'Cause sometimes you want to adorn yourself, prison style.

wedding
I’m not going to say how much my wedding cost because that’s not classy or whatever, but I will say this: It was half what ever your wedding cost, and this is how I did it.

pores
Aestheticians enjoy working on me. One less than tactful lady could hardly contain her joy when she exclaimed “Your pores are HUGE. And there’s SO MUCH IN THEM.”
knitting
So, I went to a knitting convention this weekend. It was pretty awesome.
deodorant
I'm the MacGyver of Beauty!
pinterest
Most of you know how I feel about Pinterest. I don’t know how many of you follow my “I don’t believe you board,” but there have been some doozies.
chub rub
CHUB RUB: When the inner thighs of a human touch, and upon locomotion, rub together, thus causing friction resulting in a number of maladies including, but not limited to chafing, blisters, rashes, bleeding, bumps and discoloration.

beauty secrets
For every strange cause-and-effect beauty theory my mother handed down to me, she had some equally effective remedies for hair and skin that come straight from the kitchen.

kombucha
The energy and excitement I put into this whole kombucha project only proved that I probably do need more friends.
60s
I want to show you how to channel a 60s vibe that isn’t so OBVIOUS.
crafts
Home improvement is just not my thing. I’m really talented at making a complete balls out of any project, no matter how simple.
mariannicures
I love kits and complicated stuff. But chalkboard nails do not even need any of that.
shampoo
When my beautiful, all-natural-without-being-granola aunt (who is only seven years my senior) suggested that my hair could be cleansed with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and conditioned with vinegar (acetic acid), I was super skeptical.
cookbooks
Like 1960s Playboys or your favorite dirty VHS, cookbooks have a certain tangibility that online recipes cannot replace.
plastic
I left all that boring stuff up to my sartorially dexterous boyfriend while I watched endless X-Files reruns and barked out orders from the couch. GENDER ROLE REVERSALS IN THIS HOUSE, Y’ALL.
diy
I'm cuckoo for this indie brand's solid perfume and truly unique custom blends.
cheese
If you really want to impress the pants off someone, make a staple from scratch.
haircuts
Because you’ve probably had more horrible people cut it before.
nail polish
If nothing else, the elitist gratification of saying, “Oh, this? I mixed it myself!” when someone asks you what color you’re wearing is BEYOND worth it.
get your hair did with nnekay
What better a way to celebrate my black natural roots than by raiding Berkeley Bowl and making some healthy DIY leave-in hair products?
