Head Wrap Side Fro Tutorial + Video

Head Wrap Side Fro Tutorial + Video

Who knew a style as simple as this would turn into my go to hairstyle for evenings out during the summer? Since May, I’ve been wearing my hair braided down. This allows me to switch things up with ease as well as gives my hair a break from constant manipulation. All it takes is a your favorite curly wig and a bomb headwrap. I wore this look for the Fourth of July and switched up the head wrap to wear it to an event last Thursday.  I’ve purchased all of my head wraps from small online shops, and of late…

I’m A Card Carrying HeadWrap Lover. Plus Where to Buy!

I have several products in my makeup stash that I can use to sculpt and glow, but when you receive a Highlight and Contour Kit from Kevyn Aucoin, you have to check it out.

The Best Inexpensive Face Cream

This post is sponsored by Olay, but all opinions are my own. Can you look like a million bucks, and not spend all your money doing it? This would be considered a #QTNA. When I was younger, I thought that the only way to look good was to have nice things like clothes, shoes, or a fly hairdo. Skincare was something I wasn’t concerned about, as long as I didn’t have crazy breakouts I was all good ya’ know. Oh and washing my face every night, that definitely didn’t happen.

Make Up Wars: My Favorite Heat Resistant/Waterproof Makeup Products

Make Up Wars: My Favorite Heat Resistant/Waterproof Makeup Products

I’m not one of those women that just dives in a pool with a face full of makeup on. Heck, If I’m getting into a pool you can believe that I’ve thought things out in advance to make sure I don’t have any beauty snafu’s while in the water. Typically one would come armed with waterproof products, but let’s be real, beyond Mascara it can be hard to find products that are waterproof. Waterproof products aren’t only good for pool days, but they are able to hold up to the heat and humidity without melting off your face. For today’s…
