Greetings!

            I have been gone for quiet too long and it’s because I needed a break from life! Although I went to Paris for the whole of last month, I was also taking some really fun classes. Well, before I embarked on my trip, I was doing some research to finally get rid of my acne scars, which have been haunting me since high school. I stumbled upon this amazing little tool called a Derma roller.

            Derma rolling is not a very popular treatment in the market since it i...

Although since going natural two-years ago my hair has improved significantly, there is still one problem that remains; dryness. If your hair is naturally curly, then you know exactly what I'm talking about. Curly hair lacks a lot of moisture and you must always keep it hydrated by using the right products that contain no sulfate or other damaging ingredients. Shopping for hair products is like shopping for food at the market, you should ALWAYS read the label. 

I have tried numerous ways to re...

I was 5 years old 
When she took me to her boyfriend's house
she went to the back with him 
I was in the living room
I was 5 years old.

Then she got married, sort off.

I was 20 years old.

The memory triggered.
 5 years old again.
She was screaming, begging him to stop.
Telling him to let go.
I was standing, paralyzed. 
I couldn't he...

The New York Subway

Its funny; how life works. 

My city is united by railways. 

5 boroughs, and everyday is the same routine

4am, workers dragged out their bed sleep on the karts on their way to work

No care for appearance, pulling through the hours to make an extra cent

To be home, before their kids arrive from school.

12 Noon, we begin to see the homeless

Begging for money, for different reasons 

But to us it all sounds the same.

We venture along these carts on the same routine.

With hopes that show n...
