So, I've followed Koils by Nature for a while on IG before I actually purchased from them. I was in the market to look for a summer butter and I wanted to try something different. I didn't have to look too far as I remembered Koils.
Founded by owner Pamela J. Booker, Koils specializes in hair and body products and are vegan! How about that?
I heard rave reviews about the
So, I recently did a splurge on Bear's gift. He's an only child thus far so he often gets a lot of toys and really for no reason other than he's stinkin' adorable and Mommy and Daddy are saps.
This is a toy Maks and I were contemplating getting for Bear for quite some time. While I'm a little bummed I overspent on this toy (I found it elsewhere for
I think I just found a new favorite.
As I mentioned before, finding a great leave-in can be rather a chore. You have to have something that conditions your hair but is not overpowering or sticky. It's tough in these natural streets!
I found a great leave-in for not only myself, but really, for my entire family! Yeah, when I saw this works on all hair types, I sincerely mean that.
ALL.

So, mattes and bold colors are trending this year. Kinda odd if you think about it? Two shades that are on the opposite spectrums are trending and in a big way!
Recently, I had the honor to have enough money to do some splurging (and believe me, both colors were splurges) to go drop some cash at the local Sephora. Let's check out NARS first.
I'm a huge NARS fan. I
So, I'm sure you've heard by now the major faux pas done by Shea Moisture. If you haven't heard, here's a brief refresher:
They posted this ad, which is harmless on the front of it. Of course, the core Shea Moisture demographic are black women who look more like me and less like a biracial woman with Type 3 hair. And naturally, darker-skinned black women with Type 4 hair have
It's taken me some years to realize it but after not having a traditional job for several years now and no plans to go back to the working field yet, I like experimenting with my look.
Where I'm at, spiritually speaking, is different from where I was even a year ago. I'm finally at peace and accepted everything there is to accept. It's part of the long-term growing pains.
So, I
So yesterday, I posted my first article on Medium. Yay for expanding!
Anyway, I'll link to the article but here is the beginning of it. This story is dedicated to the good children, who kept their noses clean, never got into trouble, and still had to clean up the bullshit from their siblings.
This is for you, baby.
I’m sure everyone by now has heard of the story of the Prodigal Son.
For those who
This past weekend, we celebrated Easter here in L.A. and with my family back in Palm Springs.
The weekend before, we took photos with the Easter bunny:

(I told you I wasn't wearing black this time.)
First, Bear went on a field trip with his classmates (with Daddy supervising) to Audubon Center. Bear was rather impressed with a hut while he learned about different birds and plants.

Disclaimer: I received a complimentary sample of Eva NYC on behalf of Influenster. All opinions are mine.
Whenever I hear about a hair company that brags that their product is for all hair types, I'm skeptical. Let's face it, Type 4 hair isn't the same manageability as Type 2 or Type 3. Thick, coarse, and textured are usually the descriptions that come to mind.
So, when Eva NYC claimed they could
