Texture Tuesday | Politics of Hair: “Good” hair & the Black Community

November 26, 2013 by Alisha 23 Comments

Today’s post is from guest Blogger Moe from Chasing Moe. She is one of my favorite bloggers and always says what a lot of people are thinking, but are too afraid to say it. “Chasing Moe is about introspection, emotional cleansing….and being my raw, unfiltered self…in a blogosphere full of niche, cliche, and painted veils.” Please be sure to check out Moe’s blog for more “raw, unfiltered” posts.

Growing up, I never thought my hair was any better than anyone else’s. I had ponytails with barrettes to match my outfit like everyone else. It wasn’t until a girl named Ebony decided to cut my hair in 6^th grade because ‘I had good hair, and it’ll grow back fast’, that I ever TRULY realized how much some people within the black community felt about hair in general.

What day is it?!?! Hump Daaayyy! Every Thursday from 9-10pm CST I’m in my own little happy world watching Scandal. Everyone and EVERYTHING must stop talking during this hour. LOL The main character Olivia Pope is a huge lover of wine. Every since I saw her wine glasses, I knew I had to track them down! They are the most beautiful piece of stemware I’ve every laid my eyes on. And to top it off…one of the glasses come in 23oz. Brought a tear to my eye. HAHAHA Ok I’m sure I wouldn’t actually drink 23oz of wine in one sitting, but just knowing if I wanted to makes me pretty darn happy. Check out the glasses.

MANICure Monday | Owl Always Love Nail Art

November 11, 2013 by Alisha 22 Comments

Happy Monday! This past weekend I put on one of my Origami Owl parties for a good friend. Origami Owl is a fun way to build your own locket that can be changed out as often as you like. Every locket is unique and tells YOUR story. So what better way to get ready for the party than to do a little nail art to show just how much I love being a Designer Consultant for Origami Owl. I initially did all of my nails with base coat Essie in Miss Fancy Pants. But after day one about 3 of the nails chipped…ugh! But the nails with the art on them were still in great condition so I decided to go with something bolder for the other nails! I used China Glaze. I’ve gotten so many compliments with that color!

Imagine you giving the perfect gift – a locket or bracelet with 3-5 charms inside – such as a book, music instrument, a child’s birthstone, occupation, faith, or their most treasured cause – that tells the story of their life. That would make me feel amazing to receive a gift that was customized especially for me.
