By Katrice 2012 has been the best year of my life. I admit, I say this about every year because I'm thankful to have seen it and triumphed. But, I'm ending this one a little bit differently on MVL. I usually dedicate a few posts to the "best style moments" of the year and I'll do at least one before we ring in...
By Katrice This will be happening today: Family. Food. Gifts. Documentaries. And not in any certain order. I love a relaxing Christmas day with good movies and documentaries on deck. If you're the same, I've got a must-see list that will be perfect for the feet propped up position. 1. The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975 If you haven't seen this yet, go now! The Black...
By Katrice Danielle, The Style & Beauty Doctor Who doesn't love a holiday party? Mix in a bit of fashion and the party could go on all night. Thanks to bloggers The Style & Beauty Doctor, The Fashionista Next Door, The Baby Shopaholic and Lexi with the Curls, I got a peak at JustFab's latest holiday offerings during an intimately festive mixer at...
By Katrice I'm back with another android phone to fancy for the next couple of months; Thanks to Verizon Wireless and the Ambassador Program, I'll be seeing how well the Droid DNA integrates into my life. I've had it for about two weeks, and have been toggling between its settings and the Google Play Store to get everything just the way I want...
by Katrice As I was driving to work one day last week, I realized that I do everything at a fast pace. Whenever I'm sitting still, I can barely relax for feeling as if I'm lazy; I generally operate between to paradigms: Movement and sleep. Have you noticed the ever-rising hype (bolstered by social media) that has developed around "being" (and appearing) super...
By Katrice I've been natural now for four years and thankfully have found a selection of products to help keep my hair healthy and happy. It was a long road, so when people stop me to ask what I'm using, I feel compelled to share as much as I can. I like to try a lot of new products, but truthfully there a...

By Katrice I'm back from Germany ... a little jetlagged but feeling good and raring to share pics I took during curlBOX's Black Friday Warehouse Sale. Friend Myleik, the founder and CEO of curlBOX, was brilliant for opening up the bounty for lovers of the natural hair to shop the overflow of products. The promise was 4 full-size products of your choice for...

By Katrice Dr. Alvetta Peterman Thomas, president of Atlanta Technical College, is not your typical college president. Well, I should say, not like any college president I've ever met. She's accessible, but not in a politician type of way ... really accessible. If you meet her in passing, she will engage you and you'll feel as if you've known her for a while....
By Katrice Before the temperature suddenly dropped last weekend, I was set on downsizing all but two pairs of my boots. I'm exaggerating ....... but I did make up my mind after last winter's extreme mildness that having so many pairs was completely unnecessary in the Southeast. And then I stepped out of the airport Sunday night and the temperature was 47 degrees....

By Katrice Prologue: I promised the first of this series would be a piece on Dr. Alvetta Peterman Thomas, but a sudden change in circumstances has moved me to begin here. In life, there are those who will give you a push ... and then are those who will run behind you with their hand in the small of your back. For me, this...
By Katrice In just over a month, I'll be making my first trip to Germany by way of Frankfurt. EXCITING NEWS !! for me, considering that I've recently become completely enthralled with World War II and the war-torn country's recovery. My best friend has been to Germany and it remains one of her favorite places to travel, so I've made a mental note of all...
By Katrice I've been trying the HTC Droid Incredible through the Verizon Ambassador Program for the past two months and I'm thinking it may difficult for me to give it up when the program ends. Before I even downloaded one app, my loyalty to my personal phone had waned. It could have been the mobile hotspot that saved the day while I was...
By Katrice Toye Adedipe is what he does. He's fresh ........ and he makes others fresh. The celebrity stylist and friend to MVL's journey as a wardrobe stylist began as a kid in the early 1990's when he noticed the characters in his favorite comic book, Archie and Friends, changed clothes with each issue. While this may have been insignificant to other readers, it became a...
By Katrice If you don't know anything else about me, know that I believe in speaking life. I believe in sharing my experiences, my findings, my resources and my access. It was the premise for me even launching My Vicarious Life ... a forum for me to "live" my life decidedly and purposefully, and hopefully inspire you to do the same. As my...
