Fearless Textures Tampa/Atlanta

Hey luvs!

Today I wanted to recap my Fearless Textures meet-ups in Tampa and Atlanta for you all.  My Tampa meet-up was back in May (I know, I’m way late), and me Atlanta meet-up was this past weekend.  I so enjoyed both events and wanted to share some highlights.

My Tampa Meet-up was held at Blue Martini.  I was supported by my family and friends and had the opportunity to meet some of my supporters as well. We talked  A LOT about hair health and products. I raffled off tons of goodies and everyone was super excited about their takeaways.

Fast forward to my Atlanta Meet-up this past weekend.  I was so excited for this meet-up to be held at the curlBOX headquarters office.  

As most of you know I am a huge supporter of this brand and their office space is simply amazing. They uploaded tons of snaps to snapchat through the event, some of which I included in this post.

The office itself is a great experience.  I got to meet some of my beautiful supporters and we talked about some of everything!  Natural hair in Corporate America, undercuts in corporate america, finding the right products, fearlessness and more.  It was so awesome.

I provided the opportunity for anyone who was interested to get cut up by my Fadeologist, Summer J The Barber. My sister decided to go for it!

After Summer J hooked up her new undercut I sacrificed the bobby pins from my hair and gave her a quick updo. 

I also raffled off lots of goodies.


The most talked about prizes had to be these amazing candles by Christian Ray Artisian Candles.


We spent some time talking about our fears and not allowing them to keep us from greatness. I gave everyone one of these bracelets as a simple reminder that they do not have a spirit of fear but of power, love and sound mind.

Overall I had an amazing time at both events! I am so glad I was able to meet some of my supporters. I love you guys so much! Well, that’s it for now.

XOXO,

Oh My Gloss!

Good morning beauties!

Typically when it comes to lip wear I opt for a matte finish but, when I saw the new Oh My Gloss lip colors by Rimmel I decided to try one out.  I picked up the color Pin Up at Walgreens where all of the colors are currently on sale (but 1 get 1 1/2 off). 


This color is a really pretty pink that gives a nice juicy finish. It goes on really soft and is NOT sticky, which was my biggest concern.  This color is super vibrant and screams summertime! 


So, for those days or nights I want to go a bit luscious I’ll definitely go for this product. As a matter of fact, I think I’ll go pick up a few more before the sale ends!


That’s it for now!

XOXO,

Stand Up Twist Out

Hey luvs!

A little late posting today, but I wanted to share this stand up twist out style with you guys. 


I wore this style when hubby and I were at the Essence Festival in New Orleans and got a lot of love on this look.


So much so that I decided to do a tutorial on exactly how I achieve this stand up hair. I absolutely adore this style. It’s bold and edgy and makes me feel fearless!

Life Update

Hey beauties!

I’ve been doing quite a bit of traveling over the past couple of months to Tampa, Vegas and then New Orleans. And, with planning my Fearless Textures tour and every day mommy and wife stuff I’ve been pretty busy. Then, on top of that, when I got back from New Orleans last weekend we all faced a week full of tragedies that took a big emotional toll on me and the rest of the world.

As a result of all of this I’ve been feeling a little disconnected from my luvs!

So, I just wanted to share a little life update video with you all.  If you want to check it out just click here.

Double Flat Twist Updo – Part II

Hey luvs!

Yesterday I decided to stick with my double flat twists but styles them completely different! I love the way they turned out.

For this look I sectioned the hair into two parts. One in the front and one in the back. I flat twisted both sections from right to left and secured them with bobby pins. That’s it! Super easy and super cute.

That’s it for now!

XOXO
