Having hair in Houston is a double-edged sword. On one hand, that humidity keeps our hair moisturized, but that same humidity will take your hair from silky straight to frizzball as soon as you walk out of the door. Being a born and raised Houstonian, I get this and I have come up with my … Continue reading
Heads up! This post is sponsored by Favor, but all opinions are my own! Scroll down to see Favor’s January deals! Let’s talk about resolutions.

PALOMA 11700 Post Oak Blvd. Suite 2-150 For a while there, I was a big participant in the “Treat Yo’Self” revolution. Once I made a steady income, getting mani-pedis was a monthly must.

Like, this haul for instance… the Paula’s Choice Clinical Treatment Cloths, that treat non-face acne. Granted, it’s not something I would have ever thought to buy, but that’s because I don’t have the … Continue reading
