will be on my channel over this weekend, be sure to stop by and check it out.  This event was filled with tears of testimony, laughter and full of insight.  It was a reminder to stay true to yourself and never stop reaching for the stars because anything is possible

Makeup Eraser Really Does Work Review Video

Oh-em-geeeeee!  Excuse my excitement but I really am ecstatic about a product I was sent for review.    If you're anything like me you love makeup and wear it almost daily.  Typically, I would struggle with soap and water to wipe off makeup, sometimes I would be fancy and use my oil-based makeup remover to help take off my daily "mask".  I may even buy a few packets of makeup wipes, costing upward $20 a pack to use then toss away.  But NO MORE!  The Original Makeup Eraser solved all of my problems. You just add warm water to the eraser and wipe away your makeup, easy right?  The makeup eraser is eco-friendly and chemical free so it promotes healthy skin. The best thing about the makeup eraser is when it needs to be cleaned, it can just be tossed in the wash with other soiled washcloths. It can be used over 1000 times before replacing it, so the makeup eraser saves money.  Are you excited yet and ready to get your hands on one?  Check out the video below of me erasing my face.

Blooming Spring With Floral Trend

Florals are a beautiful way to add a feminine touch to any wardrobe.  The bright colors and romantic details are timeless and will always make for a beautiful look.  Whats not to love about floral print coordinates like the one gifted to me from Luxe Vain Boutique.  This look is easy to love because its simple.  The bold black stripe down the leg of the jogger pants and top creates a sense of sporty chic-ness.  My look of the day was complete with a nude ankle strap sandal and a matte pink lip. Running errands have never been more glamorous and I'm looking forward to styling these pieces separately in the future.
