I never really paid attention to my skin hydration until about four years ago. In Florida, it just always glistened; soap and water always worked. Enter New York City. Not only is the weather completely dry and drastic, but the air quality is, well, for shit. The concrete jungle locks in most of the pollution [...]

Hips, Lips, Face, and Hair
Pretty vague title, but its gets to the point. This month I challenged you, and myself, to take 30 minutes everyday and reflect on the wins of 2019. I decided, why not make those 30 minutes a quick self-spa treatment. Winter does the most damage to my hair and skin so why not moisturize and [...]

December Dreaming
A year ago today, I was prepping for Nigeria: getting shots, shopping, packing. I was nervous but EXTREMELY excited, but I'll tell you more about that story later. While celebrations this year will be stateside and a bit more laid back, the emotions seem to remain. December presents an end to one year and the [...]
Blank. Canvas.
There's something special about life just after a mid-day rain. The steam rises softly from the asphalt slowly and sensually melting back into the air it just fell through. Trees never look so happy as after that mid-day rain. I swear I can hear the roots growing and the trunk chuckling in that gut-deep uncle [...]
