A timeless fashion to consider sporting is the boyfriend blazer look. It does a great job of mixing feminine with masculine in a fun and flirty way. It works for all body types, and it also works for all seasons, which is a major plus! Here…

The Road to success is not straight

There is a curve called failure

A loop called confusion

Speed bumps called friends

Red lights called enemies

Caution lights called family

You will have flats called jobs, 

 

But, if you have a spare called determination

An engine called perseverance

Insurance called faith

A driver called God

You will make it to a place called…

Just because it’s winter doesn't mean that you have to trade your fashionable shoes for a pair of boring snow boots. You can keep your feet warm, toasty, as well as fashionable!

Boots are a must if you want to rock fashionable, warm footwear this season. Here are some of my faves:…

So, I'm happy to say that the scale has finally been kind to me since I've dedicated myself to a fitness regimen. Since I've started the regimen, I've lost a total of 10 pounds! I'm really excited about it. Here's what I've been doing since my last update a few days ago:

After the whole washing/conditioning process, I decided not to do a braidout (I wanted a change) and did a blowout instead (without flat iron work afterwards). 

How I did it: I prepped my hair with "It's a 10 Miracle Leave In" spray. I wrapped my…

Okay guys, so here goes~~~ I have been servicing  a "Gina Curl" to one of  my client for a  few years now. When she first came to me she had a Wave Nuevo in her hair. She was very unhappy with the damaged that was being caused by the improper technique, that she decide to do her research on the web and was directed  to my site. She searched around  and came across my Technique called the  "Gina Curl" and decide to read up.  She loved the idea that she could wear her hair curly…
