A lot of time had passed since I purchased something new from AAKASHA on Etsy. I made my first purchase from this gem in 2020, which I blogged about.

I hadn’t carried the bag in quite some… Read More WWBBW: I am a Fan of Slow Fashion; My Thoughts on the Extra Buttoned Long Sleeve Shirt and the Black Kaftan Linen Dress from AAKASHA

Hey Everybody, Comparing is Bad for the Soul!

The thought to write about comparing came to my mind about a week or so ago. It stemmed from something I noticed within me, but the urge to whip out my laptop and write came after an unexpected conversation I had with a co-worker. Now I believe the discussion confirmed my need to share my… Read More Hey Everybody, Comparing is Bad for the Soul!

Body Positivity: Does Personal Preference or “Brutal” Honesty Within a Relationship Cancel Out Love?

A little over a year ago, I received a message asking if I give body positivity advice. In all honesty, I don’t consider myself to be an expert or even an influencer—to an extent anyway. I have affected some fashion choices and purchases, but I don’t know if I’ve swayed anyone’s behavior or thoughts about… Read More Body Positivity: Does Personal Preference or “Brutal” Honesty Within a Relationship Cancel Out Love?

WWBBW Product Review: I Tried Truly Beauty—Is It Worth the Price?

An ad for Truly Beauty popped up on my newsfeed sometime ago. My interest in the brand was piqued due to its packaging. What can I say—I’m a sucker for cuteness. The first items I tried were the Coco Cloud Whipped Luxury Shave Butter, the Coco Cloud After Shave Serum, the Life Saver Starter Razor,… Read More WWBBW Product Review: I Tried Truly Beauty—Is It Worth the Price?

WWBBW: Old Navy is More Size-Inclusive, but Do the Clothes Fit?

In the early 2000s, I was a consistent Old Navy customer. I visited their Baltimore location at Security Square mall on my day off to snag good deals on dresses, tops, and bottoms. I enjoyed shopping there because I could get clothing at a low price, but the sizing was far from perfect. Sometimes I… Read More WWBBW: Old Navy is More Size-Inclusive, but Do the Clothes Fit?

Two weeks ago, I discovered the Peach lip balm by Too Faced has been discontinued. I am still devastated by this tragedy, but I am trying to pick up the pieces and search for a replacement.

Just a Thought with B.B.: “Words Have Power”

The impact words have on our well-being has been on my mind. Mainly because I recognized I created an atmosphere of anxiety and doubt by the words I spoke and thought. I’ve been making a conscious effort to “speak life” into everything because words have tremendous power. In the latest YT video, I share more… Read More Just a Thought with B.B.: “Words Have Power”

It’s Valentine’s Day, Again—Does Cupid Know Where I Live?

Today is Valentine’s Day, and I pondered over whether or not to write about it—mainly because I didn’t think I had anything new to say. How many times do I need to remind you and me to love ourselves regardless of what is transpiring around us? How many times do I need to mention we’re… Read More It’s Valentine’s Day, Again—Does Cupid Know Where I Live?
