These are the books that have survived our bookshelf — the ones with bent/chewed up corners, missing pages and covers, and crinkled spines from being read over and over again at 8pm with a tired toddler on my lap. If it's on this list, i highly recommend.

As a plus size momma, with all the postpartum body "goodies", finding the perfect, work out fit which was both comfy and cute, was a bit of a challenge. Here's what's working for me, so far...

So, if you grew up like me, with a mamma who believed in holistic body care and nourishing the body with butters n oils, this is definitely for you!!! These are the products living/have lived on my bathroom shelf. Not the fancy shelf, the everyday one. The one I reach for after every shower. Some are under $10. None of them disappoint. And for my melanin-rich girls, I've got a whole section just for us — because ashy is not the vibe and we deserve products that actually show up on our skin.

Being a chocolate African girlie, in African, who's not that into heavy make, I love a quick, no makeup-makeup look... very minimalistic type of makeup. So here's what has been working for me over the years...

Over two years ago, i decided to start reading, mostly for the purpose of self-improvement and entertainment. It has been an amazing journey, really, and im excited to share what has been keeping me busy so far. So here's some books that actually helped me stop self sabotaging, procrastinating, and actually being the best version of myself. I also created a list of others that I just read for entertainment, which I really enjoyed. I hope you enjoy them too.
