As most of you know, I have an amazing opportunity coming up where I get to travel to Orlando, Florida for 5 days to speak at an event! I will be presenting and it will be a professional setting. However, all of my outfit ideas came to a screeching halt once I received the dress code. Casual, Bohemian, Denim, and Rock Star Chic? Is this a meeting or a vacation? Either way, I will not complain but this threw me for a loop and it did so for a lot of the other attendees as well. So what better way to help out by putting on my fashionista hat (that I always have in tout) and putting together a dress code guide for the entire event. Not to worry guys, I didn't leave you out this time!
I recently got invited to speak and host a Social Media breakout session and talk about the things that just come naturally to me. I thought that it would be a daunting task to get up in front of 30 people 3 times in one day to speak on something that I sort of fell into. However, as the event nears I'm becoming more and more confident in the valuable information I have to share.
Not everyone has had the courage to just fully jump on the social media train and "let it all hang out" sort of speak. When it comes to social media, I just express myself as if I were letting my little sister in on a secret. Completely me. Non-animated. Genuine to a fault. These are the same things I'm going to keep in mind when speaking to these people. I may have started from nothing, but I sure have made a way to start making a name for myself.
I love what I do. It comes natural. I have a passion for expressing myself unapologetically, giving insight on what I deem to work, and living aloud.
Ever wonder how to trim your own hair without getting it flat ironed? Well here's your answer, watch how I give myself a heatless hair trim!
Products Used:
+ Spray Bottle
+ Plastic Shower Cap
+ Hair Shears
+ Pure Castile Soap with Peppermint
+ Motions For Naturals Deep Conditioning Masque
+ Giovanni Direct Leave-In Conditioner
I decided to put some heatless curls in to get the most out of my flat ironed hair. Why not do all the styles you've been dying to do all year! My hair has been straight for a good 3 weeks so my roots were starting to convert back and curls are my go-to style to complement my frizzy natural hair.

Every week I will post a random message from my personal
dating profile and breakdown why the guy never got a response. I’m hoping to
maybe help women dodge the douche bags better and give the douche bags some
insight as well. Honestly a lot of them aren't even douche bags, they're just pure lazy. Whatever the case may be, I need documentation of this foolery for the world
to see. I will not disclose any of these gentlemen's faces for their protection, but some of these I absolutely have to include their usernames. (because they are fucking ridiculous) Thank me later!
This first one goes out to "Damnimback"... (silently ponder to yourselves)
Monday 2:21 pm (yes work hours)
Damnimback: Hey...How are you doing?
Would you like to get better acquainted over some frozen yogurt? ha ha If your remotely interested get back to me..
Me: (no response)
Okay let me give you guys a tad bit of background on me. I write for a living. That is my 9 to 5, bread and butter. I would not be doing myself any justice if I even entertained the thought of dating someone who could not spell or is grammatically illiterate. Cannot. Will not. So with that being said, points were taken off immediately. However, I know a lot of people are just lazy when it comes to little things like that, so I let him pass on that. He did not go left there, he steered into the caution zone when he asked the most simple yet overused question of all time on dating sites.
"How you doing?" Sounds a bit mean of me, no? But the truth is that they don't really care! Think about it, how many times have you asked that question and can honestly remember the person's response being something interesting? Anywho, he was quite cute and I didn't want to let him off the hook that easy so I read on... I believe the thing that stood out to me overall was his delivery. He did not sound sure of himself stating the words, "if your remotely interested". Guys have confidence! It doesn't matter if it's over the internet or in person, women flock to confidence.
That's all I have for today! Feel free to weigh in ladies and gents!
I had the pleasure of going to an SZA concert this past weekend
and I absolutely got my glitter-trap life. This woman is absolutely amazing
with a hint of hood, just how I like my own friends. I decided to go with the
theme of her aura and style my look based on her fun, tomboy yet totally
fashion-forward bravura.
There’s a place in LA called Jet Rag that always has this Sunday
sale where every item is $1. Yes…$1! I was a bit strapped for cash, so I was
determined to find my outfit for the concert at this place. Under the blazing
sun and 1 hour later, I stumbled upon this huge bright tie-dyed t-shirt.
Something about it spoke to me and I snatched it up! To make it completely my
own style, I cutoff the sleeves and wore it as a dress with cutoff denim shorts
underneath. I topped it off with layered girly necklaces to tone down the
boyishness of it all. I paired it with my Topshop lace-up platforms and my Ann
Taylor green fur vest. Yes girl, fur in LA! I included a snippet of my night
below! #getyolife
