my serious shrinkage face

shrinkage,

i hated you for a long time, and why shrinkage, why did i do that? i ask this rhetorically because i now realize that it was you who helped to keep my hair moisturized and you who helped me – less my desire to admit it – GROW my hair. there! i said it, now you can go gloat in your glory – your much deserved glory. you often get a bad rap from curly and kinky haired girls, and i wasn’t helping the situation because i was drinking the shrinkage haterade too – but now i realize the error in my shrinkage hater ways. shrinkage, i want to have [click to continue…]


“see i don’t know if you get it yet, he’s like a lighter to my cigarette, watch me smoke…”

recently i watched this video on youtube a couple of times. when i like a song, i usually play it a few times just for good measure.

“What we’re doing now is moving into a polyethnic space. We want to be the first beauty brand that truly captures the beauty of the tapestry of skin types in America. When I say polyethnic, I mean women who are made up of several ethnicities. If you ask them what they are, they’re going to use a lot of different words to describe themselves.
