    RESPECT

    First thing's first. Rest in peace, Aretha Franklin. To be honest ... my Dominican-American, yet not quite Dominican or American self never really listened to her, growing up. To the point where I could possibly tell you if a song was hers, but ... not really? I know, lol ... it's bad. Anywho .. this blog post isn't about my Black card revocation or anything. It's about respect. I don't think I'm the only one who's noticed the complete disregard for personal space and feeling

    This World is Not for Us

    Hey guys! It's been a while, but blogging takes some serious brain power, lol. Also, it's difficult when you have so many ideas and can't even wrap your head around how to go about them! For today's post, I figured we'd have a little #STORYTIME. So, earlier this year, I went to participate in a research study with a company whose name shall NOT be revealed. I arrived at the place, signed in, checked my vision, and headed on to the back. This was an EEG study, so I took off my

    Everywhere Hair Care

    Finding natural hair beauty brands can be very difficult, especially with all the hype surrounding the top selling brands on social media. Small businesses are making their way up, proving that their handmade products work just as well as the ones you see in the natural hair markets. Everywhere Hair Care, founded on October 31, 2016, uses all-natural ingredients in their products, and have created formulas that make your hair look great and keep it healthy. The founder is ori

    Wrap it Up

    In our quest for natural hair products, it's only fitting that we come across natural hair accessories such as pillow cases, bonnets, turbans, and head wraps. For many of us, we find that African print is the way to go (because it is, duh). As you may or may not know, there are lots of head wrap companies out there, and one day - while Google searching "black owned head wrap companies" - I came across Loza Tam (on a website which I can't recall, at the moment) . I followed th

    "I Hated My Hair"

    I have a younger sister who is fifteen years old. She looks just like me, and she's enjoys unicorns, baking, and YouTube. There might be a few more things I missed, but she'll live. She had a paper due in school this week about a personal crossing or a journey that changed how she lives or perceives things, and she mentioned that she was going to mention her natural hair journey. She's never had a relaxer, but still struggled with accepting her natural hair until recently, as
