August 30, 2011An Open Letter To My Tummy
As I write this, it’s dawning on me, we’ve been through a lot together. Damn homey!! I took you for granted back in college. Even as I watched you grow, I never thought we’d be where we are today. At this crossroads. I took up for you sooo many times, it’s ridiculous. It’s like I [...]

June 6, 2011Beauty Noir: What’s on My First Shelf This Season
The change of season brings not only a clean-up around the house (look for that post later tonight) but a much needed rearrangement of cosmetics in my bathroom. In the winter I tend to use heavier products and bust out my light stuff for these hot days of Spring & Summer. Here’s what’s making the [...]

January 31, 2011Be Still: The Sunday Night Bond
For as long as I can remember, I hated Sunday evenings as a child. Not only was it the end of the weekend but it also meant I had to get my hair done. While everyone else was playing or watching their last bit of television, I had to sit and watch something educational in [...]

January 27, 2011What’s In My Bag
I carry lots of things in my purse and after I’ve given something a try, I swap it out for a new find. So I will start sharing when something I added is worth telling you folks. Here’s this week’s raves: 1. This winter has been extremely tough on my hands so I had to [...]

December 31, 2010In The Year 2010
I don’t have any complaints about this year. I lived, loved and laughed-alot. I spent most of it pregnant and I’m a bit ashamed that I wasn’t ecstatic about being pregnant at first but hey, I’m human. We normally stay home for our NYE festivities and it shall remain that way tonight. Here’s what the [...]

September 29, 2010Culture Noir: Mortar & Pestle
I picked this tool up while I was in Trinidad and although my mom uses her to make pound plantain, I recently found another use for it which doesn’t involve food-well to eat at least. Every now and then, I like to give myself a facial involving some sort of mask. I did some research [...]

September 20, 2010Noir Giveaway: Clarisonic / Philosophy Value Set
I’m trying to figure out if this is my biggest giveaway to date. I wanted to have this up last week but I was soooo tired and there’s no time like the present, so here it is! With all of the back to school festivities, I haven’t had a chance to go for my facial [...]

August 25, 2010A Twist on The Tool Bag
I recently purchased this tool bag for my surplus of make-up brushes I bought. Keep in mind I have absolutely no clue what I’m doing with make-up but that’s no reason the purchases can’t look cute as I tote them around. I fell in love with the canvas and leather look of this bag. It’s [...]

August 4, 2010About Face: Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Oil
I can’t stop raving about it! You know I’m on a mission to have my skin looking healthy so I’ve been educating myself and reading up on what should be done. I also have been on this new mantra-say it with me-”Prevention Not Cure”. If I start my regimen early in life, my skin will be [...]

July 21, 2010Fab Find: Smashbox Cosmetics O-Glow
I think I mentioned somewhere on here that I’m on a refresh and renew campaign. It paused when I found out I was pregnant but it’s back on now. Lately, I have been adding a little pizazz (my word for make-up) to my regular look. I have been buying a ton of products and trying [...]
