Summer is the time I think most women like to experiment with their looks. One, it's too hot to be doing anything heavy. Second, sun-kissed is the way to go. Let that melanin shine (and if you don't have a lot of melanin, get your tan on!).

Mixed Chicks recently came out with a makeup line and I have to say,
I debated writing this post. Sometimes, I prefer to air my grievances with someone or an organization privately and without drama. But sometimes you need to call someone out on their bullshit so here we go.
I was originally scheduled to speak at a panel regarding Parenting with Difference: Multiracial and Families of Transracial Adoption in Conversation. Yeah, it's a mouthful but that's not my grievance.
For starters, the panel was big; too big. I
Lately, I've had twins on my mind. Not that I want twins. Not that I don't want twins. But when you have several people in your life recently give birth to twins, well, you start thinking about them. Can I handle double the diapers? Double the crying? Double the food bill?
I mean, it's all fun and games until you receive that first pediatric bill.
I recently had a dream where
I recently learned a valuable lesson - just because a brand is particularly good in a few areas, they aren't necessarily good at everything.
Oh, Pantene...why thou forsake me and turn my hair into paper?
Yeah, it's that bad. Let's begin...
The Consistency:
For what it's worth, it's creamy and smooth. It does smell great.
The Cost:
Very cheap. I paid a little over $6 for this one. It's available pretty much everywhere.
The Routine:
I used it
I'm so sorry for the lack of posts here. With the past holiday weekend and what have you, I just haven't had any time! But now I do, so let's get busy -
Just a friendly reminder - I am speaking at the MixedRemixed Festival this year! I'll be speaking on the panel regarding Parenting with Difference: Multiracial and Families of Transracial Adoption in Conversation. So, if you're in the L.A. area,
So, I'm starting another element in this blog by reviewing books. I'm an avid reader and I don't typically read romance books (though, that's what I write). Here, I'll share my reviews of the books via video. I'm currently attempting to read Going Postal by Terry Pratchett (I say attempting because I've been reading this book on and off for the past several years and can just never quite

For this week's biracial/mixed hair care review, we're checking out Dream Kids' Olive Miracle Instant Moisturizing Detangler (whew, that's a mouthful!).
Dream Kids is made by African Pride, a brand I'm very familiar with. This detangler contains water as the main ingredient, shea butter, Vitamin E, and aloe vera. The following oils are included: olive, coconut, grapeseed, jojoba, avocado, wheatgerm, and
I'd never done a post on my wash n' go routine because I'm still perfecting it. Also, I like to try different products, be it something I actually purchased or a sample to use in my routine.
So, this is my first-ever (eek!) post on my wash 'n go routine. Once I figure out how to mount a camera in my bathroom, I'll do a video post of this.
Now we
Over the weekend, we went to Fire Service Day at the Beverly Hills Fire Department. It was a lot of fun! We got to ride in a fire truck (which is a lot bigger and a bit more difficult to get in than I imagined). We met some super cool firefighters, and got to know our (semi) local Fire Department! We missed the demonstrations they did but it was
Trying to incorporate Russian while I'm learning it myself is quite the task.
I'm a native English speaker. I know a little Spanish, but wouldn't consider myself fluent. I can carry a light conversation without the use of Google translate (too much).
So, learning Russian is a task. It's a fun one, albeit challenging at times. I try to have one solid hour each day of teaching Bear Russian since all he
