    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

    Small Business Saturday: KWEEN Cosmetics

    Hi everyone! I couldn't let Small Business Saturday pass by without sharing a company I'd been dying to try. I first found KWEEN Cosmetics on Twitter via the makeup world, and came to find out it was Brown/Latina owned, so you know I was eager to share it with you all! I was blessed in that Maria, the owner, beat me to the punch and was generous enough to send me a package! KWEEN Cosmetics was just launched earlier this year, is cruelty free, and serves to provide makeup for

    15 T-Shirt Brands Every Afro-Latina Needs In Her Closet

    I like making lists. For everything. Christmas gifts. Lippies I want to try. Books I need to get my hands on. And t-shirts. I've acquired a plethora of tees throughout my life, but as I ventured into this journey of identity seeking, I figured it was right to make a list of t-shirts I should rock. I've accumulated a wholeeee lot of companies and shirts on this list, and I thought I'd share some with you all, especially now that the holidays are coming up! Not all of my flagge

    Nola Skinsentials: Becoming a #NolaBabe

    It is officially autumn. Which means, it's getting cold. No more being naturally hydrated by the humidity outside, but rather welcoming the dry, cold air of winter. Our skin's worst nightmare. This year I told myself that I would make it my mission to get both my husband and I on a skincare routine. I follow a few companies on social media and decided on one in particular for our new skincare journey. I wanted to make sure it wouldn't kill my pockets, but that it was somethin

    MIZIZI: Streetwear for the Diaspora

    Hey guys! Welcome back! Let me just say - I get so excited when I find dope things on social media because it means I get to share it with you guys! Today I'm going to share MIZIZI, an awesome streetwear brand that you may or may not have seen on social media this past month. MIZIZI was actually brought to my attention by one of my friends. He sent me an Instagram post via DM about their upcoming Afrolatinx collection and said, "Cop cop cop." LOL and of course I started plott
