Oh, Rock & Republic...how I adore thee! There isn't anything from the line that I've tried so far, and haven't loved or really liked. So far, it's a very solid cosmetic brand giving you your money's worth (and not many brands can deliver that). At first glance, all of the items are very pricey...but when you dig a little deeper and realize the great quality, packaging and overall awesomeness you're getting -- the prices are more than worth it. Just about every R&R product I've purchased has been from sort of sale. I recently picked up 12 of their eyeshadows, which I'll admit I wasn't in a big hurry to buy, but I'm glad I did. They're incredible.

Hello, lovlies! As some of you may know, I'm giving the "natural hair" thing a shot. The last time I had a relaxer was just about a year ago, and I've been transitioning ever since. I've cut nearly all of my relaxed ends off, and I'm nursing my hair to complete and overall health. I've been doing a great job so far, and I don't think my hair has ever been as healthy as it is now. I've been taking all of your suggestions from my last post into consideration, trying some of the products mentioned and right now I want to review my hands-down favorite conditioner (so far) that I've been using on my natural hair journey -- Oyin Handmade HoneyHemp Conditioner!

What does "going natural" mean? Everyone has their own personal opinion and definition. To me, going natural means letting go of those products that hurt your hair more than help. It's not just about simply rocking an afro and shouting out "Power to the people!" all day long. It's about the overall health of each strand, including your scalp -- using the best ingredients made for your hair. It's about taking harsh chemicals out of your hair diet, and using what nature intended. Most of all, it's about loving your hair and taking absolute care of it.

I was watching QVC and saw the most adorable commemorative box of Philosophy's Limited Edition Hope in a Jar moisturizer -- a cult favorite (but screw the cult, I love this stuff whether they do or not). It was a big red textured, glittery box with the Oprah seal -- her baby picture imposed inside of her "O" logo, and a sweet little note from Philosophy to Oprah on the inside flap.

First off, lemme just say thank you so much for the lovely birthday wishes. I love you guys so much <3 I know I haven't been updating lately but I have great excuses, I promise lol. I couldn't log into my own site for about a week because of my shitball hosting company :| All is well again, though -- at least for now! I thought I'd jump back into this week by posting the recipe for this awesome burger (can you tell by now how much I loooove a good burger?) I made last night. It was -- absolutely amazing! Best burger I've ever made, hands down. Simple ingredients, huge flavors, but the difference was the meat...instead of using the regular "ready-made" packet of ground beef, I asked the butcher to grind up a new york strip steak for me and the difference was incredible.
