Jordan Richardson

Now here's a model I've been seeing everywhere. I love that she has worn her hair unstraightened and out as a model, I'm seeing that more and more from other models, too. I love it!

Alek Wek

This is Sudanese super model, Alek Wek. She is an inspiration to me, not only because of her unique style, but also because she is true to herself. Some of my closest friends are Sudanese, and I am learning Arabic at the moment. I love my friends, and to me it is sad that people would rather make their beautiful skin seem like a defect rather than the wonderful characteristic it is.

I think many African Americans struggle with feelings of self-hate as far as thinking the lighter the better, or the straighter/longer the better. I love variety, it would be a boring world with out it.

Spring!

I'm very happy to be seeing grass again. We got hit pretty hard with snow here in the midwest as did the rest of the country. I can't wait until the summer comes and I can get in the pool!

One of the perks that goes along with being natural us being able to get your hair wet without it ruining your do!

So if you're transitioning keep that in mind :)

Big Chop

Check out this video I made about the big chop. It answers questions like how long to transition, who should do your cut, and styles you can do.

Brrr...Broke!

So I'm broke and I've been looking at some options for cute things to wear at bargain prices.

I stumbled across lx3lally's videos and she has a lot cute ideas. One of her recent videos is about Winter Fashion Ideas. So if your broke like me, or just want to look at some cute outfits for the winter check her out on YouTube!

Yummy and Healthy!

I had a wonderful lunch on Sunday :)

If you have a Pepperjax in your city you should definitely try their rice bowls. Since I am going vegetarian I love the fact the Pepperjax has such a filling vegetarian rice bowl.

You can choose what you want to be included in your bowl, black beans, jalopenos, mushrooms, green peppers, onions, pinto beans, your choice of sauces and cheeses...it's just wonderful!

Another great place to get a quick bite to eat is Taco Bueno. I love their black bean burritos. Their good size, stuffed with rice, black beans, tomatoes, and onion. I also like to eat them with their chunky salsa and cheese nachos.

So I thought I'd share my healthy fast food options! Try them they are delicious!

Corinne Bailey Rae--Natural Inspiration!

I love Corinne Bailey Rae's music, style, but especially her hair. I've been called her look-a-like, people thought her picture was me when I posted it as my profile picture on facebook. I was surprised how much her hair has grown since I last saw pictures of her. The short curly look has blossomed into a beautiful mane! I hope I will get to that length one day.

Check out her new album "The Sea"!
