I just got in from a fun day in town.I did a double whammy. Two movies at the cinema in one day. Today was all about team #RepresentationMatters. To say I was gassed about seeing Moonlight and Hidden Figures at my local indie cinema is an understatement. There’s been huge Oscar buzz about both films.  Moonlight is written and directed by Barry Jenkins. It’s a…

I have to say I have had it with the degradation of beauty blogging. Initially, this consumerist uprising took the beauty community by storm because regular people were reviewing beauty products and showcasing their skills in makeup artistry. These…

Well, hello there. This was going to be an awesome review of the Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque. But guess what? I can’t review it because Groupon sent me a fake product. How did this happen? Grab some snacks and let me tell you a story. My bestie and fellow black haircare obsessive raved about this product. I read a good amount of reviews…
