I ran across something amazing last night. I think it was intentionally meant for me to find and listen to. This thought comes to mind every now and then. I want my readers to know that I am real in every aspect. Yes, I love hair, makeup and clothes but who am I really? What are the things that mean the most to me? Do I reflect that? I asked myself these questions as I looked on to read, listen and discover. This first step is knowledge in whatever you do. You cannot thoroughly complete something if you do not know its origin or what it even is. I take on the challenge of myself. To dissect, poke and prod at who Tia is. What makes me great, what makes me weak, what makes me beautiful...what makes me ugly. Will you join my challenge? If you do, I suggest you start with watching the below video of Dr. Joy DeGruy. I lovely soul with knowledge. This presentation is for everyone, all walks of life.
I find it very re-assuring to have accomplished what I have
thus far given my upbringing. I'm from a speck off the coast of Lake Michigan,
a town most affiliated with detriment and hard times. Bright-eyed and focused,
I saw myself outside of that confinement sipping a Moscow Mule while chatting
it up with my fashionable buddies right on Melrose Ave. I made the mistake of
disclosing my dreams to a few. They smirked at me with amusement and disbelief.
I wonder where are they now, what are they doing, who are they with and what
are they wearing?
Hey luvs, so I decided to do a style series on my everyday looks. It's nothing too special because I am mostly going to work in them hence the title. Living in LA I like to keep it modern but simple. For the weather here, it would be a great transitioning to or out of winter look. Enjoy!
This week's list is dedicated to Gwen Stafani. Ever since I saw her first roll out of LAMB pieces I died. She is forever taking risks with prints (especially with stripes and plaids), you are fierce and impeccable! We could all use a bit of fearless inspiration in our lives. Here's your special serving of Mixed Blood...
Let’s talk hair. I found that it’s not too easy being a
natural girl in this day in age. I’ve tried sew-ins, box braids, braid outs,
twist outs, wash and go’s and now my latest venture…crochet braids. But these
aren’t your typical crochet braids that usually come in a style or curl
pattern. I found a new technique that includes Marley hair, curl rods and little to no money. The
general process is to install, detangle/blowdry and curl them. I saw a few reviews and
decided to leave out hair around the perimeter of my hair. Overall the installment
was very easy, the only thing dreadful is the detangling and curling process.
What a tedious task! However my end results were amazing and very versatile.

Hi dolls! I recently started my first YouTube channel! Below is a rough cut of my intro video. I plan to get better with editing as well as a new camera very soon.

You will find natural hair care, beauty, style hauls, music reviews and more on this channel so look out for your girl! Anywho, I hope you guys enjoy! xoxo, Thee Pinkist
