Current Favorites – Early Spring 2018

March 28, 2018

I can’t believe March is over! It really flew by. Here is a round up of my favorites from the month.

Four Sigmatic Coffee – Lions Mane & Chaga – I can’t drink coffee on a daily basis, but when I do drink it at home and not in a coffee shop, I like Four Sigmatic Mushroom Coffee. If you want to find out more, check out this Four Sigmatic mushroom coffee review!

Vatika Oil (Coconut Hair Oil) – I’ve rediscovered how much I like using Vatika oil as a pre-poo treatment before washing my hair. Vatika Oil is basically coconut oil with Henna and other herbs mixed in that you can purchase from your local Indian Grocery Store or online.

Curls Lavish Curls Spray Moisturizer -I’m always on the hunt for leave in conditioning sprays for refreshing my hair for twisting and styling. This is my current go-to.

Giada Braided Faux Leather Satchel – Sole Society – I’ve given my go-to black tote a rest and am using a gray one in honor of lightening up colors for Spring.

50mm Round Sunglasses Nordstrom I’ve found that round sunglasses suit my face shape, I wore round sunnies like this on my trip earlier this month to Mexico City.

The Kyoto Earrings – One Story – Moorea Seal Store – I’m loving statement gold earrings like these lately. They go with everything and look nice with hairstyles of all types.

Pacifica Island Vanilla Perfume – I’m still on a quest for a signature scent for Spring and Summer, I don’t think this one is the one I’ll land on but I still like it.

River Island Tailored Boy Blazer – Yellow – ASOS – So I don’t have this specific blazer, I actually dyed a blazer myself a bright yellow and have been wearing it regularly this month to brighten up my wardrobe despite the fact that it’s too early in the season to wear my warm weather favorites.

Palo Santo – I’ve taken to lighting some Palo Santo to cleanse the energy of myself and my home on a regular basis.

Podcasts to Listen to Now – Part IV

February 27, 2018

Podcasts remain my go-to way to while away my commute time. Every few months I’m adding and sometimes subtracting defunct podcasts from my list. In case you are looking for some interesting podcasts to add to your queue, see my current must-listen list below.

Thirst Aid Kit – This podcast is like the best of the exhaustive convos you’d have with your single friends (when you actually have the time) about your crushes. I love the fact that they write a piece of fan fic for each episode that listeners can weigh in on to choose their favorites. I’m not even gonna admit how long I spent scrolling through the podcast’s Tumblr…Must-Listen Episode: Can’t Choose One…Listen to the entire first season!

 

On She Goes – It’ not so easy to find travel and lifestyle content that revolves specifically around women of color and that’s why I enjoy this podcast. The short vignettes of travel tips from a women of color perspective and and interviews of women of color have definitely inspired me to add a few destinations to my travel bucket list. Must-Listen Episode: Season 2 Episode I Can’t Get My Hair Wet

 

Hey Girl Podcast – Self-care, inspiring and sometimes poignant stories on loss, love and everything in between from interviewees, encompass this podcast. I’ve been following Alex Elle on IG for a while and was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoy her thoughtfully done podcast. Must-Listen Episode: Episode 16: Dana on Self-Awareness Through Yoga

 

 

The Naked Beauty Podcast Hosted by Brooke Devard – Beauty, Fashion, Skincare are some of my favorite content topics so of course I’d enjoy this podcast that revolves around those topics! Brooke, the host of this podcast has really interesting guests. Must-Listen Episode: Moving Beyond #BlackGirlMagic Ft. Lindsey Day (Founder of CRWN Magazine)

 

 

The Nod – This podcast ells the stories of Black life that don’t get told anywhere else.These podcast episodes are well produced and I usually end up learning some little known fact about notable figures in history. Must-Listen Episode: Ready, Set Buy Black

January 29, 2018

As time goes by, I become more aware of how to re-purpose my clothing in order to give it more life rather than throwing or giving it away. For years, I’ve done this easy DIY (it’s honestly so easy I don’t even like to call it a DIY).
