My First Time Trying New Illustrator Software

I tried out a new illustrator for the first time a few days ago, and I'm hooked. It took a little getting used to.. but I think I did pretty good for a beginner. Excited to see where this goes. I love trying new mediums to express my creativity. It's my favorite way to spend my free time. 

Updated: '40(ish) Days of Curls' Product Overhaul

I've been saying I was going to do an updated product overhaul for a while now. My last one was almost two years ago (horrible, I know). Now that I'm well into my natural hair journey I pay much closer attention to what I choose to use in my hair, and I'm even more selective because my hair is color treated (alcohol is a no no). These products have worked wonders on trying to maintain my hair's health as well as regaining length that was lost in my transition. (I use the word transition lightly because I've always been natural.. I use it to refer to the time when I stopped heat abusing my hair every two weeks and switched to wearing my curls first time.) I arranged the products in the order that I use them, and the coconut oil can be used as both a pre-poo and to seal ends.

Weekend Recap: Pink Ambition, DominiqueDaDiva.com And the "Under the Influence" Tour

...And what a weekend it was!

This week I found myself in Norfolk, Va to support my friend/sorority sister/radio personality extraordinaire Dominique for the launch of her website DominiqueDaDiva.com! I sat in on an interview with Young Jeezy, attended the "Under The Influence Tour," (Wiz is a rockstar) and rounded out the weekend with the launch brunch/day party. I had a great time. Girl's nights/ weekends are so necessary. I'm looking forward to this (Cali) and next week (The B-Word screening). Four weeks of summer left. What will you do with yours?
