Have you ever purchased a piece of clothing that you liked but didn’t necessarily love? An item that if you were then great, if not…meh? Today I’m going to be discussing two such pieces—the obvious one being my Vogue t-shirt. I’m not one to dress casual on the daily but I needed some t-shirts for …

Mon nouveau sac Chanel
This is a cheeky little sneak peek at a very special package that I received in the post a few days ago–a very special package indeed–my new Chanel bag! I always jump for joy when I buy a new bag because I’ve always had a love affair with handbags. They truly excite me. The older …
Nubian Heritage Olive Oil & Green Tea Facial Soap
I adore the Nubian Heritage line of soap bars. For the past three years, I have faithfully used their African Black Soap on the daily but came across the Olive Oil and Green Tea soap and decided to give it a try. While the Black soap is more for detoxifying the skin, the Green Tea …
Bronze Goddess Eau Fraîche Skinscent
Bergamot. Amber. Tiare Flower. Vanilla. Coconut–you wouldn’t think the notes in this fragrance would be suitable for crisp and icy winter days but that’s exactly what I’ve been gravitating toward this past winter. I bought Bronze Goddess about five years ago to use specifically for the summer months that season. I liked it but it …

It’s iconic in my eyes–truly I remember where I was and the exact moment I saw that film back in …
My First Haircut

I love antiquing–ask my friends and they’ll tell you that I’d take an antique mall over a real mall ANY DAY. Last week I was doing some online window shopping and spotted a charming little children’s blue willow tea set–until that moment–I had no idea that anything like this ever existed. I thought about buying …
