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…
Working in a fast-paced, technical environment with professionals that have 10+ years of experience over you in the industry can present you with a piping hot plate of egos with a generous side of corporate politics.

There was this beautiful, lightweight, linen-esque fabric that I bought from Jo-Ann’s awhile back that I wanted to use for a cute ruffled top. At first, I wanted this shirt to have ruffles all over, but unfortunately my 2 yards of fabric didn’t want me to be great so I opted for a plan…

It occurred to me recently that I don't have many casual tops and I kind of rotate the same ones around. I had this idea to make a split back top with this material I had for ages that needed to be put to great use. Creating this shirt was easier than I presumed and…
