You’ve probably seen it on other natural hair blogs, or heard about it on forums. I was lucky enough to host a giveway on Afrobella Radio, and the kind folks at Huetiful sent me a hair steamer of my own to try out! I was pretty skeptical at first. But, here’s my before pic to…

Want Of The Week: Low Heeled Shoes from Scarpasa.com
Lately I’ve come to some sad realizations about myself as a fashionista. I can do some pretty great makeup, I’ve got a decent accessory collection, and I know how to pull an outfit together more or less. But my shoe game is weaker than weak. And it’s all because of my flat, flat feet. As…
