For anyone who has ever had a glass of wine with me, they are well aware that my wine of choice is Cabernet Sauvignon. As with many beginner wine drinkers, red wine was never my drink of choice, but as I’ve gotten older and my palate has changed, I’ve become a red girl. I especially love a good bottle of red during the winter months, but that doesn’t stop me from indulging during the summer. So let’s get into this month’s wine of the month.

Makeup has never been my thing. I actually didn’t start wearing it until my late 20s but I’ve grown to gain a bit of appreciation for it and have enjoyed learning more and more. Over the years I’ve found my staple items and very seldom do I move away from what works. I like to keep my makeup soft and natural while creating a great “skin” base. It’s all trial and error, honestly, and I’m just trying to figure it out. It’s especially difficult when you have sensitive skin. It’s also challenging finding the right tones as a Black woman.…
When I was a kid, I remember watching The Young and the Restless religiously! Whenever Victor Newman would have visitors he would serve liquor (likely Scotch) from the decanter on his bar cart. I couldn’t wait until I became an adult and impress my guests in that same way. Fast forward, I’m an adult and serving glasses of wine to myself. The upside? I’m serving myself from a fancy decanter. To be honest, I make it a mission to treat myself just as well as I would treat my guests. That means, delicious bottles of Zinfandel, from beautiful decanters, into…
Fun Fact: I completed the WSET level 1 Wine certification. So technically, I’m a wine expert. The good news for you is, I will be sharing all of my wine related content with you, right here. One thing about me is that I love to entertain. Whether I’m entertaining a group of girlfriends or just me and my dog, I’m going to set out a little charcuterie board and a bottle of wine. Each time, I’m using my best glasses, serving trays, and wines regardless of who it’s for. I don’t subscribe to the notion of saving your “good china”…
One thing for certain and two things for sure, Black women are going to put our hair in braids when the summer hits. Growing up, my mom would put my hair in some braided protective style when school ended for summer break. As an adult, I’ve continued the tradition. Braids can be a great way to protect your hair from the elements, give it a break from daily manipulation, and can cut down your time when getting ready to go out. Although your real hair doesn’t require daily care and styling, your scalp does. I try not to do too…
One day, I was checking my beauty inventory to make a list of what needs to be restocked, and I realized that my beauty products have gotten a tad bit boujee. Upgrading your lifestyle isn’t simply about Designer Labels and Handbags, it can also include the products you use in your body care routine. The one (of the many things) thing I splurge on is my body products. Don’t get me wrong, bar soap is still a part of my regiment, but I also like to smell like money at all times. When I was younger, I would watch my…
Graduation season is upon us and to be honest, it’s kinda my favorite time of year. Young adults are transitioning from one part of life stepping into a life full of hopes and dreams. Plus, it’s always great to get together with friends and family to celebrate and eat! I traveled home to Texas to celebrate my bestie’s baby girl’s high school graduation. Since it was a short trip, I was able to pack everything in one duffle bag. That’s a cause to celebrate in itself, to be honest. Are you celebrating any graduations this season? shop the post -Airport-…
