I remember when I was little, around maybe 8 years old or so. My grandma would give me these little tiny lipsticks to play dress up with when we were at her house. I have recently learned that those were Avon lipstick samples. They looked similar to this... I remember plenty of pink and red... Continue Reading →
Living in the midwest, I have grown to expect a white Christmas. I have such a love for snow, perhaps it is because I am a December baby. All I know is Christmas doesn't seem right without it. This year we have already had a nice accumulation of snow (as you can see from this... Continue Reading →
Day 13: Take a selfie just as you are and find something to love about it. Uhm, okay, so I didn't plan for this one as I don't read ahead on the daily prompt. Here is my picture, mind you I am in bed and chose to be lazy and not wash my face tonight... Continue Reading →

Nia Simone wrote about accepting your physical self, including your natural hair. Ever since I was little, I have had thick and curly hair. At some point, my mom had started perming...
