Living Life Fearlessly and Without Hesitation
With my schedule getting pretty busy these days, I tend to opt for simple styling of my locs like wearing them bone straight with a simple retwist. However, I wanted to switch things up and get some body in my locs and give it a little more oomph, so I opted for a loose loc…
With the New Year just a few days away, I had a goal to squeeze in just one more sewing project to give me that added boost to take over the sewing game in 2018. After scouring through my saved pins on Pinterest I came across this gorgeous dress that was unique, classy and fun.…

It has been a serious minute since I last posted so please pardon my absence. My blog started to kick off right before I started my new job and since working, I've found it to be extremely difficult to physically and mentally get back into the groove I once had.

Can I just say that I am proud of this girl (*points to self*) for completing her very first sewing project EVER! May not be a huge deal for you but it is for me, especially as someone who is a creative and has the awful habit of starting something and not seeing it through…
