Get Coffee, Be Happy! My Need for Solo Dates

When Florida entered phase one of re-opening I decided to start taking myself on solo coffee dates. Once a week I get dressed up grab my laptop and enjoy some alone time at a local coffee spot. I started doing this as a form of introvert self-care. Prior to the pandemic, I had at least one week of alone time at home because Mr. Evans and I had didn’t have the same days off. That went out the door when he started working from home and now we’re two peas in a pod. Which is a little too close for comfort at times, lol. Don’t Take it Personal It’s always hard to explain a need for introverting time to non-introverts. Wanted to be alone or asking for space may seem hurtful to those that love you and enjoy spending time with you. Mr. Evans is an introvert, with extrovert tendencies,…

Weekend Wear: Leopard Dress + Distressed Jeans

Girl Talk: My Natural Hair Journey

It Started With a Big Chop June 11, 2011, that’s the day I big chopped, after transitioning for a year. When I cut off my relaxed hair I had no plan. I came home from work washed my hair and just didn’t feel like dealing with two textures of hair anymore. So I slathered a huge amount of conditioner on my hair, grabbed my shears and started cutting. Initially, I felt great!. Then I started to freak out because I had no idea how to style my natural hair. Lace-front wigs were my go-to style so I decided to keep rocking those until I felt confident enough to start wearing my natural hair. Eight Year Later Here I am eight years later and I’ve just started to fully embrace my natural hair. Between 2011 and now I have had about every protective style you can think of. However, my go-to…
