Let me just preface this I love Tracee Ellis Ross.
I've followed her career for years and I love just about everything she does. I also love how open, free, and funny she is. She's a fashion maven and just an incredibly all-around good person.
That being said, it pains me to say her Pattern hair care product line really, truly f*cking sucks.

I hate giving bad reviews to products I wanted to love, especially if those products are raved by many others. I really hate giving bad reviews to products that were expensive because a girl feels like she just wasted her damn money.
But here I am.
Looking for a new moisturizer for my skin in this tough winter, I decided to do a splurge and get the highly raved
My Christmas tree has never been traditional one color or another. Even when I went through my purple phase, I had silver, gold, white, and clear ornaments to offset all of the purple.
Every year, I like to add a Christmas ornament to the tree that we didn't have before. Whether it's something funny, sentimental, or an inside joke, I just like having something there that represents a time
This year, we've been pretty conservative with our money. While we've adjusted to buying more in bulk, we've also been very careful on what we spend on. We've cut out a lot of needless spending and just been more thoughtful about it.
When it comes to your birthday, however, you do need to ball out. I mean, it's your birthday! Why not?
I was going to treat myself to Tory
Sometimes, protesting doesn't mean going to a protest. You can also protest with your dollars.
In light of everything going on, I decided to refocus my attention to supporting my community more and investing into Black women-owned businesses. Now before the 'All Lives Matter' headasses make their way onto here, Black women need support. That's all I'm saying.
Here are my new favorite Black-owned brands I'm recommending!

Over the past several weeks, I've tried new products on my Type 4 hair and on Bear's Type 3 hair. They all are Black-owned brands and specifically catered to curly and coily hair. One product was amazing, one could've been better, and one, I don't think I would recommend to anyone anytime soon.
Let's Go!

I love supporting just about anything that is Black-owned and being a cheap wine connoisseur, I was looking for a Black-owned wine to support!
In support of Black-owned brands, I was super jazzed to see the McBride Sisters' brand at my local Total Wine and More. I'm usually a cheap wine gal - under 7 dollars is usually my jam - but I decided to "splurge" on this brand.
We put Bear back into swimming this year because he needed to do something other than being at home all day and binging out on Roblox. For the life of me, I still have no idea what the hell Roblox is but I digress.
About a week ago, Bear started swimming and well, for the sake of puns I love so much, everything was going swimmingly. *ba dum tss!*

I've always burned sage. I was introduced to it many years ago by a woman at my job. She was a bit eccentric but she was a sweet woman. Very spiritual.
Since then, I've always burned it to cleanse my home from wicked and evil spirits. I don't know if it's working but I can't say it's not. I will say, however, I haven't had anyone I don't want
Several weeks ago, my old high-school friend, Stephanie, sent me a care package. I meant to do this review sooner but then the pandemic happened and I also got a job. Crazy.
Anyhoo, let's talk about the Monat hair care system. It's not available in any store. Not Ulta. Not Sephora. Not even Macy's or anything high-end.
I have to keep it real with y'all. Monat is a MLM
