Don't Give Up On Your Natural Hair

Felicia Leatherwood July 29, 2011
By Katrice  Today, I am especially thankful for every natural hair blogger and Vlogger in the universe. You are so necessary. So often, women e-mail me or stop me on the street to pick my brain about their natural hair, and though I don't consider myself a natural hair blogger -- I love when it happens because I remember believing that I would...

I downloaded the e-mail magazine's free app on to my iPad today and I'm banking on it being my guide to a whole host of eats and entertainment that I've yet to try in Atlanta {and abroad}.  You tell it the day & time, location, what...

Femme Fatale

Asos July 27, 2011
By Katrice  I'm so excited about the feminine edgy shoulder bags I'm seeing for the fall. I already have a couple on deck, which will be a nice change up from my normal haul of large totes. Though, I doubt I'll ever fall out of love with my roomy pocketbooks, here's a few of designs I'll be dreaming about tonight. Marc Jacobs Luisa...

Afro Envy ♥ {NBAF}

Afro envy July 18, 2011
By Katrice I spent my Sunday afternoon working Atlanta Tribune's booth at the National Black Arts Festival in Atlanta and was in natural hair heaven. I saw so many styles that I wanted to try that I had to whip out my camera. I struggled with whether I should file this post under Inspiration Found or Afro Envy. Both apply. But, alas, afro envy it...

The Original BBQ Chicken Chopped {Salad}

California Pizza Kitchen July 10, 2011
By Katrice Apparently, my addiction to salads with corn and tortilla strips is picking up speed. One sight of those two ingredients in the description of a salad at any restaurant, even when I'm not in the mood for salad, and I can't bring myself to order anything else. My latest love -- California Pizza Kitchen's Original BBQ Chicken Chopped.  Ingredients: Sweet corn,...

MVL Chat w/ Celebrity Makeup Artist Stephen Moleski

Kim Kardashian July 10, 2011
By Katrice  I knew Stephen Moleski's work before I knew Stephen Moleski. In the midst of planning my look for this year's Trumpet Awards, I came across a photo of the standard-bearing Kim K. smokey eye and sent it to my makeup artist with a note: "This is it." The photo led me to the celebrity makeup artist's YouTube tutorials and well, here we are. His...
