Natural Hair…
I’ve always been that girl who roots for the girl with that natural Afro, the beautiful braid-out, the wicked nice twist-out or the bomb ass Bantu knot-out.

The Move…
So, like I’ve previously mentioned, I moved out of Brooklyn…. One of the most terrifying decisions I’ve ever made was to buy a house. Because, I never imagined myself being single and owning a home.

Everyday I drink two glasses of red wine and frequently, I read relationship books. I follow relationship gurus on social media and I often screenshot their quotes.
