Valentine’s Day 2017

So, I’m usually not that girl. Valentine’s Day isn’t usually a big deal for me. If my husband got me some flowers and a cookie and cream Hershey bar I’d be completely content. This year I decided to do something different and actually care about Valentine’s Day. I wanted to get excited and plan an outfit for our dinner.

In a previous post, I posted some dresses that gave me some inspiration with the off the shoulder trend. I had been looking all over for the perfect off the shoulder top that wasn’t too revealing, because my shoulders are definitely not my best asset. For a full week I searched for possible contenders and finally found one with Society Plus. I paired the shirt with a flowery flare skirt and some blush colored Badgley Mischka heels. I felt so feminine and pretty in this outfit. I hope you guys like it and get some inspiration of your own. It doesn’t have to be Valentine’s to dress up. 

Society + is an online plus size retailer. Their clothes are very fashion forward and they offer choices for plus size shoppers that are often neglected by straight size retailers. Their sizing is absolutely true to size so there’s no big scary moment when you try it on. I collaborated with this on this outfit to show that plus is absolutely fabulous. Check out the links below to the items from my outfits along with other sale offers.

What Hair Characteristics ACTUALLY Matter?

Image
So many people are overly concerned about their curl pattern. I can’t even count how many YouTube videos and picture charts I have seen that are focused solely on one’s curl pattern to determine a hair regimen or product suggestions. 4C, 3A, 3C, 4A, 4B, etc.…is all quaternary in determining the best hair care practices and products.Outside of styling, this really is not a hair trait that is an important contributor to you overall hair health. The characteristics that are important are:

vThe diameter of your individual hair strands (coarse, normal, or fine).


vThe density of your hair. Simply put, how many individual hair strands you have on your head per square inch. A person with normal density has about 2,200 strands of hair per square inch.(The picture below is a great visual representation of varying degrees of density even though it is depicting wig densities)





vThe porosityof your hair (low, normal or high). Your hair porosity determines how your hair absorbs substances. Knowing this…

The Type of Natural Hair NOBODY Talks About!

Image
My hair is natural, so when I transitioned from relaxed hair to natural hair I consumed a steady stream of YouTube videos on how to care for my natural hair. I thought, “As soon as I grow my hair out, I’m going to be the newest Instagram natural hair baddie!” LOL.  I’m watching these girls with beautiful, thick natural hair doing these intricate hair styles, pineapples, and mini twists galore. Their results were beautiful and full. I thought that when I fully transitioned my hair would be able to do the same. Right? WRONG!!! Each time I attempted a style or tried a new product that was trending it always ended up being an epic fail! I would have more scalp showing than twists, there’s no “pine” in my pineapple, it’s just an apple and coconut oil is my mortal enemy.
See, I have the type of natural hair that no one ever talks about: Fine, low density, 3c/4a natural hair. It’s what most would broadly classify as “thin” hair. It’s genetic, I have hair just like my father. When I was younge…

Tracee Elliss Ross Collection for JCPenney

Image
When I heard that Tracee Ellis Ross was doing a clothing collection, I was ecstatic before I even saw the promos or campaign art. To me, Tracee Ellis Ross is a modern-day fashion icon. She takes risks with her fashion without ever being distasteful or clownish. From Girlfriend’s to Blackish, Tracee’s fashion sense has always been on trend, but timeless. Not only does her fashion sense have moments of playfulness, so does her personality. “Everyday Joy” is the running theme of her collection at JCPenney and it accurately depicts the essence of what we all love about Tracee, her joyful spirit!
Tracee thought of “Every Body” when it came to the design of her collection. The sizes range from Small-3X and yes curvy ladies, it’s standard plus size, not junior plus size. There is a price point for every budget ($17-$74). Her collection contains business and casual pieces, dressy pieces, a sequin party dress and night clothes. It also offers houseware pieces and accessories such as scarves a…
