4/8 Edited to

... Read moreLately, I've been experimenting with mixing different textures in my natural hairstyle, and I have to say, the combination of wavy pieces in the front with straight hair in the back has totally grown on me. It offers such a fresh and dynamic look compared to sticking to just one texture throughout. One thing I love about having those wavy front strands is how they frame my face with softness and a natural bounce, bringing more life and personality to my hairstyle. Meanwhile, the straight hair at the back keeps the style sleek and easy to manage, creating a nice contrast that's both effortless and stylish. For those with natural hair who’ve mostly stuck to curls or waves only, I highly recommend trying this hybrid style. It adds dimension to your look without the need for heat or heavy styling products. Plus, it celebrates the natural diversity of your hair’s textures! Maintaining this style is straightforward too. I usually refresh the waves in front with a little water and light mousse, while keeping the straight back detangled and smooth with a gentle leave-in conditioner. It’s a perfect balance between low maintenance and chic. Trying this out gave me a new appreciation for embracing all parts of my hair’s natural characteristics instead of forcing it into one shape. It’s an empowering reminder that beauty comes in many forms, and sometimes mixing things up unlocks a whole new vibe you didn’t expect to love so much.

Why I Left The US
Moving to the UK wasn’t random for me. It was an answered prayer that had been building since October, honestly even before that. People don’t talk enough about the cycle of constant ambition, especially in the self-employed/entrepreneur space in the US. It’s not a bad thing, but it is a differe

FAITH + MOTIVATION: Why God separates you
I used to get so uncomfortable with this. Every sphere God put me in, whether gym, skateboarding, photo + fashion industry (God allowed me to do them all) I was always the one that stuck out. Not like a sore thumb, but the one that God separated. I never understood why, but as the years have go

No, no, I’m not cheating or anything, but yes, I still date my husband! Once you’re married- especially with kids- it’s easy to fall into the ‘roommate’ phase and start taking each other for granted. That’s why we make it a point to have regular date nights—it keeps the romance alive, helps us reco

Why do women still get judged for body hair?
Why do we treat body hair like shame? Women aren’t meant to be spotless 24/7. Some grow it, some remove it, both are okay. But the judgment? That’s what’s actually dirty. #BodyHair #FeminineConfidence #feminine #bodycare #shavingtipsforgirls

Why do people pretend underwear are sexy?
hot take: Underwear just aren’t that sexy. It’s basically sweaty, stringy butt floss living rent-free between your cheeks all day. Uncomfortable, impractical, and honestly… kind of gross when you think about it. I get the aesthetic in certain outfits, but who decided this should be the “sexy”
